Oh, I get it!!!! :P
Thanks for the link to directions!!!!!!
Targets;
First off, I'm cheap.....
This is what I use and reccomend for those who like to throw lead....
Those "loose weight", "will buy your house", "blah blah" corrigated plastic signs are perfect for stick on targets and staple on paper targets. I drive down a road that is plastered with them and load up. I carry dike cutters with me to cut their zip ties. For the holders, I use the wire shelving units you get from Home Depot in their closset organizing isle. Cut them down into 12" long pieces and trim somme of the pins off. They stick perfectly inside the corrigated plastic signs and into the ground....
That said, I'm not sure how many I have in the state. I shoot a lot in Kansas and have a lot of that type stuff out there. I'll bring what I have of those.

Looks about the same up here in Denver.
It'll be gone by Friday.......... This is CO, go figure..... Hopefully it won't be muddy.
Any decision on the shoot for tomorrow?
I'm waiting for a condition report from PPP who is up there right now.
Weather for there today was sunny, 40's. Tomorrow calls for sunny, 50's.
Worst case scenario is mud. Probably will still be snow on the ground.
Ammo is packed, everything else is waiting to load up.
I'll bring warm boots & a tarp or 2. Should be nice.
Oh yeah...sunglasses.
and sunscreen.Quote:

Conditions @ North Site @ 15:30...
4 to 5 inches on ground. Some already shot today. Muddy under the snow. The parking place across the street is NOT plowed.
41F.
PPP called me and also mentioned that the roads are perfectly dry.
I'm going!! [postal]
Depending on what time tomorrow I get my AR back, I'm going to try and head straight up there from Longmont. How long are you guys usually there?
I have plenty of other toys to bring, but REALLY want the AR.....
On a side note, I got to hold a 9mm mini-uzi tonight. Man that thing is coooooolllll, I wish I had one to bring along.

Is this a North shoot or a South Shoot? Just need to make sure. If it's North, what time is the gang leaving from Denver?
It's the north spot.Quote:

10am at ITT at 84th and 25?
Well, I just realized that I can't have the car till 11, so I'll probably be a little late to the shoot, but I'm still in. I'll at least be able to catch the end of the shoot and get some rounds through my new AK. [postal]
I'm planning on going straight to the site.
OK, sounds good. Be there, what, around 10?Quote:

Look forward to meeting up w/ everyone on one of your north shoots someday soon... sounds like fun!
OK then my crew will Navaguess our way up there
:cry:
I really wanted to meet 'yall and attend today but my son is still under the weather and I need to look after him. But ONE of these days I'll make it up there.....
You guys have fun and remember.....
[useless]
The Dog is out in the car waiting, So, I guess I'll be leaveing here in a few.
Man, I'm still waiting on my brother to show up. :roll:
Man was it windy!
Nice sunny day & enough snow so we really didn't have to deal with any mud.
All kinds of people showed up I'd never met before: OddThomas, Marpat, Badshot, Gman, Scott, Devochka, Kappy, I hope I remembered everyone...
And I got to shoot some cool guns I hadn't tried before:
Oddthomas' shotgun, Kappy's saiga, Badshot's PTR91 - thanks guys!
Finally after being rewarded with an occasional moment of decreased wind the last of us start packing up.
Who should show up but MP5Engineer & Topherseven with the cool new 10/22. That thing rocks! Anybody have a 10/22 for sale?
Then Topherseven demonstrated his outstanding skill at bump firing an AR!!! [headbang] [headbang]
Did I mention the wind was annoying?
I'll have photos up sometime tomorrow.
I was already a little stressed today due to my homework, I wasn't able to leave until about 11:30, and finally, apparently you do need to lubricate AKs, but I still had fun though. [postal]

And, finally, here are some of the rounds that got screwed up by my AK before I squirted some oil in it. Anybody have any ideas as to the cause?

Had a blast! WINDY!!!
I can't tell if my face is sunburned or windburned. [shock2]
It was good to finally see the folks at a north shoot. Nice location for a shoot. [postal]
After the rest of you quitters left Topher and I took some pics. I am pretty proud of my new baby. :mrgreen:

I got a speeding ticket on my way down Highway 7. Crappy way to end a sweet shoot.
Also, quite nice meeting everyone. I will have to relearn everyones name probably but you guys kick ass anyways :)
Tickets suck. FYI, if anybody ever drives by the Red Rocks Community College campus in Lakewood, they have a speed trap near the entrance sign. Ask me how I know lol
Crap, I think I saw you guys walking across the street right when I pulled out in the blue 4runner parked at the entrance. Ah well. I had a ton of fun meeting everyone. I'll be putting up pictures here shortly.Quote:

Here are most of the pictures that I took from the North shoot on the 28th. If this is the incorrect place to post these then let me know and I'll move them. If you do not want your picture up then let me know and I'll be happy to remove it as well. Lots of fun with lots of wind and sun. I have full res 1600x1200 available if anyone wants one.
