Thanks,

Gents,

Please remove me from the waiting list.

While shooting in the cold rain isn't a problem, it looks like the Grapevine is going to be hard to cross if it gets towards freezing.

We'll catch y'all next time around.

Later,
Charles

I haven't seen you in a while buddy. Hope to see you when it starts getting warmer.

If anyone routinely goes through the grapevine for our shoots, PM me for my phone number, I live on the south side in Castaic, if you ever get stuck on the south side, I got a spare bedroom and/or a warm place to wait it out.

Mike,

Thanks for the heads up..I'll keep that in mind. Even if the weather doesn't catch me out, my 1990 Accord has 440K miles on it. It's been reliable, but as Murphy goes, would probably take a crapper on me over the pass!

I woke up this morning with a bad case of the flu. I apologize I will not be able to make it. I am also very contagious. Sorry for the late notice. I hope to see you next time.

If you have not read the first post in the last day or so, please check it out as there's lots more information there now.
Several people have dropped out which has moved people off the waiting list.

Weather is to be in the low to mid 40's and there's now only a 50% chance of rain.
Don't be suprised if there's snow on the ground when we arrive at 7:15 tomorrow morning...

Two pairs of socks and basketball shorts under my pants gotcha! I also just went to sportsmart and picked up some gloves. They're pretty cool/non tactical :lol:

They're liners but are pretty warm and don't have that extra fabric at the tip of the finger

For those that didn't go to this clinic. Should we send a rescue team? I am afraid the guys are frozen solid at Angeles.

GforceJunkie · Post by **GforceJunkie** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 3:26 pm

Other than cold, the weather was fine. No rain or snow, and a few hours of sun. Overall, a great day to shoot. My thanks to Seth and everyone who helped today.

PARKER · Post by **PARKER** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:06 pm

Today was AWESOME!!! I learned a lot! Thank you Seth definitely for helping me out today! I can't wait for the next class

DavidRSA · Post by **DavidRSA** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:42 pm

That was a really terrific day. I learnt a lot and could already feel an improvement in my prone position and in my trigger control. Plus the chicken was delicious. Thanks so much to Seth, Randall, and the rest of the crew for giving up their time. This is a great club and a great group of guys.

roypark · Post by **roypark** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:58 pm

Thanks for all the help guys. I definitely learned a lot. I realized how many things I was doing all wrong. It was challenging changing those bad habits and it felt awkward to do it right but I saw a marked improvement in consistency by the end of the day. Thanks again Seth, Randall, Keith, Kurtis, Charlie and Nathan. Lunch was awesome too.

Another thing I realized is, I'm to lazy to be a good historian for events. I knew John and Ho weren't coming, so I brought my camera and I took like 10 pictures. Hahaha. Thanks John and Ho for always taking such awesome pictures. I tried . . .

I'm even too lazy to make witty comments about the pictures.

264Charlie · Post by **264Charlie** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 5:50 pm

Firstly we had a very well done class from Seth. We are very lucky to have a guy with such vast knowledge in the club. Everyone in attendance looked very solid by the end of the day. Congratulations guys you are well on you way to winning matches.

...and let us not forget the cook. Lunch was killer.

See you all at the next one.

Even though I wasn't shooting I came away with a lot of helpful tips. These clinics are great.

Juice5610 · Post by **Juice5610** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 6:13 pm

If people start talking about these clinics we should see A LOT of new faces in the coming months and should have no problem getting the shirts sold lol. Clinic was great, instructors were great, chicken was great, Kurtis was so so :lol:

thanks to all that made it all possible. Your all class acts.

Looks and sounds like another fun event. I'm bummed because I can't attend these Saturday events. Being a Korean, I must work six days a week or face excommunication.

You more than tried. I think the pics look good. And you captured some of the tenor of the event. You got the pics of the targets:

It's always nice to see the targets.

These student-teacher interaction pics are always nice as well:

The most interesting pics are the pics that have people in them. Pics of guns and watches are fun to look at, but the people make the pic I think.

You got some shooting pics:

You even got some close-ups so that people could critique themselves after the session:

Good call on the food pic:

Always take pics of the food.

You pretty much covered it. Heck, you even snuck in a watch pic too:

That's pretty sweet for a rookie. You're coming along nicely.

One question for those who were there. Is this one of those Costco-sized bottles of Crown Royal or something in this pic?:

That's a pretty big bottle.

45user · Post by **45user** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 7:09 pm

I learned so much today! Thank you Seth, Keith, Randall, Curtis(?) and who I forgot your names already for running the firing line and teaching us!

Oh, the lunch was superb! 8-)

Thanks everyone for all your time, knowledge and the willingness to share it so freely. I only went as a viewer but I did sneak off and shoot the best group I ever have with my AR while trying out loading the bipod. Can't wait to try it with the bolt gun.

It was great to see lots of familiar faces and meet new peeps as well. See you guys at the next one.
