So after 100 plus posts we finally have confirmed a date for SLO. :D
This is going to be a meet to chill with the guys so guns will be optional but please bring plenty of film :)

At this time ,the location will be in or near the National Forest surrounding SLO. I believe Combat-Wombat has the exact location.

Theme if we shoot, will be three gun competition(pistol, shotgun and rifle): man on man, with possible night ops (shooting in the dark). So please bring your Surefires and a couple of spare batteries. LED lights are nice also. Since this is going to be winter weather please dress accordingly. Skunk and I have power inverters in our cars so if you want to bring anything that plugs in you'll be taken cared of. (My inverted is 250 Watts max.)

Oh and if you dont like the camera wear lots of camo :D :evil: Be ready to eat lots of red meat!!!!


Also edit to add: If you are a minor please do not ask if we are comfortable with you carrying a firearm without parental supervision. Common sense and the LAW mandates parental supervision. End of story.

[Skunkabilly]

I'm in.

Departing from Orange County at 5:30pm.

[Average Guy]

I call shotgun! (That is, in the Skunk Response Vehicle.)

Gotta order that Surefire forend now, and maybe scrounge up a battle-type rifle...maybe.

[Archie]

For those of us who are abbreviation impaired, what and where is SLO?

[stv]

San Luis Obispo.

Don't think I'll make this one, might be in Yosemite that weekend.

[45R]

Thoughts on meeting at Santa Margarita Lake again. Some of the guys cant leave until 1700 hours on Friday. We can also get out grubs on at AJ Spurs again!!! :)

[Skunkabilly]

Note to all, we're thinkin' about rallying in town where there's cell coverage then caravanning to the campsite. If we go back to Santa Margarita lake, most of us have been there and should be able to find it in the dark.

[Average Guy]

Hippies?

:uhoh:

[Skunkabilly]

Roadrunner One, be advised you are backlit :o

[confinedbythecurtain]

Im heading up that way in two weeks (Oceano), are there any good ranges up that way?

[45R]

checkout the Hogue Action Range in SLO. Its a good range. Rifle range has targets up to 300 yards...

[Combat-wombat]

Hey- albeit less tactical than roughing it in the woods, A repeat of last shoot is A-Ok, and actually much easier for me.

[confinedbythecurtain]

Hey, thanks for the Hogue Action Range tip, me and some buddys are gonna have some time to kill up there, what better way to do it?

[natedog]

I'll be there...I don't have a Surefire, will duct tape and a Mag-Lite suffice? :p

[45R]

UPDATE

We will rally just outside of Santa Margarita Lake and set up at the campsite when everyone arrives. Dress warm its going to be cold!

[Duke of Lawnchair]

I'll be there.

Just me this time. Wendy will be staying at the Apple Farm Inn in San Luis Obispo so she can stay warm and shop at stupid Pier 1 Imports during the day.

[Skunkabilly]

To reiterate:

Is the night-shoot still a go, or are we going to be bursting from input and output valves with meat, meat, peppers, meat, mushrooms, more meat, and if applicable, potatoes, and more meat?

CARBS ARE FOR WUSSES

[Combat-wombat]

... meat, meat, peppers, meat, mushrooms, more meat, and if applicable, potatoes, and more meat?

Dude- What flavor of Haterade are you trippin' on? Potatoes are high-carb starch-packin' mofo's! :p

[45R]

Henry-
She has 5 words for you :)

She has 5 words for you

Five words? I only see one word (with five letters and one mark of punctuation).

(Why, yes--that IS what I do for a living.) :D

[45R]

Kay she has 5 LETTERS and an exclaimation point :)

HAHA



Just a thought but what do you guys think about splitting a hotel room(S) in SLO?

[Skunkabilly]

In that case I'm pitching my tent on the balcony!

I rather camp at Santa Margarita then drive to town.

Unless it means we'll have more people joining the party if we do the ho-tell thing.

[Combat-wombat]

Looks like YOU just got "Owned", Mr. 45post annoying pictures to piss me offR :neener:

Oh, I'm way more for camping. Hotel=lots o' money that coule be better spent on ammo, but more importantly camping is more fun, and more tactical.

[Skunkabilly]

Camping = high speed

Hotels = high carb

:neener:

[45R]

X200 came in yesturday!!! It is one bad little LED light!

[Duke of Lawnchair]

WORD!

Hopefully, my LMT BUIS will arrive by this weekend.

[Average Guy]

I wish Lightfighter would come correct with my 1300 tac sling. Is 3 months and counting unreasonable?

I think I'll work on some taglines for them:

"Lightfighter: When it absolutely, positively has to be backordered and placed in limbo forever."

"Lightfigher: Fast e-mail response. Limitless excuses."

"Lightfighter: 'It's the manufacturer's fault!'"

"Lightfighter: Great Prices. No Inventory."

[45R]

The pictures :)

You gotta be ka-ka-pooing me.

What sort of sling did you order? I have a dismantled CQB solutions 3point that I've been unable/too lazy (mostly inept) to reassemble. If you can piece it together, you can have it.

Jim

[Duke of Lawnchair]

Dayam Nelson, you're blingin' outta control!!!

[45R]

http://www.spectergear.com/870_1187_cqb_sling.htm for directions on how to use the sling :)

[Duke of Lawnchair]

HOT DAMN!!!

[45R]

I found those yesturday on a quest to look for a sling. I emailed you the link last night.

[Average Guy]

What sort of sling did you order? I have a dismantled CQB solutions 3point...


A CQB Solutions 3-point. :D

Yes, they're now Specter Gear. Which may be why there's the big holdup with LF. I'll go right to the source this time. It'll only cost me a couple of extra bucks.

[Duke of Lawnchair]

Curtis,

I ordered my Single point directly from Specter Gear nearly two weeks ago.

My order didn't arrive till yesterday.

Jim

[Combat-wombat]

LOL, Curtis. I just learned about Lightfighter the hard way, too. I ordered 4 pairs of 5.11 pants and shorts. One pair of shorts came in 2 weeks. After waiting one and half friggin' months of asking if they had any idea when they'd get their damn shipment, I canceled the order a day ago. I'll get the other 3 pairs somewhere else.:mad:

Hey, Nelson- Which 226 are you bringing? The NH production one or your West German?

[45R]

Henry-
Depends on the mission requirements for the SLO meet. I will only bring one pistol. It will either be the 226 or 220ST unless I get the 92FS before the shoot.

Nelson

[Combat-wombat]

Eww... you're getting a Beretta? I thought you were a classier person than that. :scrutiny: My apologies to Skunkabilly. :neener:

If I have any say, I'd vote for the 226.

[Duke of Lawnchair]

I have glocks, that means that I'm a slut!

[45R]

If I have any say, I'd vote for the 226.

Problem is that you don't :neener:

[Combat-wombat]

No, Glocks are fine. Berettas are just way too big for the caliber, and un-ergonomical, and impractical. You could get 15 rounds of 9mm in a Glock for half the size.

[Average Guy]

I just learned about Lightfighter the hard way, too.

It's some Andrew Wyatt PsyOps is what it is. First it's "Lightfighter has the best prices." A month later it's "But you'll wait forever to get your order."

It's all love, AW. ;)

Maybe if I get lucky on eBay, I'll have a light for my SW1911 in time to operate. (I just narrowly missed a forend light for my Mossy that I don't really "need," but it woulda been a good deal, so...)

[Andrew Wyatt]

it's about knowing who to order from and when.

ordering from a place right outside of fort brag when there are two simultaneous wars going on is dumb.

also, LF gets no love from the manufacturers because the manufacturers are too busy selling direct to the military in 3000 unit batches.

[45R]

It's some Andrew Wyatt PsyOps is what it is

LOL!!! You mean you haven't learned from his Enfield Group Buy. The thing has taken over 3 years to do. (Of course this is no fault of his, so he says!!!) :neener: Just kidden BIG JUST KIDDING.

Anyways jokes aside!!

UPDATED!
Duke and I were thinking about resuming to the regular plan of meeting up at the National Forest near SLO. It'll be a THR all weekend BBQ, hiking and photography thing. No guns just hanging out with the crew. Skunk will get to test out his sleeping gear and I'll get to mess around with my 2 burner stove. :) This sound good to the rest of you all. The best of all, a new place to do night ops recon.

Let me know what you guys think.

[Skunkabilly]

No guns and all BS/BBQ/camping is fine with me.

Are we going to be in the SLO vicinity?

[Skunkabilly]

Alright Henry.

For public record, Combat Wombat sayeth:

Let's settle this. Git ready for a duel, fool! Awww nawwww

[enter banjos and turntables]

[45R]

Jeff put the gloves back on. He's not worth it.
1. You don't know were his hands have been.
2. If the Beretta is too big for Henry.......then I guess he has some "personal" problems if you will. :o
3. If you dont leave bruising ....its not child abuse. :) (JUST KIDDING!!!)

[Average Guy]

Yeah, camping is cool. Now I gotta buy something to live in--besides, of course, the "Rio camo" cabana. I've had my eye on one of those truck bed tents for a while, but it's not particularly versatile without the truck, I'd think.

Don't you worry: when the time comes, I'll be fully operational and ready to operate.

Oh, and AW... <amphibious salute> :D

[Andrew Wyatt]

COmbatwombat lies.


We all know that glocks are actually bigger than berettas and that the one true 9mm is the BHP.


Also, My new years resolution included a section about not leaving town unless there's shooting.

[45R]

Curtis
Big 5 is having a sale on 8X8 dome coleman tents in my neck of the woods for 40 bucks!

[Combat-wombat]

No, I meant a Glock 19, Andrew, which you know is smaller than a Beretta. They both can take 15 rounds of 9mm. If you're talking about the 17, fine, it's around the size of a Beretta but it holds 17 rounds.

Naw, Berettas are fine, just not my first preference. Don't hurt me, please!:uhoh:

Will Andrew stop his war against Henry, even though Henry has no idea what it's about? Find out, in the next episode of FlameWars, right here on THR.

[45R]

Andrew and Henry = 2 BBs in the same shotshell. :neener:

[Combat-wombat]

Well, sure. We could do the no shooting thing- After all, it's not like this is a gun forum or anything. :rolleyes:

Again, I suggest a repeat of last time- Santa Margarita lake, and shoot at Hogue Action Range.

[Andrew Wyatt]

so, what's the final word on this thing? is it actually at SLO or not? I'm perfectly willing to go if it's at SLO and there are no minors packing.

[Combat-wombat]

Well, I'm up for it, and I think everyone else it- No, for the last friggin' time, I'm not carrying. It's a complicated story, and got blown way out of proportion.

[Sven]

Closed by request of thread originator, 45R.

Minors packing will not be tolerated because it is illegal. I don't even want to hear people talking about the possibility of this being a part of a THR family gathering.
