COLLEGE rifle coach ! COOL, must be a private school.

Nope, a small public college.

There are actually many college rifle teams at public universities.

For example, this year my team competed at Ole Miss, Memphis University, and Murray State.

There's also Ohio State, University of Kentucky, University of Nebraska, etc. etc.

Here are some links.

First, the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association Top 20.

And the NRA website for looking up collegiate shooting programs.

Hi, I'm Kevin (bulbboy - I sell lighting systems)- I'm from Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I've been carrying full time for 3 years, but have had my concealed carry permit for almost 12 years.  I mainly hang out at   www.okshooters.com   
An Oklahoma website for gun enthusiasts.  I found your podcasts recently and had to upgrade to a bigger iPod thanks to you!!  Thanks for having me!!

A big hello from the land of the rising sun! My name is Matthew and while I'm temporarly here in a little town outside of Nagoya, Japan I've been living in Georgia for about 8 years and will be returning in a few months. I've been a fan of Downrange and Shooting Gallery since I discovered them about a year ago. While I haven't been able to do much shooting since high school I'm eager to get back to doing it on a more regular basis. And to Michael, Marshal'ette and Marshal for doing all that you do domo arigatou gozaimasu!!

Ja ne (see you later)

Poor fella won't get much real shooting practice in Japan 

Welcome here, you can still "talk" about guns till you get back to Geogia, USA 

[Neon Knight Anubis]

Tell me about it Although I've been through longer dry spells before (four years in college will attest to that!) and I'll survive this one too.

And to Marshal'ette, I would love to teach you some phrases and since we just met its a good time for this:

 Hajimemashite. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu. (Basically, a formal way of saying I'm very pleased to meet you.)

O genki desu ka? (How are you?)

Genki desu. (I'm good)

[Teresa Heilevang]

  That's the best. Thanks~
 Now when Marshal throws the Norwegian stuff out I can counter act with Japanese. I'm sure I pronounce everything just perfect and sound truly authentic.
