Had an interesting experience one weekend last fall with some "action shooters". My husband and I were driving back from San Diego and he, a competitive "Bullseye Shooter" wanted to check out the South Bay shooting range in Dulzura,CA, which happens to be right in the middle of one of the recent burned areas.

While all around the area there was devastation, the range survived. That Saturday morning, the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) was having an event. We watched for a while (they even gave us ear protectors) and we really got a kick out of the outfits (not to be confused with costumes, as we were sternly warned!) A lot of the men, along with a few women participating, looked to be retirement age . They were all really getting into the spirit amd having a lot of fun, but it was evident that they took this sport very seriously. My husband now wants to try this genre of shooting also!
