They said he was found safe....whatever that means.

I was going to make a comment about sending him and the family a bill for the expense of hours of wasted manpower and helicopter time.
But I won't do that.

How easy is it to show up without a reservation and get a slot? I forgot to make a reservation but wanted to sight in my new glock and take my kid shooting.

Generally, the morning is packed. People tend to leave around noon.

Good to see Oldfart today, pistol side 🤙🤙
Thank you for helping my friend and his son with their shooting. You are a great teacher 👍
He never recognize me at first bc I dropped some weight. Now a lean, mean, magnum machine!
But I had to tap out early today bc my new model 29 and some Magtech ammo had some serious recoil. Hammer cut my hand so I called it a day after the blood started. That's ok. I'll live. Play with fire, get burned.

Good to see you too bro.
You could tell your friends, "yeah... this badazz 44 mag drew first blood"... :rofl:

Gotta teach the next gen!!!

The cloudy weather kept a lot of people away.

Nice revolver! :thumbsup:  Maybe I should get me a pair of Hogue grips.

Last time I was shooting old factory loads that I had for years.  Hot Winchester loads.  I cut the web of my palm from the recoil.  Oweeee.  The wooden factory grips that come with the 29 is nice and all but junk.
Sometimes you gotta know when to save your bullets.

Me too. Last week was shooting some pretty hot 240 grain ammo and cut the web of my hand. With the hogue grip it's a little better. But now I will reload at reduced power for this gun. Probably better for my hand and less stress on the gun too. Maybe some 180 grain LSWCHP at reduced power. 44 minus P ammo  ;)

How's the rifle side on Sundays in the afternoon time?  Wanted to take the wife and shoot some rounds, but forgot to make a reservation online.

Saw oldfart again yesterday  :shaka:
I was there with my friend and his son. Next time they will be enrolled in the Stangzilla pistol 101 class. We will go over basic safety and basics of pistol shooting. Get them more on target, safe handling of a pistol, just some basic stuff that should help them. I wont even bring my guns bc I want to devote my time to teach them correctly

The Stangzilla pistol 101 class will cover basic safety, stance, grip, and trigger squeeze. That should be plenty to digest for 1 day
After that, the Stangzilla revolver 101 class 🤠
I'm not a certified instructor. Just helping a friend  :shaka:
