We should put something together; I'm just worried it will turn out like the last SoCal gathering at Sagebrush - I'll be the only one who showed up and was eating chips and drinking.

Oct 29 or 30?

mechamegalodon is an unknown quantity at this point
I agree, with such a massive range of prices and qualities on AR's you can surely find one you will like. Just do a lot of research into which company to buy from so you can make a good decision for your needs.

Put this on hold for a while, going to put some money into the 911.

Well I'm bitten by the bug again after all these years and have become obsessed!

Last night I rounded up my wife, my buddy and his girl (in case you recognize him, it's he who runs SuperCar Sundays and the Motor4Toys holiday event) and we hit Oak Tree for a few hours of private instruction while handling four different firearms. Our first time to the Club.

It was a first-time shooting for the girls, and the deer wandering into the skeet field and then over into the pistol range didn't help them at all - they thought there might be an ugly ending to it! If you look closely/zoom, you'll see the deer in the tactical range picture.

We then got a start which worked itself into an outstanding session with Tim Mitchell (related somehow to the owner, if not part-owner) and worked ourselves through a .22LR pistol (see picture), a S&W 868 Plus (I think it was) shooting .38 not .357, a full-size Glock in 9mm, and finally a Kimber ACE/USA/something-or-other 9-round .45 Match pistol. I'm getting a Kimber now; that thing was FANTASTIC, worth ever penny!

Total thumbs-up on Tim, the range, and overall experience. I hate to say it, but it might become another 2nd home. Like I need another. Ha!
