So, came up at lunch today.......
I've got May 31st off because it's a Saturday and I won't get paid OT to work it (don't worry about that - suffice to say I'm off work).
And since this is normally a work weekend, I don't have my kids.
So, I'm thinking of hosting a day of shooting at my land near Lexington...aka The compound, Freeman's Landing, El Campo de Mic, El Recito de Mic. I still haven't come up with an appropriate name - maybe I'll start another thread about that.
So, we'll probably start at about 10am. The place isabout a 45 min to 1 hr drive from North Austin. Neither directions or an address will be posted on here - just pipe in that you're in and as we get closer, I'll PM the address/directions to those who are in.
Just some note about the place.. It is a piece of land with a 100 yard range that has a 12 foot berm. I have a small unfinished 10x16 building on it (aka...the cabin). There is no running water. The only toilet is a portable camping toilet There is no electricity. We will have to bring all those things that make the place liveable for the 2 to 5 hours or that we're out there to shoot. I do have a small propane 2 burner grill that we can cook on though.
One more note on safety. This is only on 10 acres and I have neighbors on all sides. So, if you're not sure that you can safely place every round you shoot into a 12 foot berm, stay home! If you aren't sure that you can go out there and not endanger anybody, don't bother joining in the fun. As long as you can be safe, you're welcome to come.
I haven't told the ole' lady yet, but I'll probably invite you all over for a pot-luck dinner party that night.
Sound good to anybody?????
PS - Even if you are a summer sellout and leave Texas to go up North, you are invited to come back down for the day....

Here is the "I'm in for sure" tracker (If you've given me an I'm in for sure and you're not on here, let me know. If you've given me an "I'll try to make it", then let me know when you're in for sure:
Mic
Bacon/Eva
TexMex - Popup canopy, Popup 22 target
Josh
LJ/Mrs. LJ
TheDan - weiners, possibly steel targets
