g, thanks, that is very kind of you.. I live in Saratoga, but we do travel a lot.. As far as self defense, I am at the very bottom of the learning tree.. The only thing I have done in my life has been shoot a lot of ammo away.. I will see if I can get over the hill when the pass is open!!!!!
I don't know if you're a sporting clays shooter or not, however, Jon Kruger spends the summer at Brush Creek giving shotgun instructions. Kruger is to sporting clays what Rob Leatham is to USPSA. I usually go over there a couple times a month to shoot with him to get ready for the Colorado and Wyoming state NSCA shoots…..perhaps we can meet for dinner or something. It's 45 minutes from my place to Brush Creek so 60 minutes +/- to Saratoga. After the last two days, they may delay opening the pass!!
