I'm sorry too.....What is age rangers new .45?

I had intended to meet you guys in Plano today. However, I will have to pass this time.

I will seek out the forum table in Mesquite and the TSRA meeting. Hopefully, I'll meet several of you then.

I hate to miss you guys....I did shoot last weekend with The Marshal....but I'll try to get there....I'd like to put a couple of more faces with names...I've met several forum members and all have been great guys....The Marshal, Cyphur, Nitrogen, KBCraig....

Bullet Trap looks pretty good are you'all going there?

And I'll be wearing a blue/white plaid flannel insulated shirt/jacket with a hood.

The Marshal and I will be at Targetmaster in Garland at 1pm today for any who would like to meet up with us.

Bill, I'm like Age-Ranger.....I'll play it by ear depending on the weather. My intentions are to go, unless we have ice on the roads. Right now it looks like it will hold off until Sunday. So, I should see you there.

Still haven't heard from TC-TX; so I'll make this alternate proposal:

Unless we get ice and snow in Dallas Saturday, I'll be at Target Master at 1pm. I'd enjoy some company.

I haven't heard back yet from TC-TX on the availability of DFW Gun Range. Hopefully, he'll respond soon.

I sent a PM to TC-TX to see if he would check on the DFW gun range. Will advise.

Well guys, the poll I ran showed that the second Saturday was the most popular, followed by the first Saturday.

My thinking is that it would be best to have someone that is familar with a particular range volunteer to be the host or contact. They could check with the range about availablity and prices and see if the group of us could shoot together.

TC-TX, since you spoke up, and you work there, DFW Gun Range would be a good start. Can you check and let us know if the second Saturday in January would be good?

Thanks

Well, it looks like we have overwhelming interest in coming up with a "regular" range date and location for Dallas area forum members. And we've had a number of suggestions/recommendations for ranges to use. It was my orginal suggestion, but I am open to suggestions as to how to implement this. It's probably going to be easier to set the date than the location. I'd suggest we stick with the first, second, third or fourth Saturday of the month. I could put together a poll to determine preferences of days. But how do we pick a range from all those submitted? Do we rotate?

You're not alone. I just bought an XD-45 at the Texoma Gun Club.

Dallas Pistol Club does sound interesting, but that $175 initiation fee + $150 annual dues makes it cost prohibitive for some.

DFW gun range is located sort of on the west side of Dallas and would be handy for a good number of us. Their webpage speaks of meeting rooms and a lounge. Either of those would be nice to use to visit before or after. TxInvestigator used to be associated with them. Perhaps he'll comment.

Right now, I count 17 that are interested in participating. Make that 19 counting bigolbigun and myself.

Wow! I started this so I guess I need to move it to the next step.

A couple of thoughts - we could either have it at one range or a couple of ranges. If we use more than two its going to be hard to remember where each time. We've got some members on the west (Ft Worth, Grapevine, Lewisville) and some on the east (Rockwall, Mesquite, Wylie, etc) We could pick one range on the east side and one on the west side and take turns. That way the driving is shared by everyone.

I only have experience at two ranges - Garland Public Shooting Range (outdoor) and Targetmaster (indoor) both in Garland.

Any other suggestions for the east side? How about the west side? or is there a range somewhere in the middle that would work for all of us?
