    Default New to this forum.

    Hello. I was searching for Colorado ranges and clubs and you guys came up. I decided to register mostly for the shoots, events, and training threads. Have been reading for a few days and decided on a quick introduction. I grew up with avid outdoorsmen, started shooting at about 10 years old. Archery and clay pigeons were my favorite as a kid. Sadly, there was about a 10 year period where I didn't shoot at all but I got right back into it 5 or 6 years ago. Lately I've had a chance to wear and use some newer military night vision, play on some combat courses and dueling trees, shoot a pop-up course, enjoy some 750 and 1000 yd ranges, and I love it all. Bought my AR-15 from a builder friend and in the future (though I don't have the tools or know-how quite yet) I plan to build, or help build, a 10 and then another 15. I am female, of the lady variety. For now I'll most likely steer clear of political and "news" threads. On this forum I may not post often, I may not be quick to reply, and I may ignore personal questions. I'll shoot alone, no problem, but I like learning, asking lots of questions, and trying new things/techniques. I have friends in this state but none are into (own and shoot) guns, so I'm giving your forum a shot. I work a lot but I plan to attend some shoots (both Monday night pins and any skeet/trap opportunities sound awesome!) when I can, and look forward to meeting some of you in person, eventually.

    I'm here to learn, both from the forum and the range. Thanks.

    Welcome! You are not alone (in the female, lady variety). There are a few members from the majority sex here abouts, but they tend to be more reserved than some of the general membership.

    First and foremost, this is a community. While most of the interaction takes place here online, many of us have met, traded stories, and gun accessories, ammunition, etc... Like any community, we have all types of people. We also have a few rules, but we try to use a gentle nudge rather than let the Ginsue swing the ban hammer too frequently. If you have a problem with any member, see if you can resolve it through PM. If that isn't working or you are not comfortable with that option, PM a member of the staff. They are a great group of people and they truly care about keeping this the type of place we would be happy to have friends and family take part.

    Again, welcome! I hope you find time to become a part of this community.

    Be safe.

    Welcome, join the fray.

    Since you were searching ranges/clubs, I will plug Colorado Rifle Club. Many members of this forum are members there and many of us who are not members of CRC still participate in competitions and events there.

    Laughed so hard my drink came out my nose.... Thanks I needed that. It is kind of unfortunate that additional explanation as to how "Exactly" you are a female is necessary these days [Cough\]Bruce Jenner[\Cough]. Welcome.
