Confession time

I think that it's been a year since I've been shooting.  Not a year since I carried, or a year since I loaded the magazine, but still.

Probably need a shooting buddy.

You're a fellow Floridian, right? Whereabouts are you? I'm in the Daytona area.

I'd be up for some shooting. I've used Sandy Spring Gun Club, but Big Woods Goods in Woodstock is closer to me...

Borepatch said...

Erin, I'm in the Atlanta area. I'd love to meet up and shoot if I'm ever in the area.

Differ, Woodstock isn't all that far. Never been to Big Woods.

Same same over here for me BUT a new range will soon open up a scant 2 miles from my door.

That will remove all excuses for me.

I've been going more recently. Since I'm helping one of my instructor buddies teach the "NRA First Steps - Pistol" class, I hang around the range for an hour or so after class.

Now it only takes me ONE magazine to start hitting the black!

If I had not been to the range in a year, I would probably shoot myself in my own arse to get me going. I too surely have not been going as much as I used to go but I am motivated to go at least quarterly to keep my finger on the trigger at least a few times a year so as not to lose the skills. More though would be better, and now that I have quit my part time job, I have gone twice in the past week and plan on going again on Sunday.

Hey, you have all sorts of shooting buddies in the Dallas Area -- just have to get over here so we can go to the range.

I got spoiled a bit when I was young; we had a family cabin in the mountains where I could go shoot safely without paying range fees, putting up with other shooters, etc. I haven't been to an actual range since I got my hunter safety class completed when I was 12 years old. Unfortunately, it's now a six hour drive to get to my "private range", so I just don't shoot much. Plenty of ranges around, and shooters to hang out with around here, but I'm just not in the habit, and too cheap to pay to shoot somewhere.

I gone from nearly every week to once every 2-3 months. Still very hard to find ammo (MD) and money has been very tight. Went a few days ago with my .22 pistol, shot better than I expected, but need to go back, this time with a small screwdriver to adjust the sights (dammit, forgot again!).
