Bring Your guns and Pray It doesn't rain Again!! Pennsylvania TFL shoot!!!

Jamie Young · May 26, 2001, 06:28 PM

Since it we had such bad weather today The shoot is going to be moved ahead two weeks to Sunday June 10th. Let me know what you all think about that date?

dinosaur · May 26, 2001, 06:38 PM

The next weekend would be a problem.

Did you go or not? The weather never cleared up here.

rms/pa · May 26, 2001, 07:07 PM

4 of us showed up , very nice site,yes it rained...
slowed some but never stopped raining. had fun anyway
dead brought the most toys..... love that SAR.

100 yd pistol was a real test for me... failed it misarably
but was good fun.... love that SAR

rms/pa

Jamie Young · May 26, 2001, 07:11 PM

rms/pa you missed my 300yd shot with my Model 70!!! I got a lot done even though it was bad weather. I hope you can make the next shoot even though you said you didn't think you could.

Dead · May 26, 2001, 07:51 PM

Soda yeah that shot was nice!!! I guess a few more poeple are getting SAR's soon now huh??? They are pretty sweet, and hell of of lotta fun! I will send the pictures, yes all two of them, that I took. I will be out here from the next shoot on the 10th. Hopefully it will be better weather! I will bring more stuff to the next one

Jamie Young · May 26, 2001, 09:44 PM

Yes SAR's are sweet guns!! I think I can go over to the Rifle Forum and post some opinions on the 5.45x39 round now. I'm going to bring everything I own with me, and the 700rds of 45acp that I never got to shoot. Next time I'm gonna set up a clay at 500yds and blow the #$@! out of it! Actually I think I'll bring some balloons up and shoot them. I wanted to do more shooting with my Mini 14 but I ran out of ammo. And I forgot to bring my SKS

Matrix · May 26, 2001, 10:57 PM

I'll have to miss it, as we'll be packing to move from Indiana to Bucks County, PA that weekend. Maybe next time,
I'd like to meet some shooters in the area.

Dead · May 27, 2001, 01:17 AM

Ok I'll I have to bring more SAR's next time, Fun little round that 5.45x39. When I get home tomorrow(today), I'll post those pics. I also got one of my friend's saying they will come out to the next shoot, as long as I let them bring their baby....

I gotta remember to bring a shell deflector for that SAR, or use the end o the line.

I just saw Peral Harbor at the Regal in Quakertown WOW long movie started at 10:30, just got in. Damn good too!

Oh yeah remind me to get a shell deflector for that SAR!!! I killed Soda's Soda with a 5.45 shell casing!!!!!

Jamie Young · May 27, 2001, 09:45 AM

Yeah thats right, My Coke can was an innocent bystander and got wacked with a 5.45x39 shell for no good reason. It is a good idea to bring a shell deflector, especially if a lot of people are there.

Marcus · May 27, 2001, 10:08 AM

I can`t believe I missed this thread! Good thing for me it rained today.

June 10th is good for me, count me in.

Marcus

K80Geoff · May 27, 2001, 04:42 PM

Getting showered with SAR 2 brass while trying to shoot . Found brass (or is it steel?) in my sweater afterwards. Curse you Dead, now I'll have to get an SAR 2

Can't understand why only four of us showed up. The range was covered and shooting was quite pleasant. ARs and AKs are made to function in the rain.

We had the range to ourselves. Very nice layout, all the way out to 500 yds

Bring your Shotguns next time, they have a new 5 stand next to the pistol range

I'm beginning to think I am a jinx, bad weather every time Soda plans one of these shoots. If I promise not to come will you guys show up?

Geoff Ross

Jamie Young · May 27, 2001, 05:09 PM

NO Geoff you better come! I actually liked shooting in the rain. I shot my 22magnum 200yds and shot a 7inch group. Not too bad for a gun thats not suppose be able hit anything that far out, especially in the rain. You should put a scope your AR Geoff so you can shoot out to 300-500yds. I'm going to bring some balloons next time for 300,400 and 500yds.

Dead · May 28, 2001, 07:04 AM

K80Geoff,

Now you have to get a SAR2, and return the favor with all that steel I dumped on you

(aimsurplus.com has them @ $240 ea. still). Ok now on to the pics!! (Yes all two of them)

Here is one of the range, it doesnt do it justice!

Here is one of SodaPop. (Note his can of Coke before I took it out, with a spent 5.45 caseing)

K80Geoff · May 28, 2001, 09:30 AM

You can just barely see the 500 yard berm in the pictures! Nice photos, take more next time!

BTW - rms/pa, there is an interesting thread on the 38 S & W on the 1911 forum:

http://www.1911forum.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002642.html

Nice to see guns with history like yours.

How Ironic you took a picture of me, with a can of Soda,and gun in my hand

darogue1 · May 28, 2001, 10:52 AM

June 10 could have been perfect for me. A sunday,my weekend off aah. Now wait what are these...... advanced tickets to WWII weekend at the airfield in Reading. It just is not fair.---DAROGUE1

Jamie Young · May 28, 2001, 11:25 AM

So go to the WWII think on Saturday? Kyle your Uncle had an SAR didn't he?

Dead · May 30, 2001, 03:53 PM

hmmm anyone alive in here?

K80Geoff, SodaPop, RMS/PA... Get a SAR2 Yet????

darogue1 · May 30, 2001, 07:07 PM

I would go on Sat but I work night shift friday night and it is too late to ask for a day off. Also going with a bunch of people on sunday. If I could have gone Sat it would have been an excellent weekend I'm sure of that! Yea my uncle has a SAR in 7.62x39 but we haven't shot it yet. Shoot strait-----DAROGUE1

Dead · May 30, 2001, 11:16 PM

darogue1,

We are their late for the most part, we left at ummm 6pm when it was RAINING!! So show up!

[Edited by Dead on 05-31-2001 at 01:09 PM]

Jamie Young · May 31, 2001, 04:44 PM

I never fired an M1Carbine so you better show Darogue. Plus your Uncle's SAR will fit in nice. And I have my "TRAILER PARK AR" with me.

Dead · June 1, 2001, 01:40 PM

What is a "TRAILER PARK AR"??? I would guess you mean a Mini-14?? Those are nice

I am still working some people over to see if they will come out for this. I some people that live right down 309 that might come out????

Jamie Young · June 2, 2001, 06:09 PM

I never heard anyone call a Mini 14 a Trailer Park AR until Darogue told me. I'm still waiting for him to start a Thread over at the Rifle Forum with that title. Maybe after a few of you guys witness a 2MOA Mini 14 next week I'll post something. I'm going to see if I can hit paper at 400yds next week with mine. I have to do some reloading first though.

I'm wondering what happened to everyone nobody responded to my June 10th date. I wonder if everyone got the email? Dead and Geoff did you guys get an email from me last week about the new date? Or did you just see the new Thread here?

Dead · June 3, 2001, 10:00 AM

I got both of the emails that you sent SodaPop.

I did not reply as I already said I would be out at the next meet, before the last one ended

Hopefully I can get a few others to come out with me this time.

K80Geoff · June 3, 2001, 11:45 AM

Yes I got the E Mail.

Like I said I'm not coming so that the other guys will come. I know they haven't come because I am there so if I din't show up they will be there.

OK, how about a 400 yd shot with iron sights with my AR

I believe I can do it if the target is a man sized silouette (one of those pistol targets the IDPA guys use). I hope somebody has a good scope, my scope is useless beyond 200 yds, need good glass to spot the rounds.
