Juggernaut and xanadu will be there, as will some of the TN crowd on Ass. Web.
I'm bringing some very shootable things-both to shoot with and at, so be there. Juggernaut |

I will most likely be there, but I need directions. I will be coming from Florence,AL and can follow the map to Bruceton, but once I get there I have no idea where to go. Another thing--are these sand pits private land that we have permission to shoot--I dont wanna drive two hours and be told we cant shoot there. One other question, is this going to be family friendly, I may have my mother and sister with me and I would like to not have them hear any foul language or jokes. Thanks, this sounds like it will be a fun shoot.

imbrog- will we be graced with your presence?! wow...
i am really looking forward to this! and reverend, have no fear, i think we can all be respectful of everyone in attendance. coming up from alabama? nice drive... basically, you take highway 70 into bruceton, and it is the main drag in town. if you are coming in on 70 west, there will be an exxon on the left, coming in on 70 east, it will be on the right (but, then, that stands to reason...). thinking about rendezvous there at 11:00 am? this land is technically private, but public usage. i have been shooting there on three or four occasions with no problems with groups ranging from three to thirty. it is a great spot! for some pics of it- check out the old TBRG website, which has pics from the memorial day shoot... [url]http://www.geocities.com/yosemite/campground/4785/TBRG/TBRG.html[/url] dont know what happened to pics of the independence day shoot... oh well... oh yeah, folks coming from the memphis area and other points west will meet at the luv's truck stop at exit 87 on I40. you guys let me know if you need anything, and feel free to drop me a line if there are any questions... looking forward to seeing you there! |

Hank, your email is not working. I am going to try and make the shoot, but if I am not able to meet you at 11am for some reason, do you have a cell # or some other way I can get in touch with you. Email me at [email protected] I will be leaving FL today at 2pm, but once I get to AL I will have access to email. Thanks.

Hank, no email yet. It probably wont matter though, my 87year old grandmother has gotten very sick so I probably will not make it. Maybe next time. I was really looking forward to it. Thanks.

Quoted: Sorry, but Imbro is just bsing you. He says that often on topics like these. i figured about as much... not like he would really show his face in public anyway, for fear [b]womenz[/b] may be watching! [:D] and anyone in the tennessee area should come shooting if they get the chance... rumors of a 50 cal showing up! JUGGERNAUT- you and xanadu showing up at the 2nd rendezvous (exxon in bruceton)? |

Hello all.
I will rendevous at the Luvs truck stop (exit 87) on I-40 tomorrow at 10:00. Still driving the green/tan 98 Ford F-150 Extd cab w/ possible 4 wheeler in tow. Does anyone know weather reports at this point? I will try to check local forecast to get better determination. Will stay in contact via this thread. |

Okay....weatherbug forecast shows rain/thunderstoms likely tomorrow with approx. 70% chance of occurance, high near 60.
National and regional radar do not show any significant systems headed our way but some isolated storms do seem to be generating in the center of the country.....who knows. |

"Mostly cloudy and windy with thunderstorms - some with large hail or damaging winds. High around 72F. Winds S 25 to 35 mph with higher gusts. Chance of precipitation 60%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch. Higher amounts possible in some storms." what do you all think- if you all want to cancel, i can understand... post! |

A chance is, at best, only that I suppose.
Today, in my area only a few sprinkles fell certainly nothing that hindered any plans. I say we get up tomorrow and, as it was during our Memorial day shoot....wait and see what mother nature dishes out. I can stand a little drizzle.............downpours and lightning do nothing for me. Monitor and stay in contact until then. And the rest of ye say? |

guys- let me know what you want to do. i will try to stay up and keep up with the thread, but if i go to sleep, i will be up at seven and checking the boards. post what you want to do, i am game either way.
pro of waiting- maybe better weather con of waiting- maybe colder'n'a witch;s tit in a brass bra... pro of going now- get to shoot now! con of going now- risk bad weather (dont wanna travel for nothing), not a lot of people seem to be keeping up with this thread now. give it some thought... i will be back later... |

well, dammit, i came to the conclusion finally that i am out. i think the weather will be bad and i dont want people to have to drive a good way (i know the duo of juggs and xany are coming from knoxville). lets hold off on this one for a week or two and get more planned- new post to come.
please post that you guys have gotten this, and i will get back intouch with you... take care, guys... |

Received Hans. Spose I am out as well.
Bad storms went through my area around 5:00 this am and it is raining and cold right now. From the sound of things on Ch. 7 out of Jackson there have been flooding/severe storm problems in Henry county, also south of Paris and all up in that general direction. Rain was one thing in May. I agree it is colder in November. I am always up for a screwed up adventure but agree that for the guys traveling considerably farther, that it would probably be better to wait a few weeks. I work next week-end but am off the following FWIW. Tornado watches still in effect in many areas for the day. Mississippi was hit real hard in some places w/ tornados and my brother and his wife and new baby are in that area right now visiting his in-laws. Another day sounds proper. Will stay in contact throughout the morning. |

Right now local radar shows a severe line of thunderstorms covering the entire width of the state from a line SE of Memphis up to and beyond Fort Campbell KY. Basically traveling NE up the I-40 corridor...right throught the area we would be shooting in. There are currently no additional systems west/sw of Tennessee that pose a current threat but a system could develop rather quickly I suppose.
I agree that a better day must surely be looming out there somewhere. |
