Given the interest in my last trip to the shooting range, I thought I'd extend an invite to blog readers who live in the Bay Area.   I'm getting a few folks together for a pre-holiday shoot-a-thon this Sunday, December 14, 3pm @ Jackson Arms in South San Francisco.   I'll be there with a couple of friends and would be happy if you'd like to meet up and unload a few rounds with us.

If you've never shot before, I can teach you the basics and, if enough newbies sign up, we could arrange for a more formal, newbie shooting safety class from the range.  Total price per head varies w/ the number of lanes, guns, and bullets we get but it typically boils down to about 1-2 hrs of time and $30 / head.

Drop me a note if you're interested and I'll know to look out for you.

On a somewhat related front, I'm happy to point out that the guys @ Jackson Arms support the Arts - last time we were there, they had this charming, hand-painted miniature in their display case:
