Sounds like the hunter safety course I went to a few years ago to get my hunting license. 60% women looking to either start hunting, or use the course as the prerequisite class time for their handgun purchasing permit. Never saw more pink camo in one place in my entire life.

It's fun. Very non judgmental and excellent if you have never sat on a motorcycle before. The class time was somewhat pointless. My state offers it free so I'm going to sign up for BRC2 and maybe ARC if I ever get a bike

I had my local gun shop order me a Smith and Wesson M&P9 Pro Series 5. I want to get into run-n-gun shooting. After a load of research, I feel 9mm in production division will be the way to go. I'm excited for it. Next I'll be looking into belts/mag pouches/holsters. Then reloading equip.

And this will all still probably be cheaper than a "tourney level" paintball setup...

I would love to visit your neck of the woods one day. Mostly Gettysburg and the Smithsonian museums.

Firefighter in PG? What is he, a masochist? PG is soooo laughably underfunded compared to the surrounding counties that you kind of have to have some sort of self-loathing to work as a first responder there.

That said, apparently PG has a great shooting center. Trap, skeet, 5 stand, and sporting clays right next to Goddard Spaceflight Center.

Give me a heads up when you come down. This way again. It'd be fun to finally meet face to face. If you want to head south to visit Antietam or the Monocacy, we could meet you there, or we could drive to G'burg as well. Restaurant selection is better in Frederick and Hagerstown. Or we could even meet half-way in Westminster. Cool college town with some killer restaurants and pubs.

We didn't know we were going until last minute to be honest, and this was a 'test the water' trip for us as an entire familial unit- the last time we'd gone on vacation, our youngest hadn't even been born yet. Next year, we're planning on spending more time down there, and I have to get down to PG county to visit a friend of mine who's a firefighter down there....so we'll have to schedule a meet up for sure. Provided you're not out of town again. Smile

Got back from my first real vacation in four years. My wife and boys and I spent a few days on the Gettysburg battlefield, and I might be getting back into reenacting after three years out of it. My oldest son is starting to show a little interest, so we're going to feed it a little and see where it ends up.

My wife and I have officially retired; I had a seizure (epilepsy) Christmas 2014 and had 3 months off work and lots of time to reflect on how great life is. During this time my awesome dad passed away and it cemented how life can slip by so fast so we decided to bump up our plans.  It was tough as I had a great job in the oil-patch, employee owned and the best job I've ever had; my position was application engineer for the gas compression side of our company.  My wife also had a great job, however she loves the Island and the laid back pace of life there so she was game   We are moving to Vancouver Island which is truly a slice of heaven, and we are leaving Friday, we are renting a place on Kye Bay  - http://www.kyebay.com - for the rest of the month while we look for a place in Comox.  Happy Summer!

Edit - Post of my Dad, playing his 1959 Gibson J45; I have this guitar now.:

Got my 300 WSM zeroed at 100m yesterday.  Only took 20 shots and a very very sore shoulder.  At a mere 6.4 pounds before the scope, that thing kicks like a something that kicks really really hard.  I'll be investing in a recoil pad.
