Newberry Springs

[goodcitizendefense]

Anyone in the desert areas interested in practical shooting or ccw skills and drills training/practice?
I haven't found anyone to shoot with to help push me to get better.
All my friends just want to plink and I cannot get them to try and excel at shooting.
They roll their eyes when I pull out a timer...
Anyone with some ambition or willingness to push themselves?

Im pretty sure on this but i do hope incorrect. I think it is only legal to shoot shotguns in that area (Newberry Springs) east of the 15 and then only during the correct hunting season…. Im not sure about shooting on privet property. Dont really know…. And yup when ya break out a timer heads do roll. I still break it out though

"Open to shooting and open to Night Shooting"
Here in the silver valley, we have many private ranges as well as many legal BLM areas to shoot 24 hours.
Obviously all firearm saftey rules apply and being unsafe will never be tolerated.

I’m currently looking at NV monoculars so if I get one, I’d be down for night shooting

Very Cool.
NV or not, night shooting is an important skill. 1/3 of our life is lived in the dark.

Message me if you want to come out and run skills and drills with flashlights or NV.

That’s true. I’ve never been shooting that way. I’m in SCV and usually head up to Kern County. I have this spot that hardly anyone uses

Had a CAgunner come out to the range today.
As expected, shooting with someone competent has clearly exposed my weak shooting.
Something about the added pressure of just another shooter forces overconfirmation of the dot and all kinds of unconscious delays.

Despite my underwhelming performance, we both managed to work the drill times down significantly and really pushed until we were missing.
I appreciate the Pistol and PCC work today. Lots to do in dryfire...

Anyone else?
