Hey there; glad to be (re)joining this group. By day, I'm the creative director of NRA America's First Freedom ("Why is a gun that works 80% of the time called 'smart?'") and other NRA publications.
On my own time, I like to drill paper and race cars with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Turns out a large number of us racers are also shooters; a growing subset of us shoot steel on Wednesday evenings in Pueblo.
I won my first AR at a Friends of NRA dinner ... About five minutes after my 19-year-old son had emailed me a link to one he wanted ("I have some raffle tickets; just hang on a second").
There are some awesome shooters out here; I thoroughly enjoy competing with them, and learning from them. I hope to see you at the range; say "hello" when you see me.
Thanks!
Clay
