[Marlin]

OK, if that glorified gopher in Pa. is correct, it should be a great day. [roll] So, shake the winter doldrums and make it out. :mrgreen:

[Wallary]

Sounds good to me!!! Goodbye Snow & Ice ! Hello Gunpowder & Cheesy Brats! [roll] [usa] [postal] [greenbann] [dance1] [elephant] [purple] [devban] [dancing] [calvin] [hobbs] [spidey] [hero]

[Gman]

Anybody been by the south location lately to see how well the area is thawing?

[7idl]

When you say "south location" and are refering to southern Florida.. all is well down here, I'm happy to report :mrgreen:

[Wallary]

When you say "south location" and are refering to southern Florida.. all is well down here, I'm happy to report :mrgreen: Are you still down there 7 ? Did you get to do some shark hunting while you were there? Spear fishing is one of my biggest desires. I used to have a spear gun years ago. I never shot it under water but, It had five rubber bands and would penetrate through 8 hollow core doors. :mrgreen: I was going to ask you if you did any night dives? You'll have to tell us all about you trip when you get back. :P

[KarlPMann]

I have not been to the south location in a few weeks. I've been kinda basing my thoughts about it based on my front yard. If I have a hard time getting in and out of my driveway, even after using a snowblower, then I know I don't want to try that nasty FS road with all this snow. I'll try to drive by this week and take a look though. Karl.

[LippCJ7]

ok guys since this will hopefully be my first "Club Shooting Event"(weather permitting) what would be the expected equipment that I should bring? I was thinking of bringing my slide in camper for comfort as I will most likely have to bring the wife Targets to shoot at a table maybe some sort of sun shade a table food what else guys don't hold back. Side Note The Hooters girls are out since the wife is coming so don't go there I'm still digging out of the hole after suggesting it too the wife.

[KarlPMann]

During the summer months I'd be reminding you of the obligatory cheesy brats :roll: but it's too cold for cooking. [roll] So just remember, eyes and ears, targets, guns, ummm? [poke] Whatever you want to bring. Karl.

[AR Will]

but it's too cold for cooking.
To cold for cooking cheese brats?
Karl are you feeling ok? [poke]

[Atrain]

Karl...we are very concerned about you. Please let us know if you find this disgusting:

[Atrain]

Also, let us know if you still find this scene in Ghostbusters horrifying, not because of the ghost, but because the ghost has an insatiable appetite for Brats and it could have babies, potentially eating Brats into extinction.

[AR Will]

Or deos this picture make you uneasy?

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/gravitt123/PICT0190.jpg

Karl we're only looking out for your health.



By the way no brats were harmed, they were however very tasty :mrgreen:

[Atrain]

[shock2]

LOL @ Will

[KarlPMann]

I can tell you mean the cheesy brats no harm, your finger is off the trigger. :P Karl. [roll]

[AR Will]

your finger is off the trigger. :P Karl. [roll]

As it should be. If my finger was on the trigger, that would mean the cheese brats are downrange [postal]

[recon1976]

[roll] [roll] [roll]

[Gman]

Bring plenty of ammo.

[Wallary]

If there's a hint of mud and snow at the shoot I'll probably pass this time and go to the Crossroads of the West Gun Show. They seem to always pop-up at the same time the shoots are scheduled. :twisted:

[Gman]

Has anyone checked out the shoot site yet?

[KarlPMann]

Not me. :roll: I'll try this week. Right before the shoot, maybe thursday or friday. Karl.

[Gman]

Thank you! I need to schedule someone to be with the wife if we're on for Saturday.

[AR Will]

I plan on attending this shoot. After the shoot I'm going to fish Eleven Mile Canyon.

Anyone else coming to the shoot? [poke]

[KarlPMann]

I will be there. I'll go look at the shoot location tomorrow after lunch. Karl.

[Atrain]

I'll be there [postal]

It will most likely be muddy but let's wait for Karl to check it out...

[LippCJ7]

I just got my knee scoped and things were not as bad as first thought so I am in for Saturday I even got the wifes blessing so it looks like I will finally meet you guys is anyone going to meet in castle rock?

[robsterclaw]

I'll be there unless something pops up. I really want to shoot my new Sig. I was a bonehead and didn't order any new ak food,and am bringing wifey so probably won't stay too long. I hope it's a nice weather day!

[HunterCO]

I guess I will have to go also and get my truck muddy as well as my boots. :cry: :mrgreen:

[Marlin]

MUD, You know nothing of mud, I have been walking through mud for five weeks now. :P

LippCJ7, If You want I can meet You in CR at the McD's on Founders Parkway.

[LippCJ7]

Great Marlin what time you wanna meet?

[Marlin]

Around 8:15 or so, Let Me know What Your in. I'll be in a white Blazer.

[LippCJ7]

well thats almost as easy as me I am in the biggest white billboard you may ever see disguised as a white 06 dodge cummins crew cab with a white camper shell I call it the great white shark my wife calls it the great white whale but we all know she would rather drive my truck then hers!!

[HunterCO]

Alright now that you two have established a myspace date get to the shoot LOL. [roll] [poke] :P


Sorry I could not help myself. :mrgreen: Who is going to dig up Karl since he has been dead for 3 years and get him to the shoot?? :P

[KarlPMann]

I'll get to the range today and take a look see. Karl. :mrgreen:

[Gman]

Well, inquiring minds want to know. [poke]

[HunterCO]

I don't see how it would be any problem for those of us with 4x4's I don't know about cars though.

karl what is the scoop? [poke]

[SigsRule]

Well I'm still stuck in Washington DC and don't know if I'll make it back early enough to get my act together for this one. My last three flights have all had delays of two to ten hours :oops:

I'll just have to hit Safeway and scarf up some cheesy brats and think good thoughts if I don't get back on time. [beer]

[roman gnome]

Mud,snow,wind-nothing will keep me from my appointed "rounds". :cool:

[KarlPMann]

Sorry guys but I did not make it out there today. We had a sighting of one of our wayward children that flew the coop over a year ago and is worth $30K. [poke] So we draopped all and ran. I'll get out there tomorrow after lunch. Karl. :oops:

[robsterclaw]

Hell I'd drop everything for $20 and a cheeseburger! :mrgreen: Can't blame you at all.

[Atrain]

I'll run out there in a little bit and report back...

[KarlPMann]

Oooh, hurry, save me the trip. :twisted: Karl.

[Atrain]

Forgot my camera (duh) so here are a few from my phone. Road is muddy and not 2WD friendly. Range is snow covered (around 6-8") up to the backstop. Should be fine once you get to the range. Backstop is pretty dry. My AWD minivan should be able to make it. I'll be there around 11am, with a small table and chairs. If anyone (with 2wd) wants me to pick them up at Mc Donalds at 10:45 or so, PM me. Just FYI, I have to jam at 2pm.

ETA: A buddy is letting me borrow his 4WD Suburban so I will have plenty of room for extra people and cargo.

[robsterclaw]

I have to work. Pisses me off, I wanted to try out my new Sig. :evil:

[Atrain]

Are you feeling okay robster? You sound like you are coming down with something...*cough*sickday*cough*

[Gman]

Thanks for the pics, Atrain. I will have to disassemble the wife's wheelchair ramp to get the Tahoe out of the garage tonight.

[RYAN50BMG]

I think I'll pass and go to the gunshow.

[Atrain]

I think I'll pass and go to the gunshow.

Come on Ryan...Karl will throw his jacket over the mud puddles for you.

[KarlPMann]

I was just there in A TOYOTA CELICA!!! I made it all the way up. NO WIMPING OUT! :evil: It's not that bad, but we can stop about 100 feet short and park on the grass at the edge of the road. Just wear warm shoes. I'll be at the McDonalds at 9:30 as usual. UZI will be on hand. Karl.

[RYAN50BMG]

Yeah, I got alot more than one subgun with no ammo to lug around. :P

[Wallary]

No Thanks! You guys have fun, I'll be going to the Crossroads of the West Gun Show. Better luck next time. [usa]

[Atrain]

Yeah, I got alot more than one subgun with no ammo to lug around. :P

I'll help carry your stuff...

[Atrain]

No Thanks! You guys have fun, I'll be going to the Crossroads of the West Gun Show. Better luck next time. [usa]

shouldn't have posted those pics [roll]

[HunterCO]

See all you ladies in the morning. :P :mrgreen:

[KarlPMann]

I'll be at the McDonald's at 9:30. Karl.

[robsterclaw]

I'd like to call in sick, but it's our yearly awards banquet, and I get asked to help set up. Can't call in sick for that, then show up for free drinks, food, prizes, awards and a $39.95 hotel room. And we all know hotel sex is better then home sex. [roll]

[LippCJ7]

ok I wasn't agreeing with him until the sex thing

[AR Will]

On my way [postal]

[KarlPMann]

I'll depart here at... ummmmm, maybe.... 9:25AM MST. :twisted: Karl.

[AR Will]

On my way [postal] I was on my way, then my truck started having problems. See you next time. :cry:

[Gman]

You still made it, Will.

It seems like it's been forever since I've been to a shoot. It was good to see everyone again. I finally got to give that new mid-length RRA upper a beating to break it in. Sorry I wasn't able to interact more with you great folks, but hopefully my voice will return in time for the next shoot. [postal]

[HunterCO]

Had a good time despite the weather was nice to meet some of the new members. The next south shoot we should be able to have a BBQ with some cheesy brats. That spare tire Karl carrys around his waist was looking a little small. I'm no medical expert but I think that is a clear sign of cheesy brat deficency. [roll] :mrgreen:

See everyone at the next shoot. [postal]

[AR Will]

It was nice to see everyone agian. I had fun. I'm looking forward to better conditions for the next one.

[MPfiveengineer]

Karl, Alucard, topherseven, and I are the only ones who stuck arround atfer the snow. You may all bow to us now.

[KarlPMann]

[roll] Yeah-----> [theking] Karl. [roll]

[MPfiveengineer]

Hunter, thanks forr letting me try your Serbu.

Karl, your .357 sucked!

[LippCJ7]

Thanks to everyone for allowing my son to shoot their toys. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Thanks also to HunterCO for showing me where my barrel is indeed stamped with the twist I have an eye appt scheduled on Monday now. I think March may be my worst month and my Doctors best first the knee then eyes now my wife is talking about removing me from the gene pool and she politely made the appt FOR ME :oops: but again thanks to everyone and we look forward to seeing everyone next shoot when I will hopefully be on 2 legs not 3.

Sidenote: Cole told me this was the best shooting trip EVER and I agree with him

[topherseven]

It was a good turn out today. The snow stopped after everyone left.

Like MPfive said Karl's .357 was a bear, my hand is still feeling it.

good to see everyone again

[Atrain]

Had a great time with you all today. Thanks again to HunterCO, Karl, and Roman gnome for the trigger time. Also want to thank the dog for letting me throw that suprisingly slobbery ball a few times. [beer]

Karl, I'll have the orthopedic specialist send the bill for my wrist directly to you.

[roman gnome]

We had a blast, but we always have a blast, but then we're easily amused.

:mrgreen: [usa]

[Marlin]

Thanks Guys. :mrgreen:

[KarlPMann]

OK, why is everyone picking on my poor little pistol? Karl. :roll:

[Gman]

Is it the pistol's fault or the owner who wanted everyone to experience the same sting that he has? Karl, maybe you should get a S&W 329PD and bring it to the next shoot with full-house .44 magnum loads. [poke]

Perhaps Karl should be leery of the cheesy brats that people offer him in the future. One of them could be handful. :mrgreen:

[LippCJ7]

I tell you guys though it sure would have been nice to have weather like today YESTERDAY!!

[chrisguy]

What kind of .357 is this, a derringer?


In an emergency I think my old 4" Ruger could probably serve as a small boat anchor.
[pirate]


Hope to make the next North shoot. Been working on a couple things, including my first attempt at removing Cosmoline. [confused]

[Gman]

S&W 340PD with HI-VIZ (http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=14766&langId=-1&isFirearm=Y) front sight. Scandium alloy frame and Titanium cylinder. 12oz. unloaded.

[KarlPMann]

It also has these added.

http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=13073

Karl.

[chrisguy]

Sweet. I handled one of those last time I was at Tanner and was impressed by the light weight. But yeah, wouldn't wanna shoot full loads much. :roll:

[robsterclaw]

I remember that gun! It sure puts an ache in your hand. :mrgreen:

[PsychoI3oy]

Heh, I shot that the same day last summer that I shot Marlin's Raging Bull in .454Casull.

The S&W hurt more.

[LippCJ7]

I really wanted to shoot HunterCO's smoothbore but I was seriously worried it would have knocked me off my crutches!!

[KarlPMann]

Dude, trust me, it aint that bad. You saw your son shoot my gun, it was no worse than that. I aint looking to get ANYONE hurt. You would have been fine. :mrgreen: I haven't seen a gun yet at our shoots that is too much for any normal male adult. Try it next time. Karl. [postal]

[LippCJ7]

I will definatley try it next time there were so much toys to play with ah what a drag about my knee man that just bumms me out. first thing out of coles mouth after we left was "when's the next shoot?"so I may have to goto the north shoots too! HunterCO and Atrain had the gun I want to build next I think they were M4's but I'm not positive, I think with this crowd I couldn't have chosen a better group to shoot with everyone was awesome I really can't thank everyone enough.

[SigsRule]

I didn't make the shoot and am not sure which S&W you're talking about. But I have the Titanium/Scandium .357. I can shoot a cylinder full of .357 but it does hurt. On the other hand, it's my primary CCW gun because IT IS SO LIGHT! I carry .38+P defense loads in it.

Before you start the old argument I'll go on record saying if I knew I was going to a gunfight - first off, I wouldn't go, but if I had to I'd take either my P226 or P220. But failing that certain knowledge, the PD340 is my go everywhere piece.

[KarlPMann]

Exact same gun. 340PD with Hi-vis sight and Crimson Trace Laser Grips. I also carry it as my main gun because of the light weight. I also carry 38Spec.+P Exploders. I carry a speed loader full of 357 Glasers for harder targets. :twisted: I practice with at least two cylinders of 357's each time I shoot. I use 38 standard loads, usually 130gr., for most practice though. Karl.
