April 2016 Hicksville Headcount

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Welcome to the 9th Semi-annual TGT meetup at Hicksville Gun Range in Gatesville. April 2, 2016!
Not a lot has changed since the last meet as far as rules go, but here's a run down for those of you coming for the first time. I copied this directly off the thread that Glockster put together, so thankyou Glockster for doing that.

Hicksville Gun Range - TGT rules & general information

Hicksville Gun Range
225 Dusty Lane
Gatesville, TX 76528
254-223-1362
www.hicksvillegunrange.com


COST: $20.00 per shooter (unlimited guns), cash only
Fee includes using steel on pistol and rifle ranges and the skeet/trap machines (bring your own clay). Feel free to bring your own lunch or order pizza. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed at all by the range. You may want to bring folding chairs.


Tannerite: The range is mandating a 20 pound limit of Tannerite per explosion.
Tannerite is encouraged and sold onsite, however expect them to be selective about what items are blown up. Metal barrels are not allowed.

You may bring other targets including paper, bowling pins, water balloons, melons, etc. just nothing with glass or fluids and you must pick up after yourself.


Ammo Not Allowed:
Armor piercing
Tracers
Incendiary


Brass Pick Up Rule: The range has agreed to suspend their no pick up rule for this event. They have asked that you notify them when you sign in and pay that you intend to pick up your own brass.


200-600 yard range qualifying:
Sorry, long range area is no longer available


Camping: Tent and RV camping is allowed on Friday night at the range for free. Bear in mind that there are no RV hookups or shower/restroom facilities like a traditional campground. The camping rules are you must be quiet after 10pm, pick up your trash, and absolutely no alcoholic beverages allowed at anytime.


Newcomer Advice:

1. If bringing tannerite, DO NOT mix it until on the range and close to the time of usage. It is illegal to transport mixed tannerite.
2. Have a plan to watch your stuff.
3. Take sunscreen/bug spray and basic first aid supplies.
4. Be safe handling firearms and if a fellow shooter calls you on something, don't get butt hurt, instead man up and change your behavior.
5. Cease fires/target change: This range does not have regularly scheduled cease fires/target change times. If going down range, stop and look first and let the others on the line know. This is mainly for the pistol area.
6. The 100 yard range will have posted RSO's all day.
7. If bringing a child/teen or new shooter as a guest then please take them under your wing and watch them and avoid accidents. The "paper target" area on the pistol range is probably a safer area for new shooters and those around them.

This thread will be updated as needed. Please check back, especially before a meet, and familiarize yourself with the current information. Other range rules apply and are posted on site.


Shoot safe - have fun!

[Charlie]

I'm sure I can get mine changed. Do I have to go to the courthouse?

 

[Edwarethered]

Wish that wasn't such a long way, otherwise i'd be there. My work tends to get busy around early spring.

 

[Charlie]

Excuses not excepted! Be there!

 

[Edwarethered]

If we don't get a tropical storm in the gulf around then and coworkers haven't already put in too many vacation request around there, I could probably swing it. Could ya'll put me down as a possible maybe?

 

[Charlie]

Yeah, but there's a penalty if you don't show!

 

[orbitup]

Tina and I should be there. We haven't missed one yet!

We can do the dueling tree competition this time if we can find a spot. Last time it was too crowded. Right after lunch.

I'm in for that too.

 

[robertc1024]

#@ck yes. If I'm not dead, I'll be there. Pulled pork in tow. Besides the camaraderie, I have learned so much about guns. I have a special prize for Ben English. If YG sells his .50, somebody gotta bring one. Planning on bringing enough Goex to satisfy the black powder crowd.

 

[robertc1024]

Yeah, but there's a penalty if you don't show!

You have to show up before 3:00 with a white boy cap.

 

[Edwarethered]

You have to show up before 3:00 with a white boy cap.

AM or PM? Also, Please define white boy cap. Not sure if I have one of those laying around.
