Are there still guys out there (especially relatively new guys) who don't know anyone else from the board.
I was kind of shocked when I found out that Steve/79Transam was from the next town over. he almost never comes on the regular board and I had not been on the equipment exchange much so I never knew he was there. Anyway are there guys out there who have still never been out shooting with us? Why not? |

I haven't yet, but I'm hopeing that once I have gainfull employment again, I will be able to make it to one of the Hun shoots up by Dallas, or at a range in Houston sometime.

Been shooting with DPeacher.
Ask him what he thinks about fire extinguishers [:D] |

Helldog40 just contacted me a few weeks ago and as soon as I get a chance(money is real tight right now) I really want to meet some people at Calverton or at the Huntington range. I think it would be great to meet some new people who have some of the same interests as I do.

... I live in Arizona, by God we always get together for shoots!
... For example, check out this [url=http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=13&t=169537&w=myTopicPop]"BLAST"[/url] coming up this Sunday. |

Just show up and look for the evil AK's, AR's, FAL's and such and you'll know its us! Just come on out, you won't regret it! |

I have gone shooting with Tony of Tromix fame and sometimes drink beer and link up belted ammo with him at his shop. I belong to Red Castle Gun Club outside of Tulsa so I probably have, just don't know of anyone else off of the top of my head.
|
|
I've been shooting with Bollocks.
Hope to shoot with more at the MO shoot, Bulletfest, and whatever else comes up. |

Yeah, been out with a bunch of folks from here. I've even met GoatBoy himself (he's really not as tall in person).

Quoted: I don't know anyone here. View Quote We can fix that in no time! My wife and I would be happy to have you stay here before the trek out to the Hun Farm. No spare bedroom but we've got a big comfortable couch (we call it the coma couch - as soon as you lay down, you're out). Or you can come down anytime we have an event around here. There must be at least one event each week where some of the DFW members are getting together. And if you can't make it, then I guess we'll wait until I can attend a refresher course up in your neck of the woods. |

Lemme see......
I use to live in SoCal and have shot with these guys [url]www.webshooters.org[/url] Who are also members of this board. I now live in TX and have met/shot with a ton of folks from this board. I have not shot with these folks, but I have met AAA in VA. Winston Wolf from AZ. EdSr, JLA, and Goatboy from NY. 1Gunrunner, Fijfi and JAFO for WA. If I had to estimate how many folks I have become acquinted with, face to face, from this board. I would say it is close to 200 folks. So if you guys are skidish about getting together for one reason or another, I can tell ya. These folks don't bite. If you guys ever visit a town, post it. Meet and have a beer with a member. |

If someone wants to go shooting in CT, I will be more than happy to go anytime.
|

I couldn't get off work to go to the BRC (and after reading about THAT, I'm eternally grateful); but I'd love to meet some of the fellas...
|

I always end up out shooting Trojanfan and citizensoldier..it is getting boring..I guess I do need to find some new blood.[rolleyes]

Hell yes Aimless, as a matter of fact I've shot with you! Also held you captive in the parking lot of the Camden Inn. Hope your Double w/Cheese didn't get tooooooo cold.
Beyond shooting with other members (shoot with DsrtEgl50 and Juggernaut on a regular basis) I also employ one (juggernaut). I've met tons of other members. Bought gear off of more and good old Tom Jefferson even came by Coal Creek Armory one day just to shake my hand. Oh, and Xanadu bought me lunch at Shoney's once. Nice guy, that Xanadu. |
|
I havn't met anyone here yet, but I want to. Oh yeah, and I'm scared to death to.
Is it a problem that I don't drink? That could be a reason. FWIW, I'm in N. Richland Hills (Fort Worth), Texas. |

I am shy.
I pledge to go out with them this year. They have a Colorado shoot every month. |

[banghead] Between work, a year old son and training dogs, I have hardly enough time to hug my wife, let alone my guns. Shoot, I have a few guns I have never even shot. I have shot with thedave1164 for a few minutes. Really nice guy, I wish we had more time to shoot. |
|
I'd love to go shooting with any of you guys, does the Tennessee crew ever get together? (I'm in the Nashville Area)
Anyone around here, feel free to IM me if something is going on. |
|
I haven't specifically went shooting with anyone from this board that I didn't know before I began posting here. I am aquainted with a few people here and have shot with them at Bulletfest and Tusco.
|
|
I have not been shooting with anyone here because I am a white trash wannabe and I don't want anyone to know it. While some of you might suspect, noone knows for sure as long as I don't6 meet anyone.
I have met Garry Owen, but he didn't know who I was. |
|
Because I can't hit a bull in the ass with a canoe paddle and don't want it spread all over the net by you gossippy bastards.

All right, first off I'm shy, I don't know them, I'm broke etc are not good reasons to be home fiddling with the computer instead of shooting with us. In addition to the guys from NY, I drove (that was a little dumb in retrospect) to Tennessee to go shooting with a bunch of the guys down there. I had not met ANY of them and I don't think I had even had much e-mail contact with them before hand.
They were the nicest, most pleasant bunch of guys that I have met. When we went out to eat Friday night I was treated as if we did that every friday together. Honestly I think more time was spend BSing than shooting by a lot of people. I don't think I actually saw Green_Furniture fire a shot, though he had really cool guns. He and Juggernaut were a riot, I'm going to have to make a trip out to their shop next time I'm in TN. I'm pissed that I missed out on two shoots this year already (the polar bear shoot due to weather and the NJ shoot because a tree crushed my car-pretty damn good excuse). If there is any chance you can get to Bulletfest you would be crazy not to go. If you are not meeting people and going shooting with them you are missing the most important part of this place |

I may have but not known it. Do any of you shoot near Oklahoma City?
|

Been shooting, traded guns with, gone fishing with, (boat's repaired guys, we need to go again) hunted turkey's with, and generally hung out with. I won't mention names, but Renee and Alexis at Penthouse Men's club wants to see us again. Great guys all.

Nope, never.
I'm afraid someone will bring a rifle with one of those evil bayonet lugs. They're really dangerous. rssc |

I don't shoot anywhere near those crazy assault rifle people....

As for shooting with fellow ARFComers, I nhave the distinct pleasure shooting with: Balzac72, Hoplite, Wave, green18 and a few others I don't know their screen names. I always have a blast and really enjoyed getting a Guiness to go from the local Hooters on my 19th birthday! Thanks guys, best birthday, ever! -934 |

A bunch of us get together pretty regularly here in South Florida.I'm not going to mention names to protect the innocent, but I do have to say that Steyr Aug is pretty scary in real life [;)]

I shoot alot in the summer. I dont go out of my way to meet people from this board to go shooting but I open the door. Maybe some of us think were all one of "those gun nuts". Needless to say Ive never met a fellow arfcommer.
