Fun day at Gunsite

[Doheny]

Had a great day at Gunsite today. I volunteer on my church's safety team and one of our team members is a Gunsite instructor. He was able to get us a day of range time there. It's a great place if you guys get the chance to attend.

Congrats, sounds like a good day.


What did you learn?

A lot of it was reinforcement of skills for some of the newer guys. The shoot house was the most fun. Shooting from a vehicle was good training also, as well as clearing rooms while using live ammo (frang.)

Its on my bucket list and Gunsite fans might enjoy reading this article courtesy of The American Rifleman found on search engine Qwant.

"Mrs. Cooper celebrated her 99th birthday in May with family and friends at Gunsite’s “Revelation” classroom. Her final resting place is next to her husband—who preceded her in death in 2006—in a mausoleum at Gunsite Academy":.

I had the honor of meeting and talking with Jeff and Mrs Cooper in 1994 .
Friends visiting Gunsite might want to buy Col Coopers great books ,To Ride Shoot Straight and Tell the Truth and his later, Another Country.

Gunsight is about 2 hours from my home. Have yet to visit.

I attended back when Col. Cooper was still there. I am pretty sure he would not have taken well to your politics.

Neat place! I've been there for training a few times. Nice having it so close!

One guy does. He's pretty good with that thing.
