Hey All,

For this Month Only (September), we will be shooting on the FORTH Saturday 
(September 23rd) instead of our normal 3rd Saturday - Beau Legg will be 
putting this one on.  The Third Saturday just had too many things going on 
-- For those of you going to the NM State SASS Shoot in Magdelena, I wish 
you the best of luck and Have Fun!  For those of you who are not going to 
the state shoot, don't forget the LASC Gunshow, Saturday and Sunday at the 
old Pueblo School off Diamond Drive.

Fine Print stuff

Basic Rules: all bullets are only lead & under 1000 fps for pistol, 1400 
for rifle. This is because gas checks & jackets can ricochet off the steel 
targets, and faster bullets damage the targets. Regular lead slugs just 
splat harmlessly. The cowboy loads are round nose flat points, but 
semi-wadcutters usually work fine too. You don't want to put anything 
pointed (including round nose) in a lever gun tube magazine! For shotgun, 
any 7 1/2 or 8 target loads are ideal. There is no advantage to heavier 
loads or bigger shot, and again target damage & ricochet would become 
problems. No steel shot!!!!

You do need eye and ear protection even to watch in case there is some 
splatter & it's a club rule anyway. Come ready to shoot, we're pretty 
easygoing & will help you get started safely.
