My vote is for sometime in January other than the second weekend!

Yes, please not the second weekend. That would conflict with the Edged Weapons Seminar.

Thank You.

That date is great with me. I am not for sure about a range. The only ones I have been to here have been in door ranges.

What area are we talking about? Lufkin? or is longtooth in lufkin?

One step completed. I have contacted Dallas IDPA and they have a range about 6 miles from Carlson1's church. They have a match on January 20. We are invited to shoot the match with them, giving Carlson1 and any other first timers coaching as we go. If we can't do that, we have permission to set up a couple of scenarios after their match.

I propose the first option.

Now that things are starting to jell, I need to know who from outside of DFW is interested in being part of this. Once I get a number, I can start working on hotel rates and transportation. Probably also ought to get an idea of who from DFW is interested in participating.

Looks like we have another Texas CHL Forum event in the works.

See what you started Charles...

I am not surprised that Dallas IDPA (DAPS) would step up to the plate on this one. It's a great club.

I would not miss it. Let me know if I can do anything to help. Take care.

Sounds like a great idea. I'd be interested in joining you with my arthritis disability.

If joining in a regularly scheduled match might present a problem conflicting or interfering with normal shooters, and more individual attention might be required, I could probably offer use of my pistol club range for a more smaller, personalized setting. Its in Carrollton not much further than the Elm Fork range. We hold several action style matches at our club close to but not IPSC or IDPA sanctioned so equipment would not be a problem.

Let me know if this would help.

This is the reason I asked the question about disability because I am not able to walk or stand for long periods of time. I don't think all of our people are very patient. I am sure no one minds you joining in.
