Ask to be in the same squad, you can then help one another should more than 3 mags not be enough. Make sure the RO/scorer knows you are sharing mags so that you and your buddy do not shoot directly after one another.

Aha THAT dirt road. My first and only visit to Mapstone, I got lost looking for the range and tried to make up time by driving fast on the dirt road. I nearly did not make that 90deg turn. Be warned.

Did my first official shoot on Saturday....what an absolute blast

....the biggest course was 32 rounds so I was sorted for mags...

as the one dude said having a gun in your safe doesn't mean your going to effectively protect your family if you don't ever practice with it

Great, that's where I started my sport shooting career; back in 1977. I hope you have just as much fun and fulfillment as I had and still have!
