Re: Let's Party! DFW Get-Together May 14th (Taking headcount

The .40 and .45 make similar enough holes that I don't think my wife could have discerned his holes from mine. And this is even more difficult since there weren't too many single holes made by TAM's .45. Mostly just one great big one!
Well, for it being a day with so much pain, I did OK I guess when I actually shot. My thanks to everyone for letting me try their guns, and most especially thanks to Pawpaw and others for helping carry my stuff to and from my car.

Lunch was great. The food there is good, and the fellowship was better.

I especially wish I had felt better for the skeet shooting. I love skeet, and even though it can be frustrating for a beginner at it, it is scads of fun. I just got to where I couldn't stand the back pain any longer and I had to go home and get horizontal.

Thanks to RAM4171 for letting my shoot your little Kahr MK9. You've just made arriving at a choice for a single stack 9mm that much harder, and I think you for it. :mrgreen:

Also, I don't remember if it was you or Diesel42 or Chasfm11 who offered to let me shoot their Sig P250, but I regret that I didn't get around to doing that. I really wanted to, but got distracted.

I missed HotLeadSolutions' offer to try out his Walther PPS—another single stack 9mm on my list of "wanna try's."

Special thanks to Hoi Polloi for all that you did to get this thing organized. I know it is a lot of work, and your efforts are very much appreciated.

All of you are a great bunch of folks. It is my privilege to get to hang out with you. I have been flat on my back since I got home yesterday, but I'm going to try and get up and go get some lunch with my family. Wish me luck.

Re: Let's Party! DFW Get-Together May 14th (Taking headcount

I'll be there, but I'll be gimpy. I pinched an intercostal nerve in my mid back yesterday, and my back and right side have been in spasm ever since. I'll bring my skeet gun, but I doubt I'll shoot it myself as the though of twisting my body while holding a shotgun to my shoulder makes me shudder.

I'm off to get ready right now.

Hope to see you all there.
I'd sure like to try that PPS of yours, if you don't mind.

I am probably coming to the restaurant. My son and his fiancé will be joining me for the shooting portion. I don't know if they will be wanting to eat afterward. I'm only a parent, so I am not kept fully in the loop as to their intentions. :mrgreen:

No, it won't. However, the ROs will let you shoot in both a pistol bay and the tactical bay if you purchase a tactical bay admission. But generally, at least from my experience, access to the 100 yard rifle range is not the same. I asked once at the range office, and I was told that admission to one area does not grant you admission to another area. However, the deal with the tactical bay and handgun bay seems to be what is actually practiced, as opposed to what the range rules say. But, if you want to shoot an iron sighted AR15, the tactical bay is fine.

In fact, when you pay, they will issue you a B27 target for either the handgun or tactical bays; but they issue a completely different type of target for the 100 yard rifle range; and they do not allow the use of B27 targets on the rifle range at all. They were pretty emphatic about that last point.

Re: DFW Spring 2011 Get-Together

I selected all the dates. :mrgreen:

For food, I'm game for whatever. If someone has a grill they want to bring, I'd be happy to help out with the cooking.
