Been reading through the posts for quite some time, figured I'd buck up and just join. Been around firearms as long as I can remember, between hunting with my step dad growing up and watching my grandpa reload all the time I visited, I feel firearms was ingrained in me at a very young age.
I no longer hunt big game and occasionally will go bird hunting. I just within the last year have started reloading, mainly .223 and . 45, all on a Lee single stage. I currently am in the process of saving money to be able to graduate to a Dillion to load various calibers.
I got into the competition game in the spring, shooting steel challenge and then got into IDPA. Shot my first classifier last week and surprised my self by making Marksman and only being 7 seconds from Sharpshooter in SSP. Didn't think I did too bad being my first classifier and only having shot to matches before that. I really enjoy what competition shooting has to offer and really wish I had found it sooner. Glad to be a part of the forum and am looking forward to gaining a wealth of knowledge.
