I'll definitely be there. I even bought a Ruger 22/45 so my girlfriend can compete in her first match! I figured shooting rimfire from low ready in a steel match would be the best way to get her started.

Great!

It looks like it's going to be a fairly warm day.

See you there,

P..S. Don't forget to come early enough so she can do the new shooter check.

10-4. I'll already prepared her that she'll need to get up earlier than usual. We drive in from Louisville so its about an hour and a half to get to BGSL. It's definitely worth the trip!

Another great match! My girlfriend definitely had fun. Now she wants to start working towards competing in IDPA and USPSA. Guess that means I need to buy another pistol.
