Title: Possible Range - DFW Area
Post by: scuzzy on August 23, 2017, 11:50:45 AM
Hey DFW area people - please see the email I've pasted below. This is just the first of several. Who is up to meeting with these people and possibly getting something going again in DFW? Also note - these ARE NOT the previous people from Quail Creek although related. I had expressed some concerns with problems we had previously and was assured that would not be the case this time.

PM me for details and let's get this going.

Here's the email:

I work for Quail Creek Shooting Range in Northlake TX.  Have been asked to gather information on the program.  Looking for information on starting or holding Appleseed shoots at our range.  Please let me know what the requirements are or who I need to talk to.

Scuzzy,
You or Ghostring need to talk with FloydF about this range. We used to shoot there, and I worked with Floyd up there on a shoot. I believe there was a reason we didn't continue shooting there.

Tim,

Thanks for your input on this. 

I volunteered to help out with this a little bit, since I live in North Texas and am relatively close to the range.

I've spoken with both Kirby and Floyd, and together we've identified some next steps and some things to watch out for.  We're going to start a little slow, because we don't want to cannibalize students or instructors from the Waco range and because there's a bit of a history with this range.  We'll give it the old Appleseed try, and see how it goes.

PM me if you're curious for more details, or we can catch up over coffee at the KD shoot next month.
