Hell i'm not taking a date... just going out for some fun with some other folks from the board.

Congrats on the CHL step, I do still need to get mine as well, if I don't have it by then maybe we can party up. Come on out if you want to get more familiar with the firearms.

I'll have me .40 XD and a 12g shotgun out there that you can try out.:naughty:

wha? We're talking about firing weapons at targets, not genitals at each other. Jeez!

[David L. Gary]

Hell, I may make this one, even if I have my son that weekend.

[Skidmark]

Hell, I may make this one, even if I have my son that weekend.

A member said he may bring his boys along to shoot their .22s. My roommate may go as well with his .22 :) I'll PM you my number in case you get there and don't know where to find us.

[helosailor]

I'll probably be in for this one too. Not bringing the antique with the confirmed broken firing pin :irked: though.

[Skidmark]

I forgot to ask you about that... whatcha gonna end up doing with it? Price a fix yet?

CYA there buddy :burnout:

[helosailor]

I can get a firing pin pretty easily, so it will get fixed. Just have to decide if I want to do it myself or pay a gunsmith.

for the sake of time and safety, go with a gunsmith :p

[347Mike]

:hmmm:You know how i know your gay

He straddled your ass last time showing you how to properly hold the mossberg?

[blue302stang]

He straddled your ass last time showing you how to properly hold the mossberg?

but he told me that's how he skeets

[347Mike]

but he told me that's how he skeets

He skeets in your ass? :confused:

[helosailor]

for the sake of time and safety, go with a gunsmith :p
I most likely will. The bolt has some tiny screws and springs that I doubt I have the neurosurgeon skills to deal with. :D

[blue302stang]

He skeets in your ass? :confused:no but he sure as hell tried

[Skidmark]

You guys have some issues. John, is Maelinda joining this time? Meeting up for some breakfast?

[Xtine]

:28: Damn, why you gotta do it on a Saturday!!!!!! I am working. Sundays are my shooting days! :28: Hee Hee!

[Skidmark]

:28: Damn, why you gotta do it on a Saturday!!!!!! I am working. Sundays are my shooting days! :28: Hee Hee!

Ah that sucks, I know if I did it on Sunday it would have to be a lot later cause i'll probably be hung over :Eyecrazy:

Just take a PTO day and have some fun!

[blue302stang]

You guys have some issues. John, is Maelinda joining this time? Meeting up for some breakfast?

yes she will be joining us. I'm up for some breakfast before the shooting

[347Mike]

yes she will be joining us. I'm up for some breakfast before the shooting

Do you want us to give you a 20 min head start so we can actually finish eating at the same time, or are you going to finish like the rest of the adults?

[blue302stang]

Do you want us to give you a 20 min head start so we can actually finish eating at the same time, or are you going to finish like the rest of the adults?

I'll take a 10 minute head start and we should be good

[slow55]

I didn't think the allowed rimfires at the range??
I can make this one so I'm down for shooting some skeet.
If they will allow 22s I need to sight in my 10/22

[347Mike]

If they will allow 22s I need to sight in my 10/22

Yes. Yes, theyre allowed.

I'll shoot some skeet as well, but I do it with a tacical shotgun. Looks funny lol

Eh... taking one Sunday, no go this time! Maybe one day!!!

[FatassLX]

I most likely will. The bolt has some tiny screws and springs that I doubt I have the neurosurgeon skills to deal with. :D

What is it?

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I didn't think the allowed rimfires at the range??Why wouldn't they?

[slow55]

Why wouldn't they?

The last time I was at Alpine, which has been about five years ago there were signs hanging up that said no rimfire firearms allowed. There was also one that said no fmj rounds either.

[Baron]

sweet, I am bringing a 12ga, my 22, the palm bruise, and my SKS.

Let me know where breakfast is, I will be there too.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

:(
I haven't shot my AR in forrrrrrrrevvvvvvvvvver. But I don't feel like buying any softpoint stuff.

LMK what you want to do about breakfast. Maybe I'll pull some toys out and join you guys. I have two guns in the safe that I still haven't shot. (one of them has been sitting in there, unfired, for at least 9 months!)

YOu better be ther efucker! I shold be there.. shopefully around 9.

[5.0_CJ]

Weird. I understand the FMJ, but no rimfire is just dumb.

Rimfire is allowed on the pistol range. But, I don't think it's enforced on the rifle range.

[Skidmark]

Last time we just hit up Chic Fil A for breakfast since it was close to us, anything sound extra tasty to ya'll?

Most of us are in the mid city area

[helosailor]

What is it?

It's a 1928 vintage Winchester Model 12, 12 gauge.

[FatassLX]

Get the pin and I'll do it.

[David]

Im a maybe. I'll have to see how motivated I get.

[Skidmark]

Im a maybe. I'll have to see how motivated I get.

Well be sitting on the edges of our seat waiting to see if you'll come! :biglaugh:

[5.0_CJ]

I just wish we had some range that allowed FMJ and I'd come.

[David]

Well be sitting on the edges of our seat waiting to see if you'll come! :biglaugh:

Aint got no lady for Vday, so I may just make it. Me and my whopping one gun.

[Skidmark]

I just wish we had some range that allowed FMJ and I'd come.

What is the main difference between SP and FMJ? Can you tell visually? Sound?

The few times i've been there no one has checked anything i've brought.

[Skidmark]

Aint got no lady for Vday, so I may just make it. Me and my whopping one gun.

You've got to bring the duece though, lol

[David]

You've got to bring the duece though, lol

Fuck that, that's a long drive in a deuce.

I may bring an MG42 to shoot and get kicked out with.

[bronco71]

Damnit, can't take off that Saturday or I would be there. Prolly have to work 10 - 12 hours. Valentines Day should not be allowed to be on a Saturday....

Have fun at the St. Valentines Day Massacre.......................


BTW rimfires are also a richochet problem....

[Skidmark]

In the picture I have from the range, it says no Centerfire, but this was at the pistol side, so i'm not sure about rifle area.

[5111]

I was thinking about heading out there Saturday morning to shoot some Sporting Clays.

[5.0_CJ]

Fuck that, that's a long drive in a deuce.

they won't even let you bring it in, I've tried that before.

I think the range is going to be packed on Valentines day. Everytime I think I've outsmarted the masses I pull into that parking lot and there are trucks stacked up to the street. I hate shooting when I'm arm to arm with someone.

[5.0_CJ]

It all depends on who is running the range. I've shot FMJ there a few times when I had the younger range officer, the older assclown gets all over you like a nazi, wants to see through all of your bags, etc. Last time he did that I just said fuck it and started packing my shit up and went to the counter and asked for a refund.

The difference is one has a complete copper jacket around the rifle round, and the other has a lead tip, it's opened. They're concerned about over penetration (they say). The real reason is most people can only find FMJ for their rifles, so they're forced to buy soft point rounds from their gun store, in which they overcharge a fortune to make more money. FMJ's are considerably cheaper than SP in many circumstances.

[Skidmark]

I'll shoot some with you, i have a few boxes of 12g shells I need to unload.

I see... so ya'll are more focused on this being rifles than pistols, FMJ wise. I haven't shot at the rifle area yet so i'm not sure how it's monitored. Last time we went early in the morning as well and we had no range officer, we had to call hot and cold ourselves.

Sounds like the rifle area is a bit more monitored. Also sounds like it would be hard to hide since they can visibly see the copper jackets on the table/ground after firing. I was thinking it would be as easy as putting them into a SP box, but i guess not.

There wouldnt be a copper jacket on the ground or table. That shit goes down range.

Think of a standard army bullet vs a hunting round.

Ah I thought what being talked about was the shell that is being ejected. Fuck put that stuff in a SP box then lol

[5.0_CJ]

they make you open it up to look at it. I had some AP rounds silver tipped and the idiot though they were SP, if he was worried about FMJ, he should really be worried about AP.

The pistol range is not monitored normally, you can shoot just about anything on the pistol range, they don't care. Most of my guns are rifles, and that's what I like to shoot at the range. I have an automatic Thompson at Alpine on the pistol range last year and after a couple bursts they asked me to leave. So just don't rapid fire.

One of the reasons I really like the winchester gallery is they don't really give a shit about what you do and how fast you pull the trigger. They've never given me any shit about automatics there. I prefer indoor ranges for pistols, outdoor ranges for rifles.

[slow55]

Alright I just called Alpine and they said rimfires are only allowed on the 50 yard range, can't use them on the 100 yd.
I'll bring my 10/22 and do some sighting in and I damn sure want to shoot some skeet.

I just don't understand why the hell they are not allowed on the 100yard range.

[347Mike]

Brien, are we meeting up at your place like last time?

[Skidmark]

Brien, are we meeting up at your place like last time?

That's cool bro...

[347Mike]

That's cool bro...

Awesome. The other half and i will be there around the same time as before. That cool?

[Pokulski-Blatz]

I just don't understand why the hell they are not allowed on the 100yard range.

So they can keep the 100 yard range open for the larger caliber rifles ?

[03trubluGT]

Sorry guys, I was planning on coming out and bringing my boys so I could get the new scopes sighted in on their rifles, but it looks like Chandler has hockey practice in Duncanville at 9am. I think we'll just do lunch, then run out to Byrd and spread some corn in the hog trap.

Cool, there's always next time. Hockey at 9am, dang, i'm not even mentally awake till noon lol :biglaugh:

But you're going to shoot a firearm? :confused:

Damn good aim too, toots!

Did you just call me, toots??? :smileeek::wall:

Thats strike 2, see post #7 :smileeek:

:biglaugh:

Hey I was talking to DJ and he runs up a different path to the range, we'll probably just end up grabbing some food here and then heading that way.

If you'd like to get here at 8:15 that would be good, that way we can give John time to eat his 15 dollar breakfast... from the dollar menu...

[5.0_CJ]

So they can keep the 100 yard range open for the larger caliber rifles ?

Who care what rifle you're shooting, everyone paid the same amount. Sometimes I bring a .22LR rifle with me for plinking, and I don't want to move around the range just to shoot it.

[blue302stang]

Thats fucked up snoop

[slow55]

Quick run down, who's bring what?
I'm bringing my 22 and 12ga. I don't plan on messing with the 22 for very long and would like to shoot skeet for a while.

I am bringing a 12ga, 22 rifle, SKS, and my Kahr 40.

If anyone wants to meat up in S Arlington somewhere, I am down for some breakfast.

[Strychnine]

I'll stick to clays and bring these 3 guys.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l128/stroked71/guns/shots1.jpg

And no, I don't expect the Marine Magnum to be worth a shit... I just haven't shot it yet.

[blue302stang]

Bring my kimber ultra carry and baby eagle

Lol at the MM.
You'll have to let me run a few sheels through the over/under. I haven't ever shot one and have been kicking around the idea of buying one.

Can do. It's an early 80's Browning Citori, but it only has 26" barrels so it's not ideal for some clays courses... but it will get the job done. ;)

Yeah, I noticed it was kinda on the short side but still should give me a idea of what one is like.
I'm bringing a old Browning Auto-5, kicks like a fucking mule but is fun to shoot.

Rock on. I think DJ and I are planning to only shoot clays.

[slow55]

Rock on. I think DJ and I are planning to only shoot clays.

I might just plan on doing that then, I don't have mess with the 22. I was just going to shoot it for a while to kill time untill people were ready to shoot skeet.

[David]

Im just bringing a .22 pistol since it's the only gun I have ammo available for to use at this range.

[5.0_CJ]

I just realized it's on a saturday. It's going to be fucking packed. Good luck gentlemen.

[Baron]

Matt and I are meeting for some breakfast at the cracker barrel on 20@Bowen at 8 in the morning and rolling from there if anyone wants to meet up with us. The more the merrier.

That sounds good, I haven't eaten at a Cracker Barrel in years. I'll be there

[David]

Cracker Barrel sucks.

I should be at that range at 9:30. I'll be the douchebag looking guy with the black Dallas Stars cap.

[Strychnine]

You guys missed a good time. Me and DJ tore up the clays course.

[slow55]

I ended up being up late and didn't wake up untill 11:30 this morning. Sucks, I wanted to do some shooting.

[5.0_CJ]

so, how busy was it?

[blue302stang]

It was actually empty there. We had the 30 yard pistol range to ourselves

[5.0_CJ]

It was actually empty there. We had the 30 yard pistol range to ourselves

The rifle range was what I was curious about.

[helosailor]

The rifle range was virtually empty. There was me on lane 4 and one other guy on the opposite end (like lane 30?). I could've shot whatever type of ammo i wanted, nobody ever even came close to me.

[Strychnine]

so, how busy was it?

DJ and I were the only people on the clays course.
