    It sounds like we need a committee meeting over a beer and a bite Beaker. I think we should get together and elect a committee (that we are not members of but can influence strongly). Tommy should participate because I have him lined up for secretary. Ha ha ha ha

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Oh hell no I'd be a terrible secretary! There's always the opening on Friday, Rushy.. Could convene after at KKK pub or similar for beer and a burger?

    I was out yesterday getting some trigger time in at the Sunday match...it began to feel like old times. There is a huge amount of potential in that place. I just hope they widen the road down.

    You fellahs looked pretty flash Mufasa. I was the old geezer at the one o'clock induction that started back up the hill ahead of the rest but got to the top well behind the rest. Ha ha ha ha. I will look to getting out there this coming Satuday.

    I'm pretty sure that road is the temporary road until a 2 lane is built alongside 10-20m away or something? Ditto the club house, there's another bigger one (with all the mod cons) on the way at some stage in the not too distant future, probably when it's not pissing down.

    Buy out those Vipassana hippie muppets and turn their pad into accommodation / clubroom / bar / retail / gunsmithing facility.

    It's so far from the range you would need to run shuttle buses - that's the whole ridiculous thing about the protests.

    Stretch...I believe you need to attend one of those courses,to control that attitude.......lol,just joking mate!


    The technique of Vipassana meditation is a practical way to achieve peace of mind and live a happy, useful life. It is learned by attending a 10 day residential course with a qualified teacher where the student is free from distractions so that the reality within can be studied.

    It is the method taught by the Buddha to come out of suffering and is a non-sectarian teaching suitable to all people regardless of religion, gender, race or nationality.

    Before applying for a course a student should read and accept the code of discipline which explains what Vipassana is and is not, and what is expected of the student when attending a course, which is a serious undertaking.

    one other benefit of Vipassana is to learn to live ' in the now ' or the moment . . . gun fire works for most people to bring them to a sharp focus on reality in the present . . works for me.

    You'll have to take me along as a guest sometime in the future @Rushy

    Pistols aren't my strong point.
