Please - for those of you new to the phrase - do not confuse this 'Camp Williams' with the actual military base located at the point of the mountain - just south of Salt Lake City. This 'Camp Williams' is an event- not a location.
About ten years ago I got together with my brother Todd and his buddy/business partner Gregg McKee and went out to the local range to shoot pistols. The next I know I am having calls and e-mails from Gregg about when I am going to hold 'Camp Williams 2' !!!
Last year we held 'Camp Williams 3' at the North Springs Range here near Price - focusing on the tactical use of the shotgun. Last year we invited more friends than Todd has - specifically Dr. David Nichols and some of his family, Dr. Travis Engar and his father Charlie, "uncle Charlie" Horn and Russell Williams.
This year we expect more visitors from Missouri - maybe by the time we are done we will be doing a re-creation of the Mountain Meadows Massacre!
We will return to the defensive use of the handgun this year with emphasis on close quarters and after dark / flashlight technique.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another great learning experience and of course the usual entertainment.

Thought that would bring a reply - - welcome to our blog
ReplyDeletePlease forward this site to Russ - I think he uses his phone and not his e-mail ??
ReplyDeleteWhat to expect next: Video clips from Camp W 2, an outline of plans for C.W. 4 and a link to the North Springs range website.
ReplyDeleteCharlie and Gregg were asking "what is the word on CW 4?"
ReplyDeleteThey will be glad to see the blog thing up. Good work CSW I will see to it that Russ gets hooked up on the blog.
I finally figured out how to do this blog thing with the help of Cousin Charley.
ReplyDeleteI have been preparing for CW IV for several months now. Like last year, I have scheduled my trip to Oregon in conjunction with the Utah trip.
I'm glad to hear we will be doing the defensive handgun exercises. I will be bringing my shotgun as well as my carbine, a Romanian built AK47 and hopefully we can do long gun exercises also.
I am looking forward to Utah in May. Hopefully the weather will be a bit more friendly to fair weather folks such as myself.
Be safe all and see ya in Price.
Gunny, How do I upload video and or pictures from CW III to the blog? Or should I email them to y ou and you can post them?
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the right upper corner - in blue it says "new post" . If you click on that it opens up a window which has icons for video and picture files etc.
ReplyDeleteNot sure but I think it may be set up so that only you can post pics and vids. I dont have the "new post" link in the upper right corner. Watch your email for a pic and a vid or two.
ReplyDeleteI'm still figuring this out. I think it will help us all get excited and meet some new shooters before we toe the line in May.
ReplyDeleteOur little pistol league has had enough participation that we have reached club status with the North Spring Range Management & we have paid for the year.This means we get monthly matches and two special events per year. Scott suggested CW be scheduled as our 1st special event - so we only will have the daily range fee.
I am probably going to ask for a contribution to the Castle Action Shooting League (CASL)from each of the CW participants - just to keep things fair & rolling.
Please each of you send me a pic of yourself and a short Bio, and I will post it for all the CW participants to review!
ReplyDeleteI think having CW IV a special event would be a great idea and I will be happy to contribute.
ReplyDeleteSending out an e-mail requesting final committment for CW 4 I need a firm list of who is coming !
