Chasseur:

I'm game for just getting together and slinging rounds down range initially. But if the group wants something more organized, I'm game for that too.

I would make one recommendation, however. I would ask that each participant bring some extra rounds so other people can shoot their guns. (If they are comfortable with that.) One thing about this that I'm looking forward to is seeing everyone elses doubles. And if you allow me to shoot it, even better!

Everyone will be more that allowed to handle and shoot my .500. I'll bring my .416 Rem too and I'll have my father come down that weekend (he's in Philadelphia) and bring his .50 BMG (AR-50). The .375 H&H (Winchester Model 70) will come too.

Does that sound like too much?

Sounds good.

I think a open shoot each other's guns and get to know each other is a good idea for a first shoot. I especially like the idea of shooting new guns. I'll bring plenty of rounds for the 9.3x74r.

Should this be big bore rifle only? I do a lot of shotgun shooting. So I can bring double shotguns too if people are interested.

Hey guys,

If we kick this thing off at noon, and we begin with lunch, just how much shooting do you think can be done in one afternoon and still get you fellows back home to momma at a decent hour?

I'm hearing big rifles, little rifles, .50 BMG, and now shotties! In the meantime we are going to drool over and fondle each other's toys, yuk it up, and get to know each other. In April, even on DST it will be dark by 7:30 p.m.

I say this with a chuckle, because every time I get with my friends to shoot I take three or four guns and wind up shooting one or two.

By the way, we obviously won't have any "charging elephant" setup, but aside from shooting paper, I think it is great fun to murder various jugs full of water. Gallon milk or other jugs, liter Coke jugs, 2 liter jugs, etc. Different sizes for different ranges. They blow spectacularly when hit.

So I say we shoot paper and jugs unless somebody has a better setup or idea. The Bath County range is suited to that out to 100 yds. Everybody will need to save jugs for the event.

Wadduthink?

Well when you put it that way 12-7 sounds short

I like the all guns/no guns idea.

We could maybe make it a little earlier? Say those who can get together arround 10, and then the serious shooting starts at 12:00? Just a thought.

If its April neither the weekend of the 7-10, nor the 22-24 work for me. I'm out of town those two weekends. May is pretty much all open.

I like the jug idea.

I'll start savining milk jugs now.

I can do earlier :-) I have no problem getting a jump on things.

May works for me too.

For me this would be a weekend event. One day down, one day to shoot and a day back. If I'm able to make it there it doesn't matter when we start or finish.
I'm looking forward to it.

Hey guys,

I'll be away from this afternoon until Jan 31.

Don't beat up on me too bad during my silence.

Dear Friends,
I'm not Mid-Atlantic, I'm a Hoosier. But I'd sure like to attend the shoot you are planning. As a match director for 15 years I might offer some advice. Check the weather history for the week-end you are planning...if you have had a history for rain during that period, you might want to pick a different week-end. Also, I might be able to bring some steel targets. They "ring" nicely and don't have to be re-set. (thus a time saving factor) Please keep me informed as to the date and place. (also, don't forget the CADS shoot April 30 here at Big Rock Range. SP2

Southpawtoo,
I'm sure you would be welcome though I'm not part of the organizing team. But check out "Frighttening Experience posted under Big Bores" before any more steel target shooting.

SouthPawtoo:

You are more than welcome to join in on the fun! I posted it as "Mid-Atlantic" figuring that people from Australia, California and other parts wouldn't be interested in a shoot in the neck of the world. I may have assumed too much and for that I apologize.

I'm game for anything we do that day! As long as we have fun!

CptCurl is out of pcoket until next week, so when he gets back we'll pick a day out.

Hey guys, I've been posting about a shoot in March at my range for DR shooters. I did not get a single response. However, when I mentioned hosting it earlier - everyone was up for it. Now that I have the range for that day no one is interested. The shoot is in charlotte NC on march 12, I must have at least 5 shooters to host this, otherwise I'm canceling it.

Bonanza,
I've not been ignoring you or your plans for a shoot. Quite the contrary, I'd love to come to SC. It would be a long drive but I'm up for it. Trouble is though, I run a Cowboy Action shoot here at Big Rock Range. We shoot on the second and fourth Saturdays from Feb. - Nov. Anything on the first or third Saturday I could maybe attend. Truly I wish the best for you and the shoot. SP2
