Finally, something new!

After much going back and forth about rescheduling - sorry Murph! - I finally got some solid range information and we finally decided to go ahead with February 7.

We'll be shooting at Bracken Rifle and Pistol Recreational Range in northeastern San Antonio, Texas. We're gonna go in when they open at 0900, as they get quite busy on Saturdays and do not take reservations. Depending on the number of guests at the final tally* I'll get a few pistol tables and rifle tables. They charge $3.50 per firearm, so y'all gonna have to pony up for your arsenals (I'll bring at least three guns myself). Tables and the first few targets are covered.

I recommend acquiring your ammunition beforehand. The range does offer ammo in the more common calibers, but if you're bringing out your Beretta 98 Inox, don't expect more than a grin if you go asking for 9x21 IMI. Last time I was out there, most of their ammo was Sellier & Bellot (which I am not fond of). They also have eyes and ears if you don't.

I have also found a great location for lodging with several choices. Because I don't want to advertise where folks will be staying, I won't be posting any further lodging details here; email me and I will let you know privately.

Murphy and I figured we'd see how the day progressed, and see if folks were interested in some sort of post-shooty-meal. I'll dig up the area eateries and see if I can't come up with a place with decent food and/or drink.

I'm going to bring out my AR for sure. My Mosin-Nagant will likely be coming out, as will my CZ-52, both if I can get the ammunition in time. (I can't believe no one stocks 7.62 Tokarev and 7.62x54R!) If not, then I'll probably bring the 92FS instead. Feel free to post up what you plan on bringing; build up the excitement!

Housekeeping note: if you see that someone's bringing a gun that you think you might take a particular liking to, it'd be awful courteous to be willing to throw in a box of ammo. We all know how 'spensive ammo is these days;)

I'll be posting up more often between now and then. Y'all keep the comments/emails coming, and don't forget to email me if you need overnight accomodations!

*I'm going to try to get a final head count, probably the Friday before the meet, so I can get a good number of tables. I'll be getting pistol and rifle lanes, so if you want shotgun let me know in advance!
