It's a heck of a lot funnier now that you announced that you don't think it's funny. :)

I really don't underestand why all y'all are giving Curval such a hard time about this. He has to play by the rules of where he lives just like we do here. He seems to be looking forward to it. Geez! Give the guy a break!

Mark

P.S. Curv, would you please post some pics of you shooting with your pink shorts on?

:D

Probably just habit.
Have fun Curval.

I guess you are OK with raising questions about our country and guns but it's verboten to ask you about your country. Check. You might try looking at an earlier post I made in the thread, No probing questions included there.

mav points out the obvious... it is the fact that gun ownership is somehow something that is dangerous for "those people" but if you can afford it and get in with the "club" then it is ok..  special prviliges for special people...

I don't want to be part of your club... wouldn't want to... would rather shoot at cans at the dump with the other rednecks.

If you want to be a "gun guy" you don't do it by joining a club... you do it by supporting the right to keep and bear arms.

having said all that... I hope you have fun... I also hope you realize that all aspects of the gun sport are just as fun or...even more fun.... handgun shooting at dirt clods from various ranges... reloading your own ammo... firing 10 different handguns at a session... plinking at trash.   All of it at least as fun as putting holes in paper with a high powered rifle.

Well, I don't think I will be joining the club in any case.

The club is dedicated to competition shooting...not my bag.

curval... I bet you would have a blast shooting handguns at tin cans and such placed against a dirt bank.

Everyone does...

Won't they let you join even if you don't intend to compete or compete seriously? It seems that you should still be able to enjoy your own shooting even if the other folks in the club are serious competitors.

lol

Swoop is right...I can't hit squat with a handgun.  A rifle is a very different story though.  I have received and given intruction in that.

Mav, I think they probably would let me join but their emphasis is competitive stuff.  There is another club or two I will check out.

Storch, the power of an 8 year old's presentation extends to fellow students, teachers and parents.  No further.

Curval,

I hope you can find a club suited to the type of shooting you want to do. It can be a lot of fun. I enjoy the reloading, tuning of the gun and ammo I am going to run through it as much or maybe more than the shooting itself.

you should try competitive shooting, you might like it, nothing like a little pressure to steady your aim. :D
