Hi all,  I actually live in western Washington state, but have an opportunity to transfer to Boise with my work, so I thought I'd look into what is available over your way. 
I've been shooting competitively, handloading, & collecting firearms since I was sixteen (I'll be 50 next March!!).  My main interest for the last 10-12 years has been muzzleloading, & have been fortunate to have been a member of the U.S. International Muzzleloading Team since 2000. As a result most of my current firearms are muzzleloaders, both originals & reproductions, but I also have a few others that would fall into the more 'modern' category, both rifles & handguns.  I have a couple of mil-surp rifles that I enjoy shooting, & have used my Lee Enfield in a couple of modified CMP matches that my local club has held for Memorial Day. Although muzzleloading takes up much of my shooting time, my interests are very wide & I look forward to exploring what the Boise-area's shooting community has to offer.

Welcome.  You'll enjoy Idaho if you end up heading this way.
The dumber people think you are the more surprised they are going to be when you kill them.

"You'll enjoy Idaho if you end up heading this way."

Yes, I'm sure I will.  I used to live in south-central & eastern Idaho back in the mid 1980s for three years, but never spent much time around Boise.
