We wanted to post early the May 2012 events, and classes; on May 7^th through the 12^th we will be in Wyoming hitting the books and taking classes. We will be back May 13; you can call and leave a message, we will be monitoring our phones messages and e-mails constantly while we are away and will reply  either by phone or e-mail. Our nephew James will be minding the store so rest assured he will be receiving packages and calling you if you have a package come into the store.

May 19 will be teaching a NRA basic pistol class at the store the address is 6225 McCandlish Rd; seating is limited so call 719-683-2117 or e-mail wildfire223@juno.com no later than 5-16-2012 Wednesday as we will need to know before class to guarantee a space and materials for you. The class starts promptly at 9:00 AM and usually runs 4 to 6 hours depending on questions. This is a hands on class, students will be examining ammunition and firearms, be sure to inform me if you will be bringing your own firearm or if you will need to borrow one for the class, students will also need to bring a box of ammo.

May 26 is a new Tanner Gun show in Loveland CO; I will have an address up-date later.

As always if you have any questions please contact us, we would love to hear from you.

1. MARCH Up-Date for Rick & Kathy

As many of you are probably aware the annual Cheyenne Wells machine gun shoot was canceled and never took place in 2011 we were so disappointed. If we hear of a machine gun shoot in 2012 we will be placing it here on our site.

Not that long ago important knowledge was passed from the old generations to the new, food preparations, hunting, fishing, values, trust, honor and your name is only as good as your word is a favorite of mine.

Knowledge in reloading was one of the treasures that was passed down and is all but lost to this generation, and I dare state the next generation will not even know the term.

Several years ago everyone was hard pressed looking for ammo, varying calibers were almost nonexistent. Many people realized that without ammo their firearm was only a good club. Quickly the ammo disappeared from retailer’s shelves and most retailers had a hard time replenishing the small supply of ammo, if they could order it at all from their distributor it was limited and the cost kept escalating.

There were two types of people who had ammo at this time, those who were well supplied and those who reproduced and reloaded their own ammo. Although most avid shooters were alarmed and shocked by the shortage of ammo, many without ammo, vowed they would not be deceived again. However, as with all things time passes, the ammo returned and all is well with the world.

I think, why not have it both ways, knowledge and experience to reload as well as a good supply.

Rick and I are NRA instructors for reloading, we also have reloading benches set up for people who want to reload but for whatever reason can’t do it at their residence. Many people learn how to reload on their own, or are blessed to have a tutor. It makes sense people want to become knowledgeable, self reliant, prepared for any problem or emergency.  We have many books on reloading and offer classes as well. If you get stumped or have a question, bring it to us and we will work on it together.

Contact us if you are interested in either personal protection or reloading classes.

A lack of ammo in America, could it happen again?

3. Machine Gun Shoots – Ammo Cans

As many of you know the machine gun shoot that was to be held close to Fort Morgan this fall has been canceled. A new location is being sought at this time by the Rocky Mountain Shooting Association. (If you see them at a gun show stop by and talk to them maybe even join or volunteer to pass out information.) There have been 1 location tossed out that I know of in the Kiowa area, but this is just rumor with no backing that I have been able to find.

If you know of someone who has several hundred thousand acres that we can shoot on let me know.

We will be closing at 3:30 PM on the September 15, 2009 to go to a meeting where we hope to find out more.

As a closing note we just picked up 1000 50 cal ammo cans. The ones that we have looked at so far have been in excellent shape with little to no rust, good seals on the lids. We have not washed them up yet (yeah they are dirty) cost is $6.00 each. Remember Wildfire Learning Institute members get a discount.

Hunting season is upon us Kathy and I are looking forward to some Antelope this fall. yum yum
