I was wrong, looks like it was 90 for 40, look like its 60 for the 250 rounds of 9 of remington UMC.

In a couple hours I'm going to have a informal safety/gun familiarity session with the kids (12&14). Any tips and suggestions to get the understanding of safety. Also a basic understanding of how the gun works. I want to keep it fun so it sticks. I have a few ideas but can always use more, almost an improve syllabus.

I want to drill it in their head this evening then ask random questions during the drive, followed by of course more at the range. I'd like to go a little further then the 4 rules. I'm also thinking of having them field strip them and put them back together.

I went out and tried to find a cheap 22 but had no luck, looks like the Xdm 40 may be the first hand gun they shoot. I'm planning on getting there around 830 central to get some time with fundamentals with them.

I should be there early (with Pink Father). I would be more than happy to do their first intro to firing if you are willing to let me "have at 'em." I have quite a few brand new shooters under my belt and I would make sure to have my usual teaching guns ... an airsoft prop gun for the initial handling instruction (semi-auto and guns in general), a revolver (no ammo) for trigger instruction, a Neos .22 for first shots and proving gun handling, finish with a revolver again for live fire trigger control and then a semi-auto. I'll take it to whatever level (1st) they can safely and comfortably handle and (2nd) you allow. Also, please understand that I do not adhere (or teach) what everyone refers to as the first rule ... discussion for another thread or PM. IF you are ok with that, I'm your guy ..... If not, you are still welcome to use my equipment as long as I can supervise their use (by the kids ... not you).

Let me know. If you were closer to St. John, we could get together tonight and have them ready to fire first thing in the morning.

Very cool, I'm actually heading to meet them at my cousins in crown point. I'm heading there around 530isg for the intro. If your willing to help out in the am that would be awesome.

It has been my feeling that Gander Mountain is seriously overpriced on their ammo, especially when compared to Walmart. Occasionally, Cabela's has a good sale but then you are comparing brands and quality. Check Walmart but keep in mind that they restrict ammo sales during certain hours (2200-0700 ???).

 

[Andy219]

I haven't checked out Walmart, but I need to. But today the prices didn't seem that bad at gander mountain.

Rifle racks

Here are some pics

Yes that is a ratchet strap on a dog condo.

This is the only "issue" I see.

Rifle Length ARs don't quite "fit" but as they say it's good enough for the girls I go with.

 

[lonehoosier]

So should I raise or lower the bottom piece. How is the gaps between the rifles?

 

[geronimojoe85]

Gaps look pretty good, I don't have bolt handles rubbing or anything.

If you made it shorter you'd interfere with the sight on mid leingth rifles, if you went higher you may run into problems with shorter guns not fitting.

(no "J" on the first wheel, otherwise someone would be the,owner come Saturday)

Why that glitter green!!!!!

That's what Jedi needs for his coffee can.

Hey now!

@Andy219/WD

I have a Ruger Mark III [.22] and a S&W .22 revolver if you just want to use that for the intro for the kids. Let me know and I'll add them to my "guns I'm taking". I was not planning on taking either one.

So should I raise or lower the bottom piece. How is the gaps between the rifles?

@Joe/Lone these are the units that are going to the meet tomorrow right?
So do you still need the extra 3 folding card tables?

Thanks for testing it out. I think we will just leave it the way it is.

 

[lonehoosier]

Yes joe is taking those to the M&S. I did not take the card tables over to joe.

 

[geronimojoe85]

Probably, these are fusil racks not pistole racks.

 

[jedi]

So Joe do we need the card tables? They are alresdy loaded in the van so they might just make the trip anyways.

 

[jedi]

Probably, these are fusil racks not pistole racks.

OK next time crack the whip on lone HARDER so we get us some pistol racks as well.

Yes ... please add those to the list. My Neos would work but the .22 revolver would be a HUGE plus.

I am really starting to hate you. -

Yes, if you can that'd great. What kind of 22 ammo, long rifle regular or magnum? I'll pick some up.

Don't sweat the ammo ... I'll have some. However, if you want to plink all day, it's not that much for a brick (550 rounds).

 

[actaeon277]

I'm bringing a couple thousand rounds of .22. No problem sharing it.

 

[Andy219]

Awesome, I don't think they'll use to much, depending on how they do I may move them up to the .40. Well we see how it goes, don't want to get to far ahead of myself.
