If possible, I would like to make it and supply some toys to shoot or maybe some training tips if some wanted, or act as a range safety officer or consultant. Right now my weekends are pretty much filled with classes I give, so I will have to see.

Now maybe a little off topic for you ladies. Last I year I and another put together a NRA clinic, Woman on Target, that we held at Key Cities Conservation Club. It is ladies only, only men alowed are instructors and we had 11 certified instructors with a wide range of experience. It is limited to 50 women, the fee we charged last year was $10, but I think this year it may have to increase. The fee included a light lunch and beverages, the ammunition to fire all the firearms which included shotguns at clay pigeons, semi-auto and revolvers at targets, bolt action and evil black rifles fired at steel and bowling pins, plus this year we plan to add an archery shoot at 3D targets. Door prizes which included some gift certificates to Scheels, free firearm training and also a membership to Key Cities Conservation Club among other things like hats and shirts.

The plan is for late August and I will try to post info here if any of you ladies are interested.

IT would appear to me that you've never been on an open range; gun etiquete when without a range safety officer is quite simple. "Cold Range"-ALL weapons down or in a direction that is safe while people are checking targets. "Hot Range"-ok to fire downrange.

Maybe I'm being too sensitive....but I don't care for the implication of an unsafe environment. I don't think anyone is planning on placing an apple on their head.

The reason I did not respond to your query concerning selling/trading is that I don't know you. I don't know where you obtained your sale items. And I certainly don't want any issues down the road.

I've known Cobb for over 35 years, GTDave for over 10 years. If we strike a deal I'm more than comfortable, someday I might have different thoughts concerning you....

There...befuddlement over.

You're probably right about "open range" shooting if that means walking in and/or paying at the door to shoot with others, most of whom you don't know, in an informal setting. I've never had a reason or the necessity to shoot in that sort of an environment.

While we don't all have the same political, religious or many other common views about life in general, we do all share one thing in common, the love of firearms and shooting them, whether it be for fun or competition.
