Hi All... Thanks for having me. I was a long time lurker and infrequent "poster" on the old arizonashooting.com forum. I was sad to find that it has died - and happy to find this place.
I've lived in AZ most of my life (contiguous since 1980 with the exception of a couple of gaps for military service) and have spent plenty of time exploring AZ and out shooting "in the sticks." Unfortunately, most of the places that I used to go to shoot are now covered in homes and I'm guessing that the residents would not appreciate me using that old hillside for my sport. So now I burn more gas to get to places where I can still make things go pew pew.
Like many others, I lost most of my firearms in a tragic deep-water boating accident - but I have an interest in most areas of firearms ownership - the notable exception being competitive shotgun stuff (sporting clays / trap and skeet) which just never really caught my attention. I enjoy shooting at small hunks of steel or paper at long ranges - and larger pieces of steel and paper at short ranges, and while competent in both areas I'm far from "good." Current projects include Cajunizing a Shadow 2 and working on an AR-10 in 6.5CM with quality parts.
Looking forward to plugging in here and contributing. Thanks again for having me.
