Lurked here for a little while, and figured I ought to join. I bought my first AR two years ago (a Rock River Arms midlength from Jensen Arms), and I am hooked. When my wife and I are not chasing our kids around (8, 10, 13, & 15), I'm usually shooting or hunting. I am an avid big game and predator hunter. Shooting is definately my passion--especially handguns. My XD 9 and I are extremely fond of IDPA.
