It's time to start planning again for another monthly "Informal Shoot" for ARFCOM Members and any other interested parties. Planning this far ahead allows us to plan our schedules accordingly and to allow more ppl time to consider coming. The last shoot, though wet and me being "on call", was a lot of fun and those who came had a blast. There were Class III's, Sub's, Wings, Chips, Drinks, Gun Shot Residue, and plenty of rain to go around. This will be our 5th "Organized Informal". Below you will find all the information you will need to plan ahead for this fun activity. Hope to see you there!
---------- When Sunday, August 21st, 9:00 AM Where (see directions below) Babcock/Webb Wildlife Management Area Shooting Range 29200 Tucker Grade Road Punta Gorda, FL 33955. Phone: 941-575-5768 Cost (per person) $3.00 per person at the unattended entrance (there's a yellow post) ---------- Maps and Directions . . From North Head south on I-75 to Exit 158 (Tucker Grade) Turn left on Tucker Grade and drive straight and you will drive right into the park. From South Head north on I-75 to Exit 158 (Tucker Grade) Turn right on Tucker Grade and drive straight and you will drive right into the park. Directions To the Range Stop at the Entrance (sign and Yellow Post to your right) After paying the park entrance fee, continue straight on the dirt road. About 1/2 mile down the dirt road, you will see the Ranges on the left. When pulling into the Ranges, you will see three (3) ranges. The first one is the long range, second is the Pistol and Rifle Range, and the very end will be the Shotgun Range. We will be gathered and shooting at the second range for pistols and rifles. -------------------- During our last shoot, Hurricane Dennis was just off the coast which brought sporadic downpours, but the day was fun nonetheless. Hopefully the weather is better next time around, or should it rain again to allow another empty range? We'll see... If this date conflicts w/ any of you, please let me know and we'll plan accordingly to what everyone else thinks. Any additional ideas to add to the fun this time around is welcome.

Everyone chime in on whether they want to push it back one Sunday for the princess here.
|
|
As long as it's after the 13th, I'm cool with just about any date
|
|
Matters not to me! Just let me know so I can clear it with my "boss"
|
|
I think i can make it i live close by so the date isn't that important to me. i just need to load more ammo.
I will keep checking back to see if the 14th is still the firm date |
|
UPDATED THE SHOOT FROM THE 14TH TO THE 21ST.
Adjust your calendars. |

Maybe, If I can get my fat ass out of bed that early. Been wanting to attend one of these since the first one. Be nice to meet up with you guys. I havent been to one yet, but I think its a great idea. Ill probly sleep in tho, Woosaa |
|
Not only do i have to get up early I have to travel over 100 miles to get there, so I have to be outta the sack at like 0630, now thats dedication/motivation(or insanity)

Just got a NEW job and kicked my old one to the curb. I have Sundays off (were closed) so I should be there, WOOT! Cant wait
|
|
I'll have them start their thumb-strengthening right away. Something tells me they'll need it. |

|
I'm tryin to get the day off. it's hard with alot of guys using up vacation/personal hours this time of year. And I wanted to put the new FAL through a workout.
|
|
dude, 10-8 and roll on out! |
|
|
guys i don't think i'll be making the shoot.... I had a blood test done for lead this week due to a thread in the clubhouse. My levels came back at 49. Which is ten points ABOVE OSHA maxium level. So in short i have lead poisoning. I'm going to a hemotologist on monday to start treatment. I know he will recomend me to stay away from any source of lead during the treatment. I'll keep you guys posted.

|

Looks like Ingvar4You may be joining us for the shoot. I cant wait |
|
My Grandmother used to have a really cool baby blue '65 Mustang.
|
|
That would have been 'Arcadian Blue'. |
|
|
Yeah? Well I don't see you with any info on Tom's cheese, smart guy! WTF is Tom talking about anyway? |
||
|
Well actually... I think he would prefer a nice Norwegian baby swiss, possibly a Jarlsberg. Did you know that Jarlsberg was first produced in 1815 and has long since become Norway's most famous cheese and a household name here in America. |
|||
|
Alright! Stop it! |
||||
|
|
I should be almost done with my treatment by the 21st. I'll just have to play it safe at the shoot. I don't want to miss it really. Especially now that Tom's sister will be there
J |
|

|
|
