Long time lurker, first time poster up north, wishing Longmont would secede from Boulder County, .223 ammo would grow on trees and this job market would turn back around (although, Monday trips to the North Site don't suck) so I could settle the debate on whether I want to drop an Aimpoint or an Eotech on my rifle. Yes, I know...:rolleyes: For now, irons rule the day and I'm happy to bulk up on my old-school shooting skills all over again. [Weight]

I've been shooting for nearly 30 years but recently joined the rank-and-file of Scary Black Gun owners with a new S&W M&P15OR. So far I've just slapped on some GG&G flip-up backup sights, a MIAD grip and have been picking up PMAGs anywhere I can find them (six are in the bag, two are on a UPS truck right now).

I tell our friends I'm thankful for both the outgoing and incoming presidents for our latest purchase -- Obama for scaring me into dropping the $1000 and Bush for giving us the tax break on our new home and working to repeal the old ban that had me drooling over friends' weapons for ten years.

I ran across this forum in a search for local public shooting areas and worked out (between verbal directions and Google Maps) how to get to the "North Site" -- I'm very impressed with that area and am one to pick up as much as I can when I head home. My wife and I mostly shoot at the indoor club in Loveland but I try to get up to the North Site area as much as time, funds, and permission allow. I've run into a few members here and have to say I'm very impressed with folks.

Before you give me the [Worth] I should mention I'm actually a photographer. Here are a couple you may enjoy:

Cheers! See you on the mountain or at the club...

Welcome to the forum.

Nice pics.
Just wonderin, what is "scary" about black guns? LOL

Oh, and one correction, in the quote below, if you don't mind. Bush did NOT work to repeal the old ban. Matter of fact, he said he WOULD sign a new AWB if it came across his desk. (and before I get blasted, he pretty much KNEW it wouldn't happen)

Welcome! And. . . before you blow up the Xbox, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. . . as long as it's still in one piece [Ban3]

Sorry, it radically changed shape moments after the first photo was taken. Some things have to be done... this was one of them.

And, for the record, I picked up all the pieces and carted them back to the truck.

That's a rather expensite target holder. I hope you don't use an Xbox to put all of your targets on! [Beer]
