Count me in brother!
Love that pizza, but for whatever reason it just doesn't taste the same when I get it for carry out. I'm in Hoover and usually go to the free local Helena Cahaba River WMA shooting range that is now being run by ROs, and has been cleaned completely up. They are closed for whatever reasons on Mondays, and Tuesdays. The range also closes at 4pm this time of year. Either way, I think it's a great idea to organize something like this. |

Madison county here, with enough notice, I'd make the trek down that way for a meet and greet. Always good to have a reason to get rid of a few hundred rounds

I think the Helena Cahaba River WMA free public range is a great place, and other than the 25yd indoor range at Hoover Tactical, it's prob. the closest range to Mtn. Brook.
As far as NFA smile makers goes, I'm sure suppressors are GTG, and have never seen any posted rules saying no happy switches. It is run now by RSOs. |

Hoover Tactical is owned by an Arfcommer, isn't it?
Maybe we should contact him and ask for advice. Does anyone know him/his username? Thanks |

Thank you, Popsmurf/Saxplayer,
Guys? what date works for everyone? December is here quickly. I'm thinking December 8th or 15th. The following weekend is too close to Christmas. Meet at Hoover Tactical at 10AM, shoot until 12:00PM and then get lunch at Davenports. |

I vote for the 15th, as the 8th is the WWII vintage gun event at the TMP where you compete using carbines, Garands, 1911s, etc.
Nice to see the owner of HTF weighing in....I was friends with the first owner's son while at Auburn I believe. |

Hi guys,
A big thanks to Popsmrf & Notso for helping to arrange this. Popsmrf/Notso/HTF have graciously reserved 6 lanes and are opening the facility to us at 8:30AM. Range fees, ammo etc are all to be paid individually by each member. We can sort that out with them at the time. I’ll go ahead and call Davenports today and let them know we will be descending upon them at 12ish. I’ll set the reservation at 10 people, if we have more we can just add chairs. It’ll be great to see everyone. If you have any questions just let me know. Thanks! |

Ya'll had me at Davenports and Cahaba WMA, but lost me at HTF.
Nothing against them as I have only had good experiences there, but I only use there range for pistol shooting - not a big fan of shooting rifles at 25yds. But, if you want to use your happy switches the WMA isn't the place to go. Every time I have been out there the RSOs have gotten on to people shooting rapid fire. |

Yeah we will have to set up a day for a WMA shoot.
I wasn't aware HTF also had a 50yrd range, so that makes it a better choice than I initially thought, but with Christmas right around the corner I just don't think I'll be able to afford Davenport's, range-fees, and plinking ammo. I'll be around for the next social shoot though |

I need to zero in a new rifle and patrol optic. It's pretty much just out of the gunsmith's hands. I haven't had any time to zero it. If one of you guys could help me do that, I'd be -greatly- appreciative - your lunch is on me and you'll have my never-ending gratitude.
If HTF has good mags for sale, I'm going to pick up a few for my new AR. I bought a really nice soft-sided case for it at Marks Outdoors the other day. |
