July 4 NorCO Shoot Anyone?

[wctriumph]

Anybody in NorCO want to get together for a Thursday July 4th shoot on at Pawnee Grasslands? Exercise our First and Second Amendment rights on our nation's birthday by peacefully meeting and doing a little shooting.

I am off work that day and would like to get together with you NorCO guys and touch off a few rounds. We can shoot early and still be home with family for BBQ later in the day.

If the wife and daughter are welcome I may be interested. We have been out to Pawnee a couple times in the last few weeks, really dipping into the ammo stash but quality family time can't put a price on that. Well actually you can about .60 a round for .223 lol

I might be able to make it out. I will check back in on this in a few weeks.

Let me know ASAP, I'm sure I can convince the crew at the shop to bring out a few "toys."

fire restrictions are already starting. will Pawnee even be open by then.

Thanks for the replies guys. All are welcome, certainly family. I checked last week and Pawnee was open according to the park service, just don't build a fire.

Same place we have met before and I am planning to be out there around 8 AM to beat the heat, I'll have some pastries and water.

I want to finally shoot my 1903A3, I have acquired some .45ACP so I will shoot my 1911 this time and I will bring some .22s. My wife and daughter may join me as well, see how she feels that morning.

Look forward to meeting anyone that wants to come out for a safe and fun morning celebrating independence and 30 round mag's.

This still on? Where do you guys all meet? We usually shoot way north of most people at a berm we found years ago so I don't know the normal places everybody else goes.

jtav, you might be shooting closer to where I usually go, near the junction of 14 and 90. Where is this 8am meet at? Coords?

[wctriumph]

I am still going tomorrow and I will hope to be out there by 8:00 AM or earlier (leaving the house at 7:00 AM) Here are directions:

Directions: HWY 14 to CTY road 61, go north (left) on 61 till it t's off at 96
Turn east (right) and proceed to CTY rd 63. 63 is basically a barb wire fence, as is all of the area on the north (left) side. I believe there is signage regarding oil field surveyors on the fence. Head north on 63 until you see my white Ford Expedition, on the east (right) side of the road. I will try to find the place I have met up with other guys from earlier shoots.

I don't have much in the way of targets, I was bringing a couple of 5 gallon steel containers and setting them up at 100 paces (not as far as Quigley but I can't see that far) and some soda cans for close in popping. If anyone else is coming out and have proper target stands for paper targets, that would be great. I am sure that we can be creative and come up with some safe and sane shooting ideas.
