For us guys that have to plan al little in advance is there or will there be talks of a range day 2012?

I made last minute plans last year and flew out from CA.

I would like some extra planning time since I have a baby due in September. And by planning time i mean begging time

it was worth every penny for flight, car, and hotel just to blast some rounds and meet some people.

Oh yeah I won a nightforce scope in the raffle last year, that helped too

In for advance planning purposes a well. No baby on the way in my camp, but this would rank right up there with the All-Army Small Arms Competition for me...

It takes a huge amount of time and resources to put on an event like LaRue Range Day. This year, due to many factors, these demands have been at an all time high.

At this point, we don't have it on our 2012 calendar, and will most-likely make it an event held every other year.

We'll keep you all posted.

Of course as of 12/21/2012 we'll all be having a shoot every day everywhere when the zombies apocalypse hits
So 2013 will just have to be tentative

They could totally come up to the Silencers Are Legal shoot to show case how well their rifles run suppressed. They could even make a cute little dillo for it.


Just sayin!

I like that idea BCV. That way LT doesn't have to do all the planning, etc..., to pull off an Event.

Would be nice if we could make it happen. Do you have connections at the SAL Shoot?

Man I was really looking forward to going this year. I missed the last 2. The GF unit was even more excited than I was. She wanted to shoot & get another SE dillo for her collection.

I would hope so. I busted my ass off working it. One day I may just tell ya'll a little story about how a dillo saved the SAL shoot. I am being serious.
