DFW November / December Meet

[Texas High Caliber]

Love the flames shooting out of the muzzle brake on this one. Definitely not a flash hider (CA-Evil feature) there! Can't recall this guy's name, it was really noisy there. I've got to get some of those electronic ears. (I had 29dB earplugs under 31dB cans, couldn't hear ----!)

This one is me, thanks again for letting me put some rounds downrange. I really think you have a good thing going for the guys in CA stuck with all those crazy gun laws. Boy am I thankful I live in Texas!

It was good to meet everyone else that I spoke/shot with. Big thanks to you all, I had a great time and will definitely be back for the next one.

Cool pictures. Thanks for letting me and my son try your contraption out. You dont have to worry about covering our faces, its all cool.

Thanks for the response. I'll keep the OPSEC bars there, too much trouble to change 'em back. Lotsa crazies out there on the net, better safe than sorry.

Thanks for letting me shoot your GSG-5. Have seen them online but never shot one. Also enjoyed the red dot / holographic scope. Likewise, seen 'em on the net and never tried one. I've got to get one of those, it just reminded me of the terminator. Amazing futuristic technology...

Managed to get the CA-legal AR sighted in finally. It's probably not perfect but at least now the shots are hitting the paper kind of in the middle of the target and not just going under the target...

I had a great time right up till the rifle range experience, plenty of friendly folks there I dodn't meet everyone but those whom i did meet were very nioce and friendly, I didn't get out to much to meet everyone ,my fault I keep to myself for the most part till i get to know someone.
but it was a good time I burned up a bunch of ammo which is always good now to go clean the guns and put them away.

Junkyguns,

I think I was right next to you on the rifle range. I was sighting in a bolt action 30-06 rifle. Were you trying to get an AR-15 on paper? The range officer was very helpful for me. We did the 50 yd on paper thing and then I was good to go on the 100 yd target. Give them a second chance. They have been quite helpful for me personally and for the group in general.

Had another great time. Got to meet a lot of the Dallas regulars I missed last time from Jason, Monica, Rob, some new guys, and the regulars. Was definitely worth the time. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

If you haven't made it to one of the meets, you're missing out on a great time and meeting some of Texas' friendliest people.


Here are a few shots from today:

Looks like everyone had a great time sorry I missed it.

If you see something you want to go to and I'm going, there's always room in the truck for you.

Junkyguns,

the thing that pissed me off was that we asked the r.g. for the 50yd range and he said there wasn't one for rifles then turned around and tells me to go to the 50yd till i get it on paper geeez make up his mind allready, that is what i wanted in the first place i have a non magnified red dot on my ar.... go figure .... I don't know about giving them a second chance for rifle range anyway ..the giys atthe other end were terific one of them was a bit robotic but wasn't rude . I have allready sent the owner an email concerning the jack ass on the rifle range.
had the guy come and said hey do you think a few shots on the 50 yd range would help get it on paper ,it would have been cool , his words were if you cant hit the paper , you cant shoot here ! that was what set me off. i mean why do i take a rofle to a range .... to get it dialed in . I guess nexttime if there is a next time I will bring one of my other rifles and a postage stamp for a target !

hell who knows maybe I just was having a bad day ,and i just didn't know it !

Nice meeting you, I hope the safe made it back okay. Hopefully DirtyD will see this so he'll know you gave me the $100......wasn't he gonna send more?

 

[DCortez]

I told him and all he had on him was $0.50. As I'm not a scrooge, I took the $0.50 and gave him the first number ... at least that's what I told him, lol.

DCortez, thanks for the pics! I was backing out of the driveway when I realized I hadn't packed my camera.

BTW, your wife rocks. We didn't get to chat for long but if I wasn't driving today we'd have probably had a few big beers

 

[navyguy]

Great time for sure. With a little coaching from Shorts and Army1911, Paula's got that 1911 .45 down pretty good and now she doesn't want to shoot the .22 anymore...

junkyguns, sorry you had a bad experience with the RO. All I can say is the 10 - 15 times I've been there the RO's have been nothing but very cordial, helpful and accommodating. I've not shot down at the long rang rifle range, so maybe there are some A-holes down there.

I saw Paula's target today, she has really improved since the first time I met you two. I was really impressed. She used to be all over the place with placement, but now she is becoming a really good shooter. She also appears more comfortable and confident with the guns. Good for her!

Thanks King. I forgot to mention all of the help you offered as well. That was great, and Paula appreciated that. Sometimes it's better when someone other than the spouse instructs.

 

[usmcpmi]

Hey all, just got home and unloaded the truck. Thank you to all the members that showed up today! But I think we really need to get moving on the t-shirts...I wasn't sure who was in our group or not. And maybe some name tags so us old folks can try to remember ya'lls names! I know I asked some of ya'll about the San antonio shoot at the end of Jan. so spread the word, maybe some of the DFW group can load up together to make the trip more cost effective... MG

 

[kingofwylietx]

I need to check a calendar. I know we don't have anything planned for Jan, so we might be able to get a few to carpool for the shoot.

 

[Shorts]

A car pool would be fun.

We talked about taking a trip down to SA to goof off and catch a Spurs game (GO SPURS!). So, we wanted to do something that month for sure.

I need to find out when drill weekend is though.

 

[kingofwylietx]

I can probably get us a free place to stay & practice shooting if we wanna bed in Uvalde.

I don't know. Unpaved rocky roads, 4x4s, loaded guns carried openly, big bbq pit, lots of acres, a few miles from town, coolers of beer, walking around at all hours of the morning with flashlights and rifles...sounds absolutely tiring ....but count me in.
