Austin Range Day and Meet and Greet

[Texas1911]

Do they know we are coming? Can we expect any sort of price break? As I have never been there, is there an area we can sit and talk/BBQ, etc. away from the shooting?

Plenty of room, and pricing is very reasonable. Matt, who runs the place, is a cool dude and let's us have fun.

For anyone that is new to pistols and/or wants some tips ... I'll be glad to help them.

For those that went to SA meet you know about the history im bringing out, for those that didnt ive got a collection you might want to look at when you get there. And just like at the SA meet anything i bring out (except the one pistol even i dont shoot) can be shot by anyone that asks.

I'm going to have my friend I'm bringing take you up on that. She already has her CHL, but she only just bought her first handgun this past weekend. I helped her out a bit with it, but she could really benefit from more professional instruction. Hell, I could benefit from more professional instruction

Let's plan on meeting at 9:00 AM at Lone Star.

Man, sometimes I don't even get up that early on weekdays I might be a little late to the party, but will be there for sure. Here's me and the girlfriend. Please say hi if you see us.

 

[RetArmySgt]

Looks like Texas 1911 is going to get swamped with pistol training, i can help take some of the load off it needed and i will also train with rifles if anyone is interested.

 

[TXCleaver]

As far as I can tell, I'll be there around 10:00. I like to take my son for breakfast on Saturdays and don't want to skip one.

Sounds like it's going to be a great time!!

 

[SIG_Fiend]

I will be there as well, but will have to leave around ~11:30-12pm or so. I'd be glad to instruct people with pistols as well, since that is my forte.

 

[soconor]

I will be there and bringing my son. He wants to shoot my .44 mag. Of course, so do I!!!

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Oops, I was wrong. I have to be at work at 11:30am, so I'll have to leave by 11am. If anyone wants pistol instruction, find me (Travis) early on since I'll only be there 2hrs.

 

[sig556]

I'll be there with a few friends.

Is anyone bringing a chrono?

 

[Burt Gummer]

Anybody have an approximate headcount for this shindig? What is the capacity of the range?

Kinda curious about attending but I don't want to be in a crowd of 150 strangers with guns.

 

[robocop10mm]

I can bring my chrono as long as no one shoots the sky screens. Is there an area they will let us set it up? I do not have a tripod for the skyscreens so they wil have to sit on a bench/table or something. I can bring a variety of guns for some to try out from a Walther G-22 to a .45-70 Guide Gun. Several .41's and .44's. AR's, AK's, HK-91, Saiga 12 ga if there is an area we can shoot shotgun.

I still thing stick on nametags with our screen names would help us recognize the fellow TGT members. Maybe a stack at the counter and some sort of info on TGT to introduce the non-forum members to us.

I'm 75% in. Only pop into the board every now and then, but it'd be nice to meet some other local gun guys. Should be there at 9am. May bring a buddy with me also.

I only just recently joined TGT but would be more than happy to meet everyone at the range. (Found out about TGT through a member that I met at the lonestar range)

I plan on getting some. Ray (DCortez) brought some out for the San Antonio meet and it helps considerably.

Isn't that how any trip to range is? Besides, we're not strangers... We're TGT comrades!

I suffer from occupational paranoia so I was just curious.
I usually don't go to busy ranges, I spend time at the department range...where the ammo is freeeeeeeee!

The last meet (in San Antonio) was about the nicest group of safe minded individuals I've ever been around. We had a great time there. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.
