Florida Shoot?

Earlier I posted that you needed to be a member of the NRA to shoot at Manatee. I was wrong. It seems that I misread the info brochure.

You only have to be a member of the NRA "If you wish to join the club"

Again my apologies. Thanks P5 Guy.

 

I'm in- if ya'll don't mind a beginner taggin' along! All I have is my .38- buncha wad cutters and a handful of hydra shok. It'll be my first time at a gun club. Had the basics class and got my CWP. Don't know many places around here that I can go, yet. Don't often get time to go either so please, bear with me. I'm taking a personal day off and I NEVER do that! Time for a break Boss man can't say no! Sounds like a great way to spend a Friday- can hardly wait!!!

 

Happy to have you come along,

 

Lil38- Come on and join the fruckus, ought to be fun.

 

I'll be there if at all possible, about the only thing I can think of that would prevent me this time would be the closing on the deal.

 

Hope a fruckus is a good thing! Thanks for the invite- how many going so far?

 

Me and the my wife is two.

 

Me is one which according to my superior sipherin skills is 4 including P5 and Lil38. Who else?

 

Sorry guys, I'm out this time. Little Hitler has decided I don't get the day off. prick.

 

Count me in!

My wife goes North I goes south. Pardon me I gotta go clean a Rifle.

Geoff
Who looks forward to it.

 

Four days 'til the fruckus!

Any other FL folks wanna join the fun? We only have five, maybe six so far.

 

I'm hoping the rain blows out for Friday. The field needs to dry out a day or two.
Does anybody have a digital camera they want to bring to document the frukus?

 

I'm game for Manatee at 0900 on Friday (do I have the date/time right?).

 

Yep, bring guns, lots of ammo, eye and ear protection, and have a good time.

 

Loadin' up. I may be there a bit after 0900 though. It's 252 miles from here as mapquest and the website instructions figger. With a short stop for gas ice for the water and soft drinks, and breakfast at a Cracker Barrell.

Geoff
Who intends to leave at 0-dark-thutty.
Who knows the secret of the table game!

 

Wow, that's a lot of miles. Have a safe trip. U know, drive carefully n all that. Look forward to meetin' ya'll!

 

I made it to the Fruckus and returned home in one piece.

The thunderstorm in Orlando slowed me down considerably.

Geoff
Who tried to infect two innocent young women with the 1911 habit.

 

All- I apologise for not being able to make it friday morning, but I didn't find out till early friday morning that I was scheduled for an interview for a promotion here at work. RRRGGGHhh! I really wanted to be there! Next time I will be.
Jeff- Lil38 told me she shot the ol .45! "Major Boom" was how she described it.
P5- Wish I coulda been there to try that M1 :banghead:

Night all.

 

OK, from Left to Right.

Jeff Timm, Lil'38, P5 and his wife.

Geoff
Who is learning to shoot lefthanded.

 

After action report.

A good time was had by all.

The official drink of the fruckus was reduced suger Coca-cola.

Casulties, Jeff Timm, attempted to clear a double feed failure,
staple got me right in the finger tips.

Fortunately, I had a backup staplegun.

Geoff
Who needs drill and coaching on the left hand shooting.

 

So, when's the next one and where will it be?

 

Im at everyone's mercy on this one. Ya'll tell me and I'll be there. Lets perhaps try to make the next one during the weekend.

 

Manatee is a great facility.

I'd like one with a little more looseness (the antithisis of safety)

It's a very good range, but perhaps we need to spread out a little.

Of course I don't have a range nearly as nice as Manatee in the immediate area.

Geoff
Who is looking for alternatives, in an area where you can't stand in a potatoe patch for 15 minutes, without a surveyor or a bulldozer driving you away.

 

Ready when ya'll are! Let's make it soon- I don't wanna get "rusty" Already bought my 3 boxes of ammo! Might even have my hands on a 22 rifle by then! Addictive ain't it?!

 

My name is P5 and I'm a gunaholic and hope not to recover.
