Thanks, can't wait to see them. My cousin's husband to be is from Stone Mt. and was just up shooting with us two weeks ago. It was the first time he shot an AR, and felt it was the best thing he had done. Hope my cousin is not listening! [:D]

I'll look forward to seeing some pictures!
I'll have my digital camera handy at the Central Texas Summer Shoot, and another guy is going to bring his, too. I'm trying to see if I can find a digital video camera, or someone that can bring one, then digitize some footage for us.... since we'll have some Tannerite, and a couple full auto weapons. :) Seems like this year is the 'get together' year, huh?

[img]www.ar15.com/members/albums/the%5Freject%2Fpic5%2Ejpg[/img] This used to be a nice monitor box before [b]lostwildcat[/b] and myself began going to town on it with 12 gauges. [b]DUDE! YOU'RE GETTIN' A SHELL!!![/b] [:D] [img]www.ar15.com/members/albums/the%5Freject%2Fpic7%2Ejpg[/img] Here is [b]LARRYG[/b] and [b]lostwildcat[/b] trying a scientific experiment. [b]LARRYG[/b] posted [url=http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/072002/new_20020720060.shtml]this article[/url] where a reporter claims that an AR15 can fire 30 round in 4 seconds. We countered that A) it couldn't be done and B) you wouldn't hit much if you could. [b]Sweep[/b], [b]lostwildcat[/b] and myself all tried just a standard rapid fire mag dump - none of us beat the 4 second mark - [b]Sweep[/b] did come closest at around 5-6 seconds. This picture is of a second attempt by [b]lostwildcat[/b] while aiming at a target. 30 rounds, 4 hits, 6.8 seconds if my memory serves me correct. I attempted it afterwards, and [b]ByteTheBullet[/b] has those pics. They aren't pretty. I did get 3 additional hits though ([b]lostwildcat[/b] and [b]ByteTheBullet[/b], I pulled a fast one on you guys - the other 10 were from my Ruger 10/22 [:D]). All in all, I know I had a fun time, despite the heat and the humidity that sucked the life right out of you. I know [b]ByteThebullet[/b] has tons of pics, but these will have to do for now. the_reject |

What range did you shoot at? I've recently moved to the Douglasville area and am looking for a public or private range to use.
I mainly shoot pistols now but have been known to break out my AR. So I'm looking for a range that allows shooting both. From the pics the range you were at looks like a nice one. Thanks, Rob |

Thanks, Rob Rob - We were at the Charlie Elliot DNR range. It's on the east side of Atlanta, off I-20 past Conyers and Covington. The range has a pistol side and a rifle side, not that it really matters all that much as people were shooting either at both. Rifle side is 100yrd range, pistol I [i]think[/i] (yeah, I know, that's dangerous) went to 50 yards. Might have been only 25. Not positive. the_reject |

Quoted: Thanks for the pics, looks as if it's as hot in Central GA as it is in Central TN..... It was so hot and humid today that humping in all my toys sapped all my energy - dunno how I managed to hump it all out (big thanks to [b]Sweep[/b] and [b]lostwildcat[/b] for grabbing the improvised "trash bin" for me - I doubt I could have managed one last trip back and forth). For the next 4 hours, my strength was gone - couldn't hold a rifle steady even while resting my elbows on the table! Granted, I'm no sharpshooter by any stretch of the imagination, but I resorted to destroying the monitor box with my scattergun because I couldn't aim and shoot a decent group to save my life. I weighed 240lbs this morning before I left. After breakfast, a gallon of liquids, and 5 hours of shooting, I now weigh 236. It was a sweat box today at the range. Tons of fun, but I think maybe we should hold the next one when it cools down some. [;)] the_reject |

OUTSTANDING day of shooting. lots of comraderie and fellowship enjoying our hobby. it was nice to see a diverse turnout. everyone exhibited good safety practices, and i'd like to say right now that id happily shoot with any of you. i'd like to thank Sweep for putting it together and i'd also like to thank LarryG for letting me molest his Garands, made my day! although larry, you tipped the girlfriend off on what lies ahead. she took one look at youre collection and said "THATS why you ordered a Safe 3 times bigger than you need isnt it"
count us in for next time. |

Hold on folks, I found another picture on the memory card:
[img]www.ar15.com/members/albums/the%5Freject%2Fpic6%2Ejpg[/img] This is shot of the firing line. [b]lostwildcat[/b] is up front, and in the distance you can see [b]LARRYG[/b] (all the way in the back), [b]ByteThebullet[/b] (back turned, blue and white striped shirt), and I think that might be [b]DvlDog[/b] seated at the second-to-last firing station. I think [b]Sweep[/b] must've been on break when I snapped this one, but his table is just past [b]lostwildcat[/b]. We introduced a few of the other folks in this pic to the toys we had brought with us, including a group from Georgia Tech that came out today. One guy was particularly good with [b]lostwildcat's[/b] shotgun and helped in the demolition of the monitor box. the_reject |

Ditto on the great time. Heat, humidity and all it was still great fun. Showed wife and 4 yr. old son the shot of me. He thought the pic of daddy was great. All the wife would say was "When are you going to retire that old ZAHAL (Israeli Army) hat you always wear shooting." Oh well, guess wives are like that, especially after you've been out having fun, and they've had to take the kid to a Disney movie.
Sweep did a super job setting this thing up and I think we all owe him a big THANK YOU. I'm already looking forward to the next one. [:D] [:D] |

Quoted: Yea, The garand had a problem, larry and sweep cleared it then it happened again. Actually we couldn't clear it. The second time it happened was with a second Garand![:D] That's two going to the gun smith now. I personally think it was 1) over charged round, 2) weak casing or 3) combination of 1&2. They were factory loads and I've had the same problem with factory loads in .223,(from the same company) however I was able to dislodge the casing after the extraction failure. I've switched to shooting nothing but new ammo. Thanks again guys for showing up! I think the next time we do this we should plan on getting there around 1 or 3 instead of 10 am, so we don't have to wait on tables.
