Hey guys,
During the S.C.C.C. meeting Dreamer and I had, we approached the idea of having a range day where ECU students can come out and shoot different guns (mostly 22LR, a little 45 and 9mm). As of right now, it's slated (not in stone though) for November 13.
We have logistics to take care of first (Dreamer said he'd call the range and see if we can't get a group discount, advertising on ECU campus about the range day, etc etc), but we would like it if other board members showed up as well. We're going to have a fairly aggressive advertisement scheme going for this, as the more students that show up, the better.
We're thinking that for those that are unarmed, let them shoot 22lR all they want, and let them try a magazine or two with pistol calibers. If they want to shoot more, than they can bring their own ammo. However, asking them to bring ammo is also tied into how much they'll be paying at the range (low range fee, bring ammo; high range fee, we'll share some).
This will be a great opportunity to branch out to the ECU crowd, and show them that shooting guns is actually quite fun, and see if we can go from there. It can also be used as an excuse for other OCDO members to show up so we can rag on each other about who's the better shot, and the more people that show up, the better. And since we'll have a range officer on sight, we'll be able to concentrate on helping people who are new to shooting.
While we won't be able to have the awesome course that Smith45ACP setup, we'll at least have a good amount of paper to shoot at, and there is a shotgun/skeet shooting area as well, so we can have our mini-competition again.
So write down on your calendars, get ammo ready, and come and have another day of fun out in Greenville
