Hey Gang,
I'd like to give a huge shout out to oldfart for showing me how to shoot me pistol..
FYI, I am very new to shooting. I didn't know where KHSC is. Oldfart contacted me and he told me exactly what to bring to the range . Today, was the first time I visited KHSC. I owned at Glock since 10/14 but did not shoot it until today.
I met oldfart at the Gun Show. He was kind enough to offer a lesson on shooting for me.
I got a tour of KHSC and oldfart introduced me to some of his friends and the range officers. He taught me all the rules. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful I was very fortunate to rreceive one-on-one teaching from the master himself. By the way, he is a sharp shooter.
The five hours that we spent was very informative and enjoyable. Although, I'm not very accurate, I hope to keep improving.
Thank you oldfart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words.
I suppose the reason why I do this is because the shooting sports have been good for me and I see that it is time to give back.
Back in the day, my Grandfather and my Dad taught me to shoot a 22 rifle when I was 7 yrs old.
Later I shot smallbore in High School and then my Dad bought me a hunting shotgun, brand new for $125. see pic
After college, my high school buddies introduce me to pistols and reloading, and I've been hooked ever since.
So I have been fortunate to have had an easy introduction. But I still recall trying to master the centerfire pistol.
I would go to KHSC every Wednesday by myself and blow hundreds of rounds of 22, 38, 357 and 44. The target looked worse than a shotgun pattern.
It took months to figure out why I shot so poorly. Fortunately back then, the frames were made from welded rebar.
So if I can save a newbie several months of agony, then ...why not?
