Dietz Gun Shop & Range
421 Range Rd
New Braunfels, TX 78132
(830) 885-4662
This is our first shooting event and I hope that it will be a success. The purpose of this event is to evaluate each person's skills and to help bring everyone to a baseline skill set. There are several people who will be available to help those that need it.
The second purpose is to give everyone a chance to try out one or more of the "standard" rifle and pistol choices. There will be the following on the line:
• Galil in 5.56x45 (.223 Remington)
• CAR-15 in 5.56x45
• AK-47 in 7.62x39
• Mossberg 100ATR in .308 Winchester
• Marlin 336 in .30-30 Winchester
• Savage 64 in .22 Long Rifle
• Springfield Armory XD in .40 Smith & Wesson
• Smith & Wesson 22A in .22 Long Rifle
• Winchester 1200 in 12 gauge
What to bring. You will need eye and ear protection and the $10 range fee to shoot at Dietz. Bring your firearms and ammunition and a cleaning kit. You should also bring a small supply of ammunition for one of the other guns that you might want to try. In addition to those listed above there may be guns in 9mm, .45 ACP and possibly 7.62x54r on the range but I have no guarantees at this point.
What we will be doing. This event is specifically for learning the basics. We will be shooting from the bench on the rifle range and the 7 to 14 Yard lines on the pistol range. We will be working understanding the manual of arms (how your gun functions and how to manipulate the controls), shooting from the bench and trigger control. We will address failure drills as needed but a detailed study of these techniques is planned for a future range day. We will also work on setting sights and scopes as needed with a bore sight and firing for effect on the rifle range. Learning stance and breath control will be discussed as needed.
We will have a skeet thrower on the line as well. If you want to give it a try bring a shotgun and some skeet shells. We have a box of 90 clays but we will need more. They are available for $4.99 per case of 90 at Academy Sports & Outdoors in San Marcos right now, with a regular price of $6.99 after this weekend. If you would like to try our shotgun bring some 12 gauge skeet loads and some clays.
There has been a request for a gun cleaning clinic so after the event we will hold one in the covered area adjacent to the range.
What we will not be doing. Dietz does not allow rapid fire on either range so there will be no "tactical" training. We will be setting up events for that out at Best In The West in Liberty Hills, TX in the near future. We are going to concentrate on the very basics this time and build a base for improvement the next time.
This is going to be a great opportunity for everyone to get to know one another better, improve skills and have a little fun. I am looking forward to seeing everyone out there.
