Hello folks!
Just posting the monthly thread to organize the monthly shoot, here in El Paso. We are shooting for Sunday the 14th, sometime between noon and 2PM, depending on who all wants to come out. Please post in this thread if you are at least going to try to come. Last month was awesome. We had new members out and even though it was a pretty cold day, we were all warmed by the wonderful heat of burning gun powder and we had an awesome time doing so.
OUR ACTIVITIES: Consist of but are not limited to - sharing knowledge - letting each other experience new platforms or calibers - helping each other zero - running drills - analyzing and breaking down tactics including emulating certain events or shootings that have been publicized for the purpose of understanding the mechanics involved in what went wrong or right and getting a feel for how we would have handled those events and whether or not we have the skillset and mindset to act effectively and proficiently - we help each other solve certain problems we may have with firearms that are malfunctioning - we help each other gain more insight into how we can better setup our weapons as well as how we can better use them - we collect data on loads/velocity/casing pressures/standard deviation/as well as the biological variables such as speed of the draw/first shot/splits/the way in which we hold our weapons/the differing ways we view the sights red dots and targets and how we can tie all of this together to create well rounded and unified system for the purpose of helping each other perform as optimally as one's potential allows in order to protect ourselves loved ones and our fellow Americans... Goes on and on.
THE POINT: We are attempting to build connections and friendships between like minded individuals, utilizing something as important as our natural right to self preservation, for the purpose toward a betterment of our own lives and society. For those of you who may not be looking for long term friendship, or a group to mingle with, come out and have fun anyway. You'll still gain a lot from it and you can go your own way at the end of the day.
!TAKE NOTICE!: Safety is our ABSOLUTE and highest priority. If we can achieve safe and disciplined habits and behaviors, it will serve as a strong foundation that we can confidently build onto as we all advance in this martial art that is firearms and self defense. Should anybody show up and not take safety as serious as we do (they should), will be bluntly asked to leave and will not be welcomed back within the group. Obviously accidents happen and even rare negligence can be forgiven, but a careless attitude toward safety will NOT be tolerated. Being safe does not equate to not having fun, we can have both and still be able to make it back home.
COME AS YOU ARE: All you have is a conceal carry handgun? Cool, bring it. You can shoot our rifles. You want to bring 20 guns you're proud of and a ton of nylon? Cool, let's zero em and train. There is no set bar and there are no expectations other than that you are an honorable person, with good character, and good moral intentions.
There are a lot of photos and video from the last couple of shoots that I've compiled into a short video (link below). If you wish to join us, please respond here, or text 915-790-6771 (me/Jon). Please do not call. If you need to ask questions, or something else requiring a call, please text the purpose for the call and I'll call you from a different number. Hope to see some new faces. Have a great rest of your month and God bless!
