Austin Range Day and Meet and Greet

[kerryp]

Yeah, the SA meet was my first and I was concerned about being around a bunch of people I didn't know since I did not know how safe it would be, but everyone was very safe and concious of what they were doing....we all have the authority to speak up if we see something unsafe and should in order to keep everyone safe.

Robocop10mm,
I would love the chance to use a chrono. I have a tripod for my camera if that sky screen has the normal 1/4 threaded part on bottom.
I started reloading recently and would like to know bout how these are doing

Does anyone going tomorrow have a balckpowder weapon in .44 cal? If so can you bring the powder, caps, balls and kit for it so that i can try out my 1847? I have a large collection that i am bringing with me and will let you fire anything i have in exchange.

I guess I missed most of y'all. I could not get there until about 1:00, darn it. RetArmySgt.. nice to meet you however briefly.
Maybe next time.

Thanks to everyone that came out. We'll have to do it again.

The weather was perfect!

 

[RetArmySgt]

I would have stayed longer but those idiot kids trying to kill themselves ran me off. I'm a big 2A supporter but some people just shouldn't have guns.

That is what we call a self correcting problem.

LOL! I know exactly which ones you are talkin' about. Though he did let me fire his AK over on the other side. It was sweeeeet!

Well, OperatorChan needs to go to Tactical "How not to muzzle sweep your entire A-team" Class, and some of the kids on the rifle range were doing some stupid stuff.

Me thinks it's going to be C3A vest time for public ranges.

Forgot to add, Robocop needs to register those bear claws of his as destructive devices. That boy ate his cornbread when he was growing up.

 

[TXCleaver]

Glad y'all had a great time. I tried to get out there, but the little ones needed me at home. I had my heart set on meeting some of y'all, having a good time at the range and getting some BBQ. Oh well, wasn't meant to be. Maybe the good Lord was offering protection from the junior idiots! hahaha

 

[accumack]

I never get to go and have a good time on saturdays, i'm always scheduled for work no one can the day off (geeksquad). Maybe the few of us who can't make it on the weekend can have our own during the week maybe a thursday or friday.

Yeah. I saw him bend over his buddy as he was about to fire. I almost had a coronary! I beat feet back to the pistol range directly after

 

[RetArmySgt]

First time i had to say something to them they were trying to "teach" a young girl with them how to shoot a pistol on the rifle range. Using the gangster grip and hitting the dirt 10Ft in front of them. Then they pulled out a SVT-40 that i would have loved to relieve them of and started to shoot that with the firing hand rested on the upper lip and pushing up on the bottom of his nose, he closed his eyes for every shot and tryed to fire it as fast as he could. But then again this is the same idiot that tryed to tell me he can hit a silhouette target at 800yrds with that same rifle using iron sights. It was some little long haired fat white boy that didnt look more than 18 and he looked to be the oldest in his group. I offered to help him be a better and safe shooter but was told that he could out shoot anyone anywhere and that he was on "operator". So this Ret Army Sgt just walked away and loaded up my gear. Other than that it was a great meet and we need to do it again before i move back down to Houston.

For those that havent heard yet thanks to some BS shows about what its like to be a Spec Ops soldier the term "operator" is being used by kids and some of the older no nothings to mean someone that is special forces or 3 letter organization members.
