What I did over the New Year’s Weekend

On Friday I shot guns. Gary and I went pistol shooting with Gary’s former college professor Tom G. and a nephew of Tom’s.

Gun range pictures always feature people’s backs, for safety reasons. That’s my back, I am firing a .22 target pistol. Shooting is a lot of fun, if you’ve never tried it I recommend you add it to your 2017 list of new things to do.

For New Year’s Eve we went to a friend’s home for dinner. They made really good BBQ, we are still feeling stuffed this morning. We got home around 10 pm which is late for us oldsters.

A video of actor Keanu Reeves shooting in what looks to be to be a 3 gun match. In these matches competitors shoot pistol, rifle, and shotgun. He’s really good at it, I am impressed. And it is nice to see a big name Hollywood actor who is pro-gun!

We spent Saturday at an IDPA pistol shooting match. Great fun, the best people, nice though chilly weather at the Prescott Action Shooters range in Wilhoit, Az.

On Saturday I helped run an IDPA regional shooting match at Prescott Action Shooters, the gun club Gary and I belong to. This is the first IDPA sanctioned match I’ve been to. We had just under 100 competitors on 8 squads. I was the squad safety officer for a squad of 11. My job was to collect and record the score for each shooter for 9 courses of fire, help the squad move through the match, and watch for any unsafe firearms handling. It turned out to be a lot of work, but it was enjoyable.

I got some photos, they are at this link on Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHskjqJMBX Come and see!

Shooting Guns at an IDPA Match

Saturday we went shooting in an IDPA match at the Prescott Action Shooters range in Wilhoit, Az. We do this almost every month, I don’t take photos too often because the all tend to look alike. It was hot in Wilhoit, but we had fun.

That’s me, laying on the ground firing a Glock 9mm at a target array. The target with the black hands on it is a “no shoot”.
