    There's just one more problem at our range and at others we have shot at.  We do not have cellular reception.  I guess that does put us in the 90s...the 1890s!  Saddle up and visit us for the real cowboy experience! :D

    You don’t need cellphone reception or Internet..

     

    Credit card reader interfaces to a smart device phone or pad) by Bluetooth.  After the match take the smart device home or wherever there is Internet to upload the payment information.

     The 'TNT' plunger is spring loaded, would have been fun if it had detonated a primer :) 


    This could be easily adapted to your ‘TNT’ detonator.

    This may be a problem for a lot of clubs accepting some online form of payment. Young people can't write a check and mail it? So they won't go to the shoot? If they want to go they'll do it. How lazy have we become? :o


    IMHO the majority aren’t lazy.  
     

    I religiously balance by check book every month since 1970.  I did progress a bit when I converted my check book to computer plus it was cheaper (:D) to print my own checks instead of buying them.  Times have changed and my ancient computer would no longer work with TurboTax, time for a new computer.  Check registry program was almost as old as dirt and wasn’t compatible with the new computer.  I asked the daughter what did she use.  She doesn’t have a checkbook!!!  She uses credit card for ALL purchases, CC rewards pays for the majority of their air flights and one monthly electronic payment pays off the CC.  
     

    Our congregation is younger ( yes I’m one of the old ones) and they don’t have cash or a check book.  Offerings went up when the Church enabled tithing by CC.

     

    I’ve come to the conclusion that no matter how hard us old timers fight it, things change and usually for the better.  We better adapt too or our time served in the nursing home will be really hard.

     

    A smart phone, a card reader and service from one of the online providers is all that is needed to take CC at the range.  That will remove one obstacle to prevent the continuing decline of participation at SASS matches.  Hmmm…perhaps SASS would be willing to be the CC middleman?  Extra revenue for SASS and grow for the local clubs.

    My son had 4 friends who were between 17-19 years old, none old enough to drink.  One in particular he hung out with often and wanted to go into business with.  
     

    evidently they thought it’d be a good idea to all drink and be out at 2:30 in the morning and all ride with the 17 year old girl.  
     

    she wrecked, one boy and girl are dead, my sons friend is in critical condition with brain bleed and multiple skull fractures and is on oxygen.  The driver has broken ribs and collar bone and will be charged.

     

     

     

    Stupid should hurt, makes for a better "Don't do that again" life lesson.

    This doesn't pass the smell test.

     

    Hotel is being strung up without telling their side of the story.  Could be the hotel attendant is scared of firearms and tells guests "no" without it being the hotel's policy.  You'll should have seen a hotel attendant when I asked if they offer a NRA discount :o

    Sad to admit, we don't have any stickers on our vehicles.  Not NRA. Not the SASS cowboy. No bumper stickers.  Not stick figures of wife, kids and dowg. 

     

    We don't travel overnight with guns often but have soft sided cases for our long guns that could be guitar cases. Handguns (in soft cases) pitched in with other travel items. We've staid in travel lodges where you about have to come through lobby. Knock on wood, we've never had a problem.  


    Me too.  I never thought to ask (;)) if a motel disallowed certain items.

    Sealant. 

    That one is GTG.

    That’s comforting to know.  So far I’m had four “non-green” primers out of 700.  Two I used and then started to wonder if those two would come back to bite me at an inopportune time.
