Wow we had a lot of fun!  This past weekend several of us got together just outside of Eagle Mountain to do a lot of shooting.  Most of us brought a son or two along so in all we had about 12 people there.  We spent 3 1/2 hours doing a lot of shooting and checking out different guns.  Here’s a qik movie that HumanCell shot at the end of the day when we were starting to load back up.
We’re hoping to do another one of these before the end of the month, probably the weekend after this one.  This weekend of course is the last gun show of the year - we my try to do a meet-up there.

The nice thing was that we had the whole place to ourselves - we could easily have 50 people come out there and have a great time!  Hopefully we’ll get a larger turn out next time, we’ll announce it more than a couple days ahead of time

We’re planning a big Geeks-n-Guns shootout tomorrow! We’ve got several things lined up - we’ll have lots of Tannerite, a BMG .50, at least one AR-30 and several AR-15, AKs and others. Plan to be courteous and pay about $4/bullet for the bigger guns, about $5/bottle of tannerite. Bring your own guns and ammo as well!

We’ll be meeting in the north-west most corner of the Saratoga Springs, Smiths parking lot and going from there to the range. Meeting time is 10:00 sharp - we plan to roll out at 10:05 to the range. Several of us will have our younger sons with us so NO HORSEPLAY! (have to show the future shooters of America how to be responsible).

Bring your paintball gear too if you want, we might just go into paintball mode if there are enough people.

There are two Appleseed events coming up for Utah.  Nephi on April 19th, and Cedar City May 17th.

For those not familiar, check out the site.  Appleseed events are a great chance to really learn how to use a rifle, and meet with other people who can help improve your skills.  Post up if you are interested in attending an event.

I am one of those people who has long meant to get his CCW, but until now has never found the time. However I am determined to remedy that. There are many people that advertise group CCW course rates, and a few friends and I have been planning on setting up a one. What other local geeks would be interested in this, and do you have an instructor that you prefer?

On the KSL ads, I often see rates around $25 per person, including fingerprinting and all paperwork.

Let’s do our first get together soon after the 1st of Feb - then everyone will have some money (hopefully) to afford it! :) 

Due to the weather, I like to go shooting at RangeMasters in Springville instead of standing in 5 feet of snow.  They have guns for rent and have a huge selection of handguns, machine guns and a 50 cal pistol!  Here’s the details on their rates and stuff.

Who’s in?

This here is the first post.  If you want to attend GeeksNGuns get togethers, comment on this post and subscribe to the feed! 

We’ll be getting geeks together to go out and shoot guns and blow stuff up (anyone have an explosives license?)

I think Jayce Hall and I came up with this name at the same time, he may even have used it before but I’m not sure.  He, Lars Rasmussen, Thom Allen, Scott Lemon and Ash Buckles are the ones that drove me away from my concentration and in typical ADD style, make a whole friggin website about getting together to go shoot.  Sheesh. 

Anyway, subscribe to the feed, then it’ll be easy to tell you when we go shoot.
