Who has the "group" picture that was taken in the TAC bay? Post it up!!!!

Wow, what a great time and it truly was a pleasure meeting everyone. I agree that we need to try and make this an annual event. Who knows, maybe we can get those southern boys and girls up here too.

I want to pass along my thanks to Moby - His help in getting things set up and also inviting Chris from DAPS to come out and talk with us.
AndyC, thanks for your help too with the range and getting our spots squared away. Sorry I couldn't stay for trap shooting as the kiddos were not in the mood to wait on Dad.

And, thanks to everyone that came out and made it an enjoyable experience.

CDub, I'll PM you my bank account inf so you can wire me money for the 2 each 15-22s I am going to have to buy now. It is your fault and I think it is only fair that you contribute a third. Thanks again for allowing the kiddos to use the M&P 15-22. They enjoyed it a lot and TBM and I will be buying one soon, I'm sure.

Great day so far

It's a wooded area, so he doesn't want any fires without someone in attendance; I'm sure we can manage that.

He said that he's probably going to put us on Pistol Bay 9 or 10, so I've marked that with a big red X - I'd suggest that we gather there

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Well, that's a dumb question..................................All of it of course.

Bring what ever you feel like sharing. I think we have about 25 folks coming right now.

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.

I may be hog hunting out west in several weeks but that is no promise I will come home with anything. That's why I am shopping for a new scope for my Sig 716 308.

T_B_M will work up a Pot Luck thread.

We will probably end up smoking a brisket or a turnkey. Since we got off on talking about Bacon and Sriracha on another thread, you better count on me bringing related items.

Brisket / Turkey
Bacon wrapped stuffed Jalapeno
Sriracha Dipping Sauces

Sounds yummy. You can even add Sriracha to some of the cream cheese to make em spicy.

Otherwise I was just thinking about bringing subway sandwiches for my daughter an me.

Please don't do that. You guys can hang and eat with us while we are talking about shotguns.

Will, that is great. The_Busy_Mom will start a thread in a week or so to start gathering all the potluck stuff that is needed.

TBM and I plan to stay until the range closes.

puma guy wrote:I never know when my wife decides we need to visit the grand kids, but if we come up that weekend and you'll allow OOT (out of towners) I'd like to join. Pending no conflict with the Houston Get Together.

You are more than welcome to come!!!!

AndyC wrote:We can do shotgun too, if you guys want to shoot skeet - might be better to do it after lunch.

baldeagle wrote:Andy's going to teach me how to shoot. :-)

Man, you are SO going to owe me!

RX8er and Busy_Mom - I'd strongly suggest phoning Elm Fork and just check that no other group wants that day as well, just to be on the safe side.

Good point, thanks. I think Moby was taking care of the reservations! I'll reach out to him to make sure all is squared away.

Any more confirmed folks coming?

Seriously though, I am part of the wedding party, so I HAVE to be there.

All day, what's up with that. You should be able to find some time to stop by.

jmra wrote:The wife and I were going to try and make it when it was a restaurant venue. But I'm not ready to dip into the ammo reserves for the range and cooking out is just going to be more of a time investment than what our two boys schedules will allow.
Maybe next time.

Shooting is not a requirement to come out and be a part of the get together. I'm in the same boat and don;t know if I'll be shooting.

Come out, meet a couple folks, eat some BBQ and leave. I'm cool with that.
