All of the above, and more if you got it. No FA this time, please.Being a newb to these meet and greets, what things do ppl typically bring to these (e.g., pistols, rifles, full-auto, etc)?
Just be polite like you would with anyone else.I will be there but I am not going to play nice because some reporter lady and her husband are going to be there.
It's at Lone Star Gun Range in Lockhart. 1/5/2009 @ 11:00 AM.Post it when you have a date and time. I dont know where Lonestar is but if it is around austin I think I will be able to find it. We should make a good impression on here.
I don't know if I can make it or not, but someone please bring a couple of .22s (easy to shoot, not pocket pistols) for her to start off with.
It would also be a good idea for someone who is good at instructing to give her a one-on-one introduction to firearms safety (the four rules, range etiquette, safe conduct, and familiarity with the guns she will be trying out) before hitting the range proper. For someone with no exposure to guns, it would be a good idea to do this in a more private setting indoors, without firearms reports to distract her. I usually do this in a comfortable setting at home with new shooters before heading to the range.
Texas1911: perhaps you could talk to Matt and see if he is willing to let you use his classroom area, if it's not booked.
One-on-one instruction for her first bit of shooting would also be a good idea. Once she has become more comfortable, introductions could be made and she'd get to talk to everyone about whatever it is she wants to ask.
