Hi Guys, ok we got off on kissing ass and eating dog in the other post
 so we need to decide which weekend it's going to be. We'll have to just choose the weekend the most folks are able to make it. So, please post your preference and we'll get the date decided so everyone can make their plans. Thanks!Jason |

Close to Tulsa. Hubby says no go if it's more than an hour and a half, and that would be about a two and a half hour drive.

yeah but I hate looking for a job, and I'm back to getting paid for just showing up, where else am I going to get 20k a year without having to bust my balls and showing progress, now if I could fined an good desparate woman with a job that'd put up with my lazy ass, I could be a house husband or the PC term is I believe " kept man", that gave me an allowence of a couple hundred a week and a booze/food expence account, then I'd be in short pants and tall cotten. EDIT TO ADD: I'll even supply the house. |

What's the agenda for the shoot? What times does it run and this is a two day event I take it? Anyway, a rough agenda or a rundown of how y'all did it last year would be great.

Last year there was kinda three seperate shooting area's. One had IPSC type targets and was only like 30 yards or so then there was some tables set up that you could shoot out to I think like 150. Then if you got on Jason's deck by the house you could shoot to 220 yards which now I believe the Doc has said they have made to over 300 yards. It's just bring whatever guns you want and walk around and talk with everyone and shoot guns at the different areas you want and try out the fun toys. If you act like a dumbass with a gun then don't show up. Last year everyone was real safe. I only stayed for one day so I don't know how the overnight deal went.

It's not the gas money or anything like that, it's mostly being too far away from the kids/too far away from the AO for comfort. It's okay for one of us to be away farther if the other's home, but for me to come to a shoot, he'd have to come, too.
I guess we're wierd, and that's okay. I just...don't feel right without the kids, but don't know you guys well enough to bring them. |

I'm sure someone will have a video camera again  Agenda for the shoot.... We'll have pistol targets up for IDPA/IPSC type stuff, at least one plate rack and hopefully 2 or 3 racks for pistol. Belt Feds and MG's ok on the roughly 325 yard rifle range.. We'll also have paper targets available for subgun shooting if desired. Oh, and there will be Tannerite available  We're planning on shooting Friday afternoon and evening some, and then the main shoot on Saturday starting around 9:30 until your tired or it's dark. Not sure what time we'll start on Friday right now. Jason |

I can make either weekend.
 Bad thing is, the Taxman (4/17) will probably hit me hard this year.  I wonder who can hit a Tannerite plastic EasterEgg at 325 yards?

Ok it looks like the 21-22st is it. I need to let some folks know so they can come (SOT and real live woman).
Jason has WAY understated the target situation - I have been plasma cutting/welding (and setting myself on fire - dont plasma cut wearing scrubs - they burn nicely) for the last 4 days. There will be a bucket load of steel targets - both rifle and pistol/subgun. There will be 'sniper type' precision steel targets for those of that mind as well as small challenging spinner rifle targets and large gong/square types for the spray and pray open sight guys. The rifle targets have been tested at 30 yards with 30-06AP and passed with flying colors. Supposedly they will handle 50 BMG BALL (not AP) - at least the steel is rated to stop it - we may try a plate and see if it wraps it too bad to keep shooting it (this stuff is $35 sqft. so destroying it would be bad). I also want to test some steel/target systems/designs to failure. There will likely be a guy that up armors govt vehicles and he will bring some stuff to see if we can kill it - The rifle range is opened up a bunch so there shouldnt be any issue with crowding there. There was plenty of space for subguns and pistols last year so there shouldnt be any problem. WE will all have to remember the shooting steel results in bullet splatter so there will be some minimium shooting distances for saftey -- again, I'll gladly fix you if you get injured (for free) accidentially, but if you get hurt being stupid or braking the rules WE WILL MOCK YOU, LET YOU DIE AND SPLIT UP YOUR GEAR. |

Dont know if I will be able to make it now, seems we are now flooded with orders at the plant, even got 10,000 cases to run that the damn japs cant run, so we have to.
Looks like my weekends may be full for awhile. |

That settles it then. If 1shott the pot stirrer won't be there, then I'll be there for sure.
Of course, he might call in sick that day and be there anyway. I'll be ready though. I'm bringing my Red Ryder (yes, it has a compass in the stock) and my Super Soaker 2000.

I haven't been around here long but would like to meet everybody even if I didn't shoot anything but the breeze.
As for the Easter egg...that would be fun, never shot tannerite before....almost bought some at the last gun show but had my hands full with beanie babies and jerky.

Okay, guys...IF my dad will watch the kiddos, and IF the old man continues to be cooperative, I may be able to come...but only for the day. If any of you would really rather I not drive down, say so now...really, I won't be offended. I'll just...organize a shoot near here some other time or something. I need to go do some camping anyway, and if I don't go to this one, I'll be taking the kids camping on the back forty.

Bring your toys and have some fun! Is anyone bringing thier kids? I should have my 11 yr old son that weekend.....I think he might have fun and was wondering if anyone else was thinking about bringin thier youngens out as well.  |

I can say that there will be at least 3 of us arriving when I get there...me my dad and my 11 yr old son. But we're not getting there until saturday. No drinking or night shooting or anything for us.
Speaking of my old man....he will be bringing 3 BRAND NEW Bulgarian AK-74 Kits with him.....he has one for himslef that we started on a couple nights ago, this isn't his type of gun smithing so, he has 3 kits extra......for sale. Closest thing we found to compare them to are a Plum Bulgarian Kit for $300 and a "painted wood" kit for $270....and we're not sure by what "painted wood" means exactly....painted as in paint? Or painted as in stained?? We donno....either way, these will be for sale...... |

Well think about it....there weren't any idiots out there, everyone was pretty decent people in real life, plus I'll have my 11 yr old out there so I'll be doin alot of watching him as well as a little bit of shooting. How old is your son Ackman? |

I know what ya mean about the gun handling skills Ackboy ....since my son lives with my loser exwife he doesn't get to do as much shooting as I used to when I was younger. Just gotta keep one eye on him at all times, thats what I'll be doin with my boy, plus when he is shooting, I won't be....so I'll be able to help him out and watch over him. He doesn't feel comfortable around the big guns 308's n stuff like that the pressure and noise all get to him. So I'm gonna try to keep him at a safe distance from the big boys.....and I'm pretty sure he'd love to see some tannerite getting shot up....and watchin the M1919 crank out some lead...and the full auto stuff that could possibly show as well. So....I think he'll have a good time...plus if he gets bored I'm sure he'll have his game boy if he needs to hang out inside out of the sun and do some video gaming.

I know what you mean acman. My oldest son is 9 but he's just not ready yet to do some serious gun handling. He's getting close, but he's just not there yet. He is pretty smart though! I'm just not comfortable bringing my kids to this event, but, maybe in time. |

I might! Momma has some airline tickets we need to burn soon. Hopefully before that shoot! As far as teaching kids to shoot - my son and his buddies were good shots with evertyhing from a S&W revolver to an AK at age 9. At 12 Matthew would load 9mm rounds on the Dillon for him and two older guys, Matt T. across the street and his buddy Steve, an OKC cop. The three of them would go shoot once or twice a week, depending on how many rounds Matthew had loaded for them. He got tired of that sh*t after awhile. But he was one hell of a shot with his Ruger P89 because of it. Now, at age, 26, he'll shoot 2 or three rounds out of a rifle to make sure it hits, then he is ready to hunt. I still chew his ass up with a handgun - with a Sig 226, 229, whatever! Matt is the only kid that I know that ever shot guns with the fun switch on them at age 8! Don't let me around young boys that want to shoot! I'll let them shoot everything I have and teach them marksmanship and safety at the same time! I'm really damn good at teaching youngsters and the inexperienced how to shoot and hit with a firearm! |
