I’m getting ready to ride. I found some .45ACP and I can fit it in my saddle bags… I can’t bring much gun stuff on a bike, but the shooting is the least important thing for me. Funny that I should say that, no? I’ll bring what I can.
Saturday, at the Provo Range, the one up Squaw Peak in Provo Canyon, we’re having our Gathering. If you can, show up. We’ll be there in the morning, then take a break from noon till 4, then we’ll be back shooting unless something else really cool pops up and we change plans. You never know… so you best come out in the morning!
I’m looking forward to this a great deal. I can’t say how much.

I’m officially back into reloading
Owning another .44 Magnum means one thing is for certain. I am now officially back into reloading.
I’ll need to acquire all the hardware and components of course… but yeah… I’m a Reloader again. I can get an Omega 800 press for 23 bucks. A set of dies for 30 bucks. And that’s off to a pretty good start. Biggest thing though, is all the brass. And making sure I pick up brass.
Anyone want to trade .44 Mag brass for .308 brass?

Oh if I had the money…

The Utah Gathering and Training with Mas
On July 30th, at the Provo City Range (The one up the road to Squah Peak in Provo Canyon) Members of WeTheArmed.com and Friends will be gathering for a day of Shooting and Socializing. We will be shooting in the morning, then a break for lunch at a yet to be determined location, then back to the range for some more shooting. Every Member of WTA is Welcome to come on out.
Then in September, Crusader Weaponry was officially invited to attend the Ayoob Group’s MAG-40 Class in Salt Lake Sept 14-17. This course is hosted by The Gun Dudes, and in attendance will be Daniel Shaw of Gunfighter Caste. This is going to be an EPIC week of training. Crusader will be there to show off some of Crusader’s Wares, Slipstream, and to have an awesome time with awesome people.

Uprising: UK
It looks like Uprising: UK is going to come out to be about 300 pages. A much more manageable sized book. While I am going through and basically rewriting it, I am being careful to give it more atmosphere. Uprising: US was basically all about the action. UK is going to be more about the atmosphere and I want to give it more tension building up to the action and then make that action sudden and brutal.
Some scenes in U:UK were very tight, fast, and then we jumped ahead. Well, I want to make some of these scenes bigger. Such as when there was a downed aircraft and a missing character. That scene needs to be expanded. Then there is the death of a different character, and that should probably get more time as well. More visual, more detail, and make this story something more important than just an action/horror genre. Because while U:UK has zombies in it, it’s not really a zombie story. It takes a turn for the super natural… and I think it takes Uprising to a new, higher level.
The stories as written by the other Uprising authors, are being worked on… and when they are finished, these are going to be some works that you will not want to miss. In all honesty, they are some of the best writing I’ve ever read. And this makes me feel strange. I kinda think they have done a better job than I have done… I started this, created this Uprising Universe, and these are the guys that have taken it and run with it… Which makes me the George Lucas of Zombies. Neat. Now I need to grow a ridiculous mop of hair, a huge beard, and wear flannel. Okay, no… I wont go there. But this does make me think… who is my Jar-Jar? I think that would be Musket. Musket is my Jar-Jar.
The next books in the Uprising Series is going to be in Russia… and then to China where the Uprising was all started. But I don’t know how it all ends. We shall have to wait and see.
