Spring 2018 Aftermath

[TxStetson]

My sis says I get her Gen 1 G17 when she dies...which is her way of telling me I'm never getting it.

If anyone wants to shoot it, I'm planning to drag her to the October reunion and I'm going to insist she bring it.

Wait - Is it too early to start planning?

It’s never too early to start planning.

I've already started planning. I've got a huge note on my dry erase board that says "HANGABUR BUNS!!!"

Somebody shot up all my ammo!

Ha!

Just got back from the ranch by Goldthwaite... Sorry I had to leave early but to get to the camp site and set up I had to leave around the time I did... Holy crap it was cold.. EVEN SO it was still wonderful to see all of ya'll out there.

I went to the sight in rifle range and there was a guy there got to talking to him.. He's a member of this forum and had no idea we were having the meetup. I imagine a lot of people are members here and just don't ever get involved with the community.. I can say I am absolutely grateful that I did. I've met a lot of cool people, learned a lot, and been given the opportunity to handle and shoot firearms I never would have had a chance to shoot. Can't wait for October.. Also hope its about 25 to 40 degrees warmer in October, thermometer in my car read 37 when I left BRRRRR.

It wasn't by any chance the guy at the end of the 100 yard rifle range was it?

That guy was pretty knowledgeable about black powder stuff and was shooting a flintlock that I really wanted to try. He was testing loads so I didn't want to interfere as time was getting short.

No this guy was at the 25 yard range and was testing out an Aero precision build he had... He met @Shotgun Jeremy and his wife. Not sure if he met anyone else.

The Reunion was fun.
I always enjoy seeing folks having fun shooting the toys.
My feet have feeling in them today. LoL.

Still say we need a do-over.

Mid May sounds good.

Thanks to Grumper for the full auto fun.

Glad I had it with me to help ya out with.

There should be a requirement that the temperature must be a bigger number than that of the largest caliber being shot!! Brrrrrr.

You say that....until someone rolls up with a 105mm howitzer.

Anything bigger then what I can put on my shoulder doesn't count.

Curious what do you consider cold weather?

Heh

Considering it was 88 degrees on Friday, I'd say that Saturday outing qualifies as "cold". Dang

With a strong wind Saturday, wind chill factor got down to 27 degrees, I'd call that a bit chilly.

We don't get to decide "cold".

I've been in extreme cold before, acclimation has a lot to do with it.

Me too.
Actually had a guy from Alaska tell me that Amarillo was the coldest place he'd ever been.

Try Bozeman in winter.
