This sounds like a reaonable idea. What type of "training" are you thinking of?? Squad tatics? One on one stuff? Or just getting used to working together as a group? I have a pistol range on-site, that will handle about 5 shooters at a time. 40 yds right now with plans to move it out to at least 50yds. Some steel plate targets, some target frames for paper. I live between Elgin and Bastrop, so not too far from Austin. I would like to meet at a local range first to get a "feel" for the group before bringing a bunch of people to the house that I don't know...yet! I also have tools to build steel plate targets if needed. Plasma cutter, wire welder and some stock steel. I guess the first thing we need to do is plan a time and place to make that first meeting. The Lone Star Range worked out well for me last time. Weekends are usually good for me. MG
I don't blame you for wanting to meet everyone before having them show up at your place....
Your just right up the road from me. Where is the Lone Star Range? I have been itching to go to the range, but travel so much and have been so busy I have not been able to get out and shoot more than 50 rounds through my new Kimber. I know of a place I can go out in Rosanky where I took my CHL class, but even that close and I have a hard time getting there...
As far as the type of training, I'm mainly interested in getting more practice to get good with my guns first off (perfecting the basic skills since its been so long since I have shot regularly), improving technique for drawing down properly, and would like to get some practice on personal defense skills ( how to use a weapon in close quarters, etc.) and it would be fun to get into match shooting or the sort eventually...
I think the whole group concept is a good idea. I think if we do this, we should do it like any club and have club positions or at the very least a safety officer....safety is first and we need to have someone who is ensuring we are doing things proper, No Exceptions, to keep everyone safe, but we can discuss all of this at the first get together.
Lets get a place and time set up so I can see if I can make it...if Lone Star is close by, lets do it...
