PLEASE..come on out and shoot!

There is the intimidation factor, and I've felt it, esp. visiting a new range. We lose some newcomers to it, although my range has some of the friendliest, most helpful veterans you could meet. I learned a lot in a short time, and the're very kind when I humble myself on the firing line!

Shoot 9mm... you can buy factory reloads (fmj) at the gunshows for +- $80/1000 rds.

We shoot some very creative stages, many with concealment mandatory or optional. Some shooters game it up, but that's their choice and you can't totally eliminate it.

Bottom line: It's lots of fun, you learn a lot just by watching, and even more by doing. Don't forget your dryfire/holster work (unloaded!) at home in front of the TV or the cat ;-) Takes about 3000 repetitions to acquire muscle memory of a movement. It helps a lot.

If you're ever in SoCAL, check out The ISI range. www.isishootists.com
