so, Elliot was in town yesterday and I met him at Wallyworld to chat...the subject of shooting guns came up(always does:flipoff2:) and I asked if he thought the peoples of OSaRville were ready for another OSR SW get together?

He said he was going to create a post asking, but I sure don't see one...so here I am...


anyone?

WHEN?

I have a new area to dump brass and plan to implement a few things I learned the first time around.

1) limit number of people shooting at any given time.
2) FA shoots at a seperate place from all others
3) make sure Freerider has more brisket and less beer



anyone else? IDEAS? COMMENTS?

lets do it again and make it better/safer...and bring moar wimmins this time.

I had actually been wondering this myself.. weather's starting to get perfect for camping/shooting and I've started rolling my own ammo, so I'm going to need somewhere to shoot it :flipoff2:


I won't be around for the first week of April, or the first weekend in May, but otherwise I'm not picky about dates or the location.

I'm in. I'll be back from deployment late June. Hopefully Chris will have my AR10 done by then (only thing holding him back is Armalite getting him the upper). I should also have my new FiveseveN and PS90. I'll have a silencer for both of them but probably won't have time to SBR the PS90 by then. :grinpimp:

End of June would work better with school, that should fall between summer/fall semesters. Also I will have time to stock up on some ammo and maybe procure a couple more toys to bring :evil:

Lets play a game called "how much .380 can nooblet save up before June?" :flipoff2:

As far as food goes: Your cooking last time was bad ass Freerider, I would be more than happy with the same thing! I think I have a decent amount of Axis that I could save until then, I will check. We could make some Axis deer breakfast tacos or something :smokin:

Some do, some don't. I don't know what he will have available at the time though.

It would probably make more sense to rent a generator if there are going to be more than a couple of rvs. I don't remember exactly what we have been paying for rent on generators, but I do remember it wasn't bad.

I could use a little help getting some stuff ready for May...


and we can shoot some stuff to see if we want to modify the range setups...:flipoff2:


PM me if you can or want to help.

the long rang shooting tower gets moved, some posts need to be put in place for safety fence, some targets need to get set in place for handgun and FA shooting areas.




BTW, I have not seen too many posts with ideas or recommended changes or additions...:confused:


still want an area to shoot traps?

4runner
04-08-2010, 07:20 PM
I have a couple volunteers, we shal see if any show up Sat AM.

I plan to move the tower into a new position at teh new shooting area and possiblt reconfigure it for a spotter chair up above the shooter(we shall see)...I will use the backhoe to lever an area for the tower.
I need to trim some tree banches with the chainsaw and i have made a new batch of "bell" targets since we will be at a wheatfield and will NOT be able to go into it to "check paper targets"...I am considering some water ballon targets at teh 325 gong area and possible at a much longer range--if i can work it out.
I will work on making room for a seperate rifle only area that will allow for only 3-5 shooters at at any given time.

I will also work on an area for pistol shooters that will allow 3-5 shooters at a time.

the shotgunners and FA peeps will have to share an area and only ONE person may shoot at a time.
The pigeon thrower will be available for shotguns and since it is over a LARGE open pit, there will be some large targets for the FA gang.

I will take some pix while there and post them up for review.

anyone else wanna help clean up? I will head that way around 8AM and plan to be out there til about 4pm...


and YES, i will have several guns with me to "test" the range areas I am setting up. so, if you come help, bring something to shoot after we do some work.

one other thing...


this shoot will have no paper targets...I have been building some new bells to ding and so far in testing, they are working out...haven't shot them with a rifle yet, but that is soon.


nice tone and easy to hear if you hit it, that way there is no clean up and we don't have to walk out in the wheat to check the target.



there MAY be some paper alternatives for the handguns and the looooong distance target may be ballons with some water for ballast to prevent movement, you will know instantly if you hit it. Besides, how many of you can SEE a 1'X1' paper target at close to 1000yds? So, a balloon inflated to approximately 2' diameter should be a good challenge...
\
what colors? red? yellow? black?


also..I will have some ribbons up to show any wind patterns for the rifle shooters.

looks like there will be bells at 100, 200, 250, and the gong at 325.

pistol will get bells at 25 and 50.

FA...well, you get a water hole and the fuel tank...what more could you possibly need?


I MAY set aside a time/target for RIMFIRE RIFLES only, so any on you that bring females or kids who wanna skip the recoil, it could be a good thing.


INPUT????

04-13-2010, 02:04 PM
Those all sound like good ideas. I don't know that I can make that date, but I will try. I will just barely be finishing finals around that time. I will have to talk to Afroman and see what he thinks, I think he has finals around then also.

I like the rimfire idea, in fact I think we should have a .22LR contest! That could be fun and entertaining! That way everyone can break out the 10/22's and what not and talk shit in true pirate fashion :flipoff2:

Bring ammo. It's hard to shoot quarters through a rifle. Bring ammo for any gun you think you might want to shoot that you don't already own. For instance, I brought a box of .50 BMG because I knew one would be there.

Want to shoot a full-auto AK? Bring as much 7.62x39 as you can. Want to shoot a full auto M-11-thing?? Bring a crate of .380... etc. If you don't have any ARs, bring some .223 and someone will probably let you run around with one for a while.

Last time was too windy for tents, but hopefully this time will be better. Tents, camper, or hotel are all valid options.

Last time everyone was pretty cool about passing guns around to let others shoot. I don't see this time being much different. People were pretty cool with the ammo too. The main point is to get together and have fun, not be anal about who's shooting what and with whose ammo

Anyone that wants to see about renting an RV, get in touch with HoeHand and see if he can get a deal going for the weekend of May 14-16...
We will be down in a valley9sorta on the side of a hill) this time rather than up on top of the deck, so hopefully winds will not be an issue.

Room for tents...
Room for travel trailers...
Room for RVs....


no water or power...but who needs it? I have access to water for rinsing out the septics afterwards if needed.

if you THINK there is something that you would LIKE to shoot...bring ammo for that gun...

you will prolly want to buy a box of .50BMG, 100-250 rds of 7.62X39, 100-250 rds of 380acp(if you can find it), and 100 rds of 9mm...that will cover the big stuff and some FA stuff.

update on the newest target...


spinner this time, there was sneak peak, here it is finished but unpainted.

breaks down for easy transport...

the round disc "vanes" are canted in two opposite directions...when a person shoots one, the wheel 'should" spin in the direction the vane is angles...the opposing shooter must shoot a vane angled the opposite direction in order to make the wheel spin in their direction.

The dots and spokes will be painted TWO distinct colors so that the shooters know which to aim at. Once it gets spinning, I doubt that you could hit the discs, thus losing.

I stole the basic idea from another thread here, but changed the targets from chalk to steel for spinning action.

next one will have only four spokes/target discs and will have a spring-loaded ball bearing to stop the wheel in a certain spot. Shooters will have to hit the target to make it change to their color and have limited ammo.

Man that sucks. Sorry to hear about that. Be thankful though that your wife and kid weren't riding with you. Also that you are ok. You've got a newborn and wife that need you. Was it the Tundra that got schwacked? Hope your buddy is doing better.
If you guys reschedule to June 26/27 I should be able to make it. :D Good luck with it either way.

My vote is bump it up for what its worth. Right now its VERY iffy that I will be able to make it. I will just barely be finishing finals that week. I talked to Afroman and he is kind of in the same boat, plus he has a wedding that is around that time.

If you guys keep that weekend I will try real hard to make it though! I just checked my Axis sausage stash the other day and I have more than I thought :smokin:

Okay, looks like we MAY have a limited number of people who are able to make this one.
we will proceed with teh meet but it will be a ONE DAY event for the most part.

if you NEED to drive in late friday night, you may do so, just PM me so I can be there to let you in.

we will aim for meeting early(like 9AM) Sat and doing some shooting til around NOON, then we will break and grill some burgers and dogs...then back to shooting til about 4 or so...then head home.


LONGGGGGG range forecast says we whould see light(as in 5-10mph breeze) winds...prolly from the SW and temps in the highs 40's-low 50's overnight and in the mid to upper 80's during the day.
there WILL be several tarp covers for sun shade at each shooting area.


please BRING:
sunscreen, water, appropriate footwear(BOOTS), water, ammo, water, guns, any shooting accessories you feel the need for. Folding chairs are always nice to have, too.

I will try to set up some sort of restroom facility area...unless I can arrange a port-a-potty, it will prolly be something roughly outdoorsey.:homer:


anyone else?

like 10AM or so? bring some hotdogs and grill them there?




LMK what you want to do..I brought my MAC and AK home and actually took them apart...replaced the rubber buffer in the rear of the MAC...put the original PG onto the AK and am currently trying to get the front sight base off, so I can buff it out to get it to go ALL THE WAY ON, that way, the muzzle brake will point teh correct direction...LOL...didn't do much cleaning tho.

Okay, I have steel bells ready for 100-150-200 and a gong at 325 for the centerfire rifles.

is anyone bringing anything that would make me want to WALK 1/2 MILE to set up a target at close to 1000yds?
tell me now so i can have time to prepare for carrying that bitch all the way back there.


I will have some steel plates and steel bells for PISTOL at 35-50-75yds...


there will be some RIMFIRE ONLY targets at 25 and 50yds...


FA...well, if you can't hit a mudhole, you are worthless...the FUEL TANK is there, but i will prolly reposition as some cattle have been moved recently and I need MORE backstop.

I have the AK ready, the STEn is already out there, and i will clean out the can for the MAC tomorrow.

so, what are YOU guys bringing?

I have my 17M2 ready to go as well.

looks like we will have about 15-20 peeps...so, grilling some dogs would be easy and cheap. If everyone gave Freerider like $1-2, that would cover TWO dogs and some chips...even cover catsup, mayo, mustard, relish, and chips...




BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS...lots of water.

Middle of nowhere.
No "real" restrooms / facilities
no running water.
Closest hotel is in Wichita Falls / Vernon.
We are going to be out somewhere by in the Wichita Falls area on the Okiehomo side of the line.
(Please send driving directions ASAP)
Bring your own food.
Bring your own drinks (LOTS of water)

Schedule of events has been whittled down to Saturday only, correct? Start at 10am and done that afternoon? No overnight beerfest, correct?

Do we have a definitive list of cool weapons being brought? I mean.. I wanna shoot fun stuff, but don't want to buy random ammo hoping it fits something when I get there, and then be out of luck.

I'm coming.. wife is considering coming with 6 and 8 year old girls with their Pink .22 rifle. That totally depends on the facilities. is this a family event, or should they just stay at home??

I'm bringing these rifles. Anyone is welcome to run as much of their own provided ammo as they want. I'm generally a nice guy and will probably let you run some of my ammo as well if you don't have any.

GSG-5. So bring as much .22 as anyone wants to shoot through it or the 20 others that will probably be there.

SW-5 (MP-5 clone) so bring as much 9mm as anyone wants to run through it.

G3 so bring as much 7.62 nato. Commercial .308 not allowed.

FAL so bring as much 7.62 or .308 as anyone wants to run through it.

AR15s (m16a2 and m4 variants) so as much .223/5.56 as anyone wants to run through either of them

VZ-58 so as much 7.62x39 as anyone wants to run through it.

Bulgarian AK-74s, so as much 5.45x39 as anyone wants to run through it.




As far as the "fun" weapons go, bring .380, 7.62x39, and 9mm

Azzy2000
05-12-2010, 03:16 PM
Bring some surplus .30-'06 if you want to shoot the BARand... I dont mind everyone poppin off a few rounds of my stuff but if you want to shoot a mag or two through it, bring some surplus ammo.

Bring some 7.62x39... there will be several AK's there.

5.56/.223 I'll have my SBR and another AR with me..

.45 ACP silenced USP .45 tactical and USP 45

.303 Brit for the enfield.. 8mm for the mauser.. .308 for the
FAL

I'll be bringing some extra chairs and water for whoever wants them..

If it wasn't a 12hr round-trip, and if I wasn't slammed at work right now, I'd take you up on it. Actually, if my buddy's wedding hadn't have been this past weekend, I would have already been down there and back :D

Yesterday:
Me: So are you still good with me going this weekend?
Her: LOL. Sure as long as you can afford it. Bullets are expensive!
Me: Thx.


Today:

Conference call regarding the Testing we are going to be doing NEXT weekend regarding our TDM -> VoIP phone system transition.

Sr. Vice President of Customer Service: Well, everyone.. It looks like we have all of our ducks in a row for next weekend and would effectively be 100% viable for proceeding with this testing today! Great job, team! Since we are 100% ready for a go-forward, I would like to escalate the DR Test up to this weekend. That will put us a week ahead on our schedule, and we can present the contractual deliverables to [Client] ahead of schedule for once. Does anyone see any problems with that?

:crickets chirping in surprised silence: for about 1/2 millisecond.

SVPCS: Great, sounds like everyone is on board. See you on the conference bridge at 8am Eastern Time on Saturday. Have a great day everyone! <click>



Could they have done this the last 10 weekends when I had NOTHING going on? NO!

How about the next 5 weekends? NO!

after close to 5" of rain(so far) it will take at least two weeks of warm, dry, breezy weather to dry things out. Good part is, the wheat will be cut by then and we can run across the field with the fourwheeler to set up additional targets.

so...now we are shooting for a target date of July 10th?


Chister, go ahead an ERASE all date that are now in the past...make it easy for me to see where we are.

if Spooky comes, there will be at least ONE 50bmg...Ben may bring another.
If we go for a weekend campout...perhaps Hoehand can see if his boss can get a deal for a couple of campers. surely we can put 6-10 in one trailer and have restroom facility without renting a portapotty.

I am doing about all I can handle mowing a place in the pasture, making and setting up targets, and making sure we are all safe. So, anything more will have to come from you guys who want to come shoot. If you are driving MORE than 200 miles ONEWAY...try to get a group together to save gas money...


I KNOW we can make this get together BETTER than the first one and that one made history.


Animator...is the HD cam available again?

Freerider...feel like making a food list?

we can use a grill(or two) or make a firepit in the ground...


the wheat will be cut in the next two weeks, so we can use fourwheelers to run to the LOOOONG distance target...I still do NOT have an accurate measurement, but I am guessing it is at least 1Kyds...so, with no wheat, I can set up a ROW of targets to get you onto the long shot...like 350-500-750-1000....


talk to me...I would love to see some of the guys from out WEST show up...

post up 4-5 items you know you can cook well...we can vote

go ahead and make a meal plan for five meals...

Friday night campfire meal-something easy and light
Sat AM breakfast-those burrito things were great
Sat afternoon BIG meal-here is where you can shine
Sat night campfire meal-repeat of Friday night
Sun AM breakfast-repeat of Sat AM


so, as many peep as want to come for the weekend and need time to drive all day Friday and can have a meal Fri night...Sat, and Sun before they leave.

doable??? cost???

where is Hoehand with trailer info?


HOW many of you would actually DO this? weekend campout with lots of shooting? Even the local guys are welcome to stay if they want...tents are good if trailers are not available...we WILL have some type of restroom facility for all guests...so, the ladies are welcome to come.
due to POSSIBLE July Oklahoma temps...small children(like under 12-14??) will prolly want to stay with grandma this weekend.

I don't care if you want to bring and drink alcohol...but, NO SHOOTING while or immediately after drinking it.safety first.
COMMENTS???? SUGGESTIONS????

I can cook some really nice jalapeno beer bread with Shiner Bock. I can bring a couple loafs. I've also got some homemade mead if anyone wants to try it. Not sure on the 50BMG at this time. I'll ask my buddy if he'll let me borrow it again and/or he wants to come.

I would expect ALL who come and eat to make sure you are compensated for the food and your time spent cooking. I know prepping a menu and FIVE meals is NOT easy to do.




so, if we are SET on JULY 10th, 2010....


lets get teh word out and see if we can make this rock...I know that there may not be close to 50 as the first go round had, BUT...I would like to see 30-35 show up for the event.
