Yes, EBR=eeeevil black rifle, like AR15, AK-47, SKS, CETME, FAL, AUG. And Bayonets ARE okay on a weapon where they are by manufacture attached, PROVIDED that they are folded.

Can you tell us exactly where it will be? Depending on how long of a drive it is for us, we might make a road trip out of it. Hey, the way it's going we might be on extended vacation anyway - read "severance".

Never mind - is NRA range in Manassas?

No, the NRA HQ range is in Fairfax at the NRA Headquarters building, within sight of I66.

You figured out whether you're going to be there yet or not, Chris?

You talking to me? You talking to me?
ahem.
If you are talking to me, I won't be able to make it. I'll be in NC the entire weekend. If I get my Star BM in time (that just sounds bad), I might pop off a few rounds in you guys' honor.

Dang, can't make it. Was holding out to see what 'She who must be obeyed' had on the burner, looks like we're going to try and salvage what's left of sailing season. Best regards, M2

OK, since Kirk is coming up from the Carolinas, how about we say Noon to 12:30 for the commencement of the shotgunning phase, a light lunch at the restaurant of our choice after that, followed by handgunning at the NRA range?
Anyone? Comments?
Kirk? Since you're the out-of-town talent?

Mike,
May I recommend doing this via e-mail? Just easier to add someone to a group rather than hope they caught the last message as it is pushed down the page by the latest 9mm vs .45 (9mm btw) thread. 12:30 sounds good to me. It will be difficult getting that many people shooting at that time on a Saturday in October. We may wish to break into wobble, sport, trap, and skeet groups rather than everyone trying to shoot one type. Once again, there is Cracker Barrel around there and an IHOP like one exit past the 66 exit for NRA. NRA is exit 50, I think Nutley Street is next and like 1 mile from that is the IHOP so we do not have to worry about everyone shedding arms.

Jamie,
Yep, I live just off of Nutley Street, less than 1/2 mile from the StyeSlop House of Spamcakes...
Gee, can you tell that I don't really like that place?
As for shedding guns...
What? Who in our group carries a gun? (innocent expression...)

At this time, I can not confirm whether or not I can come. I will try to confirm by the end of tomorrow.
How much does the Bull Run range cost to join, or is there a cost?

Nah, we'll leave it around 12 to 12:30, Kirk.
That will give you a little "pad" time on 95, also known as the Highway to Hell.
PM me with the route you normally take, and I may be able to get you off of 95 a little sooner to avoid some of the crap.

Okay, IF I can make it (and that's a big if, unfortunately) I'll try to bring the P99 and let people go through a few rounds with it. And IF I can get some ammo for it by then, I'll also try to bring the Mosin 91/30 and let people put a few rounds through that. Sound good?
And by the way, is the shotgun range open during rain? And in case it does rain, would you want to call it off anyway? I'm sure, though, that rain does not put a damper on the NRA range.

What, too much of a weenie to shoot in the rain?
Haven't you ever hunted ducks before, son?
Depends on the amount of rain. A drizzle, we shoot. A hard driving rain, we head for the NRA range and hope it lets up so that we can get back to Bull Run.

I don't want to shoot in much more of a drizzle simply due to the fact that my glasses get wet and I can't see what I'm shooting at.
