As always, I encourage everyone to join us for another awesome shoot. Its greatly appreciated by me, personally, as well as everyone else. I want to extend a special thanks to those who travel a considerable distance to make these range days.

As we have all stated before, its a very safe and organized environment, but not too stringent as to reduce the fun. There are always plenty of amazing handguns to shoot throughout the course of the day. There are no prerequisites on what to bring. We shoot revolvers and pistols in all styles, calibers, and price ranges. :cool:

The range opens at 9AM and I’m there at that time. I encourage everyone who wants to attend to get there between 9 and 11AM to have plenty of time to shoot. We generally shoot until mid afternoon. The charge is just $20 for the entire day, with an extra $20 for range badges for first time visitors.

Here is the location:

We have no specific date set yet, but the fall shoot is generally a Saturday in October. We will figure out a date that works for as many people as possible. My goal is to have that date set sometime in August. Once its set, I’ll update this opening post.

I know its still a long way off, but I encourage all past attendees to join me and as many first time members to make the trip as possible. It will be nice to get in a great shoot before the cold weather sets in. I hope to see as many folks as possible to enjoy great weather, friendly comradery, and some incredible firearms! :thumbsup:

Please come out and join us for an truly fantastic time! :banana:

Don't forget your tactical wheel barrows.
I just about busted a gut lugging three handguns and 200 rounds into my local range yesterday.

I'll have mine...not...joking! Mine is pretty much always in my car anyway. As someone who shoots matches every weekend, I'm too old to be carrying all that stuff.

I've been debating bike or car all night. I'm going to make a decision in the morning pending weather. But I don't want to look like a wuss if others are bringing their bikes. It's raining here at my house now and seems like it's going to be a crisp 50-60 brisk day tomorrow.

Sadly I am out for tomorrow guys, my co-pilot had to bail on me at the last minute, something about having a baby or something. :upeyes: Just too far to drive by myself, going to miss you guys.

You will be missed. Looks like it's going to be a wet one today. :drowning:

Although the weather did not play nice, it was a good day of shooting and fellowship.


Glad you had a good time Gino and I'm very sad I missed it. You guys are all such awesome company and everyone is so generous it really is a great day. In the spring if I don't have anyone to go with me I am going to come down on Friday and spend the night. How many shooters did you end up with.

Well, the smoke has cleared on yet another GT range day. Our awesome luck with the weather finally ran out today. While it wasn't a washout, we had cool temperatures, high winds, and on and off rain showers.

Turnout was seven, so a bit smaller than some past range days. Given the poor weather, that was to be expected. I think we all had a great time shooting and talking with each other. It was a nice time, despite Mother Nature not cooperating.

Hopefully, we will have great weather in May. :cool:

Here were the guns I brought to this one. I only brought six guns this time, due to the weather, but it was six good ones. :supergrin:

Sig X-Five, Sig P220, Les Baer Concept V, CZ Cadet, Arsenal Strike One, and Sig P226 Sport





All six guns shot great and without any malfunctions of any kind. The Sig X-Five and P226 Sport are incredibly accurate pistols and a lot of fun.

As usual, I had a great time shooting everyone else's offerings. I got a chance to shoot two pistols I had never shot before in Doug's Sig X-Five Allround and Ed's CZ Tactical Sport Orange. Both are amazing shooters. Thanks to Bucky and Gino for their usual assortment of modified pistols. Both of you have a knack for turning polymer service guns into some awesome shooters. Thanks to Jon for has great assortment of pistols and for helping me arrange the shoot. We also had a newcomer, Shawn, who seemed to really enjoy the shoot.

I'm looking forward to better weather this spring. :cool:

You're telling me, Brian... I would have a blast! (pun intended).

Perhaps one of the next shoots, I can talk the wife into a long road trip. I'd love to meet you guys in person... and perhaps shoot a few of your fine firearms :D

One of these days.

As usual I had a great time shootin with a bunch of fellow firearms enthusiasts! The weather was a little uncooperative but I'm still glad I made the trip! Ive almost got the feeling back in my fingers from the cold wet ride on the motorcycle! The assortment of firearms was as usual amazing! The problem with these events is you go home tryin to refigure your budget so you can buy a bunch more guns! :supergrin:

The One question I have is what's the date for the next one? :supergrin:
