March was a success with pics of a little AROCK fun. 
It was a little rainy, but that didnt stop us from blasting some ammo and meeting local Arfcommers. Feel free to post on here when you guys wanna meet up. I'll post it in the headline. |

| Actually, thats a pretty good idea. Give us a chance to get to know each other away from the innernets. I live in Roanoke and am a member at RRRC, but always open to meeting fellow Arfcommers! |

well, as i said, im in iraq till end of october. but if you guys would like to meet in september, im sure a weekend would work best. does anyone prefer a saturday or sunday? beginning, middle or end of month?
and if anyone would like to volunteer to help organize, you are more than welcome. also, if anyone has private land or range, mite be easier than the public bburg range. if not, its still free. just let me know if any of you gentleman have any ideas or suggestions, as i am new to the idea as well. Thanks, Joe |

if you guys wanna get together this month, just post on here what day might be best. what weekend and whether it be a sat or sun?
again, still in iraq, so i wont be able to attend. and feel free to invite others who shoot and may not be on here. whats the range like at craig county? is it just as nice but less populated? |

We should have a monthly wing and beer night. Sharkeys for the WIN! 
sounds good. anyone have a night they would prefer? and does everyone know where it is? it seems that since tech football season is in swing, maybe a weekday would work? i am lookin at their schedule, and they have a home game on the 12th. would you guys wanna meet up the nite before on 9/11? food, drinks, meet and greet? friday evening sharkeys or BBW? or the sunday after the game? here is a link to their schedule: Hokie Football |

Tues, the 15th? Again, i wont be able to attend till November, but its mid month, mid week, so yeah. and would you wanna meet up for a shoot as well that same day? im not sure when dusk sets in there however. |

| I would suggest Bull and Bones to you, they make their own beer which I think is pretty good personally, the wings put BWW to shame, and you can play free pool Mon-Wed after 11 PM. It should be a good place to go if you want to watch sports, too. I honestly love the place, it's a little more grown up than the college spots. |

Lets make the best out of this and set an example for other areas. I have never been to Bull and Bones, but home brewed beer sure sounds nice! Tues the 15th? Bull and Bones? |

ESSAYONS

but yeah, i think two or three ppl said they could make it so far for tuesday nite. and idk about range meet yet. if you wanna chime in tho and try to organize something, by all means. im a million miles away right now brother. |

wish i could go , i used to work at rivermill bartedning and used to go to that range all the time. Great place! is rivermill still there? last time we went to that range we brought 3 ars 2 aks and a g3 and and about 8 pistols and some fud called the sherrif saying we had machine guns ... he showed up and check them all then asked why we needed them , then proceeded to shoot the G3 for mag or 2

So its been a while, and i guess a September meet fell through.  But its that time and I was posting again to see if anyone wanted to meet up in October. Tech has an away game on the 17th, so that may be a good date have such an event if anyone is free.
Still, I'm in Iraq and wont be back till the last weekend in October and have much when I get home. But i will deffinately be down for a weekend in November. I would like to meet anyone willing to go shooting on a weekend or weekday. Also, if you guys would like, IM me your emails if that would be a better way to contact you and i can maybe start a newsletter or something with a community email list to contact anyone interested. Just please don't let this die, I think it still has a lot of good potential! |

Well, thats one in on a group shoot.
October 17th... Anyone else still interested? Hutch, Turbo, Matt, McCraw, 6gun?  Let's set a trend here!
I may be able to attend in November, either the weekend of the 21-22 or 28-29. Check your november calendar, I will finally be home and ready to hit the range.
