I saw that too. I was disappointed because I don't get my HD Rem 870 out very often, and I should.jamisjockey wrote:Well, its sad to report that some yoohoos shot up the range with birdshot and now shotgun shooting is severely limited.
Had some problems with the repair on my shotgun. They took it back in and did it up right. I need to take some pictures asap.

Re: The arms room
Thanks Gerry. My wife was raised in Friendswood - a former "Wranglerette"Gyrogearhead wrote: If you would rather start out with something a little less competitive than IDPA you might want to visit the Sunday Shooting League at Best Shot Range in Friendswood. The league is primarily focused on learning safe gun handling in critical defensive situations. It meets every Sunday from 5 to 7 P.M. at Best Shot Range and the cost is $15.00 per person for the two hour session. Each session usually starts with 45 minutes to an hour of live fire gun handling drills in normal light or low light conditions, with and without flashlights. Then an hour to hour and a half is spent shooting one or two scenearios involving multiple targets with obsticals that require quick and accurate target identification and shooter movement through or around the obsticals. The emhasis is not on time but on shot placement and personal safety. Only one person at a time shoots a given scenario while the others observe and learn until their turn. There are usually around ten or twelve people attending on any given Sunday.
The experience level of the participants ranges from LEOs and CHL instructors to brand new gun owners like yourselves. Everybody learns from everyone else guided by our very capable instructor. For more info you can PM our instructor, fm2, on this board.

(I'm a former Yankee - got here as fast as I could... 
). I've already started the paperwork for my CHL, it still remains to be seen how my wife will feel handling a gun. It will probably be a few months before I help her choose one and she gives the range a whirl. We'll wait until then before we start her paperwork -if all goes well we'll take the course together. Then we can see about the kind of training you mentioned. I would certainly like to do it, but I'm hoping it's something that she and I can do together. We'll just have to see how things work out.- Sat Apr 09, 2011 10:06 pm

Re: The arms room
Another big thumbs up for The Arms Room.
My wife (the closet Socialist of all people
) had an incident a few months ago that convinced her she wanted a handgun for HD. I agreed on the condition that we would BOTH get one and get trained. I'm being the "fleet leader" and checking out locations and weapons. On the advice of this thread, checked out TAR (15 minutes from our home), let them sell me a SIG P229 (on friend's recommendation) and took two hours of instruction. Great experience, good intro to the range. Went back two days later on my own and put about 300 rounds through the paper. I plan to head there about twice a week for awhile.
Range has 15 lanes, RSO was attentive but discreet. Comfortable setup. Recommended for newbies like me. Wife and I are talking about getting CHLs. If so, we'll do it there.
