I want to thank everyone who commented and offered their sage wisdom on this subject. We are now kicking the idea around in our congregation about starting an official shooting club. Lots of things to consider and sort out, but we have faith... I also appreciated some of the funny, tongue in cheek comments. It is true that the pitch-in dinner is the most Holy of gatherings for United Methodists. I'll keep checking to see if anyone else has anything to contribute. Now I have to go find a forum about organizing a gun club...
