For fun, I shoot...My work takes me all over the US. For fun, I shoot Bullseye, aka Conventional Pistol. If I know a local club is having a shoot, I'll take my guns and join them.<br /><br />But more often, I have no information about the locals. So I ask at the stores and, if there's a group shooting Bullseye, I show up. And with only two exceptions, when I mention I shoot Bullseye, I'll have my choice of half a dozen or more fine handguns. (I got to shoot a Masaki-made 1911 once!)<br /><br />One exception was in the city of Chicago while the other was in New York state, both gun-unfriendly places.<br /><br />But in Massachusetts and what I expected to the contrary, I found lots of handgun shooters, some very active IPSC and IDPA groups, and even some Bullseye shooters ready to loan me anything I wanted to shoot.<br /><br />Back in Phoenix, I try to return the favor whenever I can.<br /><br />Nice people!Ed Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332424242231481277noreply@blogger.com
