Hi!

I am relocating from Las Vegas, NV to Francis, UT this weekend and wanted to introduce myself.  I am presently employed by a global firearms manufacturer and I am active in the firearms training and competition community.  I lived in Moab, UT for four years in the late 90's working for various outdoor adventure guide services and relocated to Vegas to pursue a different line of work and I am looking forward to getting back to Utah.   Though I will be traveling a bit, I can't wait to enjoy the Utah outdoors again and get my desk driven physique looking like someone that actually enjoys life outside!  I am looking to network and meet with all types of people from the Park City, Francis, Kamas, Heber City, Salt Lake area that enjoy USPSA pistol and 3 gun matches, tactical training, long range shooting, ice & rock climbing, and biking.  I already have my Utah CCW permit but have a few questions regarding some of the gun laws.

Hope I get to meet some of you from this board in the near future.

Best,

Ernie Beckwith

Welcome back. That is a great area to live in.

A great board I visit often regarding outdoor stuff along the Wasatch front is http://www.bogley.com/forum/. It is fairly active and great for getting trip reports for hiking/climbing/biking.

Awesome!

Thanks much.  I'm REALLY looking forward to getting acquainted with the area, people, and all it has to offer.

There is some great long range shooting matches out at the old AAF base in Wendover.  Also, there are some mid range matches in Centerville.  Here is a link to the USRPA website: USRPA.org

Well I guess we are going to be neighbors! Welcome. I live right by the flashing light in Francis!!!
I cant shoot a pistol to save my ass, but I host a pretty cool Tactical precision rifle match every month in Park City(PCPR Park City Precision Rifle). I post all the info about the match on snipershide.

Thanks for the info.  

I have a new bolt gun that I need to wring out so the long range stuff is good to hear.  Sounds like there is quite a bit going on within a few hours drive.  

dunno,

We will have to get together!  I should be up there full time by 7/4.  I just messed myself lifting some steel and it looks like I might have to have a quick out-patient surgery that will set me back a day or so.  Look forward to your matches!  Long distance is my new endeavor and I am looking to broaden my skill set a bit.

Thanks again!

Hey Ernie,
Welcome!
I don't know what kind of firearms company you work for but if you ever need a world class facility or a beta tester let me know!
I live down here on lake Powell and have access to a truly unique gun range.-Art
