Just south of I-20 on hwy 441, pretty much across the street from Tractor Supply. I believe it's called Madison Rentals. I have no idea how "on the cheap" it might be though..... Sure am glad you can make it!!! It would be a shame for one of the most regular users of the range to miss the Fall Shoot!!!! Quote HistoryQuoted:

I AM IN!!!!! http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q659/talrx1/Meme/in_zps17hex0pv.gif I finally decided you bastards are worth 42 hours of used vacation time. 
My job change isn't happening right away and my vacation time re-loads in early November. I have 47 hours left and using 42 of it to hang out, shoot the shit, shoot the guns, drink some beer, and partake in more campfire antics with you bunch of misfits.
Will roll in Friday late morning to help set up and get things going. Any work days yet Draconis? ....Fantastic.....Good you can make it after all, though I don't think we can top the campfire shenanigans of the Spring Shoot at RGR....We can only hope to tie... 
....As for work days, I was studying on this weekend but it looks to be a wet one so I had planned to try next weekend.....I'll start a separate thread soon on workdays and the list of goals we want to get done before the 24th..... The range will definitely need to be mowed. Tall weeds have taken over. I cleared some 2 weeks ago so I could see at least 1 plate at 200 from the far left bench. If anyone knows anyone with a brush hog style mower, that would be good. This is my weekend off this coming weekend. Busy Friday and Saturday, but I do have Sunday and Monday off. The next would be my weekend on. Emu, is there a sunbelt rental or equivalent in Madison we can get a bush hog mower on the cheap?

Sure am glad you can make it!!! It would be a shame for one of the most regular users of the range to miss the Fall Shoot!!!! ....Wasn't there a new HTF member just South that had fun toys like that?....Any chance he would come knock down the brush so the mowers can handle the rest?.. |

Damn, that will really help! Good work. And thanks to all the team for all the legwork you are doing to make this happen. We all really appreciate it. I am sure, as soon as you nail one thing three others appear. We will be there as early on Friday as possible to assist. Will be me plus two young men in their 20s.
Are there any supplies that would help? I can raid the Corporate pantry. Intend to bring a good bit of water in bottles. |

Looks like everything is shaping up to be a great event.
Please count myself and one more in. We should be able to make it out Friday. I RSO'd last event and would be willing to do the same for this one. It looks like a good amount have already volunteered; no worries if you think there are enough, or I did a poor job last year. My apologies for being so out of contact with the planning of this event, finishing school has caused me to have to back-burner far more than I would like. |

Hey guys- my beau has to work that entire weekend so it will just be me on Saturday instead of the plus 5. He's pissed his camping/shooting weekend just got hijacked because subs can't get their job done.
 I will at least be able to vent down range.  On a happy note, I made some updates to the AngryEmuRange.com , check them out and let me know if there are any questions! |
