Had a great time, but hurtin' this morning...

Thanks to GRATIOFLASH for the hospitality and to Voldaddy for the great grub!!!

It was great meeting everybody, and putting faces with names.

We need some "Hello, my name is..." stickers with pictures of our avatars....

We have to do it again... when it's warmer...

(I wonder if orange chalk stains...?)

I am going to put in a plug for Shootingtargets7 that was recommended to me by someone on Arfcom a few weeks ago. This 3/8 in target was shot probably 1000 times yesterday with at least everything up to 308 and sustained zero real damage other than the chains and bolts being hit and cut a few times. I high can highly recommend buying from this guy and the targets are cheap!

Thanks again to GRATIOFLASH for hosting another great event. It was great meeting so many nice people. I rely enjoyed seeing everyones guns. The Shrike and Barrett made my day.Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the food I really enjoyed cooking for the event. We must do this again sooner and in warmer weather. Maybe we can meet on the first Saturday of each month in Memphis/Jackson (rotate) at a range and eat afterwards.

Looks like y'all had a dang good time! Hate I missed it. I'll be putting in for time off next event.

Dew it, good time was had by all, I think.

And I don't hate the idea of a regular meet up at all. We also need to figure out a central meeting spot for an annual gig, or get killthewabbit to convince the Nashville and points east crews to come on over.

To repeat what has been said. Thanks GratioFlash for hosting. Voldaddy your beans were good but the ribs were Excellent. Thanks to GratioFlash, bigwakes, HKOverkill, Jupiter and Hank for letting me shoot some different weapons. After this shoot I really want to get into the NFA game. Suppressors kick ass. FA was awesome, (first time). Suppressors also a first. Oh did I say suppressed shooting kicks ass.

And I'd most certainly be game for another gathering in the future.

I finally got my can off the QD mount

. Kroil, heat (torpedo heater), two aluminum V blocks, vice and an armor's wrench. I won't forget to anti-seize it before getting it that hot again.

I'd definitely be up for it when the weather warms up a little more. I freeze my ass off for a living, and not freezing on my days off is a good plan for the moment. Since I guess our old TN HTF shoots are now history, it would be great to meet other TN Arfcommers, even Hank.

Lol, you didn't want to just send it back for the shop to service?

And as to the name tag suggestion.... It would be helpful. How we could do the avatar name tags I don't know. But screen name and actual name would be nice. I used to be really good with names. Not so much anymore.

That'd been the next step, luckily I've got tools, lots of patience from my former life in aviation maintenance and let's not forget Kroil.

Remember where you got them? I think I need a few. That was fun to shoot at with the 308.

I was just recalling our conversation on folks with their lack of either skill or initiative.

Glad it got sorted out

I was saying the same thing at the shoot. I couldn't keep up with names and screen names. It was odd getting a mental image of the avatar when someone would tell me their screen name. I guess I am on ARFCOM too much. If we do ribs again, I want to buy a rack to take home. That stuff was awesome. I might even bring some ammo for the 50.

My wife shot the chain once. Thanks for bringing the target. I held her high for missing a target that size while shooting off a bipod at 100yd.

It happens and I fully expected it to. That's why I brought plenty of spare parts and another complete target to keep it running if need be. I wasn't sure how it would stand up to that kind of abuse but am pleased at the results for such a cheap target to put together. I need to try and find some more resilent chain for the next shoot and I will set out guite a few more of these. I'm thinking case hardened chain will do better. Bullets cut that cheap 1/4 in chain from Lowes like butter.

Looks like you guys had some nice items there! The Barrett was my favorite from the couple pics that I saw.

That's the kind of shooting that I love! Someday I hope to see you guys down there for a future shoot.

We have the moving truck showing up tomorrow so we'll most likely be on our way to Tennessee tomorrow night.

I somehow missed bigwakes's announcement that the 50 was going off. I was literally 4' away too. Scared the crap outta me. Was like standing next to a frag grenade minus the frag part.

was certainly not expecting it

I shouted going hot on the Barrett in both directions before firing. I guess I need an air horn like when they detonate explosives. May be just a suppressor.

Cyclops would be nice! I preoccupied with loading those 9mm stick mags with frozen fingers. Those things are hard to load in a warm environment.

The 50 seemed quieter standing beside it than standing behind it. That muzzle brake is a beast. I knew I should have bought that LC 50BMG ammo that palmetto had for $1.80 a rd a month ago. My wife was asking me about shooting it. She seems to have a thing for 50s.
