I met Jeff at the range at noon today to fix his daughters laptop (was having some hardware issues) and basically just to "get out" and just hang out with a good friend. The ranges were heavily crowded today and the weather was absolutely beautiful!!! It was neat to meet Jeff's daughter and just talk about anything and everything.
What was most beneficial however in my opinion was when one of the shooters approached us, his name was Joe, and said to us, "You're with that AR15 club aren't you?" We chuckled and shook his hand. I immediately recognized him as a man we made room for in one of the shooting lanes when we had overcrowded the whole pavilion. He mentioned to us that when we had made room for him 2-months ago that he thought to himself, "Now what a great group of guys to do this for me."
That one experience left a lasting impression on him of the calibar of ppl that visit AR15.com and has even driven him to this site; probably even reading this post. If so, a big HELLO to you Joe and thank you for remembering who we are. Please by all means keep an eye on these boards for the next shoot. Come along and bring your sons. The more the merrier! Feel free to email me at anytime using the email address on my card I gave you.
This is just one of the many reasons why I so enjoy these Informal Shoots.
