Scores are posted! Scores Thanks again to all our sponsors.

Unfortunetly our web master is stuck in a snow storm on travel. He promises to get them posted ASAP. Sorry about the delay. On the bright side, I want to thank all of the shooters and match staff who came to support our match, especially the Marines who came out to help set up on Friday, thanks guys! We had record attendance this year with 114 shooters registered and 110 showing up to shoot. Our Sponsors, including our forum host, Brian Enos! are a big part of that support and I would like to again thank them all. If you get a chance send them an email, drop by their web site, support the companies who support us, and you! Thanks again. We are still calculating the final $$$ for our donation but it looks like we will have over $10,000 to be donated to Toys For Tots this year!!!! That puts us among the top 40 or 50 companies in the nation to donate to their cause! (According to what I can tell from their web page.) Thanks so much! See you next year!

I have not posted here for some time but I have been shooting. Lorrie and I are just enjoying ourselves at the local matches. Anyway, one of the things I am doing in the mean time is trying to get better at Photography and I read the following blog post: http://strobist.blogspot.com/2008/01/our-p...-ourselves.html It really struck me how similar this can be to shooting. If you miss a "shot" whether in photo or shooting you have to be honest with yourself. You can do one of 2 things, either deny the fact that something went wrong OR figure out what went wrong (or right) and learn from it. David, the "strobist", says that long time pros have "surgically separated their egos from their photographs." Perhaps that too can be said about the worlds top shooters (Guns that is )? Ira

Focus there...not on the outcome, but on seeing the sights? Sometimes I think this is the true root of the problem. Focusing on the outcome of things is so often counter productive. Not just in shooting but in life. Focus on the things which will achieve your goal, and the goal will follow. Ira

Hey Thanks guys. I will be checking out all those web sites. Lorrie and I were not going to bring the IPSC stuff but after checking out Norco's page I am wondering. Do they require some sort of local holster qualification to come shoot with them, or would our USPSA classification card be good enough? I am B and Lorrie is C? Ira

I grew up in Upland Ca and am going home next week to visit the parents. I have a new M1 and Lorrie has a new shotgun we would like to take out and show off. But I did not get into guns until after I moved away from home so I don't know where to take my dad. I guess there is big club out in Norco? But I don't know any of the details. Do you guys have a public range? My dad mentioned that he thinks the range at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area (near the 605 & 210 interchange) has closed. Is that true? I guess that is where he has gone before. My dad is not a competition shooter so we are just looking for a trap range and riffle/pistol range. I plan to let him shoot my M1 .308, .45 & .22 pistol, and perhaps Lorries 20 guage and I know he has some .22 riffles he might like to take out. Thanks in advance, Ira
