Gunsite All Week

The convoy was something of a gaggle, and oddly full of two-lane state highways, but we made it on time with only one blown engine in the group. Really.



Lots of standing in the hot sun, getting instructed.



And hiding in the shade. Did I mention its hellishly hot? Like, we start actually shooting at 6 am?




Some people need more instruction than others. Well, actually, everyone gets lots of personal attention. Me at least as much as anyone. There are four instructors for the 17 in the class.




These are all off my camera (more people are taking photos, but I haven't seen them). Still, I made someone get a shot of me, to prove I actually showed up. This is pretty much what we do all day. Draw, shoot, reload, holster, repeat. Some cool shoot houses and an outdoor simulator today (yes, I shot the unarmed man) but they are all impact zone, so there's no way to get photos inside.

Vacation Infographic

Edit: This is being updated every day or two in order to show where we currently are, and what changes to the route or stops we're making.

I swear I didn't make this to show off. I am just so graphical I was having trouble making my trip plan entirely in words, or chart format. So, a chart-map:


Yeah, its small. See a version large enough to read the words or get the PDF version of the whole thing (original route only), with way too much info on my optimistic drive times and stuff [that means it not updated unlike the jpegs above].

The other reason its not to show off is no one cares what I do. This blog is read by what, zero people? Web 2.0 is all just an exercise in introspective self-satisfaction anyway.
