Excellent, thanks man!

Thanks Johnsons - I won't be heading there this weekend but hopefully another. We're planning on doing a Houston getaway soon.

Thanks everyone for your hospitality. I've spent the day driving from Hutchinson, Kansas back down to Austin, Texas and it was great to read these replies when we stopped for gas. Normally on road trips my wife talks while I drive and imagine how much more fun the ride would be on a motorcycle instead. Well this time I was able to add to the two-wheeled daydream and think about shooting steel targets every time there was a cluster of signs.

Howdy Mr Wallace, I've been through your fair city 4 times in the past couple of weeks

Hey thanks for the tip, Don. I have actually been looking at the website for the Austin Rifle Club trying to find out if it's a good fit. Hopefully I'll get out there the last Sunday of July. Tim

Howdy folks, Recently I've developed an interest in shooting and have been to the range a handful of times trying out different guns, developing an affection for some but not others and realizing that shooting at the indoor range will get old fast. On the Aprilia forum I look at someone posted up a picture of his USPSA sidearm along with a video of himself going through the course at Area 59 and, all of a sudden, shooting became much more interesting. Of course I sent him a message and asked him all about it. This fellow, Hacxor, suggested I start out on this forum and look into the steel challenge. So that's what I'm doing. I'm taking a beginner's lesson next Friday at Red's range in Austin and will hopefully select a gun shortly after that. I really like the Walther PPQ and HK VP9 the most but those who know more suggest I start with a Glock 19. I suppose I'll do that and don't really know why I'm not excited about it. Probably the same reason I like Aprilia motorcycles more than Hondas. Who knows. Anyhow I'll be lurking around here trying to pick up on some good habits early on in my shooting career. I'd like to participate in a steel challenge as soon as possible because it looks like a barrel full of fun. I've read the guidelines but will surely ask some stupid questions here and there because...well, I really don't know much. Now I just have to update my signature with some advertising and inflammatory political rhetoric... Tim Powers
