Hello all. Another new member from South Indy (soon to be Greenwood, when I take possession of my new home on Friday) I used to shoot quite a bit in college and taught many people safe use of firearms who had never before touched them. I used to shoot IPSC competitions and put 10k rounds down range a year, excluding .22. Nothing takes away college stress after a final like taking down metal knock downs with some really hot .44 Mag rounds. We had a fully reloading setup at the gun club and I could use my own supplies to make ammo on the cheap.
I haven't been out to the range much at all since 2000. The most I smelled burned gun powder came from supervising the safe use of muzzle sealed prop guns firing blanks, for local independent films. (I was pleasantly surprised to see the high cap mags back in gun shops at a reasonable price when I picked up a Mossberg 500 to use in a shoot with blanks. That tells you how much I've not been "in" gun culture.) I let my CCW expire and kind of left the scene. My fiancee and I have talked about my experiences in college and the two times I was protected by having my Glock 22 along, without needing to fire. I recently told her about the new lifetime LTCH available and how I should apply for one. Her response made me love her more. "You think I should get one, in case the SHTF."
I can see some range time in the future. It is a little more expensive in rounds if both of us are shooting, but much less expensive in the "where do you think you are going?" category.
Recently, I've started looking at putting away supplies that could be helpful if we get into a SHTF scenario in this country. I personally believe that we are looking at a financial situation that is at least the inflationary levels that were seen in the 70's. A couple months of stored supplies only makes sense, if you have the room.
I'm still a Glock fan. They point right for me. Always go bang when you pull the trigger. I've dropped a opossum from 50 yards with one shot, lit up with a flashlight and using the trituim sights on my Glock 22. That is accurate enough for me.
If anyone know of good ranges in the Greenwood/Bargersville area or further south, I'm all ears.
