Quote HistoryQuoted: Little something if you want to bring your own target. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_9_7/233662_.html&page=1 I can't see the pictures in the linked thread on my phone, but it sounds interesting. I usually just bring one-by strips with me to the range and hammer them into the ground and staple a cardboard target to them. I found after trying to build my own target stands that this was pretty quick, cheap, and MUCH more portable than anything that I had come up with. I always like to see what people come up with for home built target holders though. I'm looking forward to checking this out... We're one week away!!! |

I'll bring my canopy like last year. I might try to bring some weights for it too. Let me know if we need anything else. I will bring my drill bit to finish the holes in those targets too.

I have a few extra sets of ear plugs if anyone needs them.
Also, I have some barrels we could put water in to hold down tents if it gets too breezy. Anyone who needs directions, please send me an IM. I know there are a few who needed them and I will shoot my addy to them mid week. If anyone has a working cordless drill with a Phillips #2 bit, I have acquired some big blue work order boards (4x8) that are going to be re purposed as target boards. I want to remove the plywood from one side and replace it with OSB from another one. Saturday is coming up fast, look forward to seeing everyone then. |

Everything is mowed except the backstop. I am hoping my dad can bring his boom mower over and hit it, otherwise, I'll have to use the weedeater on Friday. I will be in Denver until Thursday. The only reason Im worried about it is that I don't want someone to think the thing is higher than it is. The tall vegetation makes it look about 3 feet higher.

Hey guys.
Picked up a front sight tool and 2 boxes of .22 Varmint HP's. 9.95 for 50 each at pro armaments. How ever they did not have a spanner wrench for the bolt on the stock that holds the piece in that holds the spring and pin that holds the recoil buffer in place. We have an AR that has one that needs to be tightened EDIT: ITS A CASTLE NUT. I'm just tired. Anyways, can someone bring a (spanner???) tool for it on Saturday? I would be grateful.  |

I have the spanner wrench. It's a cheap one, I think an NCSTAR so maybe someone who has a decent one could throw it in their bag.

Safe1, I see the road is closed, is it north or south of your place? Or is it something we can get around?

Good point!
It's closed North of US 6,but south of me, anyone coming from the south can take the first road east Lenox-New Lyme rd, North to Footville Richmond Rd (little white church on S.E. corner with a VBS sign), shoot back west to 46. This way would add 2 miles for anyone coming for the Cleveland area, and nothing for someone coming from Rt11. There is a way to get here by coming up 45 but the road jogs and changes names in a couple places. If you use my address, which I'll send out tonight, your GPS should get you here if you come up 45 to Rock Creek. |

I'm in Denver getting ready to jump on a plane back home. I doubt there will be any problems, we've been pretty dry. If I hadn't been helping a friend with field work on his farm, I'd have built up the backstop some more. |

I have a FEMA donated tent you and I are going to try to put up. It got blown around during Rita at a distribution center in MS. It got tweaked but should still be usable for shade. |

His hands were still vibrating from the weedeater and he was having a hard time making a taco. We thought it would be interesting to see how you shot a pistol after an hour or so on the weed wacker in the morning.

You should get many thanks! If not for just those sending rounds down range to better see our targets, then for thse on the other side not wantin those rounds to go past the backstop. Keep em safe and keep us in the clear to enjoy days like tomorrow for many more to come!! Thank You GreyGuy
