[Dead]

K80,

they come in quick once you order them! SO if you ordered it already you should have it BEFORE Oct 30th! I think I got mine in like 3 weeks or something

[Jamie Young]

I'm getting great response from guys over at FnFal.com. Looks like we might see more FALs that usual.

I'm guessing we are close to 20 people coming but we still have over a month to go. I have another 10-20 people that are probable going to wait until the last minute.... as usual.

Keep spreading the word.

[Marcus]

Sounds like there`ll be lots of "evil black rifles" there. A fitting tribute to the death of the AWB. I`m gonna try and actually get some time in at the rifle ranges myself this time. Gotta break in the new Bushy M-4gery. Marcus

[Jamie Young]

Which reminds me........

I'll ask that anyone that is bringing a rifle to try and use it at the rifle range. The pistol range has a tendency to fill up quicker since the majority of you are pistol shooters. You can use rifles on the pistol range but sometimes it is a little too much racket for those on the firing line. We'll adapt to whatever the situation calls for, but just keep that in mind.

I'll also pull a few tables off the 100yd rifle range just so some of us can get off the benches and shoot off the ground or some other shooting positions. I'll probable bring a shooting mat since I don't like to shoot off tables anymore.

[David Park]

Don't worry, the crowned 16" barrel on my AR is real quiet. Folks love to be next to me at the NRA indoor range. Not much muzzle flash either.

I plan to stake out a spot where I can shoot the AR at 100 yd and the FAL at 200 yd. Tables are optional; I'll bring a GI sleeping pad. I probably won't do too much pistol shooting.

Should I bring the shotgun? Are we doing sporting clays?

I invited a local guy to come with me. He's been shooting before, but I don't think he owns any guns yet.

[Jamie Young]

I doubt anyone will have time to do the whole Sporting Clays course but I think the 5-stand is do-able.

[Jamie Young]

Has anyone heard from nvrquit?

[K80Geoff]

Maybe he has become just quit

I just received notice that my M1 is on the way

Should be here today!!!!

Dat was fast!!!! !!!!!!

[Dead]

NO SLEEPING WITH YOUR RIFLE!!! Well unless you are in boot camp of course.

[9mmMike]

I doubt anyone will have time to do the whole Sporting Clays course

Not the way we do it anyway.

[Norton]

I may have to take this as an opportunity to make the acquaintance of some of the fine folks on this board. The THR shoot is scheduled for the previous week, but I have a feeling that the range is going to be stupidly over crowded and I don't want to wait 2 hours for a bench again.

Any other MDers thinking of making the trip up?

[Jamie Young]

but I have a feeling that the range is going to be stupidly over crowded and I don't want to wait 2 hours for a bench again.

This range is going is going to be OURS for the whole day. There is enough room for about 20-26 people to be on the firing line at a time. I estimate there will be 20-60 people coming but there will be plenty of time to shoot your guns and other peoples. If you don't have room to shoot somebody will make room for you. I, along with several others that come don't have a problem laying on the ground and not using tables.

The pistol range will get crowded.

I haven't met too many of you down there. I meant to come down there a awhile ago but never did. I almost went to the CO and Utah shoots a couple times (since I have family and friends out that way) but it fell through. We've had guys from NY, OH, MD, VA, NJ, and DE come to the Pennsylvania gatherings.

I'll probable only have them 2 times a year but its nice to actually meet people that you see on the gun boards everyday.

There will be plenty of guys from other boards but the TFL/THR crowd will be dominant.

[Jody Hudson]

Personally, I will bring one or two tables and one or two chairs with me. And, there will be some of us OLD FOLKS that need to take a break now and then...

Jamie, do you plan a dinner this year for those who wish to attend? That was a fun and fine end to the day on the first year I attended.

[Jamie Young]

We went out to dinner everytime except for the last time. I guess it depends on how tired everyone is. And it is michief night so some people might not want to be out too late. Although it would be pretty funny if somebody tried to throw eggs at us. How about a bayonet charge if that happens?

There are hotels/motels in the area so some of you long distance travelers can crash there if you feel like it.

Jody is being smart by bringing a table and chairs. You won't have too many places to sit down (except for the firing line) unless you bring a chair.

I'll bring my table for everyone to use but please organize your stuff and label it. There may be a couple hundred firearms there and bags and gear might start to look the same.

Anyone bringing a State Flag?

I need somebody to bring an AK sighting tool. I have 3 AK's that need to be sighted in.

I'm probable just going to bring:

Colt 1991A1
Sig 239

Winchester Model 70-30/06
DSA-FAL
Bulgarian AK
MAK90's
AR and maybe a Mini 14.

[Jamie Young]

What is it with the birthdays?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE B!!!!!!!!!!!

[K80Geoff]

Guess what I'm bringing

Plus my AR and bolt guns.

Don't plan on bringing handguns unless someone has a special request.No shotguns either.

[Mike_B]

Thanks Jamie.
