Meet Team WARNE – Dillen Easley Born in 1982. I started hunting with my father around age 10 and deer hunting around age 12. I had the advantage of growing up on a farm, where firearms were part of our lives with hunting, predator control for our cattle, and selling pelts in the winter from hunting and trapping. From an early age, gun safety and respect for firearms was an expectation. I started collecting more of my own firearms while in college, and hunting a little more than I did in high school. I graduated college in 2010 and started my own practice in September of 2010. Upon meeting a new friend in 2011 and shooting together weekly, I was asked in early 2012 about whether or not I had any desire to try a "3-gun match" that was over 2 hours from home. March of 2012, we drove nearly 3 hours east for our first club level match, under Match Director Ken Flood. We left, heading home, after not quite finishing in last place. In May, I helped with and competed in the Midwest 3-gun, my first major 3-gun match. I was hooked, and having never been able to exercise moderation when engaging in something competitive, I couldn't help myself. Within two years, part of the family farm was converted into a practice range, my office schedule was adjusted to allow more time for live-fire practice, and I've attended up to 20 major competitions per year since. I have managed to find success across a wide swath of the country, expand out to enjoy USPSA and more recently a little bit of PRS. I was more formally introduced to Warne products 6-7 years ago and immediately gravitated to the X-Skel mounts for my ARs...red anodizing and I get along. 😉 I now use X-Skel mounts on nearly everything, offset red dot mounts on multiple rifles for hunting and competition, and have become a huge fan of the Skyline arca compatible bipods for use with just about every rifle I own! -@dillen_easley_3gun #USPSA #competitionShooting #3GunNation #3gun #teamWarne #warnescopemounts #confidencewitheveryshot #proshooting #hunter #ar15rifle #ar15 #lpvo #modernsportingrifle #scopemounts https://www.instagram.com/p/CTtOvwDAaWp/

I got pretty choked up and had to fight back some tears while looking for this photo in light of current events. Never forget that day and the sacrifices since. #neverforget
