    We (FWAPS) host a very informal drill session on Thursday nights. Come on out tonight and check out the range. Bring your gear and about 100 rounds if you want to do some shooting. Address and map to the range are on the website posted a couple posts up.

    The May USPSA match is the 20th this month. Registration starts at 9, shooters meeting at 9:45, shooting around 10. $15 to shoot, $10 if you belong to FWRR.

    The IDPA people shoot on the First Saturday of each month. Not sure if its true IDPA ot just IDPA stlye (never shot any).

    This is something I would like to get involved in also. We'll see if the misses will let me get away. What time do you meet on Thursdays?? Won't be able to do the match this month, but June is a very good possibility. :D

    Thursday nights get started about 5:30. You can drift in a little later if need be. We usually finish up around 7-7:30, but you can always leave early if you have commitments. Like I said, VERY informal.
