Thanks to all who put this together. I had a great time and it was nice putting some faces with the names. I'm looking forward to the next ARFCOM function. Just thought I'd share some pics I took. I know a few others had camera's as well, please feel free to add to the thread if you have any you'd like to post.

Of course if that is the best available range thats cool, shooting is better than no shooting. I live in oregon and only shoot at one area/range

Let's see, wide open area (past 200yds) where you can shoot anything you want (including tannerite) and that seems pretty lame to you??

Dear Sir:

Please advise us as to when and where your event is scheduled so we might make appropriate plans to attend. Hopefully, this will be a formal affair. Have any specific dinner entres been planned as of yet?

Sincerely,

Us Lame Virginians

That shooting spot gives more of a realistic outdoors setting than any “trimmed and mowed” controlled environment range could ever give!

Looks like a good time was had by all!

sounds like fun was had by all and that's the most important thing!

If you would like to plan a gathering where about 40 people can come out, put lead downrange, eat really good, and have a hell of a time, be my guest. You need to take a look in the mirror before you criticize others. You weren't there, you don't know how it was, so I suggest you think about the hard work and self-sacrifice a lot of good people made before you post stupid ass comments like this one. Fuckin'

I don't recall anyone complaining. From my perspective we all seemed to be having one hell of a good time. Had you been there your opinion would probably be different.

I'm jealous. That looks like it was a lot of fun.

I'm with you guys, I'll shoot anywhere, anytime, as long as it's legal (for the most part).

Wish I lived nearby so I could go.

And where do you live. We here in Virginia tend not to always be the politically correct type. Next time you have a shoot invite me and tell me what the cost of the prime rib is gonna be and where the hotel reservations are at? I know You wont do this cause you dont even have enough money or balls to cowboy up and pay the 20 fucking dollars to become a team member. When you out do what we planned for almost two months then you too can pass judgement. HOWEVER till then why dont you just sit and back and have a nice tall Virginia Glass of SHUT THE FUCK UP OVER!!!!!

I did have dinner with some cool AZ arfcommers, so all was not lost.

Okay, we accept. Now you can be one of us again. Oh, and by the way: Our boy Hawk_308 GPS'd the yards for us and it came to 197 yds to the bottom of the gulley.

If I could find a similiar paying job/cost of living, I'd be there in a hearbeat. I've become too specialized, I think and I don't think my primary talent/skill would be in high demand in too many places and my secondary talents/skills probably wouldn't pay my bills and support my addiction(s).

Dang!

5 dollars more than I pay and not from them.

Edited to add that if you look at the FH from Model one has no vortex hole configuration, a bad copy of the origional like mine.

I estimated that the furthest target was setup about 145-165 yards away, most formal ranges don't have that.

VHS: Hawk_308 did a GPS for us and your guess is very close. it was actually 197 yds. to the first line where he sprayed the weed killer. Maybe the all the excitment threw your internal guesstimator off?
