PENNSYLVANIA TFL MEMBERS!!!SodaPop's 22 Pop Festival January 27th

[Jamie Young]

Bring your guns and your 22 Caliber rifles or Pistols to Pennslyania on January 27th. Its at www.WaterandWings.com just outside of Quakertown PA. Just off of the North East Extension of the TurnPike. Their phone number is 215-679-6633 for directions. Or just tell me where your coming from and I'll give them to you.

I'm bringing my 22Magnumer rifle and my Model 70 and maybe the Single Six.

If you don't have a 22 just bring some ammo. And bring some 22Mag for me :)

I'm going to call the guy with the 50BMG rifle still too.

[K80Geoff]

Ok I can handle the 27th!

But I am still bringing my 30-06 and levergun.

[Jamie Young]

Don't forget the Paper for Patterning everyones Shotguns;)

[K80Geoff]

I will be bringing my Remington 597, my Hammerli Trailside and Ruger 22/45 and Mark II.

Should keep you folks busy for an afternoon:D

If you don't have a 22, come anyway and shoot mine!

Sorry Dead, no AK in rimfire:p

[Jamie Young]

Anyone have a BuckMark? I love the stocks on those guns. A little too expensive for me but a nice gun.

Whats the TFL Member's Preferred 22LR Ammo?

[9mmMike]

Those last and first Sundays are tough for me.
I will pencil it in and start working on an escape plan from work.
I will bring a Marlin bolt action 780 and a Winchester semi, the model number I've forgotten.
I will see if I can get one of my 10/22 pals to come along with his scary assault .22 and 50 (or is it 100) round banana clip mags.
Mike
PS. It's not a .22 but I just bought a Kahr P9 Covert for the lovely Mrs. 9mmMike and if anyone wanted to try it, I could beg her to let me borrow it for the day.

[Dead]

K80Geoff,

OK ok now that you said that I NEED to get one those them there AK 22LR Rifles, mad cheap frm what I remember (<$200), but I think they are junk. :p

So does that include all 22CAL rifles, handguns, etc?? heheh, thatwould include an AK in 5.45 :)

[Jamie Young]

I suggest everyone really try to make an effort to get there between 11am-12pm. The Range is outdoors and they close at 4pm because it gets dark so much earliar. I have 3 Rifle tables reserved and 2 Pistol tables.

[Jamie Young]

Have any of you guys read S.W.A.T Magazine? I just subscribed and I'll bring a copy (if I get it before this shoot) so we can all hold it up and Pose with it:) That way we'll earn Brownie Points with the Editors.

[FlyinGN]

please excuse my ignorance Sodapop but what exactly *IS* a TFL shoot?? Im in Philly and may like to come. I have a Colt .22 Cadet and a Winchester 190 rife.. + Other handguns..

Frank

[Jamie Young]

Its easy...

Take the North East Extension and get off at the Q-Town Exit. I'm pretty sure thats Exit 32. Once you go threw the toll booths make a right at the light. Your on 663 now!!!
Count two lights. At the Second Light make a right. You'll see some Episcopol Chuch to your left if your on the correct road. Follow that road for 3 minutes until you see a Big Rock off to your right. That rock has Water And Wings engraved on it. Take the Road to the Right of the Rock and you will see a big Barn Building ahead. Don't park in front, pull around the back and thats where we'll all be.

My Cell Phone Number is [Deleted by Staff at Author's Request] if anyone gets lost and needs to call me. I'll have it with me at the Range

Jamie Young is the Name

[dinosaur]

Well, I had my second heart attack right after Thanksgiving.:( Since then I haven`t felt like traveling to any gun shows so I don`t know about driving down to Quakertown. I`m getting stronger but I`m still getting used to the new medications.

There`s a show this weekend in Leesport and one in Hazleton. I should be able to make both. They`re not real big so I probably won`t find anything.

[Quantrill]

May be able to make this. Quantrill

[Jamie Young]

Sorry to hear that. Well we all enjoyed having you out the last time you came to the shoot. Your a World of Information and I liked listening to you. Its not too often I hear people speak with Credibility and not the Hear say stuff.

I'm sure K80Geoff liked the fact you were giving him suggestions on where to live in PA so he could GET THE HELL OUT OF NEW YORK.

I hope you feel better.:)

[K80Geoff]

Dinosaur!!!!

Lay off the Booze, stogies, steaks and wild women and go shooting, it is good for you:D

[dinosaur]

I`ll probably wait until it warms up. I do have a Winchester Model 62A I think and a Smith Model 17. I`d just need ammo. The Winchester is great for shooting Colibris in the house. No noise whatsoever. When I got out of the hospital my brother was up. He was shooting it. First time in years for him.

[Jeets]

SodaPop... does your invite extend to new members? I live just north of Pottstown right off of 663. I'm also going to the Leesport show tomorrow, will anybody else be there? You won't miss me, I'm the heavy set black guy walking around drueling over all the new and used hardware. My name is Jeff.

[Jamie Young]

You can't come until you Post on TFL atleast 10 times:)

You have a month to do it so get started.
Oh and you have to tell us what guns your bringing;)

Oh and one more thing... If you say your coming and back out TFL Member K80Geoff will put you on his **** list

[Jeets]

SodaPop... well, than make this my 2nd post. I own a Kimber Eclipse II, a Taraus .38 titanium, and an ole Rossi .357 (my first gun). Oh... and a Remington 870.

[Dead]

Ok... I will be there Sunday, YAY

Imight bring one of my friend;s from GreenVille with me, ifshe will come out. :)

[Jamie Young]

I was up there today testing Mags on my FAL. I blew threw 10 Fully loaded 20rd mags without a hitch.
Things have slowed down since most of hunting season is over. I had the whole range to Myself most of the day.

I think they pretty much officially ARE NOT opening the 500yd range. I bitched about that and the fact they didn't have any skids for back ups. I might try and volunteer some time up there and see if I can change a few things.

[K80Geoff]

Just got a notice for Jury duty starting on the 22nd. Now I will have to arrange it so I can be free that weekend:D

Just like the govt to tax me into poverty and then not allow me to work to earn money to pay the taxes. :mad:

Dinosaur... no riding the Harley to the gunshows!

Hope to see you when it gets warmer and you feel better.

[3 gun]

Seems most of the guys around here are afraid of a little cold and snow. I might be up for a little road trip. I've got a Marlin 25 in 22 Mag, a model 60, a 22/45 and maybe a Single Six convertible (if the trade works out). The web sites down, so how far is this place from Cleveland?

[Hal]

3 gun
Roughly 400 miles.

[Jamie Young]

3 Gun if you drive that far I'll put you up in My house!

There are plenty of Motels/Hotels in that area so you could stay there if you wanted too. Its absolutely a great place to spend the day.

[Marcus]

I`ll try and make it to this one. I missed the last shoot due to family stuff but a .22 shoot sounds like fun! I can bring my Buckmark Micro Plus Nickle SE, stainless 10/22 and NAA .22mag. Mini,maybe one or two others. Marcus

[Dead]

Soda,

What should I bring besides 22LR stuff?

30/30 Level action for sure :) what else?

[Jamie Young]

Your Cowboy hat and Boots:)

Do you have a Flintlock?

Like an AK Flintlock or something?

[Dead]

Ok an AK it is.

which one.. hmmm ;)

[Quantrill]

How far is the range from Quakertown Airport? Quantrill

[Dead]

Isnt the Quakertown Airport on 663?? (I know there is one on that road) if it is, I would say you could almost spit on the range from there, not more than 5-10 minutes away.

[Jamie Young]

I'm almost positive that if you get off the turnpike and make a left turn you will be at the Q-Town Airport in 1 Minute :) I think its right over on the other side of 663 about a Mile down the road.

[Quantrill]

I thought I might be able to get a hop to the Quakertown Airport but it is now "iffy". Thanks for your responses and if we ever do this again, I will know I have an option. Quantrill

[Jamie Young]

A Potential Problem for the shoot. Its a minor one, we just have to make sure we're prepared.

This Range is severly under used between January and August and in the last Month I've seen 75% of the Wooden Posts shot down. I was up there today and Had a heck of a time hanging targets. I spoke to some of the people there and they said they usually only put Posts up 2 or 3 times a year. Unfortunately they got shot up pretty fast. 100yds and 200yds are pretty gunned down so.........

I'm going to go out to Home Depot or a Lumber Yard to get some wood or Metal Posts to bang into the ground. I'll see how many I can make up for the shoot but If any of you can bring something It might save some aggravation. I have access to plenty of Carboard but thats not going to cut it in the wind.

[pdmoderator]

deleted post. bbs won't let me do a real delete.

[Rovert]

Count me in! Hopefully, by then, I'll have my FID and guns. :rolleyes:

[jmlv]

If so I know where it is and have shot cowboy action matches there many times. Nice place. Will there be food and beverages avaiable or should we bring out own? I beleave I may be able to make this one. Are non TFL guests allowed? My friend just got his computer and still can't acess the web well. He is a shooter through. Just 22's? or any of hand blaster? I have a 45/70 contender you all can try out.....most folks only try it once<VBG>.
Looking forward to this. As long as there is no snow I will put it on my calender! Yes blasting. ah the joy of the 22 gotta go to walmart and buy some "Loss leader 22's" less than $9 for 550 rds!
Deaf Smith SASS # 4475 or as I am known on TFL:

[Jamie Young]

OH NO NOT ONE OF THEM!!!!;)

Yes it use to be called Twins about a year ago. The Cowboy action shoots actually screwed up one of our TFL shoots a few months ago. Water and Wings booked us on the same day as a Cowboy action shoot without thinking. And we had to cancel our shoot.

Yes your invited and you can bring whatever/whom ever you want. Some of us Veteran TFL Members are only going to bring our 22 rifles and pistols for this shoot. We usually all bring Military Style weapons but we're cutting back.

They do have Hot Dogs and Snacks inside so you should be able to have something to nibble on.

[K80Geoff]

OK, who is going for the Pizza this time?

[Dead]

There are a few good pizza places right up 663 in East GreenVille. I wouldnt mind making a Pizza Run LOL.

I goto one of 23, about a mile from 663 all the time when I am out there.

[K80Geoff]

Ah HA! I can see you have never served in the military:D

I have a feeling we will be spending some time in the clubhouse.

[Jamie Young]

Who's Bringing the Cards and Stogies?

[Dead]

Enlighten me, was does it mean in the military when someone says "PIZZA RUN"?? Never heard my dad or uncle talk of such things...

Guns, Ammo, Cards, Cigars yeeeehhaaaaaawwwww!!!! I am in.. :D

[K80Geoff]

It has absolutely nothing to do with "Pizza Run" and everything to do with volunteering!

[Dead]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?? I volunteered LOL, just not for the Mil.

[Jamie Young]

About the Pizza runs you were sent on?????????????
??

Tell us some Army Stories:)

Or do we have to build a campfire first?

[pdmoderator]

Hey, Sodapop,

All I gots is 9mm and .45. Am I still allowed?

Cheers,
- pdmoderator

P.S. Tried to reply to your msg but your private box was full.

[Jamie Young]

What kind of guns do you have?

[pdmoderator]

Glock 19 and HK USP .45 var7.

- pdmoderator

[3 gun]

Thanks for the kind offer Soda Pop. My plans are still kinda up in the air. I have a friend who may come along so we can split the driving. Big question is still the weather in route. It would be nice to meet some more members and get out of the house for a while.

[Dead]

Maybe there will still be snow by this Sunday??? Nothing like going shooting in the snow.. I'll Bring a parka, a 22, and some cards. ;)

[chaim]

I may go, it would be nice to put a face and real name with some of the TFL ids. I can't be sure though, I'm pretty broke these days. Though shooting .22s instead of .45s may help make up for some of the gas money and if I can get a buddy to go and split it that would help.

Where exactly is Quakertown? How do I get there from Maryland? I'm in Columbia, I can get there with directions from Baltimore. Approx. how far is it? I am assuming it isn't more than a couple hours each way so I could easily make a day trip of it, if I'd need a hotel I probably won't go (again, I'm pretty broke).

I've noticed alot of MD, PA and DE people here. Do you all every get down to MD for a shoot?

[Jamie Young]

Here's the address Look it up on Mapquest. 9173 Janes Lane
East Greenville PA 18041

If you need any more help let me know. Quakertown is 40min from Philadelphia. You looking at about a 2 1/2 hour drive. Plenty of guys that are coming are coming from as far as you.
There are a ton of people from Maryland and Viginia here.

[pdmoderator]

How would people feel about doing name tags?

- pdmoderator

[Dead]

I think we had this 'talk' at the first meet I attended. I wouldnt want to wear a tag that said "Dead" at a range. Cant imagine why that would be. :rolleyes:


If you get there and are wondering who if anyone is from TFL, just start asking people!!! That is what I did. Just happened that I asked K80Geoff :D

I mean what is the worst that could happen, someone says "No"???

[RAY WOODROW 3RD]

Mrs. Woody6 and myself are still coming to the shoot. We will be possibly bringing some others also. How is the range SodaPop? Did they get new wood put up yet or what. If not, what do we need to bring along with our WEAPONS OF DEATH? (2x4's, cardboard, nails, screws) WAIT A MINUTE!:eek: Is this going to be a get together shoot or a working party! The next shoot is at my place! :p

[Jamie Young]

I'm counting on that:)

Bring wood if you can. I have some stuff to stick into the ground. I just hope it isn't windy. This place is almost always windy. The wind blows from your right out to 300yds and then from the left from 400-500yds. Its just the way the trees and the valley open up.

[Jamie Young]

DonQatU sent us all a bunch of targets. They are all Man Size targets and should be great for 22 Rifle shooting. I think I have about 25-30 of them.

I've going to have to break the rules for the 22 shoot at some point for 45 seconds. I have to settle the score with a few people here and once and for all its got to end. I got about a half dozen cranky PM's from Mini bashers that I have got break the rules and Break out the Mini 14.

Atleast Jody Hudson is coming and the rest of you are going to have to tell DonQatU that you seen me shoot up his targets at 400yds. Maybe he'll send us more free targets next time too:)

[RAY WOODROW 3RD]

Free targets? I love anything that has "free" attached to it. What's the cost again for the day, and do they have ammo and targets you can buy? Food?

[Marcus]

Hey Soda what time are we all meetin there? Or is it a come when you please kinda thing? Marcus

[Jamie Young]

Early Bird Catches The Worm

9am-4pm

They throw you off the range at 4pm now so get there early.


$15 for the range and they do sell Some targets for like 35cents. YES you can buy hot dogs and junk food but Geoff Ross is going on a PIZZA RUN at some point during the day. Or was it Dead?

[Dead]

I should get there between 10-11am. I think I will be bringing atleast one person with me.

[K80Geoff]

Hold It right there! Dead volunteered to do the Pizza run:D

I refuse to get involved in the "Trailer Park AR" soap opera. This time get some other witnesses:p

What is the weather forecast for the area:confused:

[RAY WOODROW 3RD]

[RAY WOODROW 3RD]

Fellow Gunners,
I have the target situation under control. I have 8 different types of targets printed out 25 times each on 8 1/2 X 11 paper so unless you want bigger targets than what I'm gonna supply, the targets are on me.:D See ya Sunday!

[RAY WOODROW 3RD]

[RAY WOODROW 3RD]

How many females are going to show up or is my wife (Mrs. Woody6) going to be the only one?:(

[Jamie Young]

I'm working on My friend.

She just applied for her CCW, but she has never fired a gun. I was hoping she would let me know by now, whether or not she was coming. I could have asked some of you to bring some CCW sized pistols for her. The only thing I got is My 38 Special snubby.

Heeeeey!!! Don't hold a Grudge Geoff!!!

You and Dinosaur already posted for me before, but I've failed to shut some people up, since I don't have a camera. Why don't you get in on those Debates. I get so much hate PM's and Emails from People every time I make My claims. Its got to end:barf:

[Jody Hudson]

See ya there folks. There will be two of us from southern Delaware there.
With:
Digital Camera
Lots of long range military targets
Some .22 QuikShok ammo
Some other .22 ammo
Guns: Walther TPH, Mod. 41 S&W, Thompson Center rifle, AK 74

What else do I need to bring SodaPop, did I forget something?

[Jamie Young]

Do you have an Pine Wood laying around? I was going to go out to Home Depot tomorrow and see if I can get a piece.

[Jody Hudson]

No I don't have any pine SodaPop and my trunk may be full or nearly so, when I get there... :)

Hmmmm, if I see a building site with some scraps though I'll stop and see what I can find in pieces of cut off 2"x4" if that will help.

[FlyinGN]

What is the weather forecast for the area

[Jody Hudson]

The current guess is sunny and 50 degrees for the 27th

[Green Republican]

Damn. My wife's working so I'll be with the tots. My Winchester 9422 and I will be there in spirit.

[Jamie Young]

Well thats a Legitamate excuse. Keep checking back!!! We have these things every 2 or 3 months.

[Jamie Young]

Allright!!
I'm all set!!!!!!

I got plenty of wood and back stops for everyone. We should be ok as long as its not too windy.

[Dead]

I have got target's :)

Well a few of them... Some 22's now I just need to find a rifle ;)

[FlyinGN]

Okay Soda.. Whats the final count on people coming? Looks lik enice weather.. The only problem is we are going to Atlantic City sat night with a few friends and will prolly be out most of the night:) So its gonna depend on how I feel Sunday morn. I may be bringing my father in law too

Frank

[Marcus]

I`ll be there for sure. I`ll probably be bringing a friend who`s been lurking on TFL too. I`m bringing 3 rimfires and one or two something elses. He`ll probably bring a 10/22 and maybe something else. I`m psyched! I even went out and bought a red dot sight for my 10/22 just for the shoot! Course they gave me the wrong sight base :rolleyes:...but I`ll get it exchanged and should have it mounted up in time,if not sighted in. Marcus

[Jamie Young]

FlyinGN
I don't do head counts anymore. I have serious bouts of depression after 20 people say they are coming and 9 show up.
Besides, K80Geoff is still hunting down all the people that said they were going to come to the last couple shoots.

DINOSAUR!!! The Weather looks really good on Sunday HOW ARE YOU FEELING ???????????????????????????????????

I invited about 5 Non TFL Members but nobody said they are defanitly coming.

I have to pick up My Marlin 22Mag tomorrow because I had a scope and new Mounts put on it. I can't wait to shoot the thing. It was My First gun and I got a really nice scope for it now.

[Dead]

Whoa!!

I am low on 22LR ammo, need to stop on the way in... :)
Not to mention I only have about 20 rounds of 30/30.

[RAY WOODROW 3RD]

Mrs. Woody6 and myself will be there.:D
Looking forward to some good shooting with fellow gunners. I'm bringing my AR-7 scoped up with a Red Dot scope, Glenfield/Marlin in a dragonov stock with a red dot scope, Glenfield/Marlin with a regular scope, Glenfield model 20 bolt action with a scope(I love scopes, can't you tell), S&W model 18-2 revolver, S&W model 22a. Plus other non-.22 type firearms. See ya there!:p

[FlyinGN]

are there any gun shots in the area that I can visit for some .40m ammo? On 309 maybe?

Frank

[Jamie Young]

There are WalMarts and Gunshops up and Down? If your heading North On 309 from the Philly area there are atleast 2 gunshops right near the 202 and 309 intersection. Actually Donn's Gunshop is right there.


WAIT A MINUTE!!! Its Sunday so I think they are closed. I'm pretty sure there is a Walmart and a TruValue hardware store in Quakertown that have ammo. You should go out tonight to a Dick's Sporting goods or Walmart instead of tomorrow.

[3 gun]

As much as I'd planned on being there, 3 guns going to have to pass on this get together. I have to get the MC out. 55 and sunny in Jan, who would have thought. I'll be looking for the post shoot report. Have fun.

[Dead]

I just got up.... Gonna get ready and leave soon..

Soda,

I am going to stop at the walmart in Quakertown as I pass right by it on my way in....

22's only right ;)

P.S. There is a HUGE Walmart, in Quakertown on 309 (just north of the 663 juction) I think it is like 2 lights north of there.

just follow your nose when it comes to finding the ammo in there ;) That is if you are a true TFLer :p
