Re: Private Range (my range) issues

For those who missed out on today's shoot out at his place, you missed a GREAT TIME!!! There were rifles, Class III Full-autos, pistols, movement drills, and an interesting discharge I provided.

When it went off, the round sounded like it was a light load or something. The slide didn't cycle and we were concerned about the round staying in the chamber. I picked up the brass and walked over to the table and I waited about 20 seconds, cleared it, pulled the trigger, disassembled, and pulled out the barrel (which was clear). I looked at the brass and it was quite distorted. Someone suddenly said "Hey... that's a 9mm!!". (*facepalm*) Looks like a 9mm round must have fallen out of my hand when I was trying to load my K9 and fell onto the .40 tray.

When the round went off, it expanded to fill the chamber.

Looks like it'll go off, but then you have to rack to get the next one. I don't recommend it at all.

Brian, thanks for letting us out there. I can't wait to do it again!

Re: Private Range (my range) issues

Brian, I didn't get an updated email from last week's response, so I'm assuming the shoot still begins at 8. Hopefully, the clouds are generous with us today. =-]

Re: Private Range (my range) issues

Any AR's coming? I'd like to try shooting one (never have before). I'll be happy to bring my own ammo if someone's willing to let me try out their rifle. I have an AR I just bought a lower for (still need to go to Mooney and do the FFL transfer...maybe tomorrow?).

Re: Private Range (my range) issues

Awesome! I'll be bringing my 10'x10' pavilion out there to provide a little shade that morning. I'll probably head out after lunch unless things are really going well. I'll be bringing a couple of coolers if any of you need a place to stash non-alcoholic drinks or food. If anyone is bringing a grill out there, let me know and I'll bring something besides a couple of sandwiches to eat.

I'm really looking forward to this! =-]

Agreed! Nothing will stop them like an official letter from an Attorney, asking them to stop or you will pursue legal action against the continued harassment...

Re: Private Range (my range) issues

My wife and kids will be out of town the weekend of the 12th, so this would be the perfect weekend for the "Shoot-Off" for me. ;-]

Re: Private Range (my range) issues

I will be MORE than happy to come help out as well! I need somewhere to set up tactical shoots and if you're in West Williamson County, you're close to me!

PM me info if it's okay. Thanks!

EDIT: I just looked up where Liberty Hill is and you're about 20 minutes away!! On a side note, I'd be happy to donate some cash to help you out. Can't give much, but if it means a place I can go shoot, I'll be more than happy to help out. I'm starting to build my first AR, so I'd love a place to go shoot it too. =-]
