The_End has accomplished a successful scout of a good location for an Eastside Shoot. The location is in the Spokane area, out past 9 Mile Falls on Hwy 291. (The location itself is actually in Stevens Co., on Jergens Rd. I'm proposing the dates for the shoot to be Oct 21-23. I could link up with anyone who cares to on Fri afternoon in the parking lot of the Burger King at the Five Mile shopping center, adjacent to Ash St and W. Francis Ave. I wouldn't recommend leaving a car there overnight, but there is a location closer to the shoot which I'd say will do just fine. Who's up for this?

That's fine, and I understand- We here on the Eastside won't disparage anyone for not driving over here to shoot/meet&greet...unlike "other" geographically centered WARFCOMmers. No big deal, there'll be other shoots, provided this works out OK. I'll go as far to say that we won't even consider printing up t-shirts over being butt-hurt about the lack of attendance  .CavVet- Household six came up with a litany of reasons for my presence to be required at home, she even made a fairly convincing arguement, which culminated with the fact I now have a kitchen pass allowing me to attend the next LCR of my choosing. Sometimes you have give to get  .

Non-four wheel drive vehicles, yes. I wouldn't take a bike on it though. The dirt roads are pretty banged up but as long as you're not trying to take a lowered sport compact, any mid-sized car and up should be fine at low speeds. The only range I shot at was 100meters and marked off but I'm going back tomorrow if I can't find anything better to do with my afternoon and I'll scout out some long range stuff. Maybe Matt knows of something already. Lee |
You know how that boy thinks, if it's not within piss length distance of the Idaho state line in Matts "mind" it's the coast.
I make no promises that the LCR you choose to attend will be as packed with hilarity and drama as this one was. Of course it may rain all over you too. |
. Anything West of Moses Hole starts to reek of saltwater to me .
I expect niether hilarity nor clear skies. As far as I'm concerned you're not really on the coast unless it's raining. 'Sides that, some of you dudes behind enemy lines are waaaaaaaaay to serious.

Do want this one tacked Matt45, or are you gonna prefer to have an RSVP thread once the date is decided? (thanks for the heads up Jafo!) |

this Will Parks? is he a member here? why would that be a concern? |

OdT- Thanks, look for IM. OK, Oct 28-30, Halloween is out for me too (I thought it was the 27th or some nonsense, and I do have two little ones I've never taken trick or treating...) Nov 4-6...Drill weekend  .Nov 11-13....I ain't got no crysteel ball...I'm sure there's some malfunction with that too  .Looks like I'm reduced to Oct 21-23, or sometime after Jan 1  .To narrow this thing down even further-I'm down for a day shoot, which would mean we'd restrict ourselves to actual firearms handling and BS'ing...ya'know, a full day sans the excessive Westside noctornal alcohol consumption  .Pleiku- Will Parks, Sorry don't know him. What you see here is the roll so far...

Suggestion... just pick a day and post it. Some will make it, some will not, but it seems to be the best way to get it rolling. Since this is the 'first' one, it probably won't be all that gigantic anyway. Have some good times, post about it, post pics, and the next will be bigger 'n better. Just a suggestion. PS - Why the hell did you put Nov 4th on there if you know it's drill weekend? Don't be crazy man! 
|
Excellent, I was going to call you once we had a date lined up...and I still will.
. Okay...I forgot .1GR- Thanks for being the thorn in my.....errrrr... side?!  JAFO- Hmmm....thinking, thinking.........just pick it and DO IT...hmmmmmmm |
Thanks Patty...I suspect you're right, there's not more than a few Cross border ARFCOMmers, and this is a small,sorta, "test-shoot". Lee-I guess you called it, since you scouted it out. RSVP Post time? |
Nope, I'll handle it....MaxStatic and spouse met me out there yesterday. We figure the 100yd range will work for now, and there's a spot further in I found that'll work with a bit of "Forest management" for a larger group, although I'm not sure of how many tracer's it'll take... .Lee- Look for IM.... Matt |
Ah you made it out there? So I didn't get the place closed down huh?
