-Excaliber and Andy have volunteered to work with people on grip, stance, and shooting technique during the help session. Anyone else who can help them? Anything different you can offer to help with?

-The help session is when we'll be shooting others' guns as well. Who has guns they'll allow others to shoot? If you have a gun others may shoot, do they have to have their own bullets or will you have a few (limit 2? 3? 5? per person) they can use with a suggested donation in the cup?

-Who has holsters and/or belts to show off? I'm thinking of setting these up at the end of the help session/beginning of the chat. Then we're all coming together, people can keep an eye on and talk about/help with their own holsters, and everyone has a chance to see the options. And then we're all together for the next activity, too. Input?

-Should we have a table where attendees can offer stuff for sale? Place business cards? That kind of thing? It would be set up for the end of the talk time as we transitioned into our own shooting.

-There was some difficulty last time with people running out of ammo because they didn't bring a sufficient amount to make it through the day. Will those with more experience please give a good guess on a suggested ammo count? Please break it up into a suggested number for each section (help section if you're getting shooting help, help section if you're primarily talking/shooting others' guns, shoot your own section, skeet time).

-What would you recommend people bring? Assume they don't know which end is the business end of the gun. They need a gun, ammo, range fee, eye and ear protection for everyone at the range (not just shooters) and will hopefully somehow be included in the head counts for the range and the restaurant before we go. What else?

Hoi Polloi wrote:Also, can I get some volunteers for the helping others part of the day?

-I know there is a request for help with basic grip, stance, and shooting techniques.

-I would like holster help yet again. If anyone has a bellyband that's on the smaller circumference side, I'd like to try that. (I've only been able to put my hands on ones that can go around me twice.) I don't think I'm going to like it, but I want to give it a whirl. Anyone who can bring holsters or offer a little holster help clinic would be greatly appreciated!

-Andy, do you want to do a skeet tutorial then or wait until after lunch?

Any opinions on the food?

We currently have the large open space of Mercado Juarez with its Mexican food or The Texas Bar and Grill which has an outdoor seating area along the banks of the mighty Las Colinas canal ala the San Antonio Riverwalk.
