Who would be up for a machine gun shoot the weekend of May 19-21, 2006, sort of a way to say "Thanks for 20 years" (sarcastically) to the anti's for the '86 FOPA (Firearms Owner's Protection Act) which banned the civilian possession of newly-manufactured machine guns?  Possibly at Tom Bean or Sanger or TacPro or Tiger Valley?  Just thinking aloud...

Would be nice...a big suggestion would be a static firing line.

A static line allows those with a few toys to actually setup a table, canopy, chairs etc...

Access by vehicles should be considered.  Ammo is heavy, especially 8mm.  Also, it allows those w/ belt guns to setup and not worry about taking them down...

Much like bulletfest.

You must pre-qualify a bump firing certification... of 30 rounds continuous from the hip and shoulder.... and must bring 1000 rounds of ammo, minimum.... half of which you will donate to the "real" machinegun owners.

Yes, of course, because you do own a machine yourself.  But you would be welcome anyway.

Absolutely, this is just another excuse to get together and put lots of lead downrange.

Tannerite gets you free admission.

But seriously, this is just another excuse to have a gathering and shoot.  And a machine gun shoot on Friday, May 19, 2006, would be a perfect way to get back at the anti's in our own little way for the '86 FOPA.

Seems we have enough interest to hold a shoot, now we just need to vote on a venue.  Poll added.

hrt4me-

Good range options, just some casual observations:

Tom Bean - Short range, very limited berm, group size can be an issue

Tiger Valley - Good size, several bays for shooting so it's not as crowded.  Not great for setting up tables and canopy's ala bulletfest

Sanger - short range, C3 range in a gulley...can be an issue in the event of rain...can get crowded quickly...more remote than Tom Bean

Tac Pro - never shot there, care to elaborate on range setup?

Hun farm-  It's the farm....biggest problem is the drive, especially for the south Texas crew....

I will call TJ and get his thoughts on hosting this at Tiger Valley on Friday, May 19, 2006.  I checked the Tiger Valley schedule and they already have a 3-gun match that weekend, May 20-21, 2006, so what better reason to go down to Tiger Valley and celebrate our freedoms and shoot in a 3-gun match and the same weekend.

My only requirements are:

1)  Safe environment...

2)  I can back my vehicle up to the line....unless Mojo's willing to carry cases of 8mm and 308 to the line for me...Each case of 8mm weighs 55lbs.



Distance and reactive targets are a plus...

He has got more belt guns "on order" than anyone I have ever known. if they ever come in, we will need the truck to haul them. But for now, the Polaris will suffice.

going the speed limit, it is exactly 3 hours from my house in McKinney, so using Decatur as a hub from DFW, if you are about 60 minutes from Decatur it will take 3 hours total to get to the farm


eta: just googled the path - it says 1:01 to Decatur and 2:30 to the farm, so maybe the speed limits are not updated on google or I go over the posted limit just a tad.... (hey, that is only prima facie evidence of speeding in TX)
