I got there at 1030.
Nice and clear, but warm and muggy.
One of the fellas there had a chrono that got drenched in the downpour.
It stopped working, so I chronographed their ammo with my box.

Benches full by 1145, waiting list from start until we left at ~1300-1330.

Full house today; not sure what it's like now.

I went on Wednesday and I had a short wait.
I think it's the gun show effect.

Practicing pistol Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.
Look for the strange shooting bag. Stop by and introduce yourself.

Cattle Egrets are covered under the Migratory Bird Act. Killing one can carry a fine of up to $10,000 and include prison time. They are an invasive species, and there are permits issued for control work for public safety by Federal agencies.

Furthermore, because it is covered under federal law as a protected species, any killing whether intentional or accidental could trigger range closure for census to ensure human activity is not impeding on a natural habitat or nesting of these birds. That means the range shuts down completely for about 1-2 months while U.S. Fish & Wildlife conducts a census in conjunction with DLNR.

So heed the warnings of the RSOs. We want to avoid any additional negative PR in regards to the range or any shooting sports. Also, in regards to safety, part of the practice is knowing what is beyond the target. I'm amazed how many people become complacent to this and other safety rules.

I made it. Good to meet you oldfart, mahalos for you taking time out of your practice to provide me with some instruction/mentoring!!!

Good to see some of the HDF folks and the crew from SEC.

I learned more about the cattle egret from RO K9.

I didn't see my second favorite dentist...must have been hard at work.

The moral of the story today is if your revolver has an internal lock don't lock it if your not going to bring the key with you to the range...

Aloha and Mahalo to my fellow Veterans!

P.S. Thanks to gent to my left for letting me try your  CZ-75. Dunno if your on the forum or not.

Yeah. Dustoff is a great guy. Fast learner too. Only took a few minutes to get him into the black.
Some poor fella forgot the security key for his revolver. Good thing it wasn't an emergency.
All in all it was great day for shooting.
