Ladies and Gents-and you too, punk ass kid


WE HAVE A CAR!!!!

My neighbors are donating their mustang to the meet and Glockster has volunteered to transport it to and from the range.

Newcomer Advice:

1. If bringing tannerite, DO NOT mix it until on the range and close to the time of usage. It is illegal to transport mixed tannerite.
2. Have a plan to watch your stuff.
3. Take sunscreen/bug spray and basic first aid supplies.
4. Be safe handling firearms and if a fellow shooter calls you on something, don't get butt hurt, instead man up and change your behavior.
5. Cease fires/target change: This range does not have regularly scheduled cease fires/target change times. If going down range, stop and look first and let the others on the line know. This is mainly for the pistol area.
6. The 100 yard range will have posted RSO's all day.
7. If bringing a child/teen or new shooter as a guest then please take them under your wing and watch them and avoid accidents. The "paper target" area on the pistol range is probably a safer area for new shooters and those around them.

As always, date doesn't matter to me. My schedule is too fluid to schedule anything in advance.

If I am in town I will be there.

 

[GlockOwner]

Love when this thread starts! Count me in...don't care about the date

Gonna do my best. If I'm not on call, I'll be there.

 

[robertc1024]

Hell yeah. I want to shoot more of y'all's guns this time.

 

[rsayloriii]

I'm in and +2. Maybe just MAYBE I've got someone famous that might want to join us. So, sooner we get a date nailed down, the sooner I can talk to him and see if he can make it out. But then again, y'all might not want him out as he'll just show how much the rest of us suck.

 

[AngeliaH]

[Shotgun Jeremy]

We need a new black guy. Clark screws up all the stereotypes.

 

[RetArmySgt]

If my health keeps up the way is has been over the last month or if it improves more (fingers crossed) you can count me in for this one. Let me know when we pick a date so I can try to get an invite out to Colion Noir a little earlier this time.
