New Year's Eve shooting with friends

We just got back from shooting at SVRC with Jim and Jessica B. and Trinity D. and Garrett W., and Jim and Jessica's friend Shane. We were there from about 2-5pm; it started to get dark toward the end. I shot my Glock (34), Browning Buck Mark, Shane's Ruger 10/22 (with red dot—people had fun picking off cans, which of course were cleaned up at the end), and my AR-15 (using the steel-cased ammo I reserve for outdoors since my indoor range doesn't allow it). They've put up some orange metal clangers at the end of the range (about 178 yards) which I was able to hit consistently, although I had less luck with my paper targets at shorter range even, because they were body targets using lines which aren't very visible at distance. I'll keep those for pistol shooting in future and use targets with dark centers for rifle.
Since everyone we shot with has memberships at SVRC now, we hope to go more often with others. I'll probably also renew my WCA membership, although single only, not family: it's just economics—last year Honey went with me so few times that I would have saved just paying the extra for her whenever she came along. And they are offering a 10% discount since I was one of the original members when they first opened.
