Austin Get-Together - October 25th

[Texas1911]

5 Days until the event this Saturday.

Just a heads-up.

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.

I was looking foward to this but looks like I'm going to have a 4 day weekend so I am heading to S. Texas. Plan on some dove/quail hunting along with some fishing. Everyone have fun and stay safe.

Just 3 more days! I don't know about you guys, but Friday is going to be a looooooooooooooong day!

Well I hope I can come to this. As far as what I have, have a Walther P99 in .40, CZ P-01 9mm, Ruger LCP .380, 2 Mossberg 500s (on HD, one full length) 12 gauge, Mossberg 100 ATR .270, Ruger 10/22, Yugo SKS 7.62x 39, Romanian "G" Kit build AK 7.62x39. I plan on just bringing the LCP and the CZ, but if someone wants me to big something else I can do that.

Dihappy, I would be ecstatic if I could shoot you sub compact storm. That little thing has quickly topped my list as a must have based on design alone, but it would be even better if I could shoot it!

I live in San Marcos if someone is looking to pair up around here.

I'll have 4 Mosin Nagants and over 600 rounds I will need to shoot up. Also my new 1911. I'm in Elgin if anybody needs a ride.

I'm sending one of our forum T-Shirts with one of our moderators as a prize. He's tasked with coming up with a course of fire to win it.

As I stated in the other forum:

Ooh! Does that mean we're going to have some sort of competition?

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....

This range cash only? And is there going to be a cheesy sign hanging for us to gather or do we just have to guess on each others usernames?

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.

IN!

yes, they take credit cards at Lone Star. I'll be renewing my membership on this outing.

I'll be there for the shooting, but can't stick around for Black's. (mmm... brisket )
