Wondering if you guys (and gals) can help me out here.
My Dad and I are looking to meet up somewhere for a vacation (he lives in AZ, I live in MI). He was thinking something like Hawaii or Central America, which sounds great. But those kind of trips get boring to me. Just sitting on the beach reading, going for a hike or two, swimming in the ocean, etc just don’t do it for me.
So I floated the idea of doing a “gun camp” and he likes the idea. But I don’t even know where to start. I did a google search and there are about a million of them out there. I’m hoping some of you have some insight into which ones are good, which are a waste of time, etc. And it would be a bonus to find one located near something else so we could get two vacations in one in.
I would like to do a school that revolved around precision rifle. I don’t have an aversion to doing some pistol stuff, but I do shoot USPSA so it would have to be some pretty exciting pistol schooling to make it worth the money. A carbine course would be pretty cool though.
I get plenty of time putting rounds down range, but it’s almost always at ranges where you can’t “run and gun”. As stupid as it sounds I would like to do something that leans more toward the “Tack-Ti-Cool” side of things, “dynamic shooting” or whatever the buzz word is for it.
We would have no problem doing a 4-5 day course. Or maybe a 2-3 day precision rifle course and a 2 day carbine course or something along those lines.
As far as location goes something just outside of Las Vegas sounds like a winner. But that is the least important part of the equation. I would rather not be in the middle of nowhere or down town Atlanta either though.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
