February 5th Black Swamp Carbine Shoot

Shooters, we will be utilizing the clubhouse for the February gathering.

Items on tap at this point;
We will be having a potluck, we will provide the meat and cheese plus bread and condiments. I ask that you e-mail me if you are 1. planning to attend and 2. able to contribute to the meal.

Other items for the day.
Our very own Steve from ADCO will build an AR from just parts. If you have never done this, tips from a pro like Steve can be invaluable. In addition if you wish to put your own together and need parts / tools etc please let us know. I think those items may be available at a reasonable rate.

We will do knife drills so bring your stabber and if you have a traininer please bring it along.

There will be extensive drills for both rifle and pistol. Things like transitions, manipulations, footwork and general manipulations will be covered.

If I get it in time, we will watch some of the Magpul Dynamics Precision Rifle DVD.


Do not blow this one off since we aren't shooting. I personally guarantee you will get a lot out of this day. As an added bonus we will not be collecting a shoot fee this day.
Remember, absolutely no ammo allowed in the clubhouse. We will check and double check before we triple check this.


Thanks,
Jeremy

I hope it falls on my day off. Even though I've put many AR Rifles together, a pro like Steve is sure it have easier and better ways to do it.

I hope to pick up some pointers as well. It will be a good time.

I hope to be able to attend. Will e-mail you once time is closer...

Do light sabers count as knives?

Yes. Electric knives.

Bump

I'll get with Steve and see if he needs another set of punches/blocks/vice/armorer's wrench. I can bring some of my stuff if it will help you guys out.

Just a week and some change to go. Have not heard much about what folks will bring dish wise.

Hope to have a great time!

It looks like I'll be working.

I'm still questionable for that day, but if I can make it, I figured I could bring some brownies or cookies or something else along those lines.

How about a half inside and half day shooting? Weather is predicted as mid 30s and sunny.

Would this be a good session for a newbie?

every session is a good session for a newbie.

Let's just stick with the plan. We will be back outside in March.

If you need to heat something up please come a little early. I plan on arriving about 11am.

Loose order if events.

Gather and BS until Noon.

Food and drinks.

AR lower building exercise.

Carbine Manipulation and exercise.

Pistol Manipulation and exercise.

Transitions.

Multiple people drills.

Knife exercise.

Throw a break in there somewhere and we will probably finish with a video.

Rough agenda for Sunday.

If you are compelled and just have to shoot a few rounds, the ranges are open after we are done. The BSC event will conclude around 4 pm. We shoot as a group again in March.

I need to start coming to a few of these, so I can actually use and learn how to shoot the 6920 that just sits in my safe and collects dust. Hopefully this March I can make one.

If you are new to the platforms February will be a great time for learning with no pressure. FYI

Driftwwood, Multi-G said it like it is. Now is the time to learn to handle not just your rifle or pistol, but more along the likes of body placement and control of firearms.

I just realized that's SuperBowl Sunday... Yeah, I'm not a football fan obviously or I would have realized it sooner. However, my Wife is a HUGE football fan. I doubt I'll be able to (safely) get away... :-(

Yep. That's the breaks. There's always a conflict somehow.

what's superbowl?

There's not enough eating in this agenda! ;)

This isn't going to last until 6:30......is it?

A bit bigger than a Largebowl.

Besides, it starts at 6:30p ET, we don't go past 4p ET, pretty sure most can make it home for most, if not all, the pre-game.

I will be there and I have a friend new to the ar world so count us in.

For any guests who'd like to attend and don't know where the club is located, you can go to This Page on our website and get directions to the club via Google Maps.

I'm still hoping I can make it out this month.

-Will

Usually she needs me for setting up for pre-game party, etc. I was able to get special Wifely permission to go out and play this time though. :-) I just need to make sure I get home back before the game itself.

To all those coming. I need to know a headcount and if / what you are bringing for the potluck.

Jeremy


Edit......Food covered thus far, sandwich stuff, salad, chips, cookies. A few others waiting to get back.

I'll find out tonight if I get sunday off. I hope so. Multi-G I'll contact you by Fri. with what I can bring.

But, but but - I can't miss the 12hrs of Pre-Game show on Sunday!! I might miss something.

Looks like it'll be me +1 (hopefully the better half) We're bringing a desert or a buffalo dip or something... the better half is making it after all.

Dropped you an e-mail, another newb that would like to attend.

I'm out.

who outed you? Don't worry, we'll still welcome you to our shoots.

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

You are welcome as always.

Update. I count in the low twenties at this point. Please plan your food according.

Anyone else let me know asap.

Jeremy

This will be my first time attending your guys Black Swamp Carbine Shoot club. I'm really looking forward to the training and to see what your all about.

Looking forward to meet you guys.

C-ya on Sunday

I'll be coming. I'll make some muffins.

Update for Friday night.

We are looking at between 25 to 30 in attendance Sunday. See everyone then..

I'd pad for about 5 more folks whose names I dont know who were in the shop and said they were coming.

I do have a small pad but not that many.

Looks like 30 or a few more, if everyone shows.

I sent you an Email re my brother coming. Let me know if you need anything else for the pot luck. I'm going to do some prep tomorrow, but I can always get more if we need it!

I sent one right back to you. Plastic utensils and plates if you would. Just let me know.

Does anybody know who cooked the sloppy joe stuff for the potluck? I wouldn't mind having the recipe if that's possible.

Yeah. That was GOOD stuff!!

Great job by Steve, Dave, and Jeremy on the Black Swamp gathering for February and for that matter year round. I don't think that most people have any idea what goes into putting on an event like this. It is always a good time at the shoots and I always learn at least one thing. I really enjoyed learning about the STG44 and the Bren.

I agree with the above comments.
And yeah the STG 44 is what it is all about !

Thank you Jeremy, Steve and Dave.

This was my first time at Black Swamp and had a great time. Loved learning about the Bren and the STG44 monster. Met a lot of great guys and ate some great food. I will be back soon.

And remember, 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12. I won't forget it.

A most excellent way to start off the year. All the sessions were really good, I just can't say enough about how great it is to have people willing to share that kind of knowledge! Going somewhat back to basics on the carbine manipulation was especially helpful to me. Things I should have known, but apparently just missed or forgot over time... And next time I'm at a "tavern" talking with somebody, I'll be especially watchful for people sneaking around, ready to "11" me from behind someone else. :-)

Yeah, Thanks to Jeremy, I went out and bought a couple TDI blades.......

I have evil powers.

You fondled them enough I figured you would.

It's cheaper than buying a Bren or STG44.....right?
