A couple of weeks back I started a thread,,,
I was asking what guns you would choose for a kit,,,
The kit would be specifically for taking newbies to the range.
Click here if you would like to see the conversations.
I'll be the first one to admit,,,
My OCD was in full bloom back then,,,
But with the help of another member here,,,
I think I got it under control and am now on a better path.
Having a pair of identical rifles and revolvers,,,
Along with good ear & eye protection,,,
All cased with ammo and tools,,,
That would be just too cool!
But I'm sane and back to reality now,,,
So I went home and dug into my gun cabinet,,,
I think I have a great "Newbie Kit" with stuff I already own.
All I had to buy was a new case,,,
That is only $19.95 new from Cabela's,,,
Thinking ahead, I stepped up and ordered two.
So here is what I have assembled:
So now when I take a newbie to the range,,,
I just reach into the closet and grab this cased set,,,
No more stuffing random items into a bag at the last minute.
Why?,,,
Well, the truth be known,,,
Sometimes it's fun to let my OCD have sway.
I ordered two of those cases,,,
Because I'll probably assemble a second kit,,,
The second will have the same accessories as the first,,,
But the rifle will be the new Savage Mark-II F that I just purchased,,,
And the handgun will be the Charter Arms Target Pathfinder I bought last year.
I work in a student computer lab at a state university,,,
It's not uncommon for me to take two undergrads out at once,,,
So it's only sensible for me to have two Newbie Training Kits, isn't it?
I know what you're thinking,,,
What about my kit?
No worries there my friends,,,
My kit will have all of the same accessories,,,
Along with my CZ-452 Trainer and S&W model 18 revolver.
That should be enough kits for me.
But wait, I have a Mossberg 702 Plinkster,,,
It's all tricked out with a sling and Tech-Sights,,,
I did this so a friend could attend a recent Appleseed event,,,
This kit would need a semi-auto pistol and I think my Beretta NEOS would fit nicely.
Oh my gosh!
I'm spiraling out of control again.
Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
