Nothing says Christmas like a little gun fire. I was wanting to put something together a couple of weeks before Christmas. We could shoot all day and have a cook out in the evening. Maybe some type of gift exchange with a $10.00 limit. Let me know what you guys think. I know this is a busy time of the year, but I wanted to do something fun for everyone. I was thinking $10.00 would cover shooting all say and food at night. Let me know what you guys think.

17th My father in law (who loves to shoot) will be in town then. |
|
Oh yea!! Sounds good to me! If we can get it scheduled around the usual family stuff then I'll be there The week between Christmas and New Years is a good candidate for me. on edit - The weekend of Dec 17-18th is also a good for me. TJ - your steel plates and pepper poppers are in for a workout! |
|
|
Hell Yes
This would make up for the fact that I had to miss Octoberblast this year. 10 bucks to shoot all day[at the coolest range I've ever been to] and you're going to feed us too? That is generous of you T.J. Thank you. I'm In for this one ! Tagged for the real date shooter100 |
|
I know that I'll be there one way or another.
For me, before Christmas works better. I'll make it my present to myself. Is camping an option? I need an excuse for a better sleeping bag. |
|
Sounds good to me. Maybe I will actually be able to make this.
|
|
10 bucks and a $10 gift.....for ALL day??? HELL YEAH, I'll be there!!!
TJ, you are faaaaaar to kind to us! Thank you so very much! |
|
Sounds like a winner. Would this be the right time to ask if anyone else besides me likes fruitcake?
|
|
I'll be home during this time. This would be a good time to see all you guys. We could have another slide show of Iraq? John T.
|
|
Count me in, my job is shutting down all week!...............Damn, T.J........thanks for your generosity!
|
|
Sounds good to me, I will be watching this thread for the date.
|
|
I'd love to drive down from Lubbock and meet some more of the DFW crew, but who would be here to tell my wife to "push" and "breathe"?!?
At the very least, have a great time for me. |
|
Bring her along-the gunfire will help expedite the process. |
|
|
TAG.
We need to start making plans. Well, I do at least What are the dates? |
|
The 17th will also work for me. If not that weekend, then sometime between Christmas and New Year's day. |
|
|
oops confused your board name with another Irish on the board, my mistake |
|
|
Unless the creek rises too high, me and Bravo Bravo will make it , already got the under $10 gift! Will try and round up a few more if we can.
Thanks TJ, gpgunracer,(Papa Whisky, Bravo Bravo) |
|
Im in, if I am in town. Love it. But I know that it is a busy time for most families.
|
|
link it is east of Waco about 15 miles... WELL worth the drive! |
|
|
Maduce,
Would you let us know what date(s) you choose? Or, we could do it the ARFCOM way and "do both" |
|
OK here we go. Lets plan on the 17th. We will kick off shooting at 9:00 am and shut down at 3:00 pm for dinner and gift exchange. Those wanting to take part need to bring a wrapped gift around the $10.00 value. We will put all the gifts in a pile and draw numbers. The first number will draw a gift from the pile and open it. The next person up can steel the gift or open another. Each gift can only be stolen 3 times.
I need to get an idea of how many are planning on coming so I can deal with the food. The beveages and deserts are on you guys. I would have to charge $50.00 to cover how much you guys drink. Keep me posted. T.J. |
|
Good call! |
|
|
OK - Dec. 17th it is! Dinner shoud be cheap for you since we'll probably be drinking it. Good call on shutting the ranges down early. Those of us who will be driving home may well need that time. I've never driven while toasted and I'd like to keep it that way, thank you very much! Need to bring firearms, ammo, beverages (both soft & otherwise), ammo, cheap @$$ *wrapped* gift, ammo, cleaning gear, clear weather, and a bit more ammo. +1 headcount for me. on edit - TJ, I'd like to talk to you & find out how much $$ you guys need so its worth your while to open the range. I'd like to see if it is feasible for you to make a day like this a semi-regular event. |
|
|
WTH! You guys are the new no shows now. You simply must change your plans and plan on attending. |
|
|
|
|
|
I'd love to go. Don't count me in unless I can get a Kitchen Pass from my (much) Better Half. I'd love to haul her and the Offspring up there, but I'm not sure that would fly well either.
I'll see what I can do though... |
|
Sounds like you married well............... |
|
|
I DID INDEED!!! show up and you can see He gave me a 20 gauge side by side when I married his daughter. I think I have the best in-laws on the planet. |

|
Sounds like a good time, can i still attend i even if I am still a newbie?
thanks shane |
|
HELL yeah!!! |
|
|
I'm in.
edit to add: I'll bring my BIL along too...britwithgun. |
|
I just did a rifle class, we had 22 shooters. Most of them said they would be there also. Looks like a good turn out.
|
|
Sounds great, TJ. 12/17 works for me.
The 3 day class this weekend rocked!!!! Shooting my Commando while hanging outside your truck window at 40 mph...what a rush. Too bad I only hit 11 targets. Your .50 BMG did a hell of a number on my sun glasses. I wonder if the Oakley warranty covers damage from muzzle break concusion. See you next time. Jeff H. P.S. I gained 5 lbs. this weekend from eating those shit burgers at Mobil. |
|
They ain't "hi-po" if they don't. |
|
|
I'll plan on this! Might even be able to get Handsome Rob to come with, since he'll be leaving Texas to be with his bride come January!
Pray for good weather! Maybe I'll be able to drive Stinky up there! |

Did you just repeat yourself? |
