Finally, someone posting to the correct newsgroup.

az.firearms.training might be the best name, as
firearms_training is too long a component for some
newsservers.

I haven't been in az long enough to see the beginning
of the az.* heirarchy, but I would gues that posting
the information here, looking for comment, and if there
are no (or few) negative comments, then having your
favorite geek issue a "newgroup" for the group.

(Some have said "newsserver administrator" rather than
"geek", but it's not really necessary.  However, if you
can get a major arizona newsserver to issue the newgroup,
it's more likely to be accepted.)
