We'll start out with a orientation in the class room and then spend the next three to four hours on the shooting range. You fire a hand gun when you are ready.

We will supply practice guns (laser and air soft) to get you used to handling a firearm safely. We will have a few other bigger caliber hand guns for you to try out later on if you desire, to help you decide what kind of firearm you may want to purchase in the future.

Got about 15 on the list to shoot this coming Saturday. Keep letting me know if you plan on it so we can figure the food.

Thanks,

Has been snowing here at the range. Everyone knows to check the passes either north or south. Have people dropping out because of weather. Still about 15 on the list. There should be plenty of food. See ya if you can get through.

Don't worry, I like talking to my self here.

We had 19 shooters at our match yesterday. I didn't shoot cause I didn't want to show anyone up. I wanted to get some video but I think my camera broke down for the last time. It was a difficult COF. With 500 points possible the scores reflect it. Robert did a great job designing it. Fog covered everything past 200 yards till just about shoot time. Mother Nature took my threat seriously. Out to 1000 yd shots were possible then.

For those 19 shooters, I say again, thanks for the laughs. My brain wasn't feeling too good and I needed the lift. Ya I'm getting old, but not as old as Bruce. I spent 10 days camped out at the range, mostly building, hauling, rearranging, repairing targets over the edge and enjoyed ever minute of it. We can just about do a whole match just on that venue now. There's about 75 targets out there in and across the wash (plus the ones we set up and can't find). Getting out to close to 400 yards if lightning cuts a few more branches in the right places. That would be a good place for my 1 inch wide piano key targets wouldn't it? We need to build a few more shooting positions to go along with the wood pile, tree, car, wall and log cabin. Oh ya, Robert was going to build a roof top. We could use a few more ideas with help building them. We are trying to get two sets of each rack of targets so there's always a back up. We are almost there. We are getting better about getting them to last a long time too.
