[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Hometown Meet & Greet Camping Trip Last weekendof April

Posted: 3/16/2017 10:27:10 PM EDT

Well my fellow Texas Arfcommers, I am planning another camping trip to my dad's place in Smithville April 27-30th. All are welcome to attend. I had a few Arfcommers out there last October and we had a blast shooting and hanging out by the campfire. I have a couple of tree stumps that need to be removed and have Tannerite for the job.

I would love to come out and actually hang out this time if I don't have any classes to teach that weekend.

My dad enjoyed having everyone come out last time. He said everyone is welcome.

Depending on my work trips I would like to come out.

The place is down in Smithville, Texas it is about 30 miles east of Austin. I'll IM the google earth location to anyone interested in going since his address does not match up with GPS.

I'd be interested, been wanting to go camping for a while, would probably get there late Friday.

I may be able to swing time off on this one.

Thanks for having the ARFcom gang back out again...

No problem, my dad really enjoyed having everyone out. I have hung out with several Arfommers at Cola Warrior. Always a great time. Think of this camping trip as a Mini-Cola Warrior without the pain.

They are most definitely welcome. I hear automatic fire out there at times.

Bump for anyone interested in going.

Maybe this time I can make it by

Gonna go ahead and bump this one up again see if anyone else is interested.

I may be forced to work OT on Sat so I may not be able to get there till Sat afternoon, still planning on making it though.

Perfectly fine. We will be there Thursday Friday Saturday and till Sunday afternoon. So you may be catching the last act of Lord of the Flies though.

Just wanted to make one more bump see if anyone else was interested in making it out this weekend.

I was planning on it but have LTC classes to teach Friday , Saturday and Sunday.

Hope you have good weather for it. We'll be at the Ride for Kids at Lake Conroe instead and see they are predicting rain there. I guess any time we get down that close to Houston, they are predicting rain.. Dated a gal from Smithville a million years ago and always enjoyed that area. Have fun!

Posted: 4/24/2017 5:09:10 PM EDT

I was planning on it myself, but family is coming to town from all over... So does not look like I'll get to play this weekend.

Posted: 4/25/2017 11:35:34 AM EDT

That's too bad you guys can't make it. I make a trip every April and October so there will be more opportunities for shenanigans.

Posted: 4/25/2017 6:37:34 PM EDT

It was fun last time. I've got to get new tires so I can't make it.

Damn that sucks, glad you got it back

Just made it here. To anyone that I sent the pinned location to just come on out. The cell phone signal is shitty back up at the campsite. When you get here just honk your horn and yell we'll be able to hear you.

Always luck

If you can cruse on over wjoutlaw's this weekend. Everyone I met out there last year was worth meeting.

Just got home from my fathers, other than being rained on last night, had a great time. @The_Hammer brought out his steel targets and we got to ring steel at night using my night vision and DBAL-i2. Made an impressive light show at night with the 5.56mm hitting steel. Good food good company and got some pistol practice in for the upcoming Cola Warrior competition this June. My brother brought his girlfriend out. I got to teach her a short little pistol class and by the end of her 1st mag she was ringing from 30 feet.

@wjoutlaw

Your going to cost me a LOT of money after that night shoot

I feel sorry for everyone who couldn't make it as they missed out on a great time. Hopefully I'll have more rifle targets and some fresh tannerite.

Posted: 5/2/2017 12:00:23 PM EDT

[#28]

There's just something badass about being able to hit your target in complete darkness. The cool factor is definitely off the charts!

Wish I could have made it. I would have brought out my PVS-14 and atpail-C. Night shooting steel is kick ass.

Find a place you can shoot at night and I can make that happen.

I've got NVS-14, pistols & rifles with IR lasers and thermal, all suppressed of course.

Ben,

I just built up a PVS 7, and have my laser now I just need to sight her in.

I really do not think there is anything more Merica then fullauto m16, supressed, night W/ IR laser and lights.

Night shoot at Ben's place coming soon.

If I can get the land owner to agree it will be near Gatesville. If its at my place I'll let you know in a year or two when I get things setup.

I will be doing another camping trip to my dad's in mid-October. Shooting at night and machine guns will be welcome. Still have most of that tannerite that was left with us.
