I have really been wanting to go back to the range, but work has gotten me wrapped around an axle, so I’m stressing, and hoping to get out soon.
Many of the people here in Atlanta that I hang out with have expressed a desire to learn more about handguns, and as such, I’m going to share my knowledge and experience with them. Hopefully, very soon. I’m also going to look into what it takes to be a “licensed instructor” if there is such a thing in Georgia.
I’ll keep you posted.

While going to the range, I got to see “Mr. Bill”, a friend of a friend who just came back from throat cancer surgery. He is looking great! and it amazing spirits! “Mr. Bill”, it was great to see you again!
Also, I got to shoot Obiedon’s new 45/70, and now I HAVE to have one. It was way too cool, and wasn’t as bad as I expected.
I shot pretty well with my Kimber, but experienced three jams, that were completely my fault. My wrist was breaking too early, and too much reducing energy on the slide to eject the empty casing clearly. Oddly enough, it only occurred on the last round of the magazine. I think it had to do with the fact that I count my shots in my head, and knowing it was the last round, I simply lost focus on the last shot.
I will be going back to work on that issue, and hopefully can determine how to better prevent that from happening.
The 45/70 shot like a dream, and now I’m very excited by the proposition of owning own, and then going Elk Hunting with it.
I’ll keep you posted…

I’m writing this while working on a server, but I’m going to the range again today…. every other friday? Could it be a habit?
I can’t wait…
Going to shoot Obiedon’s new 45/70 Marlin, and I look forward to seeing this weapon and getting a chance to bruise my shoulder.
Of course, the Kimber, and some others will be going as well…
If you want to join us, come to American Classic Marksman on Peachtree Industrial in Duluth today at 3pm.

I had the honor of teaching a few of my colleagues to shoot on Friday afternoon. We took our lunch time, and spent it at the local range, American Classic Marksman ( 5305 Peachtree Industrial Blvd
Norcross, GA 30092), and I had the opportunity to share with two women the joy of handgun shooting. I was asked by others at my office to take some photos of the women shooting, and while I was doing so, captured an excellent image of the weapon in full recoil, and the ejected casing flying through the air…
I would like to say “Thanks” to the women who allowed me to share my hobby. I hope you both had a great time!
