Provided I don't have to work. Got the rotation thing on Sundays too. But this is enough advance notice that I can request off. |

I'll have to check my schedule (& wifes schedule for me) to see if me and the WOMBAAT can make it. Don't know what I'd take to shoot since there's no Class III allowed...damn DNR range!

I thought someone should warn you that the Black Flies, AKA Buffalo Gnats, are terrible out there.
They are attracted to you, get in your hair, in your face, under your shirt, etc. They bite hard, draw blood, and if you are like most people, you will itch and swell up like it was a mosquito. These bastards are thick right now for some reason. Time of day doesn't seem to matter. If you can see well enough to shoot, they can see well enough to bite. And no bug spray deters them. Not even DEET. I won't be going back to Princeton until late fall after the frost has slowed them down. |

Another good bug repelant is Skin-So-Soft bath oil. You get from the AVON lady. Great stuff. We used on out last fishing trip down to Lake Belva Deer and it kept the nats away pretty good

I was out there Saturday, didn't see any bugs. They are out there, but I've never had a problem with just using bug spray. As far as the shoot... I really enjoyed the last one, but I am going to be out of town that weekend. You guys have fun! |

The bugs can be very bad on some days and other days their not there. For some strange reason I'm there 1-3 times a week.
Wed. evening hardly noticed them.I was using the Deet 100% and it didn't help much but the cigars will chase them away. Will be trying a few of the other items mentioned. If we can find any .50 bmg ammo would be happy to bring one out. Also if anyone want to try out a some differnt AKs (Pistols 9" barrel, AMD65 and Romainian). Can bring drums if you want to try them too. Will have some ammo but if you want to shoot them a lot bring some ammo to make sure you get a turn. |

I hope to be in good enough shape by then. Finally had my surgery the 30th and still am not very spry yet. Be about another week before I am able to do much of anything. Gumballs off golf tees at 100. I have a load for my 20" SS that may be up to the task. |

Iron Sights? I couldn't see 'em at 100 if they were filled with uranium and it was night time. Sounds like a challenge. Maybe someone (with more graphic artist creativity) can make up a 'bragging rights' award for the winner. |

Bionic...
No can do on a lower. Three to four months out on a stripped lower, and Illinois 24hr wait once approved (long gun, even if just receiver). You still might consider coming to town for the weekend, however. Lots to do in the QC area every weekend (from Memorial Day through Labor Day in particular). The shoot looks like its scheduled early enough that you could aprticipate and still make it home at a reasonable time Sunday afternoon/evening. Steve/RRA |

Does that apply to Iowa residence with a pistol purchase permit? (those permits allow us to walk out with rifle/pistol the same day it is purchased) |

from my experience no. I bought a pistol in IL and just had to have it transfered into IA. No 24 hour wait when i did it.

I'm an Iowa FFL and it could be transfered to me, then form 4473 to BionicSniper. If that would help out.

I am scheduled to be off that weekend. The last one was fun. Our new plant is starting up, so lots of OT.
Gumballs off golf tees. Hmm. I got a scope, a 20" varmint upper(un-used), and a RRA 2 stage trigger from White Oak. All this needs to be put together into one gun. Probably my Hesse Dispatcher, just because it will freak people out. Maybe I will even clean the Kimber so it will function better. Hope to be there. Scott |

Range Report from my point of view.
I came unprepared. Forgot the sun screen, so we left early because my wife and I were getting burned. We normally go in the evening, so the sun isn't usually an issue. Forgot to bring something to drink. Bright sun made me hot and thirsty. Lots of great people came out. Not nearly enough wandered over to shoot the AR-50. Those that did seemed to like it. I felt out of place because I didn't know anyone. And I had no way of knowing who was a member here. I wish I had taken a pic of the guy who parked his rock crawler Jeep CJ on the boulder. I thought it was awesome, but the County Cop thought otherwise and kicked him out. I thought that was a little extreme, but at least he wasn't issued a ticket. A DNR officer showed up and lectured everyone on keeping the range safe/clean. He claims there are some changes on the way. (believe it when I see it) Eventually having a concession area, a place where you can buy snacks and targets. Eventually installing trap throwers. Eventually having a dumpster for trash. Stronger enforcement of the DNR rules regarding the types of targets allowed. Clay pigeons, paper targets, and steel silhouettes ONLY. Soooo... I put my Tannerite away. Hope the two I shot didn't offend anyone out there, but Tannerite is safe, fun, and everyone should try it at least once. Next time we do this, someone should be designated "point of contact". Let everyone know how to identify him, so when we show up we know who to approach first so we can be properly introduced to everyone. Oh yea, and some jerk-wad ass-hat showed up with his little boy and started picking up Joe's (custom concepts) brass. Joe stood there for a minute with a look of utter disbelief before telling the guy to shove off. I couldn't tell if the guy was looking for a fight, or having trouble wrapping his brain around what Joe was saying, but he sure acted like he thought the brass was fair game. He finally backed down, got in his truck, and left. Oh yea, another new rule per the DNR officer: Pick up your spent brass. I'm sure there are a LOT more comments than just mine, but I happen to be the only one who has taken time to type them out so far. |
