Summer 2009 FAL Shoot

[brunop]

That's right, kids - it's time for a new topic. One that is close to everyone's heart, and makes mom happy to have some 'alone time' in the middle of the summer vacation....

We said something in an earlier thread about June 27 and 28 (Sat/Sun) for 2009. Third year in a row for this weekend. Doesn't mess with work, and doesn't mess with the Fourth of July (important, since I'm hosting my Third Annual Fourth of July Shoot for friends, neighbors, and new-comers) :biggrin: . Oh, y'all might have some plans of your own, too...

You want to get ready for the best shoot yet. We've upgraded significantly every year, and this year will be no different. All FAL said that he'd get some lane-clearing/firewood harvesting done from the shooting area up to the back of the pit. This would be perfect. I'm adding additional steel targets, and donating a BP of SA .308 for a prize of some sort on a shooting contest. I expect that there will be other prizes donated as well.

Shooting:

1) Drop 8/Timed Popper Match. How long does it take you to knock down all 8 bad-guys? Known ranges on small targets.

2) Gong Match. How fast and how 'efficiently' can you ring five bad-guys twice? Unknown distances on 12" targets.

3) Drop 4 Bolt Gun: Best time on 4 silhouettes at 200 yds.

4) Sniper Match: elimination contest. Hit the silhouette at 300, advance to next round. Miss - take a seat.

5) King Match: one standing shot at the target. Winner is made Almost-Deservedly-But-Not-Quite-World-Famous with photo of target on the Files. No faces unless otherwise cleared for posting.

6) Saiga Blast-Off: all shotgun rounds on one piece of plywood (think 4' hallway) at 10 yards. For time, of course.

Divisions:

1) Iron Sights - Men's and Women's
2) Optics - Men's and Women's

AKs (all variants except for those shooting x54) go in the Mouse Gun category (holy crap, is Pluskat going to hate THAT...) for failure to penetrate 1/2" iron pipe at 200 yards. Every time. Anyway, Pluskat, you're probably going to win the MBR Irons with the Mosin... Edited to add: No MBR v. MG categories. Shoot what you want to train with. And live with the consequences...

All shooting is going to be combat/binary - either you hit or you didn't. Tie-breakers for this type of shooting don't reward a 10 versus a 9, because in combat it didn't actually matter if you shot a 9 or a 10. Tie-breakers will be by stop-watch: if you were faster with the same amount of hits, you win. Plus, it is easier and faster to keep score that way...

I suggest that some people offer up prizes that they are willing to donate. Like for example, Vagabond has a sweet park recipe that he's come up with, and if he donated 1 hour of blasting + park, he's donated something around $80 - $100...

I also suggest that people who want to shoot matches bring $10 (per shooter, not per event) to donate/help offset expenses. I'll take the money. The only accountability I offer is this: if you had a great time, you will come do it again. If you didn't think it was worth $10, you will choose to not come again, and bitch incessantly on the internet about what a jerk I am for ripping you off for $10.00 and how rich I must be getting by buying targets for other people to shoot up...Edited to add: I'm no longer suggesting the $10, I'm requiring it. Or you can shoot your own targets somewhere else.

Now, three final things which I've learned recently:

1) I'm not cooking anything for anybody. I'll be getting targets and ranges ready. In fact, I'll probably mooch anything that looks really good. Expect me to wield my new long-necked titanium spoon with Big Iron/Arizona Ranger coolness.

2) We need people to come to these events. It was cool to have some new people for this type of public shoot. Show up Saturday at 9:00 to meet people. We will start shooting at 10:00 AM. This means we actually need a sign-up that matters. We want you to say you'll come, and we want you to actually show up.

3) All FAL has graciously ferried people to and from the island at all hours in the past, but I'm not signing him up for this BS. How about this: All FAL will ferry you and your limited gear on Saturday night to the island, and back to reality on Sunday late (read: late...) morning. Bring a fiver for gas.

Can't start too early on the planning, as this would/could be our biggest/most organized/coolest shoot yet.

C'mon! Who is going to shoot against Pluskat and the Mosin?

Peace.

Edited to add: And I'm dying to sort out some kind of handgun match between Vagabond and Pluskat...

[Tuscan Raider]

I could make a summer trip easy.
Is everyone going to the island, or just the cool people? :)

[brunop]

I was posting publicly about the island because everyone is invited. I was mentioning Saturday evening for about 10 reasons, but the bottom line is that there is no way to get a shoot going at a reasonable hour on Saturday morning if we are camping on the island Friday night - even though that is what we've done in the past.

And I'm sure you are one of the cool people anyway...

Peace.

[sportsnut]

You know i'll be on the island eaten' crawdads and salmon........

[brunop]

You know I know, and you'll notice I put you on the list before you posted. You are locked in, bro.

How 'bout that game comin' up? Holy Sheeite. Gotta go with the Rose Bowl candidates - C'mon Beavs!!!!

My brother and I were not cool enough to go to the island back in '07:sad:. It takes a lot of work to get into the cool club:wink:.

Just kiddin', everyone who has an FAL is cool enough to go to the island.

[way2mello]

I need as many details as possible.

My wife's B-day is the 29th.

Of course this is not the big 40 or anything, but it matters to me to make her feel good about being older than me.

I want to make it this year.

I need to know what to plan for i.e. primitive camping?, tent and bag?, amount of food to bring?, help around the camp?, $$$ needed for the event?, any cards being played in the evenings?, so many questions, so little time --- actually plenty of time for me to plan this go round.

Please pm me and I will supply phone number --- lets talk.

Hey Erik,

If i remember correctly it wasn't about being cool that kept you off the island, but it was not knowing the difference between public ramp and state ramp.:D :tongue:

[ALL FAL]

I think they have the public/county boat ramp down by now, but we could post a highly detailed map, you know, just in case other new folks have trouble finding it.:angel:

You will have more details than you actually want; I refer you to the 'nekkid olive oil campfire dancing routine' posted in a previous thread...

Seriously though, we will get you all the info you can stand. Here are the basics:

Primitive camping. Like I said before - you can borrow my shovel, but you can't borrow my toilet paper. Bring water - it'll be hot, and there isn't any you can drink without filtering and/or boiling. Tent is good, but not required - some people just sleep out under the stars. I don't remember mosquitos being a problem last year, but that was last year...

Food you need to bring: Saturday lunch at the shoot, because everyone is on their own. Saturday dinner = some group food (salmon & crawdads). If you aren't contributing to the group happiness, then you better have beer or something else good to share. Cash isn't really that great an idea, because the group food is a group effort, and it's not like you are going to hand $1 to several guys... I brought my own food last year + steaks to share. Steaks got bounced out of the cooler and ended up being trashed. Sportsnut was generous enough to force plates of crawdads on me and my kids anyway. Excellent. This year I'm bringing steaks to grill and share. We can get a menu organized once we know who is coming. Sunday breakfast - you are on your own. I'm eating instant oatmeal because it is quick and easy. I may fry up some bacon or sausage. Sunday lunch = you are on your own again, and you may already be off the island. Some of us eat at DQ in Prineville on our way out of town. This will happen again, I assure you.

Help around the camp = 'none'. Unless we decide to make some log furniture for the firepit. But that would be a 'fun' project as opposed to something that 'had' to be done.

$ for event = $10/shooter for the shoot + $5 gas for the boat

Cards. No one in the group knows how to play cards. Maybe you can teach us.

More info to follow.

Peace.

I was just joking about the cool club. We just got there so late that we couldn't find the right boat launch. Next summer will be different!
Take care Bro!

[brunop]

Ohhhhhh buddy...

Dang - those Ducks looked really, really good. How about a defense that can hold USC to 17 points that gives up 700 yards to U of O?

Good for U of O, the Beavs don't really deserve the Rose Bowl anyway.


Unless UCLA can beat USC!!!!! Go Rick Neuheisel (barf)!!!!!!

Brunop does not look like a Killer, but......:D

[brunop]

Cold Blooded Killer of Old Posts, baby - no mercy.

I find myself sitting around not working and daydreaming about how to make the summer shoot really excellent...eight months before it happens. Is this a problem????

C'mon Summertime!!!!

[ALL FAL]

Hehehe, I don't have even a remote problem with you stepping up, I have learned a bit about organizing these kind of events, and am glad you have the desire to make each one better as I do.
I really have thought about making this an Invitational, as you can plan with a more "true" attendance in an easier fashion.

I bet folks would show up for a free guided Elk or Turkey or Huge Mule Deer hunt, but that is not how this summer get together works.
Original plan was a low dollar get together in a nice camping spot, have a safe,varied terrain for our shooting area, which we have both those , getting to know other Oregon folk of like mind. and RELAXING!!!!!

There are some we wish would attend, like Gillee, and Vagabond, but they have thier lives, and you can't shove even a good time down anyones throat, so I say screw em, Hahaha.. Geeze, the ol lady is startin to look good again...Nahh..:biggrin:

[Tuscan Raider]

How about doing something like "The Best Ranger" competition
where 2 man teams are drawn and we have to do some land nav,
shooting, and a small hike.

Best time wins.

Just throwing something out there.

[brunop]

Land Nav is interesting. Food for thought (which isn't to say that this can't happen...):

1. Last June 28th, it was 102* easily. I heard 104* on the radio. We had some people not show up to lay prone in the shade because of the heat

2. We could set up targets in the canyon, which would allow for hiking and shooting, but course set-up would be even more time-intensive than it is going to be now

3. We would be leaving some people out, as I can think of a couple of people's knees that aren't hiking the canyon


I'm actually up for something like this, but we might want to investigate how this could happen in a way that would work for everyone.

Thanks for the great idea - keep them coming.

Peace.

[brunop]

Like for example, we could set up some land nav on the bluff/camping side, which would lead to a location that had directions for shoot/no-shoot of some targets...

Relatively level
Land nav
one shooting location
Easy to score, reset targets, etc.
Still able to be timed

Just an idea.

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Well, ya got me goin now, I may show up at the canyon with wrapped knees and a couple extra pain pills, not to mention my new titainium prescription shooting glasses (thank you V.A.)!!!!! Yeah, I want to compete with you youngsters.

No one ever said we couldn't have two age groups?? Eh?

[sportsnut]

I could {and do} put the pain of my 5 knee surgery's and reconstructed left knee aside and still beat the young and healthy from the lawn chair to the beer cooler.:biggrin: :biggrin:

[sportsnut]

Yeah we could form groups from the number of surgery's each individual has had. Damn there i go again trying to sandbag a win....:wink:

[ALL FAL]

Cool old Bro, I don't drink to speak of, so you won't even have to rush the beer cooler!!! AND we could hide the beer from the youngsters!! Lets get our youth planning done early, LOL,Hahaha:beer:

[Tuscan Raider]

Your beer is safe with me. I have to drink hard liquor.:biggrin:

It sounds like I am lacking in the surgery department.
Is 1 even enough to enter?

How about this. A few points on the map will have to be found.
At these points will be markers that you have to collect to prove
that you were at the reference point. The final point will lead to the
shooting stage where everything will be tallied up. Time could
also be added at the shooting stage for missing targets.

Teams could leave as early as they wanted to, and teams would
have to wait until the team before them hit the firing line to leave.
Someone only needs to indicate when a team starts, and be there to
keep score after the hike/ land nav.

[brunop]

This is the stuff that makes young guys say, "...fuggin' old guys...", and the old guys say, "Old age and treachery beats youth and enthusiasm all day long".

What's the age cut-off - 40? Cool - I'm in with you all. We could put it somewhere around 45 or so - that would put Marlin in with the old guys, and me with the youngsters. I can hear it now...

Seriously - we could put everyone in the same group, and have the land-nav requirements, but NOT use 'elapsed time' as a scoring method. That way you could walk or crawl it and still get the same score. The 'problem' with this is that I will carry a Remington 700P with Badger bottom-metal and a 6-24x IOR scope and get an 'unbeatable' score (all center hits) - and if I make a land-nav mistake it won't matter because there is no 'time'. So...

I was thinking that we could do land-nav to a few (2 to 4) shooting 'stations'. NO TIME LIMIT on the land-nav, but once you got there, you would have to engage multiple targets - and this would be timed. Hits + time to get them = score. Land-nav is just a bonus to get to the shot.

Just one idea. Full of problems like:

Who's timing?
Who's scoring?
Who's setting up land-nav?
Who's re-setting targets that are 100 to 400 yards away in several locations?

Anyway, this would be a ton of fun, and if we had four-wheelers to do the job, we could get it done in short order.


Just thinking out loud.

Well I had to sell the boat so no help there, but I sure would like to attend the next one.
I wont know about the business conference until spring though.
It sure would be great to meet more of you guys, especially Chris the phantom customer lol.

If I can make it maybe I will even get into shape and give you guys a run for your money :]

[Pluskat]

EDIT: Although i'm 2 for 2 at this event..........

missed the one up at the high lake.....missed the one in November.....I don't know crap about sports but that reads "2 for 4" to me.

C'mon you big slab of erotica...it just ain't the same for me without you there. No-one else gets the homo references and some are even choosing not to put their sleep systems next to mine for fear of me "sleepdating".
(and all this time I thought it was due to my night-screaming)

"you see, there he goes again with the Gay thing. I'm not so sure he's kidding. No, I mean it. Has he ever tried to see if his sleeping bags' zipper matches yours.....'cuz....that would be a sign. Don't do anything that he might misinterperet as a....green light."

Now the truth is out, mang; that sand-bagging crap ain't gonna work, since the weekend report is that you were an Operator out there.

Makes me want to add the 'Land Nav' part of the shoot even more...

Peace.

NO sir.....Vagabond got us back to the right spot after the second night. Left on my own in the woods I'm toast. GPS bin.....berry berry good to meh!

[ALL FAL]

I must have missed something, Pluskat, lost?? Must have missed that story, and Dangittt Vagabond, can you still type? Come on and say howdy, I have to talk to all your buds to learn how your doing?

I'm over here doing exactly what I should be doing.:wink:

I call BS - not that Vagabond helped get you in the right spot, but that you are 'toast'. I know you are sneaking around getting ready for the big summer shoot.

Aren't you excited that you get to shoot both the Mosin AND the Russian Mouse-Gun (man, I love saying that!)? You could win both categories. Depending on what you and Sportnut work out, you might win the Women's categories, too... not that there's anything wrong with that... :biggrin:

Seriously, now, I think it would be a good idea to get together with those Eugene boys right away and do some room-clearing stuff at ARPC, as well as some prone 200 yard stuff with the rifles. We don't want to go over the hill at the end of June and lose in the big contest.

Peace.

[Pluskat]

Dave....brother.....don't cash in on all of us on this side of the hill just yet. Sure, there's a few who have gone "incommunicatto" but we still love you. I can't/won't speak for others, but life's tough and the fight's gettin' tougher by the day, so those who are quiet may just be "head down and swangin'".

Besides, you can't possibly think that all of us drive 3hrs, one way, just to find a place to shoot! We've got lots of spots over here. Visiting with a down-to-earth brother from the Files is part of the reason we make that trip.

[brunop]

Well said, Pluskat.

All FAL - just a few days ago you and Sportsnut and Pluskat and I were posting here about 'Land Nav' at the shoot and the race between you and Sportsnut to the beer cooler. Don't get too edgy too early, man - everything should be cool.

I know that the other guys here are glad to come over to your side of the hill to catch up with you and be closer to the 'middle' of the state so other people can get together - which is what this shoot is all about.

I hope you are well.

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Sorry Gentlemen, I deleted my previous post, what can I say, my meds quit on me as they sometimes do. Things here at home are up in the air, I'll do my best to be around, because I made a few good friends, you know who you are and I am a man of my word.

[Tuscan Raider]

Yeah ALL FAL, I want to meet as many falers as I can, including you.:wink:
No matter what we do, I'm sure it will be great.

[brunop]

Howdy, Dave! I hope you are well, and everything is getting settled on the homefront.

C'mon, all y'all - who's getting psyched for the big shoot in seven months...

Just kidding. Merry Christmas, and

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Thanks gent's, Hope all of you have a great Holidays.

[Erik the Red]

Only 196 days till the shooting begins! I Excite!

-Erik

[brunop]

All FAL -

I'm not exactly pressed for time at this point since the shoot is six and a half months away, but I was wondering if we should coordinate what and where the 'shooting lanes' should be cleared up. I'm willing to cut wood and work hard, but I'd rather do it in the spring than in 100* heat at the end of June.

I don't own a four-wheeler, but I could borrow one. I'm positive that I don't want to ride the shank's mare 400 yards down the range to reset/score targets in the summer heat after each shooter. Anyone coming to the shoot own one that they are willing to bring?

Finally, I don't have any particular expertise in setting up a land-nav section for the shoot. Again, I don't want to time the land-nav, but I do want to make the shoot 'positions' in such a fashion that (for this portion only) people have to find their 'clues'.

Anybody have suggestions?

T-minus 194 days....

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Hi Brunop, the land nav will be easy, I'll show ya when ya get here. 17*F here now, weatherman says about 0*F tonight. Winter is finally here on the high desert. Had snow flurries since last night, and all of today..

[brunop]

Car thermometer says 26*, and there must be four inches of snow up on this hill. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to work tomorrow, since there is more coming as we speak.

I'm sure we can set up the nav section, but I want to have shooters 'nav' to several spots, wherein they have to make a range and a shot. I then want to (and this is important) drive my motorized vehicle to score and re-set the targets. I envision this happening to the north, down into the canyon you were talking about.

At a different location (where we shot last time), I want several lanes so we can shoot out to 300 or 400 up against the back of the quarry/hill. I don't want you to do it by yourself, or at all if you don't want to. I just remember you saying that you were going to kill two birds with one stone: get the firewood for your permit, and make some longer 'lanes' up the hill.

I'm surely looking forward to it.

Peace.

[Tuscan Raider]

I would be willing to do a work/camp/plinking party in the spring
to get things ready for the summer shoot.

I am good for 12 man hours in 8 to have fun.:biggrin:

I can run a saw.
I like to camp.
I like to shoot.

I get away from the kid and wife.
What's not to like.

[Pluskat]

17*F here now, weatherman says about 0*F tonight. Winter is finally here on the high desert. Had snow flurries since last night, and all of today..

Sounds like the perfect conditions for a winter shoot! Anyone else.....?

[brunop]

I am in - this is just the thing we were talking about the other day. I'm thinking one night would be perfect. First or second weekend of January? Or we could do the 'official' BOB Weekend of Jan 25 to test some gear in cold weather.

I, for one, am going with the suggestion of a couple of the Zombie Hunter survival squad guys: normal BOB + "Winter Module". There is (wait for it...) NO WAY I'm going in 17* weather with a 28 lb. pack. Time to take a page from the SAS - pack in 80 lbs. or so, and then ditch most of it for the 'patrols'.

But I'd like to test my theories...

Peace.

[Pluskat]

If we can get a few "confirmed" for an upcoming weekend, like in January, I'd like to see if I can handle it with just the stuff on my back (the pack, not the hair) and have the tent in the Jeep just in case I wimp out.

Not wanting to go so much for the shooting this time, but just to see if I can "hack it" without more whining than what I regularly do. I'm thinking the Mosin and about 100rds along with the 10/22 and a brick.

Lots of hot chocolate mix (they use that in the SAS, just not the kind with the little marshmallows) and the required Mtn. House and I should be good.

Any other "men" interested in facing the cold?

I know you can !

[brunop]

I'm in for some cold. I'll take the stuff on my back, but it is going to weigh more than it did after a certain someone had the 'backpack shakedown' event...

I smell 'winter module' - like sleeping bag+overbag. I'll definitely shoot, but it doesn't have to be a big deal. I am curious to shoot the FAL in the cold, as it didn't do very well in the US Arsenal testing in the 'Arctic' conditions.

Where you wanna go? The east side would be cold. The west side would be wet. Somewhere up on the east slope of the valley/west slope of the Cascades would be both :devil: . We could do the 25 January date, which is the Nat'l BOB date.

Peace.

i reccomend a hike into Miller lake by chemult ....ice fishing at midnite for german browns ...30 mph winds continuos ..chill factor 30 below .....i bellie crawled in one time with only ... my underware and boot knife and a can of cheese wiz ...hehehe....be a good cold test for you guys ...just make me your beneficiary please ..hehehe ...hehe .really nice place ..12 mile snowsho in ....or if ya got dogs ..a rope and some skis ....

**** in my back

That was "ON" my back....ON, not IN!

You see, there you go talking all romantic to me again, but yet you never show up at these things beyond the island events. If I can't expect more of a commitment out of you, I will NEVER accept your marriage proposal and we will go on living our lives as two ships, passing in the night!

What the hell are you all talking about? You can read a compass and walk a hundred yards to the shooting spots. I smell the golf-course-hobbling, shoulder-pain-rubbing, I-haven't-touched-a-club-in-eight-years sandbagging BS that I've heard many, many times in my life from people who went out and kicked my ass. In fact, the BS-o-meter is pegged above the redline right now. :p

Now regarding a winter/BOB deal: you may or may not want to be super-ninja-hardcore like Pluskat is, but it would be fun. Especially if we caught some trout...

Mmmmmm, trout. I like the sounds of the Jan 25th even more. And I'll get cold to do it.

Peace.

Ryne caught this one the other day. It wasn't frozen out, but it was damn cold. He couldn't wait to get home and eat it. Ryne also got to add his "fishing" belt loop to his Cub Scout belt.
I had to settle for Elk backstrap.

Copy that.

Thanks bro !

[jerrymrc]

I have a trip next month back home. Now that the shoot is 3 weeks after Falfest in NM I might be able to make it out just have to check the vacation time.

I do hope that you all know that if I do come out that I WILL strap ggiilliiee to the bed or roof of whatever I drive out just to prove that he does exist.

I know where he lives and all it takes is a box of Milk Bones to get him in the car. From there he will have to prove himself.:tongue: :biggrin:

[brunop]

I've never met him, but some of the guys here have. I'd love to see him show up to the summer shoot with you.

Give a shout when you are out this way.

Peace.

I hold nothing against the young man with the sign...or his incorrect "quantity assessment" of the vittles.

His Pop on the other hand.......

"gimme a D"
"gimme a O"
"gimme a U"
"gimme a C"
"gimme a H"
"gimme a....well, the last one's a vowel, and it ain't an A,I,O or U!

For someone to use his kid to torment someone with signage, food and selfishness goes beyond the pale! I'd catalog more of my disgust here but I don't have time.....I have to fry up some baloney.....so there! :mad:

[ALL FAL]

Pluskat Bro, what are ya gonna do about these guy's treatin ya this way?
It's just not right with the pics and all, I can almost smell it cooking...

Dirty, lowdown and underhanded, Sportsnut has changed, could be mentally unbalanced like me, or he is catering to the "other guy's" with his fancy mouthwatering cooking... Come over here Pluskat and I'll get the best cuts of elk out. lol:biggrin:

[Pluskat]

Come over here Pluskat and I'll get the best cuts of elk out. lol

Buddy, I'm puttin' the details together for at least a full day excursion to your AO. (I was figuring on coming over and making sure you weren't sore at ME after reading your west siders "fugg off" post a while back.) Thought we'd sit by a fire, smoke some cigars and toss a few rounds at some really far off stuff. It won't be necessary to throw down the elk steaks to get me over there....but if you were gonna heat some up anywayyyyyyyy :smile:

I'll touch base with you just after Christmas to see what works for you schedule-wise.

[ALL FAL]

Cool Pluskat, yeah, we should get together. I will go Salmon fishing here in Jan. over on the trask, get my fill of King salmon, its always a killer trip, you're welcome to go on that one too.

Hey, it tickles me that gas is getting down so low now, at least those who have a few bucks put aside can still go on some good explorations from time to time.

[brunop]

Hey, Pluskat -

You got a date in mind? I'm pretty open the second half of January. I'm not open the second half of February.

Do you already have the Bionic Poncho Liner that is going out with you? I'm wondering how to make the thing work best and lightest.

Have you done the tarp-shelter + fire thing? Ol' Danny Boy gots to show me a thang or two on that play.

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Brunop and any others, Fishin for kings?? then run back over the hill to smoke and eat salmon?? I can show you how to sleep warm in any conditions, even without a bag, nothing but "natural" accomodations.

Hey, Dave -

Do me a favor, and leave me out of yours, Pluskat's, and Sportsnut's "natural" accomodations plans, will ya? I like a solo sleeping bag just fine. :biggrin:

I'd love to go salmon fishing, but I have no gear and no experience. Someone wants to show me the ropes, I'm there.

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Yeah, I like my own bag too. You guy's can joke around all ya want, but it sounds pretty guhay to me...

Brunop, time to show you the ropes on the salmon fishing, as soon as I get the word from my friends on the coast, I'll let you know when the kings are in thick, and we will go catch so many your arms will be tired out. Gear will not be a problem. Pluskat, are you going on this one?? Anyone else??:D

[Pluskat]

Pluskat, are you going on this one??

Can I SHOOT the fish?

Truth be told, I'm not much into fishing (except eatin' em). I get too impatient when they're not biting and I end up distracted by items in my pockets, ears and nose.

Now, if we're gonna go DRINKIN'fishing.....I'm IN!
(just don't let me stand up and stagger overboard)

Lemme know when.

(oh, and if that meat-miserin' Sportsnut is going.....I'm OUT!)

[ALL FAL]

Sportsnut, ya wanna go fishin?? we will be fishin off the bank and with some sand shrimp and very special cured salmon eggs, the hits come 1-15 minutes apart, we have had up to 5-6 fish on at once, and 30-50# fish are the norm.

I get excited just thinking about it!!!!!!:biggrin:

Dave, I'll give you a call soon.

I got the job that i was telling you about and start on the 12th of January. It was real hard saying good by to my old job and 13 years of seniority, but ya gotta do what cha gotta do. Started with 500 applicants, narrowed down to 26 for first interview, then 8 for second interview. All of this for one position. The good lord was looking out for me on this one. :bigangel: :bow: :bow:

Hey Sportsnut, that is Great news!!!! I hope everything works exactly the way you want it. You are the best of 500.:smile:

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Hey, Grinch...

How's things on your side? We are cold and wet over here. I'm thinking that we are going to be talking about Global Cooling any time soon.

Just like to remind everyone that the head meterologist at NASA just said that it isn't man-made CO2 that is doing it, it is the sun-spot activity. 20 year cycles. Get some warm clothes and some studded tires - the warming is over. :]

[ALL FAL]

Hi Brunop, did ya get the ammo factory going yet? I found 330 rnds of ofv 86 for 75$ , guy says it is hot stuff, may bend the op rod in his M1A, anyway its mine ammo now.

Hows it goin over here?? ya don't want to know.

[Rich of Oregon]

I would like to participate if the dates work out. I and my wife were the first ones out to the pit the first year. Did not make it last year. I never did figure out where the boat ramp was. How would camping at the State Park be? Some one let me know when the dates are final. I can bring food, beer, money and lots of guns and ammo, but I won't have a porter. Any volunters??? Rich

[ALL FAL]

Hi Rich, you could camp at the park, but the Island is way more fun and you don't have diesel rigs buzzing and grinding around all night long. I have no problem hauling folks over to the park for showers in thier facilities.

If you want to camp in the park, I would call the parks and get reservations for those days, I'll look and post the # for them and the county boat ramp will be well marked for the shoot, really you can't miss the turn if you look to the right as the road dips down and gets curvey near the lake.

Hope you folks can make it this year.

[brunop]

Hey Rich,

I second All FAL's invitation - I hope you make it this year.

The dates are set: Saturday June 27th for the shoot, and camping on the island that night. Some people fish, set crawdad traps, hike the island, etc. If I remember correctly, we don't get off the island all that early on Sunday.

It will be the best shoot yet! Starts at 10:00 AM. Lots of activities, and some prizes. Several categories, as we will be doing an actual 'shoot' like is done at other FAL gatherings: Mouse Gun (to include AKs), RR (real rifle... .308 and above), Optics, and Irons are the four categories we've come up with. Men's and Women's awards. There will be four or five contests: Drop 8, Steel Scoring, Long Range, Turkey Shoot, and King Shot.

Should be tons of fun.

Peace.

[brunop]

All FAL -

Hope everything works itself out soon.

No ammo factory yet - just waiting to see how much money there is to 'play' with. Still have a lot of interest, but the markets have dried up some of the initial funds that were available. Basically I'm trying to find out if there is $5M or if there is $50M from this group of people.

I haven't purchased ammo in a while - I'm hoping that the post-Christmas bust is going to slow down some of the purchasing, and leave some product on the shelves for little ol' me. We'll see about that.

Talk to you soon. Take care of yourself, and

Peace.

[Rich of Oregon]

Thanks for the replies guys. I will write it down. Rich

[Pluskat]

Mouse Gun (to include AKs),

...that is an OUTRAGE, and will not stand! :mad:

Hi Pluskat, good to see you are still kicking with your SBMG (short barreled Mouse gun) How are ya doin??

I was expecting this response much, MUCH earlier when I wrote it over a month ago (post #1 Nov 24 2008 :biggrin: ). Guess you weren't paying attention?

Bottom line is that your Russian Mouse Gun didn't pierce the backside of the (super soft) 1/2" black pipe (multiple times) at 200 yards (or less :biggrin: ). I bet $100 that the AR would do it. I know for a fact that the Mosin does it (every time), and so does the FAL. Self-regulated situation, friend.

As I said earlier - you can take solace in the fact that you will win at least one MBR (that stands for Man's Battle Rifle) contest shooting the Mosin. Then you can go over and win a Mouse Gun title, too (if you want to).

This is so fun (and funny), that I am really getting overly psyched at this early date to set up the big summer shoot. I can't wait.

Peace.

[brunop]

And there's really only three people voting on this - and two of them (All FAL and I) seem to be of the same mind. Guess your vote and a buck will get you a cuppa Joe somewhere cheap...

Hey, All FAL -

I'm assuming that if someone brings an AK-derivative that is shooting x54, we will let them play in Big Boy Land, right?


:biggrin: :angel:

Peace.

[Erik the Red]

I can't wait until the shoot. Am I gonna get bullied if I bring some 5.45x39 AK's?
Who all is going to bring Saiga 12's? We're bringing all of ours. Maybe a Saiga 12 competition should happen? Like, who can waist the most ammo the quickest.

Take care everyone!

-Erik

[brunop]

Hey, Erik -

Glad you are coming. I hadn't planned on bringing my Saiga, but I may fire up and do it if you are. Impromptu Saiga/other shotty contest might be cool. I don't have a drum yet, so the "Who Wastes Ammo the Fastest" contest is up to you...

No one is bullying anyone for their choice of guns (not even Pluskat...). You just have to know that 5.45x39 is playing in MGL (Mouse Gun Land), not in BBL (Big Boy Land). I'm shooting an MG as well as an MBR, so I can play in all contests available. Bring what you want. Shoot what you bring.

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Yeah Brunop, we can allow X54, Glad you are comming Erik. Maybe I can get the local guard unit to bring out some hardware and some extra X51 rounds, about 4000 rnds for us to expend?? Dreamin HuH?:biggrin:

We camp on the big Island at Prineville Reservoir. The pit and shooting area is between Prineville and the reservoir. I'm sure someone will chime in with exact local of the actual shooting area.
Prineville is located in Crook county Oregon.

[Gun Dr.]

Too far ahead for for me to say I'm in for sure, but put me down on the "Could Possibly Show Up List" and damned well wannabe. ;) I'm already in your backyard. (Deschutes County) Sounds like a lot of fun and yet another good excuse to expend expensive ammo. :D

Well, it's decided then...

AKs and SKSs in the Mouse Gun Group; Mosins, FALs, and other worthy smokewagons in the MBR Category (Man's Battle Rifle).

I think you should show up with both and win it all, Pluskat. Then you can say, "Nyah-nyah-nyah" to me.

[Pluskat]

I'm planning on bringing ONLY the Mosin and a .22....and a shotgun. (I already know how the rest shoot and the ammo's too pricey at this stage in the game to just run it downrange.) Are we gonna have "Iron Sights/Optics" be factors in which guns shoot against which guns? The heatwaves coming off the ground played hell with me and the iron sights last time out.

[brunop]

We are definitely putting 'Optics' and 'Irons' into two different categories. I don't remember anything playing hell with you - I just remember the 285 yard standing hits on the 1/3 size cowboy. I'm going to try and beat you, but I'm not counting on it. I just haven't decided if I'm going with the Garand or with the Enfield for the Irons Challenge.

Gotta work instead of thinking about the Summer Shoot...

My brother Karl and I will be there this year for sure. Karl and I will be bringing up a bunch of FAL's and to save a little money the AK74's will be brought out too. We'll just have to wing the Saiga 12 competition. Talk about a lot-o-fun!
Anyone bringing any .50 BMG stuff?

-Erik

[Tuscan Raider]

Well since x39 is considered pipsqueak, I will buy them at $300 per rifle.

BTW, I am way too ready for this trip. LMK if I can do more, please.

[Pluskat]

I just haven't decided if I'm going with the Garand or with the Enfield for the Irons Challenge.

Um...would that be the Garand your Old Man acquired a year or three ago? If so I'm calling "no fair". That's a NEW bore. I demand that anyone shooting against my Mosin do so with the same "orange peel"..."surface of the moon" bore condition my old rifle's got.

The test will be as follows....

The rifle's action will be open, muzzle angled down, and 10 pellets of #7 birdshot will be fed into the breech. If more than 3 pellets emerge at the other end, that rifle will be considered too new and will need to move into another class. :tongue:

I love the test - all depends on the angle I suppose.

No, not his Garand. But I will admit that mine (new to me last year) has a Danish VAR barrel on it. Bought it off a really nice guy here on the Files. I guess I'll have to shoot the Enfield, huh? Or one of the not-so-new FALs.

I'm trying to figure out how to shoot all the events with more than one rifle, but I can't see that being a good use of everyone's time unless there are multiple people who want to shoot more than once. Depending on what you and Sportsnut work out, one of the two of you might shoot once in the Men's Division, and once in the Women's? :? Maybe that's where you shoot the AK...

Based on past shooting displays and the above info., I'm for making Dave shoot the "Iron Sights Challenge" with his Tokie!
(if he wins, I'll pitch a hissy-fit that'll make the last one look tame) :uhoh:

[ALL FAL]

Been working over the already smooth Tokarev trigger, last time we shot it gave us fits, it won't this time and the sear surfaces will be case hardened and polished.
The FAL para will have an adjustable trigger (made by me) that I think you guys will find very respectable.

The PLR 16 pistol will have some tacticool enhancements too.

Looking forward to this next shoot very much. Like the Llama.45 that I picked up for $200, it is like new but needs the trigger worked too, maybe can get to that one also.

[Erik the Red]

Dang man, cool down! Your being very rude. :confused:

[ALL FAL]

DVsmack, you pushed it too far, you are nasty and vulgar.
Either back off with the language or all of the men here will ignore you.

[brunop]

DV -

Lots and lots of talk = nothing (0). Show up (you, your mouth, and your hairy hole) to the shoot. Bring your Daisy, a real rifle, and a real handgun, and be ready to get it done (so to speak).

The date is 27 June 2009. Prineville, OR.

Then we'll see about you.

:| :fal:

[brunop]

Dang it! Started that an hour ago. Went to eat dinner, finished up and posted, and got beat to it by the entire cavalry...

Thanks, WEG, for being on the job. I can handle worse than that, but being equally (more?) over the top in a public forum makes me uncomfortable.

Peace.

[brunop]

...and on to your regularly scheduled programming...

[Pluskat]

What'd I miss.....what'd I miss?

[Erik the Red]

Wouldn't it be great if "DV" showed up to the shoot? I wonder if he's a former FALFiles member that was banned. I wouldn't be too surprised. I guess some people are just too retarded for the internet.
Thanks for banning him, you did the right thing!

-Erik

[brunop]

I would think it was funny if any guy showed up to the shoot with a BB gun, a box of condoms, and a shirt that read 'Catcher' on it. But I would stay away from that guy the whole time, and my neck would get sore from watching my six.

And I'd be splitting the armed night watch with DB and a Oregon FALer so Pluskat and Sportnut could do the campfire dance...

[Vagabond]

Wow, 3 posts...he lasted longer than I thought!

[OREGON FAL'ER]

You dudes just got DB banned.

[OREGON FAL'ER]

He thought he'd come down here and play a little with you guys and BANG , banned.

[brunop]

I'm a loser!!!! I guessed it might be him, and I wasn't man enough to call it out publicly in case I was wrong. I'm still laughing (now).

Dang me for not running with a hunch.

I hope we can get him unbanned...

Peace.

Edited to add: Obviously I didn't get him banned - I was eating dinner when someone notified WEG. Unless he somehow randomly came over to Oregon for laughs?

[ALL FAL]

Well, lets see, I posted back, and thought it might be Db. screwin around so I did NOT call in WEG. Hehehe, 3 posts, he did a good job, I mod on another site and first thing I did was look at his profile... A punk is what I was thinkin, nahh not DB, LOL,, Hahahaha..

Great catch WEG. Thanks.

[ALL FAL]

Boy, DB is gonna catch hell for this stunt at the shoot!!! Hahaha..

He is a funny son of a gun, had me LMAO at the last get together.

Tell DB hello for me guys. He had us going for a few minutes didn't he.

[Erik the Red]

Who's DB? :confused:

[OREGON FAL'ER]

he is a very good friend of ours and probably the coolest guy youll ever have the pleasure of meeting. the best way i can describe him is to say if you took all the good things about each of us and rolled them into 1 person that person would be him. and good looking oh my god he is a handsome mofo. man i love that guy

[ALL FAL]

Yeah Nate, just make sure he shaves his hairy butt before he comes to the shoot, we wouldn't want to mistake him for a bear or loose Gorrilla.:tongue:

[Pluskat]

And, now, on to your regularly scheduled pre-shoot BS...

[brunop]

Guess this has to mellow a bit.

Or is that 'air out'?

:tongue:

If I can't go "full".....I ain't goin'!

[brunop]

I ain't goin' either. I'm out.

Peace (out).

Edited to add: It's Vagabond's fault I'm up this late. But we made cool shyte in the machine shop -and it doesn't have a serial number. I'll probably just trade it for food anyway - since I'm broke and have five kids who are always hungry...

[Vagabond]

Yer still up too? I thought it was the cold meds..

[brunop]

Glad you made it back in one piece! Thanks for heading in this direction for the shop time.

Peace.

[Tuscan Raider]

Does anyone have an old kids wagon we could use for a moving target?
Would be cool for a pistol stage. Stand a silhouette up and take score.
Couple of small pulleys and some rope would make it work.

Me, too, but I'm not buying one for the Shoot...

I am, however, looking into some reactive target/binary compound stuff...

Uhm, uhm, uhm, I don't know. :confused: Let me think it over for a day or two. The thing I'm worried about is what people will think of me driving a Prius. The getting shot at part seems less bad. :wink:

[brunop]

I drove one once in LA. WORST car I've ever driven. Floated everywhere; semi trucks blew me around in (and out of) my lane. I thought I was going to die if I kept driving at 65 or 70. Took it down to 58 - 60 and everything was (sorta) normal.

I wouldn't drive it, Erik. You might get blown away...

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Ya could shoot back Erik??????:D

[Pluskat]

Pretty quick trigger finger there Erik!

Damn You Dation for putting that clip on! Now I've got that song firmly stuck in my head and I'm humming it as I walk around the house.
(making fun of the developmentally disadvantaged is not one of the things I like to do 'cuz when people do it to me it's not something that I like them to do at me but it's 'cuz I have a soft spot in my heart for them....truly)

[Pluskat]

and NOW Dation, my wife is not thrilled as I have written down the lyrics for the song and am quickly memorizing them.

Good news for the Prineville trip....I could possibly get drunk enough to sing this little gem at the campfire :uhoh:

[Pluskat]

I won't need any musical accompani....accump...accompany.....any music, and I'll get Sportsnut to do that high wailing sound in between the lyrics.
(I happen to know for a fact he's capable of making a noise like that under different.....circumstances) :wink:

Kind of a bland response. That new job reprogram your sense of humor? Don't GO acting all straight and everything. You KNOW you can't pull it off.

Glad to hear you were the one that got that job out of all those applicants, regardless of whether you played the "G" card or not.

5 weeks....2 weeks....who gives a sh_t...."Hello, Boss? Yeah hi, hey listen, I know this'll put you in a bind but I'm really feeling like crap and I hate to do this but....."

I'm glad you schooled me about playing the "G" card. It made getting hired a breeze.:D :D

[brunop]

I love you guys. Really.

Now quit fagging-out for one minute and say this over and over again in the mirror:

"I will be at the summer shoot. I will BE at the summer shoot. I WILL BE AT THE SUMMER SHOOT!!
I WILL BE AT THE SUMMER SHOOT!!!!

And then go tell your wives and bosses what's up.

Solved.

Peace.

[brunop]

In all seriousness, you only need 1 day of vacation to make the Friday, or 0 days vacation to make the shoot.

I can hear your boss now:

"Whoa! Sorry about that, Sportsnut; I've never even heard of Herpes Simplex 10 - does your buddy Pluskat know? Better take the afternoon off (Thursday), and get to the doctor first thing in the morning. See you Monday - try to take it easy between now and then..."




Just followin' orders.

Peace.

[vanillagorilla]

Hmm, what are we gonna do wit dat gordilla?? Somebody will have to shave his butt if he is gonna come to the shoot and cook for us.

thanks for that link ram kinda interesting to see what other people had to say about night shootn.and does any1 know where i can get cheap clips for a ruger P95. i just won it on gun broker its a nickel plated les baer custom .i couldnt believe i won it for $1195 about two weeks ago. its pretty awsm.i used to keep a shotgun next to my bed because just the sound of a shotgun getn pumpd will usually scare a bad guy away, but now i got this P95 ill probly keep it next to my bed, i think just seeing it all shiny will make any1 think twice about robbing me

[vanillagorilla]

like i said sportsnut...... a baby bull calf i put pluskats head in the corner and when i was done the bumps on his head looked liked a pair of horns pokin out :devil:

DB, you can TRY to talk the homo talk, but you're just a poser. You have no style, no finesse', no romance to your baseless lies. You're crude and unpolished. Go back to your beer-swilling redneck construction workers.

Sportsnut, on the other hand....now there's a romantic who knows how to treat a lady. :love:

[vanillagorilla]

dude your just mad cuz i slapped that dress on you and rented you out by the half hour

[vanillagorilla]

i just happen to know that some girls need to be treated nice and some damaged chicks like you want and need to be treated like crap to make em feel special.

[Pluskat]

You better watch it or the Mods'll send this entire thread to Dumping Brass.

You still don't understand where the "line" is with this kind of talk. Sportsnut and I have been at it for a while now. You have to get close without "crossing over". I'd suggest you just read for a while until you "get it".

[vanillagorilla]

your such a silly boy jimmy gauge

What the heck is a vanilla-guerilla anyway? Is that like the arch-nemesis of a mall-ninja?

mall ninja haha thats funny coming from you pluskat or is it jimmy gauge or samurai sks or adam ak or mr i dont have and L1A1 cuz im unsure if im a man or not.or mr is this the day that i finally come out and wear a dress to work cuz i want the world to know but wait im not sure if their ready oh wait im not sure im ready but im sick of having to hide it and i dont wanna live this secret life anymore?

[ALL FAL]

I'm gonna see if I can change my nick here, hey, the gordilla did.:rolleyes:

Thought you guys had something interesting to talk about?? Thats why I come here.

[brunop]

All FAL -

I thought this is what interesting looked like...

Whatcha got over on that side of the hill?

Peace.

[ALL FAL]

Geezz, brunop, how many subjects do you want to talk about?
One that comes to mind is .22 rimfire long range shooting, thats over 100yds.
The price of ammo, sure makes those dandy AR .22 kits fun and one heck of a backup should you run out of .223.

I'm checking into the plr.22 parts to see if I can do some swapping to rimfire.

OR, who in our group has bought the most guns in the last 6 months?? You did Brunop.:D

[vanillagorilla]

i bought a bb gun and my les baer ruger P95 9mm in the last 6 months

[ALL FAL]

Thought you might have bought more guns than most VannillaG, I got 3 in the last month, 45, 38, Old mossberg .22.

The .38 S+W will be put up for sale reasonable to ore. guys here shortly, have to take pics, stay tuned.:biggrin:

It seems that I can post pics everywhere but here, anyway this is an snubby S+W model 60-7 Stainless, comes with padded case, Pachmier grips. A1 condition. I would like $290.00 for it, email for pics. Will put in the marketplace monday. Thanks, Dave.

Forgot, trade offers considered.

[Tuscan Raider]

Does buying airsoft count, ALL FAL?:wink:

[vanillagorilla]

did i mention my nickel plated les baer custom ruger P95 gold cup series.oooooooohhhhhhhhhh its a shooter its off the chizzlll for shizzzlllll my nizzzlllll i would start to open carry just to show it off but the chickies would be tryn to get up on my piece if you know what i mean and im married so ill hafta keep it hidden for now

[ALL FAL]

Dang Gordilla, you should buy the LADY SMITH for your WIFE that I just posted, cause I know ya love her!!

Tuscan, we should draw the line at popguns.

[Tuscan Raider]

Awww c'mon ALL FAL, isn't 6mm bigger than a popgun?:beer:
Maybe have a airsoft course? I know you guys got 'em.

[brunop]

While I would like to claim the title for most guns in the last 6 months, I'm quite sure that that award goes to someone other than me.

For the record, I have purchased 0 handguns in the last 6 months, and I have sold more than one.

I have purchased a couple (two) surplus rifles (Yugo M24, Garand) in the last six months.


All FAL - sounds like you're in the running for the award. I fear I'm going to be winning the award for most guns sold in the next six months. I'm getting out of them so I can keep the horde at my house fed. For the record.

[ALL FAL]

Dang, sorry to hear you are getting out of guns Brunop, guess you won't be comming over the hill anymore, except to sell your guns?
Are you not going to come to anymore shoots?

I'll buy some of your ammo, unless ya sold it already.

Well, I'll miss you and yours comming to the shoots.

You don't really believe that for a second do ya Dave ?

[ALL FAL]

No bro,I don't.

[vanillagorilla]

i think hes telling you the truth he came down and asked me if he could borrow some cash. i wanted to help him but i already had to sell my guns and ammo to pay my own damn bills i got him by a surprise emergency bill. but like a true friend i did give some of our extra food supplies to help feed his hoard.those damn moremans:) dont believe in condoms i guess. oh well i think they finally figured out what causes kids

[brunop]

I finally did and got snipped. Watched the whole thing. Crazy.

But it was too late, so I've been selling my stuff to keep 'em in clothes, piano lessons, and food. Maybe in my old age it will all come back to me.

Thanks for the food, VanillaG! I love MRE peanut butter.

All FAL - I'll still come to the shoots. Maybe I can borrow a rifle from my dad...

[vanillagorilla]

dont mention it dude i know what it means to be down and out im literally down to my daisy and my nickel plated les baer custom ruger P95 gold cup series 9.god i love that thing i think i may have to sell that one this month.im not sure if they can legaly reposes an implant

[sportsnut]

I had to put on the knee high ruber boots as to not get any of the BS on my feet.:rofl: :rofl:

[vanillagorilla]

dude not all of us know someone at a briquette company.some of us cant rely on nepotism to get a good payn job in this current economic climate.so dont be surprised if a few of us have had to part with our most prised possessions just to pay the bills. im thinking they cant legaly order the repossession of my even if 3/4 of it was bought with a loan from wells fargo that i havent had money to pay on in the last 6 months. besides it never really worked once i got it home anyways so i dont see how they can make me pay for shoddy work.

I hear ya. Just the other day i had to reposess a SKS from a buyer who couldn't make his payments. I felt sorry for him as he didn't even have a place to store his remaing weapons, so he had them laying around where his reposessed furniture used to be.

He tried to get me to take his prized Ruger P-95 that someone told him was a "Gold Cup" series, but i didn't have the heart to tell him that Colt has the Gold Cup Series. I'm sure he paid a fortune for that pistol. The original owner who sold it to him should be ashamed for taking advantage of this person.

[vanillagorilla]

haha ur killn me smalls

[Vagabond]

It should hurt to be dumb... I mean, all the time

[vanillagorilla]

dude that ruger is a piece of art and history and it was worth every penny and it is a less baer gold cup series its one of a kind and i think your just a tad jealous of my great buy. ruger has always been one of the best gun companies out there and les baer is one of the most sought after gunsmiths in the US.and the 9mm is a sufficient combat round with effective knockdown and stopping power

[vanillagorilla]

dude vaga what the hell does that mean sportsnut might ride a short bus but hes still a good mofo

[Vagabond]

My statement was a generalization... I'd never pick on retarded kids, as I'm quite a bit more compassionate than that, and I'm even friends with pluskat.

And that ain't no short bus hoss, you just ain't never been in no pimped out ride that sweet..

[brunop]

I think I'm leaving the 'files because I'm out of FALs. That, and I think there is a Saiga forum somewhere. Because Russian-made, layin' down some mag-fed semi-auto double-ought buck, fire, and brimstone HELL is the go-to weapon from 0 yards to, oh, about 300 yards. Or 500. Or so.

And I just bought one, I think.

If I sold all my guns, and bought only one, I'm about -34 or so on the Cosmic Rotation of Firepower. Which means that I'm WAY behind All FAL and some other people here.

It was a great ride, but it's over. See you guys when the Zombies come.

Peace (out).



Edited to add:

"smalls - you're killin' me" is HILARIOUS!!!

Pluskat is not quite as dumb/crazy as you think. Stay tuned...

[vanillagorilla]

where is pluskat kinda quiet mabey hes tryn to weather the storm before he gets back on here. none of you have been able to ansr me on the implant repo question,but im willing to bet pluskat is gonna know the answer and be able to cite prior cases and statutes that have to do with this area of law.i have heard of the husband thats trying to get is kidney back from his ex wife ill have to wait and see how that plays out.

[brunop]

I'm waiting to hear what you find out on that one, VanillaG. Kinda has that cool gangster ring to it, doesn't it? - like the O.G., only white (as in, you know, Vanilla...).

Anywho, I'm boycotting that other wannabe thread about getting "back on track". No offense, Erik, but I - and a lot of other people here - have a LOT invested in this thread (like 247 posts, man :biggrin: !). Anyway, over on

POST FRICKIN' NUMBER THREE

there is a list of people who are coming, who are 'probables', and who are panty-waists (if you work for the Guard, and have drill, you do not fit the above characterization, but if you don't, and have to go gator-fishing for 1.5 days, you do...).

I'm all in - just bought another bunch of steel targets so that we have 8 drop-silhouettes and a couple of 'stand' silhouettes (cowboy, etc.).

I'm decidedly 'out' on the land-nav portion of the shoot. We can't get all the stuff done we want to do anyway. Land-nav is slow, one shooter at a time, and while sounding cool, will be a major drag if (when) it is hot. We couldn't get three shooters last summer, and that was prone and/or sitting in the shade drinking ice-cold sodas. Of course it was 103* ...

As it stands, we are going to have a (semi) standard military rifle shoot. There will be men's and women's fields, so the sun-dress-wearing homos here can keep their panties from wadding up, and there will be four 'classes' inside of each field: MBR (Man's Battle Rifle) Iron and Optics, and MG (Mouse Gun) Iron and Optics.

x54, x51, 8mm, and 7.5 Swiss make it into the MBR category. x45 (nato) and x39 (ruskie) fall into the MG category. This allows a guy to actually shoot two rifles if he feels like it. I'll add now that if a person shows up with an FAL in 5.56x45, he is gonna get to slide up into MBR territory if he so chooses. Because I feel like it. But I don't know anyone who has one.

Below is a re-post of POST NUMBER FRICKIN' ONE ( :biggrin: ), which has the activities. Minus the Land Nav. And maybe the shoot-house. Happily, you've suggested an excellent new event to take its place...

There will be three shoots besides the Saiga (or any shotgun) Blast-Off (which you will win, but not without a valiant effort on my part). They are:

Knock-down 8 - how fast to knock down all 8 silhouettes

Steel Plate Challenge - range and hit the 12" plates - twice

King Shot - one standing off-hand shot on the target. Closest to the center is the KING

I'd love to see 10 or 15 new guys (new to us, not to shooting) show up and have some fun.

Peace.

Panties?....who said anything about wearing panties? The sun-dress, my info-lacking fellow, is all about AIR FLOW!
