My first time at SPAG
I went to SPAG thursday for the first time and it was awsome. Great prices, great service, and an awsome range. I took my ruger p944 and put 100 rounds through her, not a single jam or malfunction. Kept almost everything COM except for 2 little strays in the targets' arms . Met a nice guy there named Chris who was firing his AK and pistol. I let him empty a mag from my ruger and he in turn let me shoot his handgun. I could almost feel a kinship while we were talking guns. It was one of the greatest expierences of my young life. Do any of you feel a kind of brother/sisterhood when you are around others who loves guns and shooting as much as you ???

OK, folks, it's official. He's hooked! Bruddah, that's what it's all about! Find an OC event near you and attend. You don't even have to take a gun, just go and eat a stale club sandwich and enjoy being with like minded people. Welcome to the fraternity.

Re: My first time at SPAG
I know what you mean Ruger. I'm 22, a few weeks ago I was at the range and met a Marine who enlisted in '66 and went to 'Nam. We ended up talking for a while about guns, war, politics, you name it. It was great. He was telling me about shooting M-14s and being issued the newer M-16A1s, going on patrols, really interesting stuff. Especially for me because I plan on joining the service within the next two years. I don't remember his name, but he was a really cool guy. Let me tell you, he didn't loose any of his legendary Marine Corps accuracy- he was shooting an M1A using iron sights; I saw his target at 100yrds... the bullseye was all but shot out.

I'm definatly hooked . So I think I'll be going every other week, which is payday lol. The comradery is something that I've never felt before and It makes me proud to own a firearm.

Re: My first time at SPAG
I sort of see your point but I have certainly "shared" at group shoots and even once or twice at the range.
Should a cigarette smoker always bring all of his cig butts home and shed them for fear that some criminal will plant one at a crime site to frame him? In the same vain the Starbucks customer should never leave her used cup behind. That DNA and the fingerprints can get you in a lot of trouble you know.
I am really just teasing but I thing that I will accept the risk of once in a while shooting someone else's firearm at the range or letting someone shot a mag full.

Re: My first time at SPAG
I had planned on throwing a few downrange tomorrow (6-15-08) around noon or so, but I just looked at their calendar and the range is closed. I was going every Sunday but never had much interest from anyone else, so now I go once in a while. Maybe next Sunday.
By the way, the name of the range is ...
