Minnesota THR Shoot - Sunday, January 25

[Andrew Rothman]

First (I think) THR Minnesota Shoot
Sunday, January 25
2 p.m.
Burnsville Pistol Range
14300 Ewing Ave
Burnsville, MN 55306

If enough people are in, I'll see if the range can accomodate us with a group rate, but it's pretty cheap to begin with, and I assume we'll double up, at least, on lanes.

Reply below if you can make it!

This may sound like a stupid question, but is this an indoor range? I have been going down to Armored Fire in Circle Pines but when we were there today there was no heat on the ranges. We got frozen out after about an hour and a half.

 

[goalie]

I am in. And yes, it is indoor.

Sounds like fun - I'm in.

I shoot there all the time and I know that groups can rent the north bay (six lanes) at an hourly rate. If you check bvpistol.com, you can see if the bays are pre-booked.

Since I hate indoor ranges, I will wait until the weather warms up a little and go to my gun club range.........

 

[sturmruger]

I am in!!! Sounds like FUN

 

[dleong]

Count me in on Sunday.

(Mpayne, hats off to you for organizing this get-together!)

P.S. How will we recognize each other?

 

[Andrew Rothman]

Wear a red carnation in your buttonhole!

No, just kidding.

Look for me: I'm 5'9'', 190, black Vandyke beard, navy New York Yankees baseball cap.

(If I have to bail because my wife is in labor, will someone please volunteer to be backup organizer?)

 

[wintermute76]

count me in too, I had started another thread, "Ill reference this one in it as the Official Thread

I have an IDPA match at Armored Fire on the 25th, but hopefully there will be future THR shoots that I can attend.

 

[Sean O'Brian]

Count me in

I have to cruise frm there for work ~ 16h00 but will try to make it.
Good Idea BTW!

I have an IDPA match at Armored Fire on the 25th

I planned on shooting that match originally, but when I heard the heat in the bays is still out... well, I'll do the late-Feb match. There's a classifier in early Feb, but that'll be an all-day affair.

 

[dustind]

I am in. I will either be in a light blue four door lumina, or on a Honda XR400 motorcycle if it is above freezing. (doubt it)

5'7" white mail, 21, dark brown hair, boyish good looks , black pants and jacket, hard pistol case.

If any of you guys are interested there is a MN Free State Project meet on the 24th, Saturday. PM me for details, anyone is welcome.

I figure its good experience. This time of the year, most of the day is cold and dark, just like the shooting bay.

 

[dleong]

Wow! It looks like we've got a pretty big group going here! I hope we can find enough lanes at the BPR this coming Sunday. My experience going there on Sunday afternoons is that there is usually a "line" of people waiting for lanes. Also, more often than not, one of the two available bays is usually reserved for organized events (qualifications, CCW classes, etc.).

Would any of you be interested in adjourning to the Dairy Queen next door after the shoot?

[skippie]

I'M In

I work Every other weekend, and m-f also..., need to know asap...

 

[wintermute76]

DQ after would work for me, won't be doing much else on Sunday.


Mpayne, were you going to try and get reservations? Or just see what it looks like? Either way, I know armored fire and bills are always busy on the weekends too.

You'll know me, I"ll be wearing a black leather trench coat and about 6'2" and about 350 with short brown hair. (geez, is this a shoot or a personals ad? )


See you guys there

 

[sturmruger]

I think I am going to stop at Officemax and buy some name tags. That way we can all right down our THR User name and our real names. That should help with identification and make it easier to get to know people.

 

[Andrew Rothman]

Letting people know my name isn't tactically sound!

 

[larry_minn]

I really can't justify the trip at this time. Unless something comes up in cities on Sat/Monday I am needed for. Great idea and hope it goes well.

 

[Andrew Rothman]

So far it's...

That's 9. I figure we can double up on lanes (gotta reload anyway, right?)

I'll call the range Thursday and see what I can do about reservations.

Anyone else?

 

[dustind]

I would be up for the Dairy Queen idea. It is much easier to carry on a conversation inside DQ than a pistol range with double hearing protection and all the shooting.

 

[minnesota oldie]

With a bit of luck I should be there. What kinds of guns are you bringing? I will have 2 kimbers, a colt, and a S&W 945 and maybe a .22 or 2, and my trusty Glock 26. Just look for the guy carring a HEAVY ammo box.

 

[dustind]

For pistols I only have a .22 Beretta Neos. I will bring some 9mm ammo in case someone is willing to let me shoot their pistol. I am still deciding what brand I would like to buy, possibly a glock.

 

[wintermute76]

dustind, I'll bring my para 18.9 LDA if you want to try it out.


Other than that, it'll probably be my ProCarry HD II .45, AMT automag II (need to try out a new mag for it) my high standard Sentinel .357 and something else,a couple of .22's. Maybe the Coonan will find it's way out of the safe.

Sounds like a good time so far.
