Oct 10, 2009 shoot at Ron's
« on: August 22, 2009, 04:05:56 AM »
Aliens???   I have heard of crop circles but brush piles!!!!!!!!  I have been looking for a sign to host another shoot and it turns out that the Aliens cleared out an area that would work for a shaded shooting area so here goes.  Time will be from 9am to 5pm on the second Saturday in October weather premitting.  We had 5 tables setup at the shooting line last time so I am bumping it to at least seven with more to put our gear on.  Distances in the range of 40-60 yards max.  Instead of taking a break and going out to eat we will just eat here to extend the shooting time (that's for Brian and Gary).  I will have a grill setup for cookiing so feel free to bring what you desire.  

As last time I would appreciate and email so I can gauge attendance.  

Ron

Forgot to mention for perspective the last two shots have me wearing a white tshirt an holding a six inch cow bell with a one inch orange dot on it just to give a better idea of the max distance.

Ron, count me in!
The last one at your place was terrific. We ought to have great weather at that time of the year.

FYI, Ron's back yard slopes way back to a thicket with a creek with woods on the other side. There are some wonderful old pecan trees in his back yard, too. In our part of Texas, you need to be near a creek to have the big trees and dense undergrowth. It's a beautiful place to shoot, and Ron is a gracious host. Don't miss out on this.

Count me in too Ron, after missing the last one I'm long overdue for a shoot.  :emoticon:
I hope there is a good turn out, I've not seen the guys for way too long.

Hi Ron,
I plan to be there.  It is marked down on my schedule.  I will bring targets and gun racks.  I could also bring a charcoal grill and chairs if needed.
Let me know what else you need.

I've owned bad guns, I just don't bring them to the shootouts, it's all about "looking" cool, haha!!!!

I just checked - the airfare from Columbia SC roundtrip to DFW is only $288 that weekend, leaving Fri and returning Monday. Tommy, Bob, and Gene, we'll let you shoot our guns...

And you already know I will be there. I'll bring the red canopy, the target box, the little table (if you need it), a stack of airguns, and a cooler of Refreshing Adult Beverages. May even drop by the night before to make sure all your rifles have scopes on them....
