Registration is now open for the California chapter's annual meeting in Morro Bay, CA from 26-28 April 2019. This year's Meet in the Middle will be a warm up event for our hosting the National meeting here in California, so we are taking the event up a notch or 2. We will be staying and dining at the Inn at Morro Bay. It's located in Morro Bay State Park on the shore of Morro Bay estuary. It's a really nice place to stay that your S.O. will approve of; should they be inclined to come along.
The shooting activities and the Chapter Meeting will be held at the San Luis Obispo Sportmen's association, a great facility in a beautiful spot on the central coast. Come join your old LGC pals and meet new friends at the highlight of the LGCCA's calendar. For info about the range: http://www.slosa.org/. Be prepared to have great day of shooting there.

UPDATE: We will be offering a clinic on the action range Friday April 26 2019. Details TBA, but last year was a 3-gun clinic with Amy Dillon. She is the education director for 3 Gun Nation and an experienced competitor. We had a great time last year and expect that this year will be at least as fun!
Friday 26 April:
