Just a chance for us locals to get together and have the spot to ourselves. Bring your own toys and targets. People do bring full auto. Good laughs and great fun.

Sad, I very much dislike rules that punish everyone for the bad action of one person. They could easily say
that it is ok in the original container.

Have you had any trigger follow?

Posted: 5/19/2017 6:14:56 AM EDT

[#32]

From all my research on that trigger it's impossible to get trigger follow. He stated he just got and this will be his first real shoot of the trigger other than a few rds in his back yard. Imagine he will give it a work over at the shoot. But yeah from everything I've read and watched they did say that it did not have trigger follow. That you had to pace your finger. It would only fire so fast.

I've been looking at this trigger or the binary 2 trigger for my sbr

Had a great time guys. It was really great to see everyone. Other than the interruptions we kept getting and the B.S. stories

they feed us. Hat's off to our R.O. he handled the Manatee gun club staff very well.

I can't wait to see you guys again. I'll have a binary trigger next time

Maybe not at manatee gun club. I have a feeling they don't like us.

There was an Appleseed event in the next range over. Supposedly, our bullets were bouncing into their range and someone got hit in the shoulder.

Someone will fill you better than I can. But they were just looking for an excuse to close us down . How many years have we been doing shoots there. YEARSSSS but with this new management. I don't know what's going on.

I was even a little ticked at my buddy that works there as an RO sometime pulling up back there. He did not know I was there. He came back there to spy and see if he could if we were doing anything wrong. So they could kick us out. I going to have a word with him over that.

This new management did a hostile take over from the old management. It was a mess. A lot of people up and quit. A bunch of retirees from up north moved down and thought they could do a better job. They do not like so called assault rifles either. Today was a prime example of that. I guess they did not like the way we dressed and looked either.

That one F I wanted to pop the way he stomped in looking for a reason to shut us down. But yeah, they kept coming back. Before we even started shooting during lunch. At the end I just left.

I just knew that after we started shooting they'd be right back out there. Saying we did this or that. I wish we had a bunch of blanks and shot them and had them say we did something.

But maybe they left everyone alone after I left. Maybe.....
