Nov 2nd Hicksville photos, videos and talk

[Vaquero]

I want to thank everyone involved for making today an awesome event.
Elbe, Jeremy and Curtis for the time and work involved. Ben English for the chronograph setups. (I got some data to digest)
And everyone else for the good fellowship.

Worth every minute and penny I used today!

My favorite "blew that car in half" video. Big bang, lots of debris.

What an awesome day. You dude's with the big guns knocked it out of the park. I'll be prading .50 spent casings at work for several days. Thanks to rickslovebacon, I've got four more that my boys might shoot. That Neon looked more like swiss cheese than a car. The burned car was a plus. It didn't take us long to get everything picked up.

Did you get to see what the velocity was on your hand loads from the lever gun. I been curious about it.

I was hoping to give the guy a box of .308 to let LG have a turn on the M60 but I turned around and it was gone.


Maybe he will come back in the spring.

Around 950 average. I ran a few different loadings and was surprised at the consistency though the charges and powders differed slightly.

Was funny, one guy shooting at it for like damn near a minute. Kid next to me nails it offhand in two quick shots. Whos kid was that, hes a good shot and he aint afraid to brag about it lol.

Don't trust minivans. They might have one lurking in the back.

I did. Free. Dude didn't charge!

 

[Younggun]

Now I'm jealous.

Thanks to everyone who came out today. Once again, you all made it a great TGT range day. Special thanks to all the people who brought and cooked food, brought tannerite, to Glockster for the car, Texcross and LeeD (TGT forum owners) for providing free shirts/stickers, and the Hicks family. You all provide a lot of help to me behind the scenes to get this event organized. I appreciate you all.

Thank you all for cleaning up the pieces and contributing to the cost of the car.

The range owners told me they counted 60 total paid attendees with the TGT group. Best attendance yet!

That's the neighbor kid, Nathaniel. Second time he's ever fired guns. I'd like to take some credit, but I don't really teach him anything other than "keep your booger hook off the bang button" and "don't point that at me!"

We're all jealous of your .50. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I'll be sporting a couple of spent brass into work on Monday.

Awesome. I only counted about 50 for the neon blow-up.

 

[Elbe]

Is someone missing a crock pot? Someone left one and I was the last one there from TGT so I took it home instead of leaving it at the range. Contact me to make arrangements to get it back or wait till the Spring Hicksville meet for it.

 

[robertc1024]

I got mine. Vaquero's or txbikermans?

No problem, I always bring it so people will pretend to be my friend


Hopefully by the spring meet I can have some ammo stocked up again and avoid some of the hassle involved this time. Will also try to remember to bring my plates to shoot at, but really, the cars are more fun.



Really wish I could have stuck around all day.
