i wonder if this is the longest ongoing post?
Well, part of the reason I started these group shoots was to be able to meet other THR members and get to know them in real life. I figured it was a good way to contribute to the forum that has helped me so much. Also, the shooting range in San Gabriel really is being threaten with a forced closure. It's been reported on the radio news reports as well as the local newspapers. All the employees know about it, as well as members of the gun club. There have been city council meetings about it, etc.
Last time I talked to the R.O. there, he said they are still trying to fight it but the details are a secret because they don't want the other side to know anything about it. When I started the monthly shoots, I honestly thought the range would be closed by now (although it is a pleasant surprise it is still open). Since then, I have managed to get to know some of the other forum members here much better, and they have posted to let me know about other local events, thus the extremely long thread.
Which reminds me about why this thread exists in the first place:
Next THR SGVGC Shoot will be Sunday, July 23 at 12:30 pm.
I changed the time to 12:30 so Black Majik can have an extra half hour of sleep before getting to the range
.
Our armor plated swinging target is getting close to the end. Last time I shot it with my AR, I put a hole completely thru the center
. It's a small hole and the rest of the target still works, but it's time to retire that sucker with a bang, so to speak. I'm gonna try to destroy it with my Yugo Mauser, so you guys who have missed the last few shoots (you know who you are) try to make it and give me and BamBam-31 a hand.
