I believe there's going to be one coming up in September at the VFW on Midland where I hang out.
As far as shooting fun toys, you can rent an MP5 or an M4 at Bull's Eye on Manchester about 300m west of Kingshighway. They even have a beltfed Browning. The problem is that it's an indoor 25m range. |

Welcome aboard!
And since you are located in the St. L area I think I can help you out with long range shooting. How about a rifle club with 600yd ranges? Let me know and we can figure out a day to go. I have to head out there to do some long distance sighting work anyway and wouldn't mind someone else to shoot with. BTW, Where ya going in Nov.? As for gunshows the next one I know of is Sep. 12, 13 &14. (http://www.stlweaponcollectors.com/) Also, any luck with that AK yet? And before I forget, You are also cordially invited to the next MoDCC meeting Sep. 12th. I am going so if you need a ride let me know. |

Thanks for all the quick replies guys. Gary, haven't sold the Saiga yet but it should go sometime soon I hope. Just trying to get everything squared away before I go to Fort Benning, I figure I don't have any use for excess rifles when I'll never get a chance to shoot them. Anyway I'd like to go to that 600 yard range. Give me a shout.

Gary - You might want to replace that old 2002 calendar, cause the first Saturday is the 6th of September...  {grin}

Give me a holler, and I'll go too. Just to watch, or shoot the poop, as I don't have anything that goes .6Km yet.

So is the next MoDCC on September 6th or not?
Sorry to be slow, but I'd hate to miss this upcoming one, since I missed the last one (and I'm traveling AGAIN the week after the 6th). It sounded like loads of fun, and I wish I could have been there. |

Yup, the 6th it is, I am a bit challenged when it comes to reading comprehension it seems.  Oh yeah, with this many St. Louisans going I am sure car pooling or at least a carvan out there is possible. |

St. Charles, right at the Hwy 70 bridge, off of fairlane behind the carpet store.
Just a few hundred yards from Bass Pro. Hey MoBob, I went to High school just down the road from you, the original Francis Who? (Howell) |

I'm in Ballwin too. Sorry, but I have been out of the loop lately and missed the shoot. My wife has had a couple of surgeries, so things have been kinda busy around here. And I won't be able to make the next shoot either as I will be in Seatle as "Best Man" for my brother. I also belong to Benchrest Rifle Club. Let me know when you guys are going. Eric |

Sounds like some carpooling might be a possibility, since a bunch of us seem to bbe really close.
How long/far is the drive anyway? |

I think it was about 120 miles to Rocky Forks. I don't think I can help with the car pool idea though, I just have a little pickup and it barely has room enough for me and my stuff (since I usually bring along a virtual arsenal). If someone does need a ride I will see if I can make the room though. |

I've got a station wagon, so anyone that doesn't feel like riding by themselves is welcome to join me. |

I've gotta conversion van. So, if I can ever make it to another shoot, I can take some people too. As I remember GaryM has a huge arsenal and brought a large part of it to one get together we had a while back. I don't think there was room in his truck for much more than him when he showed up. He is the kind of collector that I want to be when I grow up. It wasawesome! Eric |
