No age limit to my knowledge as we've had 5-6 year olds at previous shoots. |

I'll probably be there on Sunday, with a friend or two. What stuff should I bring, besides guns, ammunition, and pumpkins? Food, water, etc.?

Hi Scrin, Bring yourself, firearms, ammo, and anything non-steel, non-glass to shoot. Bring food and drinks too. Also, drinks will be available for purchase there at the range for $1.00/12oz can. Writer |

Some of you have asked me about the range and what the place is shaping up to be. Glad you asked. Here's a few pics to get you an idea of what things will be like for the event. Enjoy, and we're looking forward to having everyone down (or up as the case may be) for a fantastic time.
On the road, off of SR64 (Exit 220 off of I-75), here it is:  We'll be out in Area 51. How perfect for the Halloween/Pumpkin season:  Oh yeah, watch where you step and drive:  Quick, turn left, or pull right:  Don't hit her, and don't take your eyes off her either. SHe has a hidden knife:  And since fire isn't going to be an issue, we'll have some of these to shoot:  Once you've made it past the obstacles, here's the range we'll be shooting at:  And of course, the firing line:  Finally, the reason for the season, uh, shooting season:

No age limits for shooters. Just have to sign the standard range waiver prior to shooting. No sweat. |

JJ's organizing a camping deal over at Manatee State Park. IM him for details. If you're into hotels, there's a Comfort Suites off of Exit 213 (University Parkway) on I-75. There's also a Holiday Inn and a Fairfield Inn. There's also a Day's Inn off of Exit 220 of I-75 and that puts you closer to the range than the ones on Exit 213. There's also an Econo Lodge there at Exit 220 as well. Writer |

Ok Everyone, We'll have some additional items to throw into the kit for this shoot. The following items will be given away on Sunday.
First Prize is a Golf Travel Roller. Not sure if you can stash rifles in this thing, but hey you can try. If all else fails it makes a good fun target.  Second Place gets a Camelback, perfect for the bikerider or even outdoor shooters at the range who may spend a day outside. Here ya go:

Will the CamelBack hold or be filled with Scotch?
I'm tryin' to decide If I want to shoot for Second Place, since I don't play golf. (Not too bloody cocky, is he? )I wanna go. I've already started the begging and grovelling with "She Who Must Be Obeyed." The ARs & Enfield need some exercise. |

You'll have to provide your own Scotch, however, it'll hold a liter of it so you'll be in good shape for the next hockey game! I'm bringing my Enfield as well. Wonder if its possible to silence an Enfield. An Enfield with a Gemtech. That might be cool. Writer |

Well, here around my house I could scrounge some. My neighbor runs some quarries and could probably get more. I do not own a pickup, so it is tough. They said at the campground that they have wood for sale....... |

Just a few things regarding this weekend:
1. Remember that the time changes Saturday night so you get an extra hour of sleep. If you forget, you'll show up an hour early when you could've been sleeping or grabbing breakfast. 2. There's a place you can rent kayak's and canoes over by the state park called the Lake Manatee Fish Camp. There's also other places you can go nearby to rent. Cost is about $20-35 for a day depending on number of people, etc. Fishing is supposed to be good on the lake there too. 3. There's a pretty decent winery closeby called the Rosa Fiorelli winery. There's a free wine tasting on Saturday and Sunday that is really good and its only about a mile south of SR64 and just west of Manatee State Park. 4. Tannerite will be available at the range for $10/bottle. Yes, we'll have a pumpkin or two for it. Just have to be 75 yards away to use the stuff. 5. It doesn't look like T.S. Noel will be an issue for the weekend and the weather should be pretty clear and in the 60's at night. Should be good all around. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Writer |
