Congrats on upcoming grand daughter - Prayers that all goes well!

We might want to kick around some dates and times to see what works best for all. With my work and family schedule, I'm thinking Friday nights through the weekends works best. I think there a few other trouble makers around here we could round up as well.

Thank you very much. Other than grand babies I am retired and wide open

Hope to see you there sometime!

We might just have to organize ourselves a get-together there and all wear our Hawaiian shirts.

Now, if I could just practice drawing from the holster & shooting, I'd be in 7th heaven.

Guess, we'll have to settle for 6th Heaven. I started shooting there in 1964 when Tom Mixon ran it. I haven't been there since the late seventies, but it is still just as friendly as when he ran it. I think they still have the same target hangers; I don't know if that's possible. . We had to crank them by hand back then
I don't know who operates the range now but they continue the tradition. The interior has been upgraded of course but it felt like the same old place and very reasonable priced. I took my youngest daughter for her first shooting outing and the folks were so nice to her. She had a blast and I think we have a new shooting enthusiast among us. I would recommend Marksman for any family shooting forays. I have been to ranges where you felt they were doing you a favor letting you be in their presence.

Way back when we did have some interesting after hours shooting at Marksman and Tom gave us a lot of leeway testing loads and "stuff" . I do most of my shooting at PSC now but Marksman is close to me and convenient during inclement weather and I will definitely be back again. I shoot at Bullseye on Cedar Ridge in Duncanville when I visit my pldest daughter in Grand Prairie. They seem to be nice folks also.
