Heads up to anyone that tried to reach me via AR15.com email. Due to Yahoo's new procedure it won't reach me. IM instead.
May 11: The steel is all welded and painted. The plate rack is repaired. The shoot house is up as of 8:30 tonight. May 12th: Worked all day with my buddy Monty. There is now a new stage. Anyone that can legally and responsibly join us is welcome. My farm is in northern Gallatin Co. about 12 minutes from the 71-75 split. We start at 9:00 and go as long as you want, Plenty of room to camp if you want to shoot Sun. The new range location and jungle lane can be used for night shooting for those with flashlights or NVG. NFA okay but your paperwork should be in order. I try to accommodate all skill levels but it is difficult to work in a brand new shooter safely. Last year was Zombies. This year the back story is less detailed. Hopefully ammo availability will allow for a higher round count. My scenarios usually involve shoot/no shoot decision making, moving targets, pop ups, house clearing and this year a jungle lane Maybe, maybe not. This year I will also have the plate rack running. Feel free to set up challenge matches on the timer. Pack a lunch and hydration. Chairs a plus. Sunscreen, bug repellent, eyes, ears, hat, boots. I'll grill for dinner (You shoot to qualify. If you don't qualify dinner is a cheese sandwich). We'll be looking at scenarios that require pistol caliber, carbine, or combo. Nothing long range. Some motion targets. My steel is at shorter ranges and can't take hits from rifle rounds (AR400 ). There will be 9mm and 45 ACP carbines available to use (you provide ammo) or use your pistol, . There will be some scenarios where rifles calibers can be used but the reactive targets that activate pop ups can't handle it. Updated May 5th... You MUST bring: wrap around eye protection (we're shooting some steel) and ear protection for each member of you party. Recommended gear: Pistol with holster, spare mag and mag pouch. Rifle cal carbine with sling. Pistol cal carbine with sling.(or use mine, 9mm) .22 pistol and/or rifle for extra fun. Ammo. Boots or decent footwear, this is honey locust territory. Collapsible chairs. Cooler with drinks to hydrate. Sunscreen. Hat. Insect repellant (ticks). 4 wheel drive if you have it, to get to and from the range easier.(Shuttle available) If any one has a shot timer or stopwatch we could use a couple extras. Please make sure all firearms are sighted in, cleaned, lubed and in safe working order before you arrive. NFA III welcome. IM me for address. Make sure your paperwork is in order. As always make sure guns and ammo are transported in accordance with the law. The contact list so far.

Hey, what kind of event is this? Strictly a competition shoot or can any old grey haired gun guy come and hang out? I grew up in Boone Co and live just north of Cincy now so its a quick trip to get down there. I always enjoy meeting other arfcommers.

It's purely for fun. People get competitive at the plate rack. We usually run scenarios on a timer but that is just to create pressure.
There's no fee, no payout, Think of it as a challenge not a comp. I hope to meet you.- Mark "Anyone that can legally and responsibly join us is welcome." ETA: I'm about 30 min from the river. |

I plan on joining the fun again this year! Travel papers already submitted.

Hey, I spoke to my friend with the NFA goodies and he asked me to get your address too. I feel weird asking for it but I guess I'll need it eventually anyway. If you need my references I've been to other Ohio hometown events and can forward you some names so you can check us out.

:(... I miss all the fun. Im stuck in romania/bulgaria until the end of June.
|

It it stays on the 17th, I am likely out. If it pushes back to the 24th, then I am in.
The 17th is both the OGCA show and Hamvention. JLE |

It's very much most likely on the 17th. Once it's set up... grab some buddies and IM me. We shoot all summer.

Well, I've got a GSSF match the first weekend and a USPSA match the second. So, the two worst weekends of May are when they were planned

Looks like a blast. Would love to join and meet some good people but I will be moving to a new home then. Enjoy!

As much as you want. I'm still setting up and haven't finalized anything yet. We'll probably play with variations at each stage. 6 to 18 rounds per stage. 8 or 9 stages plus the plate rack... Whatcha saving it for?
|
|
Got screwed by work. I appreciate the reminder email and the invite.
|
|

Looks like the weather will cut us a break for Saturday. Not so much this week. It was pretty wet (I moved a snapping turtle off the range this morning.)Monty and I have been busting our asses in the mud and rain. We almost got 'er done. I'll be back down there tomorrow at 5:30 AM fixing a flat on the mower, putting up targets, running ropes and moving stuff.
See you guys at 9:00 AM. |
