I met you guys back last may,and haven't really kept up with you since...my apologies,but I would like to have the whole clan out to the ranch for a BBQ and groundsquirrel shoot in March

Whereabouts is that ranch, generally speaking?



I was also thinking about a shootout here. I don't have much for critters but there are some nice 75-100 yd. possibilities. It would still be several weeks out but might be a good opportunity for the city folk to get some long range practice.

The ranch is in Ramona,and is 350 acres of groundsquirrel holes.Check the website for directions. creekhollowranch.com I was thinking about the 13th,20th or 27th of march.We can do a BBQ lunch,and there is a rifle range there for cartridge guns.

Absolutely Noisemedia...As long as you can tell the difference between horses,buffalo,and groundsquirrel you are invited!

If I am able I will show up...Im not much of a hunter (other than some pigeons here and there) and I'm probably pretty inexperienced compared to most of you all but I would love to attend something like this.

Noisemedia you talking about the shoot tomorrow? Go to the regional page under san diego and one of the posts has a waiver form to fill out.. then come on up tomorrow will be a stakeout day viewing the location and setting up shooting lanes then some plinking ... should be a fun day.

Jim March 20th works for me....

: jeff8541 February 28, 2010, 03:09:31 AM
Apparently the 20th. is out.There is a kids birthday party using the campground that was rescheduled from this weekend(due to rain) I'm pretty sure all the parents would freak if we were popping squirrels all over the ranch while the children are bouncing around in a Jumpy-Jump!How does the 13th. or 27th. sound to you guys?
: Re: ATTN: san diego airgunners
: noisemedia February 28, 2010, 03:19:41 AM
That would be cool. I bailed on the thing today because of cold, so Im hoping for this one to go through.

: triry February 28, 2010, 04:07:20 AM

I'm interested in attending this thing. Is there a solid date?
: Re: ATTN: san diego airgunners
: SoCalFan March 09, 2010, 10:30:51 AM
Deal me in. Anytime is good with me as long as it starts around lunch time as I'm driving down from LA...
: Re: ATTN: san diego airgunners
: SoCalFan March 09, 2010, 10:34:22 AM

I can swing by and lend a hand or two. April/May sounds like a good timeframe as well. An ag newbie, so don't count on my contribution, but on my enthusiasm...

hey guys.........we're using a buttload of bandwidth here. pm me with an 'rsvp",...i'll be meeting with jeff to scout the area as far as ingress/egress, shooting lanes, etc. as far as this point in time, we're looking at the 27th of this month.
