Here are a couple pictures I pulled from the class brochure that me and my son took that show each of us practicing for Steel Safari. Neat terrain and only 90 miles from Amarillo. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/02/full-31762-379899-7f19e5a7_c85c_4378_94a2_f5bbf0a550c3.jpeg) Look close and you can see my fancy dope chart on my arm….painters tape  it worked but now I have a arm band thingie.

I’ve shot a couple handfuls of matches, but that doesn’t mean you should listen to me. You’ve been here long enough, you know who knows, and who’s full of chit. Shooting matches doesn’t mean you’re good. It means you’ve got entry fee, transportation, and the day off. LOL. That's kinda cruel, Gary. But I like it. Is it cruel if it applies to me as well? I've placed before with some pretty dang good shooters. I've also had equipment failure due to my own negligence knocking me out so early I still made it halfway across the metroplex to attend my daughter's soccer game. Me at a match is like a box of chocolates.

So's my lease. We have a lot of set up opportunities like these all over our lease. We've set up steel in a couple of spots and confirmed our dials. Using Tposts and hangers for our steel makes it portable and random. Playing only one golf course gets boring and predictable, same with the local range. What is the class you refer to?

I used to compete with Buzz to see who could get put out first, I’m good for 11 and out, but he started winning some rounds with that blue rifle he sold.  i know but never fear i'm still lurking in the shadows

Master class USPSA shooter here, 4-division steel challenge grandmaster. GSSF winner. Have shot my fair share of NRL22, and was a competitive shotgun shooter on the college circuit. Also do as much work on my guns as possible, and went on a building spree during COVID knocking out lots of builds of uzis, FALs, AKs, CETMEs, etc.

I shot 3-Gun, 2-Gun, PCC, Steel, Pistol and Shotgun matches for about 8 years. I wasn’t very good but had a lot of fun. I’ve ROd for most of the local ranges during minor monthly and yearly major matches. I haven’t shot a match in a few years. I don’t offer a lot of advice but if I do, don’t listen to me.

I've been in 17 competitions so I'm now an expert😎 I also won a chili cook off at work so I can probably win terlingua now.
I can teach fundamental pistol shooting pretty decently

Did I see $1100.00 for three days of instruction? Probably so now last year I think it was 950.00 but 20% off for signing up two at the time.

Looking at the qualifications of the instructor, the terrain and the three days of shooting that isnt bad at all.

Here is the brass we shot and that’s with one day of only shooting 22 RF working on drills. Highly recommend! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/02/full-31762-380031-b17134f3_76d7_4b23_bec5_b8b0c595ad9f.jpeg)
