Welcome Gary, Thanks for your service! Welcome to CalGuns. You will find it a wealth of knowledge. Hope to see you at an upcoming event. Keep an eye on the Super Secret Zombie Shoot (SSZS) in the meet and shoot topic. It is a great event in the Barstow Desert.

[FMFdevildoc]

I'll definitely have to check out the zombie shoot event. Granted, I do poke some fun at the 'zombie hunters', I would still have to check that out!

- We all know that zombies aren't real, but it would be fun to shoot some notional zombie targets!!

[bikr4jc]

It's a great time. Not shooting zombies per-say. Firing line open 24/7, and zombie movies at night on the big screen. Even though last year no one had zombie movies. The person that brought them had to leave. So it should of been Mission Imposable Dora shoot..... But it was fun and looking forward to this year. I think last year was about 150+ people. And the Saturday pot luck was off the hook.

Zombies are real. They are the ones you see on faces of meth. Addicted to painkillers and carry marijuana cards.

BTW Semper Fi doc

^ ha ha ha!!! Classic!!

The closest I have ever witnessed to actual 'zombies' were the crack cocaine users in the inner city when I first became an EMT. Have you ever watched a crack addict digging through the trash for soda cans to recycle? Wow. Damn near walking dead.

Gary, you might also want to, if you have not already done so, visit the official welcome forum near the top of the page that lists the forums. You will receive a welcome from a lot more members, tho there is nothing wrong with your post here.

Welcome to Calguns and if you can make it to the Zombie shoot, you will have a lot of fun. I've worked with mrlonewolf and others to ensure that we all have a good and safe time at the event. It has gotten bigger each time, with not just members, but their families and friends attending. The Sat. night BBQ is a blast and so is the Mosin Nagant night shoot on Sat.

If you do a search here using the google search feature, you will see the pics posted from the last one.

^ Welcome Gary, I am over in the desert about 1 hour east of you in Yucca Valley. Try the Lucerne Valley Lions Club Outdoor Shooting Range. Super cheap and great people.

There is also the Apple Valley Gun Club.

That's where I shoot at most often. I'm new to this forum too, but I've been in Apple Valley over 20 years now. Moved up here from down the hill to escape the rat race but I think the rat race found us!
That thing in Barstow could prove to be fun and though I don't believe in zombies I often feel like one, and while I don't believe in Bigfoot I've seen some damn big feet! I guess it's all good.
Welcome Gary from a fellow Apple Valleyian, hope we get a chance to meet sometime.

Where's this "Meet And Shoot" topic?

Welcome Gary! I am also in Apple Valley. I go off Hodge rd once a week, usually with a group for testing and practice.

Always good to meet local people that share the interest.

Be careful at Hodge, a guy was killed there last year.

I too am in apple valley, just moved here from the san Fernando valley about 1 year ago. Get yourself down to the apple valley gun club right off the 15 fwy at the Stoddard wells exit.
