What kinds of loads, what range, targets, ect..... I just want to come prepared to lock and rock! If I'm invited, don't want to be a nuisance. I can make myself available with a few weeks notice. Thank you, JJS

ps. Did anyone else have a damn good Christmas visit from Santa? He got me my favorite........ :lovegunporn:
There are rifle and pistol ranges. Last year we had Gunderwood bring his Barret M99 so I can't image any rifle load touching that kind of power! SgtBill has a beautiful place, check out pics of last year's Meet and Greet. Hope you can make it!

PS: I had a great Christmas also!

Ok, it look's like the 13/14 of May would be good. It will be a week after Mother's day and the heat of the summer won't be upon us yet.We will again post everything that is needed to get here, gear,etc. as the time get's closer.

OK, I have to stop now. I flipped my quad on the way out of the wood's in the snow last night and dislocated my right shoulder. It look's funny to see the bone sticking up.Will see the Orthpedic Dr.tomorrow up in Lynchburg.

Yes Rick, put on for the 13/14 of May and everyone will have 4 or so mos. to plan for it.And as far as the pain in the shoulder, HELL yes it hurt's. My quad is still out in the woods on it's side and will be untill spring now. After I got myself together enough to get home I made it about 10 step's and went down again on the same shoulder. The wife was working at the Hospital Emergency Room and was a little upset that I drove 25 miles with my shoulder dislocated. I suppose it is a good thing that I am on Morphine for my other problems or I would be in some real bad pain.

I just checked out the pics from 2010 shoot/meet/greet. It looks like I missed a great time. I plan on being there in May, and hopefully my future son in law can come with me. He leaves for the Army on May 23rd. Hope to see you all there. :lovegunporn:

Yep, last year it was too hot to shoot much less do anything else...course we should figure in global warming though. Could be around 110 F in March at the rate we are going...oh wait, never mind. I just checked and global warming is dumping snow on the lawn... :hysterical:

Why can't I have the brass balls, a crazy sense of humor, and a love of fine imported artisinal foods? :confused:

As for the shoulder Sarge, don't be too proud to wear the sling, it really helps. Good luck with your recovery.

Have grill will travel :thumbsup: Chicken again this year ? It's a little early for the young groundhogs to be out but I might be able to convince a few big ones to come for dinner, just have to parboil those. Sure beats that possum doesn't it T ? :hysterical:
Bill give me a holler tomorrow and I'll come get the quad out of the woods for you. Don't worry about my back, all I need is a piece of rope and your tractor to flip it back over. Forget the tractor, I'll use my truck. :thumbsup:
