Putting it out there for another AL/TN Get Together.  Tentative schedule would be Sat./Sun April 17 & 18 (the week after Knob Creek MG Shoot).  Location would be near the intersection of I-65 and the AL/TN border.

The last one we had was Oct. 2019; the planned event for April 2020 was canceled due to the Scamdemic.  The 2019 event was hampered by a death in the neighborhood and it cut short the festivities by quite a bit.  

Participants at the 2019 event included:

@Pangea
@TN-MadDog (had to cancel)
QCMGR
@axl (had to cancel)
@pukindog

I can't get into the archives to C&P all the info and I really, really do not have to create all that info again - is there a way to access the Hometown Archives?

Canceled:  I and my wife are sick.

@arowneragain
@Ironhandjohn
@Sivispacem   (I think that's right, someone correct me if I'm wrong)
@BobCole
@TnRedneck

I'd love to.

Some pics of the 2019 event:

Background info and rules:

Property Rules:

   1.   The house is off limits.  There will be a porta-potty set up.
   2.   Driving around the property during shooting hours (10 AM  4 PM) is prohibited except between the two firing lines. Travelers will take a specific route to/from the lower range/main venue area.  This is to ensure travelers don't inadvertently wander into potential bullet impact areas.  The Lower Field/Range may be inaccessible during or after bad weather.  4x4's only for the Lower Field.
   3.   This is a potluck event.  Host and Owner will provide BBQ and baked beans and the dinner essentials (paper plates, forks, condiments etc.).  Participants are invited to bring any dish or anything else they would like to bring, but it's not mandatory.
   4.   Host and Owner will have a basic selection of beer on hand. How long it lasts will depend on the number of participants. Participants are free to bring their beverage of choice.  There will be plenty of bottled water available.
   5.   Camping allowed for both Friday and Saturday nights by reservation only.  Potable water is available (from a spigot), but no electricity.  No camp fires permitted in the camping area, but you are invited to use the main venue camp fire and ring.
   6.   Participants can come to the shoot (10-4), the Happy Hour (4- ) or just the BBQ (6-ish) as their schedule allows.  Depending on weather, we may have a bonfire after the BBQ.



Shooting Restrictions:

   1.   Shooters may not consume alcoholic beverages and/or drugs or be under their influence at the firing line(s).
   2.   No shooting over berms and/or back stops.
   3.   No shooting at Wildlife.
   4.   No fully auto fire or bumpfire allowed  this is an aimed fire event.

   6.   No disruptive activities, such as music or unsupervised children and/or pets near the firing line(s).
   7.   All weapons must be cleared, preferably with an Empty Chamber Indicator flag inserted, and no magazine when not on the firing line under a Hot Range condition.

   9.   All Licensed Carry Individuals must keep their sidearms holstered at all times.
   10. All fire is to be directed towards paper or metal targets specifically provided for such and located at the back stops.  Firing at trash, debris, trees or anything else is prohibited.
   11. Ear and Eye protection required any time on the firing line(s).  The upper firing line is near the venue area, so ear protection is required there during shooting hours.

thanks for the notice. Really would like to go.

I will try my best to be there again.

I have a commitment that Saturday morning but could probably be there by early afternoon.

I'll firm up my plans when it gets closer but will try to be there.

I’d like to come, work permitting.

For those of us whom haven't been, WHERE is it??????  

“Location would be near the intersection of I-65 and the AL/TN border.”

Sounds like fun. Is this in TN or AL? need to know if I will be able to bring SBRs

TN

Never mind. I'm busy that day.

Yep, about 10 miles north of the border.  Which day?  I'm hearing rumors of a family event on Sun.; may have to cancel that day and make it a one day event.  Still would have BBQ and beer after the shooting.

I hope you could make it!

Would like to come. Checked with offspringy and she's up for it too.
I think it's a great idea, even though I'm not the social type.
Any chance of bringing well-behaved 4 legged cohort?

Would my 12 cats approve?

PM sent.

Anyone else interested?

It sounds like fun but I do work occasional Saturdays with little advance notice. Pencil me in for ‘maybe’.

Sounds like a good time. Put me down for a possible maybe.

Could you PM me the details?

Got it.  I'll send out invites just before the event.

LMK if anyone wants to camp over night.  Right now, we're going with a one day event, but overnight camping is OK.

IN!

Please PM details!

I would be down but will be traveling back from CW that day....

I'm thinking about camping overnight.

I hadn't even looked, is Spring Shoot at the Creek happening this year?

Edit- I just looked, it's not. Next one is Fall Shoot in October.

I'm a definite maybe.

Rough, camper or RV?

I scheduled this for the week after the - normally - scheduled KCR Spring Shoot dates.  Sorry to hear this SS has been canceled.

Tent camper

GTG then, it will fit down the road.

Reminder: no power, water out of a hydrant.

I'd love to come down if you'll have me

would love to come but it is wifes Bday....

Happy Wife, Happy Life!

@Merlin

It's looking like you can add my name to the list..... If all holds well & I expect it will,
Monday or Tuesday will be the final confirmation that I get a job near Pulaski &
Spring Hill. We will be 3 hardcore conservatives escaping communist VA. I will revisit
this thread in a couple of days to update y'all.

Ha !!! Got it :) I will have to change my state to TN & celebrate Freeeeeeeeeedoooommmmm !!!
See y'all on the 17th :)



Attached File

"Pulaski & Spring Hill" - near the Milky Way farm?

Totally unrelated, but I heard a rumor today that Milky Way was possibly getting ready to start doing tours of the old farm.

Not much to tour, you can drive around the farm pretty much any time you want; I've done it at least twice.  Maybe it gets you a tour of the big house.  It was a subject of the TN Crossroads YT channel a couple years ago:

looking forward to it - plan on bringing a small camper and showing up Friday. That way I could help with set up and cooking.

Milky Way? Hmmm... Haven't heard of that one yet.... I think I'll be living out of
a Motel 6 or some roach hotel for the first couple of weeks.

I was thru Shelbyville & Bell Buckle & Wartrace back in the early '90s. I think I swung thru
the Lynchburg area on one of those jaunts back then. I spent a week at the Racking Horse
Summer Celebration in Shelbyville; dadgone if that wasn't the hottest danged place I had ever
been.... The heat hurt my eyes so much I got a headache. I think yall's humidity up there in
that neck of the woods is worse than the South Georgia humidity.

Well, I’m out. My company can’t decide if I am going to have to work overtime this week.

Let's talk about food. What would be good to bring?

Unfortunately, I'm gong to have to cancel this event.  I've been sick since Saturday, just getting over it, but now my wife has it.  As usual, it's hit her harder than it did me.  Sore throat, coughing, aches and pains, standard crap.

Sorry for the late notice.

Dang...

Hope you are both OK. That would be the important thing.

sorry to hear, hope you get to feeling better

I had some allergies hit pretty hard a few days back...before that a friend got sick pretty good then another friend has similar symptoms...I lucked out I guess. Allegra, Sudafed on occasion is what somewhat helped me

Dang. I hope you guys get to feeling better, and soon.

I was genuinely looking forward to this and hope you (or someone) can put together something similar in the near future.

Sorry to hear that y’all are under the weather. Hope you and your wife get better soon.
