"Nace Bilby, you said? I'd heard we were gettin' a new instructor. Pleased to meetcha."
"Likewise, my friend." Nace said shaking the American's hand. He'd hears of Texas, where this gentleman clearly hailed from and was well aware of its reputation for crack shots. Although he was likely to claim the Boers of the South African Veldt could contest the claim, after the drubbing they gave the Crown at the dawn of the 20th century.

He heard the Israeli issue a challenge and said, "I'm certain someone amongst us knows how to operate it. I recall a shout of pull and then the shooter engages the target. And I shall be most willing to place a small wager on score."

The Russian agent accepted the American instructor's hand and gave a zealous handshake, almost all of his teeth visible in an enthusiastic smile.
"Eugene. Flight instructor."
"Evgeni Gavriilovich," the agent answered, before adding, "We're have similar name."

Within a few moments, the two were suddenly surrounded by an assembly of shooters. A jovial Israeli sauntered up to the two of them, followed shortly by a Brit carrying a piece at least twenty years older than the Russian's own firearm. Most intriguing to Evgeni, however, was the odd-hatted person with what seemed to be a distinctly foreign-American accent. He admired the man's fantastic, polished revolver.

This was turning into quite the gathering. The Israeli, @Mikal, quickly proposed a friendly competition.
"Anyone know how to play with these? We can have some fun, and whoever loses buys the first round."
Evgeni was no stranger to a party. And even though this party lacked any female participants so far, it still promised to be a great show. "Sure. We're take bets?"

Tex's smile got a bit wooden, but he kept it on.

"Well that sounds like a mighty fine idea you have there. I know how to work the ol' clay shooter without any fuss. I'll go ahead and fire 'em off, you boys go ahead and work out who's goin' first and what guns ya want. I'm not much a' one for bettin' on bullets. Cards are more my weakness."

He chuckled, and as a matter of habit patted his vest pocket, where he always kept a well-worn pack of cards. Leaning against a wall, he pulled a toothpick out of his other pocket and brought it up to his mouth, chewing on it slightly. He was hiding the fact that he was slightly tense poorly, but he kept smiling and stuck around to see what the others would decide.

When Jason West arrived at the range, he could faintly hear the sounds of rifles being fired over the roar of the engine in his Mustang. After parking the car, he got out and went to the trunk to retrieve his weapons for the day. This being his first time at this particular range, Jason was unsure of what distances and what calibers would be allowed on the range. After opening the trunk, He looked through the stacks of cases currently held in the trunk and finally settled on 3 weapons for the day.

After checking with the range staff and making sure his weapons would be allowed on the firing line, Jason stepped out and saw a small crowd of men that appeared to preparing for a competition of some sort. Jason decided he was going to the other end of the range to hit a few long range targets before moving in a little closer for some more close quarters. He laid the cases out on the bench and began to open them one by one. Jason's first weapon for the day was his Barrett 98B .338 Lapua Magnum which he placed on the ground and settled in behind it with a box of handloads.

"Hey, new guy!" Mikal called out to the blond man (@Jason West) who was shooting the M98B, "We're going to start shooting the clay pigeons. Want to join?"

Jason suddenly heard shout from the other end of the range. He looked to see a tall man, wearing what appeared to be an Israeli military hat. After hearing what the what he presumed to be Israeli was asking, he couldn't refuse. Jason replied, "Yeah! Give me a minute." He picked his rifle up, placed it back in its case and hurried down the range to meet these new people that he could only assume were ACME of some sort.

Once he reached the men, he reached out with a heavily tattooed arm and said "I'm Jason West, the new ACME programmer."

"Nace Bilby, I just arrived today myself and I'm also the new firearms instructor," Nace said, holding out his hand to the newcomer, "When did you get here?"

I got here yesterday morning. It was a short move for me as I was living in San Jose until yesterday. Jason surveyed the weapons each man had with them. He easily identified a .303 Enfield and a Mosin as well as what appeared to be a range rental 700LTR. The only gun he couldn't seem to place was what Jason referred to as a "Frankengun."

After taking a quick glance downrange, he noticed that the man who had the "Frankengun" seemed to be the most accurate and thought he would probably be his only competition for the clay shoot they were about to have.

"So for these clays, is any weapon fair game?" Jason asked, silently hoping they would say "Yes." Jason had a special weapon in mind if this was to be the case.

"I moved all the way from London, so I'm sort of awaiting all my furniture and the like, living out of a couple of my suitcases and sleeping on an air mattress until that is the case." Nace replied.

"So what's the deal with your weapon?" Nace replied, as he watched Jason taking the weaon from its case, "My own weapon is one soldiers of the Commonwealth carried into action for decades. The .303 Enfield No.4T was even converted to a 7.62 variant called the L42. My great grandfather and grandfather carried the .303 Enfield in both World Wars and I was first trained on such a rifle as a boy."

As Jason opened the smaller of the two rifle cases he had brought with him, he said "This is one of my favorite weapons. Its a GA Precision GAP-10 chambered in .308. It has an adjustable gas block and, is in my personal opinion, one of the best piston driven ARs on the market." Jason had waited almost 4 months for this rifle to be custom built to his specifications, one of which was a threaded barrel so he could easily attach a silencer.

After attaching the silencer for intimidation factor as well as the menacing looks that the weapon emanated, he quickly selected 2 magazines from the case and inserted one into the recessed mag-well.

With his usual flair, Jason asked "Who is ready to do this?"

"So for these clays, is any weapon fair game?"
"We plan on using the rented shotguns, yeah? But all is fair if you want to use them," Mikal replied. He know almost instantly that he was going to lose if he used his sniper rifle, and probably still if he used a shotgun. Neither were his speciality.

Either way, it seemed like a preferable way to spend the rest of his time, and he wanted to see the rest of ACME at work. Mikal turned to @Tex "Ace" Holdum who seemed to be manning the pigeon shooter, "Ready when you are."

"Does anyone mind if I alternate weapons to practice with multiple weapons?" Jason asked hoping that he could could change the Vortex scope he currently had mounted to the GAP-10 to the EOTech Holographic in the case and also use his Glock.

Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced.

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos).

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
