Hi folks,
For those that do not know Range hours on Saturday are 9:00 am - 6:00 PM

I propose we try to meet at 10:00 am, shoot the pistol range, BBQ and eat at 12:00
Then shotguns and rifles after.

I invited Chris Alcedo the President of Dallas Action Pistol Shooters (DAPS for short)
to give a short talk on the difference between International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA), and US Practical Shooting Association (USPSA)
and the needed equipment for each. I intend to ask Sam (range manager) if I can get a contact for shotgun and rifle shooting sports to come and represent their sports.

I tried to get Mr. Cotton to come up but he is teaching a class that day and cannot make it.

I also recommend all CHL instructors bring some business cards. Folks please try to bring a friend or two to the shoot.
The more people that meet mature professional CHL holders the less hestiera there is over us carrying guns. You'll be surprised how many people say they support the 2A then feel weird about people actually doing it. Promoting the 2A is important. But in a responsible manner.
This can be a great opportunity to introduce others to shooting and support for the 2A.

I'll be going up to meet with Sam and get any instructions and info he may want to share.

And do I understand correctly that all ammo must be purchased at elm fork and shot at elm fork?

The range closes at 6pm.

No, you may bring your own ammo. If you want to shoot on the 100 yrd rifle line, you cannot use FMJ. They have ammo at the place to buy if you would like.

Sam mentioned they do not have a lot of rifle ammo for the 100 yard line. I'm having a hard time finding .308

OK folks I just got a call from Sam the pistol range manager.

We are a go for April 6 and can BBQ at the pavilion. We cannot be a “closed” group at the pavilion but I figure the more the merrier anyway.

ALL BBQ GRILLS MUST LEAVE WITH THEIR COALS IN THEM!!!
So if you don’t have a truck don’t bring a grill. Cuz ya can’t dump the coals. Also think about how you’re going to secure your grill top if you use coals. I recommend propane grills if ya got em. If you use coals please make sure you let them cool before traveling.
I’ll be posting the range rules as soon as Sam takes a picture of them and sends it to me.

All rifle ammo on the 100 yard range must not be FMJ. 50 yard range FMJ is OK.

Ammo is sold there TO BE FIRED THERE! No buying ammo to go home. For some reason they ask for mags to be loaded only to 10 rounds. All other standard range rules apply. But please check back here for a complete listing.

I’ll keep this thread updated as more info comes in.

So far there are about 20 folks planning to attend from within TexasCHLForuns.
I've put together many an event such as this and you can usually count on 1/2
attendance from those who register. Not because folks do not want to come but
just because life happens and schedules change.

As this is a shooting event and there are CHL instructors and otherwise Pro CHL
attendee's I suggest we open the event up to others outside TexasCHLForums
to do two three things. Promote CHL classes and interest, promote the website,
and meet new friends that may take classes with instructors that attend.
This also will motivate the sites instructors to bring some folks to the shoot.

I am asking folks not to circle the wagons with the "Let's only have it be us"
mindset. After all most of us do not know one another yet and whether someone
is a forum member or not will make little difference.

What say you? Should we take a poll?

FLASH TRAFFIC BREAK BREAK BREAK!
THIS THREAD HAS BEEN HIGHJACKED!!!!!

Resectfully fella's let's get back on track.
PLEASE only post info regarding the DFW meet up.
I ask this humbly.

I spoke with Sam tonight with Elm Fork Shooting Range.
He had dropped the ball and forgotten about my request.
He did say they had a picnic area at the pistol range.
He is unsure if we can BBQ there
(fire and insurance reasons etc.)
He's going to check.
He has asked me to come out to the range and meet and walk the area.
I'll get all this together.
All i ask is if you say your coming to this even please try to commit to it.
I understand no one can predict unforseen events, but please try to make it.
This can be a great Dallas meet up.

I'll be there with two adults and my 13 year old daughter.
The daughter may drop out, teenagers change their minds often.
