I'm interested, but have no land to host said event or you would all know me by now. That said, don't be surprised if a land owner is leary and hesitant of putting on an event for strangers. Rather, we should try to convene at a public location and proceed from there for safety and personal home security purposes. Then let said landowner(s) invite those they feel comfortable with, exclude those they don't. Instead, we should schedule an event at a public range or an impromptu range area like Browns Camp gravel pit range or Memaloose area.
I've tried to put something like this together before with little interest. However, the interested party, Rob### (#=number I cannot recall), brought a super neat training tool with 4 man target flippers, remote control pneumatic driven random flippers, air tank and the works. It was quite the hoot, and we thanked him a lot for it by helping him set it up and break it down and load it in his mini van. It was not a small setup. It put the stress on you that you needed to actually perform under pressure. Actually, it was more of a learn from your mistakes tool, and we made a bunch of them. Very neat training tool.
If a list forms, please put me on it for I am interested.
On that note, my neighbor and I headed out to Browns Camp range this morning and enjoyed the solitude for an hour or so, then people started rolling in to sight in their hunting rifles, plink their pistols and what have you. By the time we left some 4 hours later, we had quite a pile of brass scrounged for my reloading fix, targets with lots of holes in them, hot barrels in all the 7 or 8 guns we brought, and big smiles abound. As we left, there were 4 people shooting their pistols with that ever so pleasant, Boom, boom, crack, boom, crack, boom....repeat.
There was this guy in a white Tacoma pickup that I think could have hit squeaks at 60 yards with his browning buckmark pistol.
My neighbor and I repeatedly commented on how we wished we could shoot that well.
