I didn't make it out this morning how did everything turn out ?

[kyojin]

Was a blast. It was a little chilly though. About 7 degrees. Had a lot of fun though.

I think me and some friends are going to come out to the next one ..

[kyojin]

Great! The more the merrier. There is usually a round count associated with each match. I usually bring double that amount just to be on the safe side.

About how many people come to the matches?

[kyojin]

It ranges. I've seen as little as 40 people and as high as 100.

I tried to make it out this morning but my youngest child got sick last night so I figured i better stay home ..

[kyojin]

I hope your daughter is feeling better. It was a really fun match. A little cold at 11 degrees but it warmed up with the sun. Here are the results.

To all you lurkers out there. You should go give this a try. Me and my Bro in law went to one a few weeks ago in Santa Barbara CA just to watch, . We had never been. We were really intimidated,,,, until we saw some of the guys shoot

They talked us into shooting cuz newbees shoot for free. I got second and my bro got third. Believe me,,, We really aren't that good!!!! 25 guys ,6 were cops. None of the cops even broke the top ten.!

Don't be intimidated!!!! Nobody is THAT GOOD, It's not like anyone will criticize your shooting, this is all just good fun and will help your gun handling tremendously.

Simple fact: The more you pull the trigger the better you will get.

Just go with the idea you are gonna shoot and have fun. Believe me,,, you will.

Be safe first , then fast.
