Hello - new member!

[illae]

Hello all,
I am a new member from Vancouver BC Canada. I got into precision shooting in the last 18 months - and absolutely fell in love with it. 6 months ago I decided that reloading is the way to go - and am becoming very happy with the results! And come June I will be shooting my first precision match! All the goals I have set out for myself are so far happening.

A little about me - I am 36 and an amputee - I am missing my right hand. I have a blog where I have started writing about what that is like in the shooting sports - http://www.amputee-shooter.com

I am also a photographer - and take photos of firearms and a whole lot of live music - https://www.flickr.com/photos/skinandbones_ca


So that is me - happy to be here to read and learn as much as I can!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I am eager to learn and eager to participate. I currently shoot CQB here in BC - and the match I will be shooting in June is called the BC Precision Rifle Championships. Movers and positional shooting up to 600m.

My rifle is a Remington 700 AAC-SD, HS Precision PST025 stock, Harris bipod, Millett LRS scope, Rifle Basix Trigger. Next week I'll be having a smith put an oversized bolt knob on, bottom metal for a box mag, and bedding the action.

Thanks! Awesome awesome - I am looking to eke out as much accuracy out my current rifle as possible before rebarrel/blueprint.

Thanks very much! Are there a lot of Canadians selling things? I can't bring much across the border without the seller having export permits sadly.
