Welcome to the forum.

The first thing you're gonna find out is, its addicting... And I mean really really addicting. You'll be dropping a good bit of money into your setups and you'll be spending a lot of time shooting, its a passion that's for sure. As far as gear goes, just read the stuff we post here. There is some favorites that pop out from the crowd on some stuff. But for the most part everyone is on a nice level playing ground.

Welcome.

Ryan.
