New from Iowa

[Pet-Rock]

Hi All,

My name is Jacob and I'm relatively new to the shooting sports, having shot for only about 5 years.

Nothing competitive, just recreational.

I'm building a budget long-ish range rifle (500-800 yards) so I can take a class with my father at some point in the near future.

This looks like a great forum with a ton of information, so I cant wait to delve into the details over the next few months.

Thanks for having me!

Edit: Some other things about me are that I will be graduating soon with a Mechanical Engineering degree (Go Hawks!) and am also a reloader of 45ACP and 223 when I can make it back home on the few breaks over the year. I like to tinker with just about anything and Im glad to be representing the (possibly few) shooters from the Hawkeye State.
