Elm Fork works for me. But you will cut into our dove hunting time on the weekends in September.

Proudly carrying since 09/10.

The doves are apparently not voting in the poll because it appears that Oct 2 at 9 AM has the lead.

Shall we go out for brunch/lunch afterward? It looks like there is a Genghis Grill, a Chipotle, and a whole bunch of local cafes and diners that I'm not familiar with in that area. Any suggestions?

Oct 2 works for me also. Annoyed Man thanks for the offer as I love your rifle but it would be a pain as we would have to move to the opposite end to shoot it and the we wouldnt be around the other members.

I will bring some 10mm hanndguns with some rounds if anyone wanted to try a few shots. I have a 50 cal DE also but dont have any bullets at this time. Also a Nite Guard S&W 357 mag if someone wants to try a light full frame mag revolver. Besides that anything else I own is already coming there by other shooters.

One more if anyone wants to try the new Remmington 887 Nitro Mag shotgun let me know. It feels like a shotgun but it is a new model.

Genghis grill is good. I've never left unsatisfied and always take some home. The key is to pack as much stuff into that bowl as possible :) I have a lot more rifles than handguns so i'll just be bringing my browning highpower, a highpower clone, taurus 92s,makarov and maybe a snubnose .38. October 2nd is best for me because i'm taking a vacation at the end of this month and it'd give me more time to stock up on ammo.

Here are two videos of a guy making use of the steel range at elm fork. Wish they had videos on their website it'd be good marketing.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Dueling tree.

Fees are different whether you want to shoot steel or not:
$15.00 Paper Targets
*DISCOUNT: 10 rounds for $120.00

$20.00 Steel for 30 minutes
*DISCOUNT: 10 rounds for $160.00

It's a bummer that some of you won't be able to make it. Next time, definitely!

What shall we do for food? (Food is important to me. Particularly the sweet kind. :anamatedbanana ) Genghis Grill has one nod so far. Any other commentary?

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.

So what's our head count? Do we need to call the range in advance? Please vote in the current headcount poll above. I'm so excited by how many are attending and I want to make sure I do whatever can be done in advance to make it all run smoothly. I have no experience, though, so those of you in the know, please point out anything I need to do or consider.
