So SoundslikeJosh calls and wants to hit the range to show a buddy my P22 which is great because I want to try his Marlin 44. The scheduling was the most random, fraught with failure type but by 2:00 we found each other at the Martinsville sportsman's club blasting away.
But here's the great thing, when I got there another INGO member was already there and as we stayed more showed. BWFrame, IUGradstudent (& is boy), Me, SoundslikeJosh, and one more whose username escapes me were all there along with some guests. Sadly, not one of us was wearing our INGO hats, need to fix that next time.
Anyways, we had a blast with all sorts of guns and rifles. AR's, AK's, Marlin Levers, 10/22's, .17, Glocks, Sigs, P22, Revolvers (Josh's GF has a really nice Model 17!), and other stuff that I have completely forgotten.
Thank goodness for the brass on the tarp trick!
The only surprise was that there was more snow than I had expected and I wore the wrong boots. I need to get waders to leave in the trunk!
Cold, but well worth it. I had a ball.
Oh, and most of all, it was great to see a little guy at the range. Nothing better than seeing a kid learn while still young.
