Who wants to go shooting? But there's a catch!

Since I've spend all my money on expensive firearms, 17 total, I can't afford to shoot them! So if you have some cash you can play with, I'm willing to bring some of my finer pieces from rifles, shotguns, and of course pistols. Anything from antqiue WWII rifles to the most modern rifles that our guys use, and none of the post ban crap either, all my stuff is registered as assault weapons.

So here's the deal: I provide a bunch of weapons and you buy ammo?

This is perfect for someone wanting to buy a handgun or rifle and wants to try a bunch out before buying. I have anywhere from a wide variety of glocks, springfield XDs, and a really nice springfield 1911 silverballer.


Glen Spen can vouch.


Who's in? And where?


Its best to buy ammo online from cheaperthendirt.com or aimsurplus if you guys go in together.


Hell, maybe some other guys wanna join me in instructing the newbs? Just gotta bring your guns and they bring ammo.


How's it gonna be?

Also, if you want to make a trip to walmart, here's the most common ammo I fire:


.45acp

.40S&W

9mm luger


and for rifles

5.56/.223 either or

.308 or 7x62NATO

7.62x54R

shotguns:

12guage


If we do rifles we have to go to chabot or some other outdoor range

I am going shooting this weekend and we are camping out at Panoche Hills So far about 10 people are signed up to go, it is free to enter the place. Only thing is which should be something any normal person should know is to pack out your garbage. Which means you brought it in, so you take it back with you. You are even supposed to pick up your spent casings as well.

Anyaways I am down for a i-club range day sometime soon. For those newcomers i have the perfect pistol to start off with. It is lot's of fun too seeing all those little holes on a paper target.

I would definitely be down. I missed out on the last one, and I could probably find some cash, as long as no one minds a newb!
