I'm not going to be able to host anything in May unfortunately...let's do it somewhere else and I'll keep working on the ranch.

We could go to an indoor range. But I'll see if anyone has a gun friendly outdoor location.

I'll come down there and teach you rookies how to shoot.
Thrakk I'll need you to put an apple on your head at 100 yards.

TIA.

Nope. Not entirely.
Personally I've always used inches and feet for measurement.
Most building and trades people still use inches also.

I'm hopefully in.

I'd love to find an outdoor ranch to shoot at. Indoor is convenient for regular practice, but would suck for group type activities.

We might be able to do it at the Stunt Ranch SW of Austin. Small outdoor range. Can't shoot long distance there.

I'll ask around. People might be worried about liability.

I'll donate my printer to the cause for a target. It decided to break this morning, and now it's nothing but an over sized paper weight.

Picked up a Ruger Mark III (.22 LR) at the Saxet Gun Show today. Already made a trip to the range. Fun target gun.

It's this weekend? I forgot. Wanted to take my son. Maybe tomorrow although I'll be exhausted after photo shoot.

I have a tv to shoot.

Yup. Travis County Expo Center.

If you're looking for anything to add to your AR that place would be heaven. :yesnod:
