The Puuloa Club range events are coming up.  The rifle match on April 20 has been changed to a rifle practice on April 27th due to the easter holiday.  Club members, DOD employees, and military (incl dependents) are welcome to shoot.  If you are not in one of the categories mentioned, then PM me and I'll see if someone can sponsor you as a guest.  Practice will be held at the Puuloa Range, at Iriquois point in Ewa Beach.  You must help setup/break down the range (you have to stay the whole day).  You must reserve a spot by PM me or registering for the event at www.puuloa.com.

Puuloa Highpower Rifle is set for next Sunday.  Make sure to register at www.puuloa.com if you are attending or need a sponsor (if a civilian non-club member).

The pistol shoot went great yesterday with a dozen shooters shooting a mix of bullseye and combat shooting from the holster on silhouettes.  Daryl gave a short class on shooting techniques, which solved my tendency to shoot to the left.  Worked on accuracy drills.  Was a good cool day in Ewa.  Round count was around 175. 

Rifle range is a GO for tomorrow, shooting at the 200/300/600 yard lines.

For ammunition for 5.56 rifles, I suggest getting at least the 62 grain stuff to better hit the 600 yard targets.  Some mail order places to purchase is...
The CMP at www.odcmp.org for those qualified to purchase...about 54 cents a round shipped.
Heard good reviews for Romanian M855 equivelant ammo for 45 to 54 cents a round shipped at www.buygunsandammo.com.  Haven't tried it myself.

Of course match ammo is preferred but more expensive.
