Is it time for another SF Bay Area shoot?

[45R]

Dude you'll drive all the way up to Nor Cal but you won't drive down to Ridgecrest. :neener:

[Telperion]

Call me a fair-weather shooter, but I believe we recently had snow on Skyline. :D

[jashobeam]

I would love the opportunity to meet some fellow THR members (and shoot their guns :D ).

What ranges do we have around here? I know of these:

Los Altos Rod and Gun Club (Skyline--Santa Cruz Mountains)
Metcalf (S San Jose)
Chabot (Oakland?)
Laguna Seca (Monterey)

[106rr]

I would like to attend a Bay Area shoot. I can't go on the third Saturday any time, or on April 15th in the evening. Saturday nights I usually shoot steel at San Leandro. Is Sunday an option for anyone?

[atek3]

Call me down for Laguna Seca (Monterey), but if I'm going that far I'd probably ditch the guns and just ride my suzuki around the track all day :)

How about we have a THR track day :)

[esheato]

Due to a new job position, I have weekends off. I should be able to attend.

BTW, which two people hate children? ;)

I'll ride my CBR929 if it'll start. :D That poor neglected bike gets no love at all.

Sundays work for me as long as I can cover my shift at the indoor gun range I work at.

Yeah I'm all over that - I do poorly in cold weather. Shivering fingers making for large groups... then again we do seem to spend most of our time blowing stuff up at the tin can range.

[Acrid]

Chabot or Los Altos are the ranges to go to. Laguna Seca has an hourly rate which is kinda lame. Metcalf on 200yrd days is IMO the best range in the area, but the 100yrd or less range have annoying shooting benches and would be too cramped for a get together.

Regardless of what range, a range day is allways fun. Even if it means firing a M1919 with shivering fingers or struggling in the rain to light a BBQ. Those who where at Chabot last time know what I mean. :D

[chink]

Yeah Skyline got snow last weekend. I got some pictures of the snow at castle rock monday. http://www.garricka.com/pictures/presday/IMG_7785

[pbhome71]

No date, yet?

[Combat-wombat]

The weekends of 4/15-16 or 4/22-23 might work well for me.

[pbhome71]

4/15-4/16 probably is not good. It is tax weekend. :)

Mine is pretty open. The weekend of 4/22 is open for me.

[45R]

4-22/23? is that Easter weekend?

[pbhome71]

No, Easter is April 15th, and 16th.

[gunsmith]

It would be a good excuse for me to get a good burrito and pick up some supplies in China Town as well

[45R]

Location?

[kirby]

I'd be up for that.

[labrat]

Easter is too far away... how about 3/18??? Madkiwi has a new FAL to try out and also a 10/22.

[labrat]

What is this cold weather crap??? Check out my range day in Montana... http://madkiwi.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=7880 ... whoo!!!

[pbhome71]

3/18 sounds good, if it does not snow. ;)

I have a couple of new ones since last time.

I assume Los Altos R&G again?

[labrat]

So... no one else is interested in 3/18 at LARG???

[heypete]

I'm down for the 18th at Los Altos.

I must have missed this thread, and instead started another one (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=187781) -- I'm going to be going with a bunch of folks to Chabot, and all of THR is invited!

BBQ and M1919 goodness! :)

[esheato]

The 18th will work for me also. I'm stoked as this is my first Bay Area shoot.

I'll bring all the big boys. Cooper 223 AI. HS in 260. Winchester 1895 in .405 Win. Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70. My tricked out 10/22. Browning Gold 12 gauge.

Do I need the Browning 12 gauge O/U? BT-99 trap gun? Winchester 20 gauge O/U?

Ed

[Combat-wombat]

The 18th does not work for me, what about 3/25?

[Acrid]

I'm there with the Swiss Miss (K-31). Also will prolly bring a few friends. I can't wait to see what that M1919 can do on the Tin Range!

[Combat-wombat]

So, what's the plan? How does everyone feel about 3/25?

[labrat]

The M1919 is fun :D Got to shoot it today at Chabot. Whoo!

[sigstroker]

I would like to attend a Bay Area shoot. I can't go on the third Saturday any time, or on April 15th in the evening. Saturday nights I usually shoot steel at San Leandro.

Where in San Leandro? I didn't know there was a range in San Leandro.

[sigstroker]

Are Talon reloads okay to bring for the 1919?

[atek3]

are talon reloads 308?

[sigstroker]

.30-06. I forgot 1919's can be converted to .308. I don't know if I have much .308 lying around.

[Combat-wombat]

So, um... is 3/25 ok? Or what...

[45R]

Wont be able to make the 25th bub.

[labrat]

I think heypete is going on the 18th anyway because he has a guest from out of town visiting. Not sure if we would rather go on the 18th or the 25th. I think both are open for us though.

[Combat-wombat]

Hmm. Well, any weekend(except 18th) works for me, pretty much. April 1st, maybe?

[jashobeam]

I am scheduled to work on Saturday the 18th but perhaps there is hope that I will be too sick to work.

[Acrid]

I've got a couple people planning on being there on the 18th.

25th isn't so good becuase I'm planning on 200yrd at Metcalf Field Sports Park on the 26th. If anyone wants to meet at the 200yrd on the 26th, its an awesome shoot and I should be there.

[Sgt Stevo]

How about the first weekend in april. NO snow. Lots of time to plan.

[Combat-wombat]

April 1 is fine for me... sounds good.

[Acrid]

Wait wait wait.....so who is going on the 18th like we planned a week or so ago?

[esheato]

Alright..somebody needs to set the official itinerary. What date is the shoot?

Ed

[45R]

How about April 15th? That gives everyone a month to get their travel plans together, ammo and what not.

Esheato
PM me when you get a chance to.
45R

[Sgt Stevo]

Im up for most weekends, and I will bring bbq stuff. Easter would be bad, and april 29th I am dirt biking at Pismo for a couple days.

[Acrid]

So is anyone going to go on the 18th even if you do another another shoot in the near future? I'm trying to figure out what to tell a few people I invited to go...........

[Thefabulousfink]

While I think a SF Bay area shoot would be nice, I don't live in the Bay area...And I REALLY HATE CHILDREN:mad:

[Sgt Stevo]

the 15th will work well i think. How are ya wombat, you stone killer you? Been awhile.

Anybody opposed to the 15th. wombats dad is agood bbq guy.

[Telperion]

The 15th won't work for me, but either the 1st or the 8th are ok.

[esheato]

I don't care anymore. Somebody with some big cojones pick a day.

Ed

[45R]

April 15th and I hope there are no children at this shoot. The last shoot I went to in SLO we had kids and they were really really annoying. :)

[Telperion]

My preference is still for the 8th; no matches that weekend. :)

[Sgt Stevo]

I have to go with the 15th. I have one large waivo, so I get half a vote. it has eyes. It looks like this:what:

[labrat]

Well, it looks like madkiwi and I aren't going to make it on the 18th. Rental property issues have come up and we will be spending the weekend dealing with those.

[heypete]

Hmm. Sadly, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it either on the 18th. My friend Sarah is in from out-of-town, and she had to deal with me working at Coyote Point on Friday...Saturday's a bit much. Sorry folks.

Maybe next time. Oh well. Maybe then I'll have my homebrew tripod/quadpod/whateverthehellpod for the 1919 done. I just got some parts at Home Depot today.

[Sgt Stevo]

I say 04-15-06 let the bidding begin..

[Combat-wombat]

01 and 15 April look good for me... 08 won't work so well.

[pbhome71]

April 1, 8, and 15 is good for me.
