Energizer had an idea a few months back to give a lil something to EricTheHun for letting us have fun and shoot at his farm. He has been so gracious and hospitable to everyone that comes. Even Redgoat who chops down his trees is still welcome back [:D]
So we gathered up some cash and a few donated parts to get him the ultimate tool box. Which included a CAV15 in Dewalt yellow. Tools, Cleaning Kits, Scope, Tac Handle, MRE, 2 mag full, Shooting glasses, and ear plugs. Here are the pics: [size=5][b]Eric The unsuspecting Hun[/b][/size=5] [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/IG_LoadImage.asp?iImageUnq=3202[/img] [size=5][b]ETH get the gift and thinks "oh great another fucking tool box.

[;)] View Quote Yeah, I'm kinda in a position not to buy any airline tickets right now :( I do have a resume submitted in DFW though :) Just wish I'd get a call. I will be down there one of these days though, that's for sure :) |

20 minutes of downloading that video and I get a message that something couldn't be decompressed, so all I got was 10 seconds of audio...
...........BANG!...........BANG!...........BANG!.......BANG!...........BANG!...........BANG! |
|
Damn. I'm sorry I missed it. Still want to meet you guys. I'll definetly make it to the next one. When your dad offers to pay for your ski vacation you tend to not say no. Besides the guy got me an Aimpoint with an ARMS mount.

I have been checking this board everyday just to find out if the gift we got Him was in His hands yet. ETH: I hope you enjoy that shooting tool, and I want to borrow it at the next farm shoot. I also hope you had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also I would personally like to say thank you for your hospitality and friendship. John232 from Grapevine TX.

So how many acres comprise ETH's farm? Is it big? How long of a shooting range does he have set up?
|
|
Dang looks like we did good.
The farm is about 600 acres with a 600 yard range set up. (at least back in June) Outstanding place to camp and shoot for sure. Looking forward to the Spring shoot. |
|
Oh my...what's this? New photos of AR15.com members? It's like Christmas all over again.
ETH, you are an asset to us all, for your generosity and assistance to ALL the DFW Crew. Not only with your farm, but through your friendship, guidance, assistance and advice. TRG |

BTW if anyone can or knows how to change a Quicktime video format into maybe a WMV or RM format, can you please convert that video for me. I can e-mail it to you, or you can dnload it from the link, email it back to me to post. Much appreciated.

Quoted: The farm is actually about 1000 acres....Plenty of space. View Quote Yup 1000 acres. About three range set up. One for rifle going out to about 300yds. Steel plates set up at the farthest end. Bowling pins at mid range. Also a pistol range of to the right. We also go over to the river to bump fire. OH if you look at the pic where ETH is sitting down holding up his rifle and smiling, you can see the bowling pins in the background from the rifle range down the hill. |

Oh yeah, Bunghole & I designed the foam lining for the CAV15 and built it last Friday. Its a rather unique design, one that hold the barrel above the foam, yet is all on the same layer, so you don't have to remove foam to get to the other pieces. (the upper lays on the foam, upside down, and the handguards help with support)
This case was also severely drop tested, sort of... on the way into the farm, LT & I took a detour and we hit some rather harsh bumps (going really fast) which bounced the hell out of the case, and scratched up the inside of my Jeep! The upper & lower were still secure in their little home. We have step by step pictures of the building process-- hopefully Bunghole will post them soon (when he gets back from the farm)! |

My Lord ETH is HUGE![;)]
Or maybe the picture's are just huge! Congrat's Eric! One of these day's I will get to meet all of you! Until then... BigDozer66 out! |
|
Great pics. Sure wish I had been there! Damn, is that what winter looks like there? WOW! Looks like another planet!
|
|
Oh yeah, and for those who remember my sig lines, this is what it was all about... and that group ammo purchase, well, there were 30 rounds in each of the magazines.... hehe
|
|
Oh yeah, ETH thanks everyone who contributed. You know who you are!
|
|
Glad he liked the gift. It was the least we could do for his hospitality.
Also, I left my chair at the farm. If someone grabs it, let me know, if not, leave there, I'll get her next time. Sorry I had to leave early, wife was upset. ETH, thank you for you generous hospitality. TXLEWIS |

[size=4]Hey y'all, I'm just here for a minute, but I want to say 'Thanks!' to everyone for their gift and the thoughts they have expressed for me![/size=4]
As soon as I get out of this lawyer suit, I'll be making my way back to the Farm! Still got folks out there! [:D] And I needed another couple of bottles of Jose Cuervo Gold for my friends! I'll write more when I return on New Years Day! If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.... [size=4]YeeeeHaaaawwwwww![/size=4] Eric The(ProudAsAPeacock)Hun[>]:)] |

ETH,
You're more than welcome for the gift and I am proud as hell of being involved! You deserve this and more! I just wish I could have been there in person. How about if you act really suprised and show off the DeWalt rifle at the Spring Schnitzenfest? It will seem like I was there. I am honored to know you and to call you my friend. |
|
Does he have 1000' of straight road without telephone pole to land on? I might actually be able to make it sometime. Planerench out.

There are no telephone poles for miles. When we say camping in the sticks. We mean camping in the sticks. No toilet, no runing water, no electricity, no structures for miles around. |

I just got back from the Farm.
Thanks again to ETH for his generosity for letting us have a great time. I am happy ETH like the gun. I was worried it would slip out what we were doing. I have seen ETH shoot 3 different times now. So I think we will be seeing him shoot much more in the future. Good job energizer! Looks like I also have new photos of TRG to play with, as well as energizer, 1gunrunner, hound, lordtrader, and lets not forget ETH, I have a special idea for you my friend. Bunghole has a photo of you sleeping. I shall wait for that one. |
|
You never mind those pics with me, you don't want no beef with me. [:D] I'll be down there again... I'm easy to get ahold of but, awfully hard to let go of.
Is the The Hun gonna be there by himself? I'd hate to think of the man by himself with all that blue water! |
|
ilikelegs and TRG, I have more photos from the XMas Dinner. HEHEHE Let the fun begin.
|
|
mojo, The_Emu, bunghole, Citabria7GCBC, falarak,
were staying longer and a few of them will be there until Jan.1st. I don't know how many will stay the whole time. Sparskey was leaving soon after I left. I'll make a real special photoshop image of you soon. I've got lots of new photos to work with now. [dracula] |
