Great getting out with James and Jon yesterday. Beautiful day and a good one to get some trigger time.
My take on the club since the changes is grim. The Slob factor during the last few years of Gunny Pitts tenure was palpable and clearly, the defacto coup that resulted first in his ouster, then the 1-1.5 year limbo that ultimately resulted in the complete demo and reconstruction of the club into its present format is as sad as it is surprising. Surprising in the extent of the change there.
Range officers and office staff openly carrying side arms is new and frankly, odd. I'm not intimidated or stifled by openly armed people but I have never seen Range Officers so equipped!
The new rules aren't especially onerous.
I didn't make the time to use the pistol range but I like the layout, flexibility and extended range available there now.
The three tiered public rifle line will take some getting used to but it has its uses.
The 600 yard line, once I qualified with the three rifles I brought there yesterday, was challenging. It would be nice to get my loads refined to eliminate some of the guess work when impacts fly into the grassy foreground or background.
You can't go home...
Sure as hell. That club was the shit for a long time. That time has surely passed.
