Yo lt, aren't you going to tell them about how I had to save you from that unstoppable steel plate? You emptied the mag on your Gee Lock at that thing and it just kept coming at you, relentlessly. [:O]
I had to put a little USP45 Tactical smackdown on its ass. One 230gr FMJ later, you were safe again. [}:D] Whew! [:D] |

The 1000yds range would've been great for the beltfed guys you have in SoCal. There was probably 100acres of shooting space we had to ourselves. Quoted: Well did anybody hit the 1000 yarder? Nah, there was only one guy that went up there. There was a few people that were shooting half way at the 500yds mark when I got there. |

I got to fire DPeacher's .416 Rigby.
Oh My [b]God![/b] That thing is a frickin' cannon! It makes the "Quigley Down Under" rifle look positively tame!! [%|] Actually, I think DPeacher just attached a buttstock to a Howitzer to pull a joke on those of us who were brave(stupid) enough to fire it... |

What a great day indeed! It sure was nice to meet a bunch of the AR15.com crew. Mojo, thanks for the full auto trigger time on your "Li'l Fren". Jarhead_22, You only shot "Baby" 1 time. It couldn't have been that bad, or I wouldn't have been able withstand the measley 8 rounds I ran through her. The "Osama House" was a really good time as well, and the KD range is a very nice set up, in fact I would say the best KD range I have shot on outside of the military. We are going to have to get together for another one of these events so I can remember everyones name! I would also like to thank the rest of the folks who let me shoot their weapons (FAL, Rem 700, Singer 1911).
brouhaha, I know what you mean. I drove from Austin, 3.5 hrs (210 miles) each way. But it was worth it! Great people and a first class facility! Hope to see you at the next one! Semper Fi |

Brouhaha, if they do it again, I'll probably drive up because it looked like a lot of fun. I'll be more than happy to let you ride shotgun, as long as you don't bitch about my driving (no wrecks and no ticekts) or the music.

Fer some reason that thousand yard target is just irritating me and im havin the urge to shoot it. .50 cal is authorized at Tac Pro. Also, thanks to Rat44 for letting me run a magazine through his FAL. I learned a valuable lesson: Don't wear your high-dollar sunglasses as shooting glasses! Shooting glasses are there to keep sharp and/or hard things from going in your eye. It only cost me a bunch of scratches on my Maui Jims to figure that out. |

I was wondering the same thing, the range rules prohibit ground level targets, but we were allowed to shoot the heck out of bowling pins, rocks, etc. We had to pick up all the brass as well. Interesting policy. However, everyone working together filled a 5 gallon bucket with brass casings in about 10 minutes. BTW, that one bucket was from one range only. The 1000 range, is subdivided into 100,200,300,500 ranges, I think. However, theses ranges are ALL downrange of the richochets (and there were alot of them) from the two 25-50 yard ranges. We picked TacPro because they allow Class 3 an 100 yard shooting. I think only 1 person shot at 1000 yds, and only 1-2 brought class 3's. The search is already starting for DFW AR15.com Winter shoot. Several people, my brother included, have offered to improve the amount of 'training' that occurs at the next shoot. More tactical shooting, a gun/knife retention class, etc. There was alot of informal discussion of techniques and shooting styles, etc. Basic pistol training, carbine use, maintenance, etc. were all discussed informally. |

For knocking $10 off the range fee I was more than happy to pick up some brass. I do have to admit that is was great seeing the team work when cleaning the place up. I thought it would take forever but we got it taken care of in no time.

I don't know that anyone was shooting 1000yds. We set up at 300 and had a great timeknocking the gong. After we got my 308 pss zeroed, we hit the 5in top of the gong about every time. Next time is at least 500 yds for me. Need to get my scope shimmed, It was dialed all the way up at 300 yds. BTW that 416 RIGBY was AWESOME. I hurt like hell after I pulled the trigger, but couldn't stop smiling. I can't believe I pulled the trigger again. (One last note, the bruise is not THAT big). This was my first AR15.COM get together, it definately won't be the last. I had to leave early to catch a flight, but it was a great day. WL |
