    WooHoo! Weiner Dog and Pink tear-bucket award! :) I'm not complaining. Any publicity is still good publicity and a kick in the rear to shoot the handgun better!

    We had a terrific time, everyone! Thank you all for making this happen. You have no idea how amazing it is just to get away from the city and into the back yard in God's country and send some lead down the range. It's a must for me!

    THANK YOU ALL! :)

    Oh I fully understand what you mean about this as due some of our other members who work downtown Chicago as well understand. That is why I love going to Winamac and just being away from all the city noise and stress! :patriot:

    Hi all, just wanted to say thank you again. We had a really nice day. I got to shoot the SCAR again...thankyou repeter, and it was so very nice to meet your mom! Also, now that I shot your 45, I will have to think about rearranging my short and long list of toys I just have to have. OH my gosh it was nice and not what I expected at all. Thanks again!

    And thankyou to Jedi and KLB and all those who make this event happen!!

    Like you Jedi, I'm going to wait a bit before I make my comments. I want to take some time to mull it over and not give a knee-jerk reaction. I will ask this though. Does anybody in the group have a welder and know how to weld decently?? I have an Idea of a way to make us as we'll as the DNR happy......

    I'm not saying we should just say "screw 'em" and leave without seeing if we can compromise first. At the end of the day it is the states range and so it's their rules.
    I'm just trying to start the dialogue, on our end so we know what to try and bargain for.

    And when you say welding I assume you're making something out of metal, I doubt that will fly with DNR. Metal can make things bounce back.

    Looks like you guys had a great time... sorry I missed it but I was shooting somewhere else all day...

    The new rules don't sound like deal breakers... I would be in on helping out the youth group they have also...

    I think the indoor range at Blythes would be great for December and January even though we would be reduced to handgun caliber firearms, the only thing that would need to be fixed on that is the ability to use the range on a weekend during the day without messing with thier ability to make money... but really they stand to make more money from shooters buying ammo with a good showing from the group than what they would loose from hosting the event I believe... Anyway's see you guys next M&S.. the Saiga wants to be shot.... and I might have the 1919 running by then...

    No more than the nails and screws they use to attach the plywood to the post.....

    Glad that you had a great time, and got to shoot the SCAR and the 1911 as well. They are wonderful to shoot, which is why i bring them out everytime.
    Part of my AAR, check the batteries in the sight, make SURE that the range bag has back up batteries. Oh well. Thats what the back up sights were for, and they really didn't die until the end. But lesson learned here.

    I do. I've got a Miller. It's been a while since I did any serious welding. What do you need?

    Every time someone shot the M1A, you could hear a faint "noooo" from their wallets.

    SHOT, you damn auto correct, lol
