Hmmm. . . My plan was to make this a monthly thing and make it the second Sunday of each month (because quite frankly, Sundays are good days for me to go shooting and also as not to interfer with
50 Shooter's monthly shoot at Angeles Ranges).
I also chose SGVGC for a number of reasons:
1. I always shoot there anyways, and the employees recognize me.
2. Time is running out for this range, since it is expected to be closed down
some time this year.
3. It is sorta centrally located in SoCal so it shouldn't be too much trouble
for anyone to get to.
My purpose for organizing these shoots is to try to give something back to THR and its members, especially here in SoCal. When I first joined THR, it only took a month for someone to personally invite me to go shooting with him and his family and friends. It meant a lot to me and still does. That's just one of many examples of how this forum has helped me grow as a shooter. It's great to get to know other shooters and learn from them.
Now, I thought after the January shoot this thread would soon fade away a bit before I resurrected it for the February shoot, and I wasn't expecting so many members who couldn't wait 'til then to express interest in the next shoot. Good to see.
Hmmm. . . even though it's a bit early to announce the next shoot, I already have a date in mind, so I may as well tell everyone:
Next SGVGC THR Shoot will be Sunday, February 12, 2005 @12:00 Noon
Location TBA since Burro Canyon has been suggested (though I guess I can't call it a SGVGC shoot if it's at Burro Canyon
).
BTW, my calendar says that is Lincoln's birthday, so feel free to bring a Civil War era or replica weapon. However, that isn't a requirement since I don't have any
.
As I said in the first post, all responsible adults are welcome. And if anyone gives you lip for being LEO, tell' em to come see me
.
[I've shot with quite a few of you guys before but it has been a while.
Long time no see, Tara. Hope you can make it to this next shoot.
(sigh) You guys. . .
