Name: Chris Wilson

Location: North of Ft. Sill in the Elgin School District

Range: Family Farm - Use to shoot at Ft. Sills Range but its been closed for awhile now. (Not sure where they shoot on post anymore don't go there much since I retired)

Experience: Retired Infantryman, 22yrs

Interest: Hunting, Blackpowder shooting an crafts, Flyfishing an riding my motorsicle (when its not in triple digits) Not into the training or any of that anymore obviously, I just like to shoot, busting some caps!!!

New here.
My name is Adam

Location: Shawnee

Range: Non- member but I shoot mainly at Thunderbird range and occasionally at H&H (I don't really like indoor)

Experience: No formal Training other than basic safety and CCW but I am desperately trying to change that. As funds allow and location of courses work for me logistically I'd like to take some carbine classes, long range classes and pistol classes. Maybe after I get some skills 3 gun competitions. I have a friend in law enforcement who has taught me some basics of moving and shooting but I will readily admit that I need more structured training.

Interest: Being prepared. I've lived in some bad places and as a direct result of that I want to be as sharp as I can for my family. Also I am a musician. I play in a few local OKC bands and do the occasional studio work for artists ranging from metal to country to anything in between if it doesn't suck

Don't wait to start shooting 3 gun. You will regret not getting into it sooner. If you need any guns or gear to get started let me know I have 2-3 of everything. In fact I had 6 or 7 guys running my Accurate Iron Benelli shotguns and 3 guys using my Stag Arms Model 3G rifles at the last match. You should also join us over in BoomerShooter.com for all the local match announcements, scores and training info.

Hope to see u at the next match.

Hi fellas

Don Schmidt from Mustang

I use H&H and Banner Raod ranges b/c thats all I have access to.

My training consists of what I received as a member USMC

Am trying to save up funds and ammo to begin attending training classes. I love to train, but due to the range restrictions can't really do it the way it needs to be done.

Hello fellas. Checking in from Elk City in far western Oklahoma. I don't have any formal training. I learned most of what I know from my best friend of 25 years who is former USMC. We don't have any ranges to speak of around here. The closest is 45 minutes in Weatherford at Tin Star. My buddy's family has a large chunk of land and that's where you'll find us most of the time. I'd consider myself pretty proficient with the AR platform. I've built a few over the years. My newest interest is NFA stuff (suppressors and SBR, can't afford MG's). I have been Elk City's head of code enforcement for 7 years. I do inspections for any building, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical work in our jurisdiction. If you guys do your own plumbing and have questions, I'm your man. I was a journeyman plumber for 12 years prior to coming on as the code official (hence the name "poopile"... )

Greetings. I'm not exactly a regular on M4C but I was encouraged to check out this area of the board.

Location: I am in the south side of Norman.

Range: I do not yet have access to a range in the area.

Experience: Low to moderate. I've taken two carbine courses and a pistol course from EAG and another pistol course from USSA. Additionally I took a diagnostic AR operator class from Dean Caputo. I also work at a range that's out of state.


I would be up for anything, I really need to find a place to shoot outside and do some movement drills. Doing drills with other folks against a time standard of some sort would be great as well.

Come shoot a match with us. It's a full day of drills.

I'm forwarding a message from Mike Seeklanderat USSA:

Hey everyone- We just returned from a trip to visit John, and I am glad to say he is in high spirits, while yet in tremendous pain. John has multiple fractures in both legs, and a shattered pelvis. He has been through 2 surgery's and will endure several more over the coming weeks. Here is some additional information:

John is in St. Francis hospital off Yale. He welcomes all visitors, but please text or call before visiting. John is currently without insurance. While I am sure the person responsible (he was hit by a Broken Arrow school bus) will end up helping with his expenses, in the interim John will be without work for a long time. I am personally asking each of you to consider giving cash or whatever you can to help him through this tough time.
There is a webpage

http://www.usshootingacademy.com/content.aspx?id=174

built for John on USSA's site that has donation options. You can find a link on it to donate through paypal.
Checks or cash can be given to me (Mike Seeklander) at USSA.
Donation's may also be given at the USSA Pro-Shop via cash, check, or credit card.
Please help spread word about John and the opportunity to donate on your facebook pages (just send them to USSA's site) and with your friends and family.

John is a tough guy and will surely recover strongly, but at this time we need to pool our resources and help him through. He is the kind of guy that would be there and go above and beyond for each of us if needed, so lets do the same for him!

Pray for a strong recovery!

Until Then, Train Hard!
