Since our last scheduled shoot was "indirectly cancelled" by Hurricane Wilma and so many that were going to come cancelled at the last minute due to it, Jeff and I decided that it would be a good idea to reschedule it for a closer date.

I know that this date coming up is so close however we feel that it can make up for the last one that everyone was "supposedly" prepared for.  Look at the dates and hope to see you all there!

I'll be there, but I'll have to skip on the dinner. No point in traveling 200 miles on Sat and doing it again on SUNDAY.

Can't wait

I'm going to try to make it down for the first time.  I have to get ahold of my sister and make sure it is cool for me to crash at her place that weekend.  If not I will probably still travel down for the shoot.

I'm excited to hear you're BOTH coming again this time!

On a more serious note...

Most of us are aware of the theft that went on at the FDCC Shoot not to long ago and I myself just finished reading the whole thread thoroughly.  If you haven't taken the time to read it, I strongly recommend that you do.  It both saddens me that someone would have the gall to do such a thing; and at the same time I'm enraged!  Yet I've learned a lesson and hope to apply it to our future shoots.

I've reviewed our past shoots in my mind and I do remember on several occasions when many of us (myself included) have had our backs turned, even all of us in the parking lot taking a group picture, with all of our guns on the table.  Mind you a total of tens of thousands of dollars of equipment.  I want to put a precaution for those of you who plan on attending either this or our future shoots.

Please be responsible for your own equipment.  Keep a constant eye on your equipment, or, if you must walk away, asking another ARFCOMer to watch it for you.  I'm sure they'd be more than glad to put your stuff in their trunk and drive off when you're going to the bathroom.  LOL  j/k  In all seriousness, we need to look out for ourselves and for each other when we're at these shoots.  

Just a few extra precautions can result in a very good experience for everyone.

From Tallahassee.  If my sister has something going on that weekend, I might go crash in tampa and then ride down from there on Satuday night and Sunday.

So at the "last shoot" my little sister Jaquelinn was there.  The next one my little brother Joe (25-years old) is coming.  He's moving down from Oregon on Wednesday and I already have him committed to coming.  He's bringing his AR-15 Wannabe Paintball Gun.  Yall will get a kick out of it.  He needs to be converted to the dark side gentlemen! I trust you'll help me convince him that a REAL AR is the route he needs to go.

Now to make fun of my little brother before he gets here.  He has these whacked out pictures he took of himself.  I'm cruel therefore I post...

..

Who in the hell my brother thinks he is in these photos is beyond me, let alone why he would have these taken.  

No he's not gay... I think...

Tom ask your brother how the homosexual lifestyle is.  He'll probably tell you it's a pain in the ass though.
 Please inform him this is a gun range where people shoot actual firearms. There is an indoor paintball place in ft myers. perhaps you could drop him off prior to the event so he can run around with the rest of 12 y/os while the grown ups get together.
