Realized I forgot to ever make an introduction post, even though I signed up a while back. Sorry.

Im a mid twenties guy, senior engineer at an aerospace company, living in Littleton right now. Grew up and went to college in the South, but never owned firearms, but have been a fan since I was 10, and have shot before. Joined the forum because I read this is a better place to go for Colorado specific gun things.

I'm one of those people who got their first firearm during the COVID craziness. Picked up a M&P 40 Shield as my first gun, then obtained a concealed carry license. Then got an AR Pistol because they look fun. (Turns out they are!) Then got a membership at the nearby range, and picked up a Ruger 10/22, because I figured that'd be good to show people who've never shot guns before how to do so. Then got a Ruger American rifle and a Vortex scope for it. I then learned why we need gun control, because my bank account is mad at me.

I'm hoping to find some land I can go to and learn to shoot long range with the bolt action. I need to do some research on where I am allowed to shoot on public land (I think I can shoot on BLM land, as long as there isn't a Stage 2 fire ban?), because the range here is only 25 yards.


Just wanted to say hi!
