I'm in there somewhere.... Here's a clue: look at my avatar, then look at the picture again.

Well I had a pretty good time today, but unfortunately, I didn't get to spend much time with everyone else. The friend I was teaching to shoot required most of my attention. I got most of my shooting in after everyone else had already headed to the restaurant. Her asking me to take her shooting was kind of a last minute thing, and I hadn't planned on having to do that; but whenever someone asks me to teach them, I follow through. The more shooters we have, the better off we are.

Whoever it was who offered me a chance to shoot their P220, I'd love to take you up on that another time. I just had too many things going on, which is why I declined when you offered.

Also, whichever of you besides AndyC who shot my M1A, do NOT blame me if you now go out and buy one of your own. You know you wanted one anyway. You can't pin that one on me!

I'll bring an extra walker.

I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know if I can make breakfast or a lunch afterward, one or the other maybe, but probably not both. My son will definitely be coming. My wife probably is coming. And I have at lease 3 or 4 friends who want to come too.

For me it was my C6-C7 and now after 8 years C5 is showing some degeneration due to the added stress from having C6&C7 fused. I would imagine your L3 will get the same results,but the Dr said I did not need to worry for a long time.

Yeah, part of my problems today is because L3/L4 and L5/S1 are really starting to break down.

You can shoot FMJ in the tactical range at Elm Fork. The problem is that the distance is only about 25 yards. Of course, for a Mosin, that's probably ideal.

That's two votes for Mercado Juarez! It's in the lead to Genghis Grill's one.

It'll be nice to have you and the Missus!

It's also at least 2 votes for me wearing pants.

I dunno.... the jury's still out on that one. I'll have to ask my wife what she thinks....

Don't worry, I'll be wearing pants.

I'll see you there!

Maybe by then I'll have forgotten I want to slap you.

Heh heh. You wouldn't be the first.

Pawpaw wrote:Just tell me when & where and I'll do my best to be there.

I'll bring:

Sig P239 9mm with CT Lasergrips
RIA 1911A1-FS (5" GI model with mods) .45ACP
RIA 1911a1-CS (3.5", box stock) .45ACP
Kimber Ultra CDP II .45ACP

If someone brings a new shooter (or is just curious), I can put my Kimber 22lr conversion on one of the RIA's.

9 a.m., Saturday, October 2nd, Elm Fork Shooting Range, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., World....

....Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe.....

..... Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

If we're going to go to Elm Fork this time, the 18th is off because of the get-together at Alpine that day. What a wonderful timing problem, no?

10/2 would be fun. 10/5 is my 58th b'day.

Discussion / votes?

Saturday the 18th is our big Skeet Day (viewtopic.php?f=87&t=37398" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). The 25th looks good for me.

Keith wrote:Elm Fork sounds good to me also. Annoyed Man your not going to bring the Springfield Scout

Mine isn't the Scout model, it's the full length Loaded model.... but yeah, I could bring it if you bring the ammo. It prefers bullets in the 150-168 grain range.
