Carbine Class for a Bag of Trash - 1 With Poll for new date

[BigMat]

Here it is. Link to previous thread. (http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37338)

The first one will be one Sunday, the 1st of May. If all goes well we will continue to run these as often as possible and desired. Seems like the last weekend of the month may be a good pattern, and we will probably move it to Pawnee next time.


Break down of the event as of now-

South site shooting range, near Buffalo Creek Colorado-

I will get there very early-show up as soon as you can, but we will start before the ranges get running just to tie it up as ours. Forrest service may help with this.

For the first hour or so, cleaning up the range. If we have enough people I don’t think this will take any longer than this, probably much less time than this

For few minutes- zeroing, may help to have a bunch of other guys to watch targets. Here is a good chance to set up your scope with a bunch of other people who know/care what an MOA is. Those who try to zero with there wife/kid know what I mean.

For the next 4-5 hours, we will run some drills, maybe a little contest or two, thinking a balloon shoot, an El Presidente or two? This will be updated as I get more ideas and requests. Been an idea for some prizes for these, Golden brick for missing, Painted shell for winning? Thanks Alxone.

After that, BBQ-enough said

More shooting if we are up to it

Clean up what we have made, run by the Buffalo Creek Ranger Station and dump our trash, and head on home, maybe dropping guys off on the way.



Here's what I ask as of now-

I will count you as one if you say your coming and don't add numbers to your post.
If you plan to come and/or bring anybody, please say so so we can get a good idea how much to bring in terms of food or needs for range day. This isn't an RSVP, if you don't post, you can come or bring others, but please do your best to let us know. If you post and can't come, same story, I won't freak out, but please let us know as best you can.

If you are alright driving others, please let us know and let people know where and how many spots you will have. (if you need a ride, please PM the member and get it organized)

If you have some food that you would like to throw in, please let us know so others can bring other stuff.

If you plan to bring steel or targets, let us know, If you plan to please put your name on it, I would like to avoid hard feelings and mistakes. I will bring some paint, so we can mark them-

-thinking-green-22s only, blue-pistols or 22s, red or not painted-rifles on down.



If you feel comfortable running a drill or two, want to do a certain drill or contest, please let me know, I will update this thread with any details or information.

If you are an industry partner and would like to show off some of your gear, let me know so we can get an idea and share it with others. We can’t sell guns to avoid it turning into a “gun show” but if you have other stuff your needing to trade with a guy, I don’t see the problem.

[BigMat]

Pulled form other thread- I will try to keep this post running and updated.

[Big Wall]

Let's start a list of equipment we can bring. Copy and paste list into your post.

1. Big Wall: 1 steel target and stand. The steel is thin but it was free so I really don't care how beat up it gets. AR-15 zeroing targets if anyone needs one.

[jscwerve]

Dammit, I will have to make the next one. I'm moving and won't be able to attend this one.

[opie011]

Awesome this is going to be on a Saturday!! Count me in and I can provide 3 seats in my truck and 1/2" steel targets(pistol only- might give some away)! I've got 8 roughly 2'x2' pieces of 1/2" steel and can cut/torch them to specific sizes if wanted!?

[jerrymrc]

I can't commit at this point but will let you know in a week or so. I am broke physically at the moment and it is all I can do to walk.


an El Presidente or two? Lots of fun and I do have a bunch of silhouettes and some stands. And for those that do not know it is 2 shots each on 2 silhouettes, mag change, 2 shots each on 2 silhouettes at 15 yds, shot from one spot. You start with your back to the table. [Coffee] I am slow at it but have a good time anyway.

[Jmetz]

Would like to but work saturdays. Make the next one a sunday and I'll be in.

Sorry to hear that Jerry... let me know if I can do anything... I'm in the neighborhood...
It doesn't look like I'll be able to make this one... we'll see how things go for the rest of the month...

[stevelkinevil]

Really wanted to attend with the youngins, however my youngest sons birthday is the 29th and he is having a sleepover party so that kinda kills it for me. Besides the ol'lady works Saturdays and she would be "upset" if she didn't get to go. Hopefully next month will be on a Sunday.

Hmmm, there are a lot of different formats for El Prez. This is the one I'm familiar with:

I thought we were doing this on a Sunday.

Wife works Saturdays
Fail, Cannot make it with any Foods.
I wont ask her to Cook all Night and the get up at 5am and go to work.

count me out.

[sbouslog]

Can someone give me directions from Denver? I would like to go but have no idea where it is.

[Colorado Luckydog]

Can't do Saturday but I'm there if you ever have it on Sunday. Maybe you can alternate. You guys have fun.

[Half Live]

I thought it was going to be on a Sunday, what happened? I can't make it the 30th, I got to work that day.

[Byte Stryke]

Someone switched it up on us.

[CMP_5.56]

Sunday would have been better for me. Looks like I am going to have to wait until the the next one.

[BigMat]

My fault, meant to keep it Sunday, will edit!
Sorry Oppie,
Calenders are tricky things.

Not a big deal...I just got shot down on both threads now[BooHoo]

[ChunkyMonkey]

The first one will be one Sunday, the 1st of March.

ARGH... how did I miss this? How did it go? [Tooth]

[BigMat]

I'm stupid.[Tooth]

I actually looked at the calender this time, no more fingers and guessing.

Hehehe..Thanks for putting this together btw.

[CMP_5.56]

Yeah, thanks BigMat. I will make it now for sure, and I'llsee what I can bring and post it up in the next few days.

[enthusiast]

I may be able to make it with my son also. I have some AR500 steel.

I can bring a small weber grill and some brats, buns, chips, and I can have my wife make some sort of a desert.

[patrick0685]

looks like a fun time...sadly sunday morning never work for me with work at 7 am

[blackford76]

I have room for 4 people, but I live in Bailey. I can meet riders in Pine Junction and carpool from there to save a little gas. Also have a trailer to load with trash and would be happy to haul a full load to the Buffalo Creek Ranger station to dump it off.

[Big Wall]

I shot at the steel I have today and it is crap. So that's out. I do have two stands for steel targets that I can bring if someone has steel plates and something to hang them with.

[Half Live]

Awesome. Since I don't work Sundays I should be coming down. And I should be able to take a full size van with AWD so it should be able to make it. Also, I would have room for 6 people and gear so if someone from the south denver metro needs a ride let me know.

[mcantar18c]

I'll be there.
Maybe a mod could edit the title to include the date of the event?

[Byte Stryke]

Fail x 2

AGC USPSA Shoot May 1

:(



I promised Cha-Lee I would shoot this one and make him look even better.
[ROFL1]

[trlcavscout]

Would like to but work saturdays. Make the next one a sunday and I'll be in.

Same here.

[TAG]

Thanks.

[Half Live]

Lets keep this tread on the top shall we.

So is everyone prepping for the day?

sorry, schedule fail

[Big Wall]

I will be there with my 2 sons. We have room for 1. Located near Santa Fe & Belleview.

[beast556]

Any one from the Ft fun, Loveland area going that I can catch a ride with?

[clublights]

I most unhappily have to bow out ..........


have 3 shows that day. :-(

[BigMat]

I have bad news-

There has been a death in the family and the funeral is the day before in Washington. Hense, I won't be there.

I don't see this as a reason to cancel at all and if someone wouldn't mind it is basically set to go it will just need a phone call to the ranger station right before hand to let them know you are going to be using their dumpster and I have the contact number for you.


Sorry guys.

[Half Live]

Wow, so sorry mate, my prayers are with you and your family.

I am still planing on showing up and I am probably bringing my sister out to let her shoot her first gun since we missed out on going to Silver Bullet.

[Half Live]

btt. Hey does anyone need some cardboard for targets?

[CMP_5.56]

Has anyone gotten the contact info for the ranger station? Are we still going ahead with this?

[Half Live]

Has anyone gotten the contact info for the ranger station? Are we still going ahead with this?

I believe BigMat has the number

[CMP_5.56]

Who all is still in for this?

[porfiriozg]

i'm still in

[Half Live]

I'm still in.

[CMP_5.56]

So far looks like maybe three of us? And I had some bills come up and will barely even be able to bring ammo, let alone targets or food. [Dunno]

[Byte Stryke]

I think scheduling killed it for most people.

[CMP_5.56]

Well this was an awesome idea, and even if this one falls through we should schedule another one soon. Maybe we should do a poll and see what weekend and day people can do for sure.

[CMP_5.56]

Poll to find out best day in upcoming month for the clean and shoot day idea BigMat started. Pick your best day and the day with the most vote will be the one we will shoot to schedule the next C.C.F.B.T. (carbine class for a bag of trash)

[jerrymrc]

Would you like me to merge the two threads? And I voted. :)

[patrick0685]

i can go any sat morning

[ChunkyMonkey]

So for those who didn't follow the other 2 threads, could you update the original post on this thread on the details? Cabinet class?

Also all updates should be on the OP to make it easy for some of us who don't follow every single post.

I voted! :)

[CMP_5.56]

Would you like me to merge the two threads? And I voted. :)
That would be awesome actually.

[stevelkinevil]

so this is a no go? bummer, I am in the same boat as someone above me, as I will be lucky to be able to afford 100 rounds or so to shoot, but was really hoping to get some help sighting in my scope.

[jerrymrc]

That would be awesome actually.

Done and renamed it. If ya want it changed let me know. :)

[Pancho Villa]

I can make it most days. Interested for sure.

[Half Live]

Any sunday can work and everyother saturday works.

[NukeRJ]

Hello all. I would be happy to make the drive depending on the day. I voted sun the 8th.

I am a former SFAUC instructor, also have attended the gunsite 2 week carbine, pistol, and breaching course. As well as the VTAC 40 hr carbine instructors course.
I was a cell breacher for 5 yrs. Also SOTIC level 3.

I have 3 8x10 ar500 steel plates with stands good for up to 308 ball.

Randy

[roberth]

I will not be able to make the May 1st date. I was going to bring water.

[stevelkinevil]

well it doesn't appear that many (if any) folks are gonna make it. But if any of you are out there Sunday (1st) please do feel free to say hi and feel even more free to help me zero my scope (I have no idea how to). I will be the one in the black range rover with a roof rack, also my GF's friend Kevin is coming to shoot for the first time with his first pistol (FNx9) and he is in a wheelchair so we wont be hard to spot. Hope to meet at least a few of you there.

Same here, I was only going to be able to bring 100-200 rounds. but I wanted to get a good zero on my stag.

[stevelkinevil]

Hey people where are you all? I'm down here alone. Btw, verizon has 3g down here.

Sorry man, wanted to go but never made it. People that I was bringing didn't want to brave the weather so we went to cherry creek, oh well, at least got my scope sighted in.

[Half Live]

Sorry man, wanted to go but never made it. People that I was bringing didn't want to brave the weather so we went to cherry creek, oh well, at least got my scope sighted in.

The weather was pretty good. A little chilly but my light coat was good enough. A slight breeze and every once-in-a-while and few flakes of snow.

[spleify]

For you guys that wanted to sight in your scopes, if you didnt have a chance last weekend, I am heading out to Pawnee this weekend and you are welcome to come along and I would be happy to help you learn how to sight in your rifles.

Shoot me a PM so as not to poo poo up this thread

[NukeRJ]

Has any decision been made as to when the majority of shooters are able to come out?
