RIP Joel, my heart goes out to his family.

FYI the laptop back light wasn't the issue, the brightness was just turned down on the screen...

I'm right near General nanosys off of 280 and University durring the week and will probably run down there tomorrow afternoon as well, is that close enough to Mpls for you?

Well as I stated in the firearms thread I don't really want to sell this stuff but have stuff going on thats more important right now so anything in the house that isn't nailed down or used regularly has to go.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a scheduling conflict...

I'm actually headed down there in a couple weekends and planned on inquiring about a range membership so that might work out swell. I guess this weekend she'll just have to deal with my instruction

Does anyone know of an online resource that has a basic how to for shooting clays? I can't get her out to the Oakdale newbie class as weekdays get difficult but would like to get my wife started shooting clays the 'correct' way instead of my way.

I carry a Blackhawk serpa as well but I am really fond of the new Safariland ALS (model 6377)that came out. Will be getting one soon.
