Well, I talked to the fellow this morning and he said he is down there every Saturday and anytime would be fine.
Let's get a consensus on a date and I will let him know and get directions, etc. We will be able to shoot out to about 500 yds.  Oh, this is in Walton County. |

I'd certainly be interested! 500yds would be a hoot, we'd need a car to check our targets!
I'd be in for anytime, just not in October. I'm going to Germany and Amsterdam then the ol family reunion after that in Enterprise AL. Tannerite ok? |

Well, everyone agree on a date, say 3 or 4 weeks advance, and I will let him know.
I will check on MGs and tannerite. It's in Walton County. |

August 28th?
The weekend after that is Labor Day weekend so the week before may be better for some. After that September 11th would be the next available weekend. I'm up for either one although I'd prefer Sept. 11th. since it may be cooler then. |

Get on US 78 or GA 316 and head west. It borders on Barrow. |

I spoke with the guy this evening. September 11 is a good date for him and I am going this Saturday to recon the area. I will give more details.
He said no to the MGs and tannerite. I tried to change his mind, but he feels that they would do too much damage to the property. Before people start bashing the guy, he is a great guy and I think he is being more than generous inviting us to shoot on his property. |

I will post directions later. I am going out there this weekend. Hours are up to you guys, he is there all day, sunrise to sunset, building a house. Lunch, again is up to you guys. I will see what is in the area. Maybe we can picnic or something like that.

Here are some pictures of where we would be shooting. We would be shooting down this road.
In the zoom shots, about halfway up the second rise would be 450 yards, according to my friend. Once we get ready to start shooting, the gate on the other side of that rise will be blocked, so everyone must be there before we start shooting. I checked it all out and a shot that even goes over that far rise will be well above anything and would wind up in the forest beyond. We need some tables and stuff like that. We need to set a definite time. We can all meet at the general store right there in Good Hope. The land is about 2 miles from there. I will post detailed directions later, but it is not bad for anyone east of town, a lot better than CE, for location and other things too.

Hell, I'm game. If its too far out of the way to go out to eat, how about a good ole barbecue while we are there. All we would have to do is for everyone to bring two things: one edible and one supply, ie some steak and napkins, or salad and plates, or any combination thereof. Between those of us going, we should be able to scrounge up enough grills, coolers, utensils, steaks, potatos, and fixin's to feed all of us as well as the land owner...just as a token of our appreciation

Sounds like a plan. Okay, who can bring what? |
|
|
|
|
Posted: 8/8/2004 8:05:03 PM EDT
[#41]
Well that depends on what all we want to eat. Do we want to go the burgers and hot dogs route with fries or go steaks and potatos? If we can come up with a semi-coherent menu, then it'll be easier to plan. Personally, I vote steak and potatos.
Lets get a roll call for 9/11/04 |

Anyone have a portable grill??
LarryG, thanks for setting this up. Just so I understand, we'll be shooting down a road on this guy's property (i.e. he owns it) towards the entrance of the property? It also appears there is no backstop. Is this correct? |

Yes, it is his property. We checked it out and any misses are going to clear anything and will hit the forest in the background. Besides, anyone who would miss that high at that distance needs glasses for sure. If you want to meet me one day, we can look it over. |
|

Posted: 8/9/2004 7:28:30 AM EDT

That might not hurt. I just want to make sure if anything is off target that we're not at risk of hitting something a mile or so down the road. It would suck for us all to get charged for one or two errant shots. It would suck BADLY for someone down the road to get hurt.
I'd feel better if we had some kind of backstop. But, it might be okay the way you are describing it. This sure will be fun. |

[#48]
Yeah, I would feel better if there is a big backstop also. Its not so much that I don't trust your judgement about the forest behind, its just that I've been in this situation before and don't really want to repeat it. A big backstop or some sort of berm would be good.
Oh, and I got a portable charcoal grill. It'll only handle around 6 steaks though, so someone else is going to have to bring one. |
|
|
|
Posted: 8/9/2004 10:01:45 AM EDT
[#49]
I say we hire some homeless street bums to be the backstop.
$5 for every bullet they catch.  It's time we gave back to the community.

If this is a place we could use from time to time, I would have no problem spending some time clearing out a real range on the land. Might even be able to get a Bobcat for a weekend.
