Hey John, got two more guys coming with me, what should we bring other than pellets? Lawn chairs, meat, soda pop....what else, or is that it? How big is your yard again, have a feeling it's gonna get awfully small with a bunch of us packed in there......I can't wait!!!! How do your neighbors feel about rocket launchers and hand grenades....I guess I can leave them at home, but would like to try a few out:)
Just kidding.......except about the "what should I bring?" oh and the "two other guys" part, there will be 3 of us. Hope my new valve gets here from Xisico before then so I can PCP! Might even put me another CO2 gun together for the occasion....

Dan, Shelly has a small list of food and utensils, that I will let people choose of what they wanna bring. We are gonna be providing the meat pretty much, a broad range of beef chicken and snausages hehe. We will just leave it up to every one else to bring the hamburger buns, weiner buns,corn on the cobb, beans ,potato salad, normal salad, soda's, plasticcups,and silverware. That kind of stuff so tell me what ya wanna bring and I will cross it off the list.
John
-
Excellent, I will reply via email with a list of what I can bring.
Getting real pumped about this thing!
Dan

Ok I figured I would wait until now to post this hehe. Here is what we are gonna do. I know people will be showing up at a little bit different times but thats ok. So here is what is gonna happen. Everyone that is bringing stuff to shoot will pick whatever they wanna shoot but as soon as you get here you will pick your gun of choice from your personal arsenal and you will shoot a 5 shot round. The distance will be known to you once you arrive so no practicing will be allowed hehe. The best group and closest group to the BULLSEYE will win the big fat T-bone steak and will get it served to them hehe. I will have a digital caliper to measure and we will be going from center to center of farthest outer shots. The targets will have your name pellet used and the distance and we will all decide who did the best a democratic vote. As I said the distance will be a random choice and I wont even know until Saturday morning what this distance will be. SO get your eyeballs and airguns tuned up because this will be the first 5 shots you take when you get here.

I'll take that medium rare please:)
(wink)
Well, depends on how far that target is, I may be shooting my open sighters again tomorrow, stupid PCP giving me grief still. Do you by chance have a 10M class T-Bone steak, I plan to bring my pistol too:) Also plan to build those 3x3 target backers tonight, should give us some stuff to shoot at. Still shooting for 10 O'clock, but it'll most likely be a little later. I'm a real sloth in the a.m., but I have a couple people waiting on me too, so I guess no late night for me tonight.
See ya tomorrow......
Oh yea, how many other GTAer's are ya expecting?
Dan
-
I'm packed and ready to go.... I just hope that the weather holds out.
-
I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake......oh, it's only 6:15, guess I shoulda hit the snooze button:)
Haven't swing by WallyWorld to fill my cooler with soda, then load up the SUV, then wait on my friend to show up, then we plan to stop at Cabela's on the way up to find a rifle case. Friend of mine couldn't decide which guns to bring, so he's bringing a whole bunch, but he didn't have enough cases!
See you soonish,
Dan
-
Dan... I'm impressed, the thought of that T-bone must have got to to you :D
-
Yes, T-bone!
I've got a rifle sighted in for everything between 10 and 100 yards....just kiddding:)

Sounds like you guys have a good thing going there! Third times a charm, hehe, Hope everything turnsout better than planned, and I think you've planned it well this time. Gonna try to have a little get together at my place Memorial day weekend. You're ALL welcome to drop by!
I am building a dozen Field Targets and ,with the help of some guys from the defunct, but hopefully resurrected, Arizona Airgunners club, will learn about shooting Field Targets. Gonna have 4-5 lanes setup in the backyard and will be shootin from 10-45 yards at whatever shapes I come up with having Kill Zones from 3/8" to 1 3/8".
I hope enough guys will show to make it fun. Doing a l;ot of late nights making the targets as I'm doing a complicated mechanism as it sets back up more easily-16 different pieces to each target. Cutting Drilling Welding Bending Sawing Drilling Riveting and Painting!
Have fun Shooting , and Eating for one lucky soul!

Well, let me be the first to thank John for an absolutely amazing day... and fantastic food.
There was enough to feed a small army and the "range" was truly fantastic.
I'll not give anything away at this point, I'll leave it up to the guys who took the photo's
and who did all the hard work to tell the story.
All I can say is DARN! this RWS460 shoots exactly where you point it.
I had a magic day! :D :D :D
