    Is there a cost to come hang out and just observe the festivities? I'd like to bring my oldest son and let him see some of the fun. Don't really have enough of a collection to warrant participation myself. Lmk thanks.

    $100 each to everyone else there OR . . join in the fun ;) You don't have to bring the biggest, baddest, or most guns. Just come out, meet people and enjoy.

    Is your son old enough to shoot safely? If so, my guess is he'd be disappointed if he couldn't play too.

    At the very least, buy the boy a range fee.
    We've got guns and ammo to spare and share.
    Don't miss out.

    It's free if you're just coming out to shoot the shit. If you think you're gonna shoot, you should go ahead and step in the office to pay in. It'll run ya $15 all day, as many guns as you'd like to shoot. The staff get a little antsy when they have big groups when it comes to watching for people shooting without paying. Even though on a normal day, they may let you get by with just running a test mag for free or even trying one or two guns out....it's harder to keep up with who's doing what with big groups. So if you're on the line, they'll be looking to see that you paid.

    Your collection size doesn't matter. Hell, my fiance went to her first meet with only one gun.

    I go to the meets with plenty of guns and may only shoot one.

    I'd say pay the entry even if you don't bring a gun. I'll let you shoot something, or someone else will.

    Watch the thread for what folks are bringing. You'll see the variety and the willingness to share.

    The first time I went, I took two pistols. One I thought no one would be interested in. It turned out to be a big hit.
    The number of guns is meaningless as is the amount of ammo you bring. Come out, have fun and get to know us. If your kid wants to shoot, I will have ammo and guns. My guest. Wear his ass out.

    Edit; by the way, what part of the state are you in?

    Like stated, watch the threads. If you see something you would like to try bring some ammo for it. Most guys have ammo anyways but it helps if you have your own.

    Almost anything there is available to shoot. It is well worth paying the range fee to shoot some guns you may never have the opportunity to own.

    Well that settles it. I will show up then with him and shoot that's too easy. I just wasn't sure of the way it would be. We go to the range with what we have and I was wanting him to see some other types and calibers of firearms instead of what we have around the house. I'll bring the guns we have and see what else we can get into. We have (2 40's 1 9mm, 1 380, .22LR, .556 and .12ga). Thanks

    I usually bring more ammo than my shoulder can handle. I can bring hundreds of rounds and the steel buttplate on the Garand will wear me out after several 8 round clips. I usually shoot a handgun for a while and then go back to rifle to give body parts a rest. Just ask and I will be glad to let you shoot some of the different kinds I bring to the meet and greet.

    The TGT meet at Hicksville is different from just going to a public range on a given day. We kinda know each other from 'typing-at-one-another'. If I went to a local gun range and some guy walked up and asked to shoot my gun I might be hesitant because he is a stranger, I have NO IDEA who he is, but at Hicksville, it's different.

    Looking forward to meeting you and the kid! We will all have plenty of guns and ammo for y'all to shoot. I leave my pistols on the shooting table for anyone and everyone to enjoy. :)
