I look something like this:



Leaving now to get supplies. Be at the range in a couple of hours.

IIRC, they take cards too.

Um, not sure about the signs. I can bring name tags perhaps. I suppose a sign would be doable as well.

As I stated in the other forum:

I had not considered that, but it certainly sounds like fun!

Hmm... what kind of contest should we have?

25yd Mousegun bullseye?
100yd Mosin-Nagant sharpshooting?
50yd 12ga. slug bullseye?



Oh the possibilities....

Looks like we're going to have a fun day on Saturday!

I'm going to be purchasing the materials for target boards for shotgun practice in a couple of days. I'm going to be bringing some bottled water and assorted drinks in an ice chest to sustain us during the event.

Everyone make sure to bring eye and ear protection!

I'll have a few pistols - FEG PA-63 (9mm Makarov), FM Hi-Power (9mm), and Ruger LCP (.380). I'll also have 2 Mosin-Nagant rifles (91/30 and M44 - 7.62x54R) and a Remington 870 HD shotgun (12ga).

Everyone is encouraged to bring whatever you want to shoot (within the guidelines posted by Texas1911) and anything you'd like anyone else to shoot.

If you have cheap targets, that's also a plus. One of my favorite things to do on the rifle range is spread a bunch of shotgun clays on the berm for some fun reactive rifle practice.

I'm in the North Central Austin area, near DPS HQ, if anyone is interested in carpooling.

So it looks like we're going to go ahead and make this a 2-forum gathering. The folks over at the texasguntalk.com forums were planning a range day for the same time, and since there are several folks here on both forums, Target1911 proposed that we make it a 2-forum event. So all plans remain the same, except that we'll have some additional folks from another forum. The more the merrier, I say!

Going from the results of the poll I posted, I'm scheduling an Austin get-together for Saturday, October 25th.

We'll be meeting up at Lone Star Gun Range around noon (I'll be there a little earlier). My guess is that we'll shoot and talk until 5-6pm, then depart for dinner at one of the Lockhart barbecue establishments, probably Black's.

Everyone is encouraged to bring any guns you want to shoot or share. If anyone wants to "try out" other folks guns, I'd suggest posting here and see what everyone has and what ammo you need to bring.

LSGR has both a rifle and 2 pistol ranges. There is a moving and shooting pistol range that can be used and is good for shotgun practice as well. Buckshot is suggested if you're going to be shooting a shotty, in order to be respectful of their target boards. I may fabricate a target board or two for us to use with shotguns, so we don't tear up the range's boards.

If it's your first time to shoot at LSGR, there is a $5 registration fee. All-day shooting is $12. 1-year memberships can be purchased for $65.

You can check the range's website out at http://www.ctxpta.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .

Black's Barbecue's website is at http://www.blacksbbq.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .

Out-of-towners are welcome, and you are more than welcome to bring family/guests as well.

So we can have an idea of how many are coming and possible do some carpooling, please post letting us know if you can come.
