Well gentlemen, this weekend was full of guns, shooting, and cigars. I met a guy at my local range who invited me out to a 2-gun event on Saturday. I don't have an AR but he was gracious enough to lend me his.

We shot off ladders, climbed and shot from a mock roof, engaged steel and paper targets from cover...freaking amazing time.

Today I took my new 870 out to try shooting clay. I've never done it before so I was a little intimidated showing up alone. The guys there were super nice and told me all the rules and what to expect for 5-stand (singles and report pair).

My first round was an embarrassing 1 for 25 but they said that's to be expected. I decided to light up a good cigar, take my time, and managed 18 for 25 on round two! Man was that a lot of fun!!

I think I found my new favorite place to smoke cigars and shoot the sh*t (no pun intended) on weekends. I'm hooked!!

Congrats! Sounds like a good time was had! I just found a range that I'm dying to frequent. Sadly, it's on the other side of the country. Thankfully, I intend to move near there lol.

And did you mean 3-Gun, rather than 2?

Actually I think they called it a combat event. It was strictly rifle and handgun. I was hoping to get to use my shotgun but they didn't have any stages setup for that. Still a blast though!
Ah, that makes sense then. I was just confused by the name. Either way, sounds like a good time!

Stogies and Guns. The best. I go out to the range quite frequently and burn through at least 3 - 4 cigars as I burn through at least 200 .45 acp rounds.

I've been wanting to try my hand at a 3-gun event. A buddy of mine did one not long ago and said it was a blast.
