Any ideas when you guys would like to get together? I'm thinking maybe do a lunch in the first week of February. I know Saturday's are usually the best for most people. We just need to find a time and place, so lets get some ideas going.

BTW: Jerry if you want you me and my buddy can get together for lunch if you would like, and we could always use anther range buddy. Just let me know.

Sounds like 901 place ;). I used to live there when I first moved down here. I'm only a mile away around the corner so I'd definitely be in for a local meet up and possibly handing out fliers.

Kevlar, PM sent.

Okay guys I'm suggesting the lunch meet up for Feb. the 5th at 12 p.m.
So far the OC friendly places are-
Cracker Barrel
Chick Fila
Starbucks
Firehouse subs
Arby's
Subway
bruggers bagel's

If you guys have any other ideas for places I'm open to suggestions. My first pick is Cracker Barrel, good service, OC friendly and reasonably priced. Let me know what you guys think.

So where does everyone go to shoot?
I'm in east charlotte.

I don't like firepower in matthews. I go when I really have the urge for killing paper, but that is maybe every 6 months to a year.

Are there any places in charlotte with a good indoor range, and possibly a long range area?
I have heard good thing about Shooters Express, but it is almost an hour from me.
I have never heard of Elite Training Academy.
Are there any clubs in the area?

I used to shoot once or twice a week when I was in Raleigh, and my yearly round count was about 15k. Now it is about 1k.
