all,

we have a date for the spring build clinic and shoot. SATURDAY April 28th @ 8am...

- we can build, shoot, and all points in between. for those who want to build, we'll start early and that way a good portion of the day can be used for shooting, talking gear, trying each other's stuff on, etc.
- we'll have armorers onsite to help you build.
- like the last time, buying, selling, trading, etc. are all acceptable. you can horse trade all day with one another as far as i care... all transactions and actions will be kept within the law or your ass is gone.
- i'll have steel targets and such for shooting and we can shoot just about any kind of firearm - pistol, rifle, shotgun are all welcome... i even have a sit down twin clay pidgeon thrower. if you guys want to do some of that, let me know in this thread...
- high velocity ltd will be there with some NFA stuff as well as the controlled chaos arms collection - NFA rentals will be available as such

here is the run down:

-let me know in this thread what you want to build/cover and we'll try and cater to it - carbine, SPR, varminters, precision builds, etc.
-potluck lunch - post here what you can bring and we'll make a go of it together
-builders, spectators, shooters are welcome as long as you're safe and respectful
-i'll have some nametags to fill out for folks (i can generally remember people's names or handle, but rarely both and never at the right time... maybe this'll help)
-provide me a headcount by hitting the thread so i can be prepared
-liability waivers will be required to participate
-come expecting fun...

we're adding this to the day again this time:

dave came up with a really good suggestion for an informal and cheap competition that will double as a fund raiser... we're going to give it a whirl...

RIMFIRE comp... we'll use the 50 yard range and have five little self resetting targets for you to shoot close, then at intermediate range we'll have three more at roughly 3" size, and then at the 50 yard mark we'll have two more (open sights or unmagnified optics shooting large steel plates roughly 7" and those weapons with magnified optics shooting something a tad less than half that size at roughly 3")...

10 total steel targets. 10 total rounds. timed - failures can be cleared and you can continue, but the timer remains running. timer starts upon your first shot down range. $1 per run. unlimited runs - if a line exists, you'll need to move to the back for your next run. best ratio of hits/time wins the pot. the winner of the pot chooses the organization or charity they wish to give the winnings to...

this will be cheap and easy for everyone to participate and have some fun. proceeds will benefit some great orgs!

i'll make a couple of my 22 weapons available for people to borrow if they need them. i have a dedicated AR15 in 22LR, and several 22 pistols. i also have some ciener conversion kits for AR15s some can borrow and try if they need or want them as well.

if you choose to use some of my stuff or borrow someone elses, just be sure and bring some quality 22LR ammo to utilize...



THERE IS NO RAIN DAY - we'll be here rain or shine

idk thats the weekend before finals, so idk if I will be able to make it.

This time I will be there and I'll bring along my rifle that I would like painted.

You sir are a big PUSSY!

I AM IN!!!

And, I gave a preliminary count because I have some "new shooters" to bring - I will advise if any can't attend.

My nephew came with me time before last and REALLY had a blast shooting the AK's. And friend of mine came and put an optic on a new AR build and did some shooting as well.

The new guys are my branch manager and sales manager who have done quite a bit of shooting, but have only recently applied for PCW's. My office manager is in the market for his first handgun.

I have been working to "educate' all of them.

CAN'T WAIT!

And this is the reason your puny resistance will ALWAYS fail

Man, I swear if I ever hear you say kids these days are lazy...

You're OK Joel.........you actually take a beating really well.

Not sure it'll be worth it if I don't have to drive for two and a half hours at 50mph through a bunch of snow... lol.

I think I'll shoot more this time around, and take a few less pictures. Maybe I'll get to do more than a couple of runs on the rimfire comp. :)

Also - I'll bring my Ruger LC9 filled with Galloway Precision goodies if anyone wants to try it.

bring what you have. it'll work.

I'm really looking forward to one of these but of course I have to work.

LOL... was this meant to be in response to the .22/.17 question...?

As posted, if you guys need anything specifically done or a specific repair part, please post it up here so one of us can try to have it available.

Thanks for the reminder Joe!!!!
