[sturmruger]

I think I will be able to make. I will have a couple of new guns by then so I am all pumped to go shooting.

top.

i live about 10 miles from armored fire. although i don't think i can make it this weekend. if there is another get together this summer, i will make damn sure i can make it.

next time, I can also bring my machine gun for people to shoot. I legally own a Smith and Wesson 76. it's not a bad little gun. LOLOL

nice to see a fair amount of MN'ers here.

 

[Series 70]

I'm a scratch. The list of things to do this weekend has gotten too long, too quickly. Have fun - hopefully I can make it next time.

 

[Lobotomy Boy]

I'd be interested some other time, but I have an old friend visiting from out of town this weekend.

BTW, Armored Fire allows any caliber up to a certain speed. I forget what that is, but two of the calibers not allowed are 22-250 and 220 Swift.

 

[wintermute76]

I think it's 3600 fps, not positive tho.

See y'all there on Sunday.

 

[s&w 24]

ammo loaded, bag packed, I'll see you all there at 2 pm

I think I've talked to you at AF, I certainly remember someone with a sweet S&W 76.

I should be there tomorrow.

 

[MrKandiyohi]

I hope the turnout is good tomorrow. Can't make it this weekend 'cause I'm on-call at the hospital.

Let us know when and where the next MN one is planned.

[goalie]

AAAARG.

I am not going to be able to go due to "family" obligations. And I wanted to see if anyone had one of those little Kel-Tecs too so I could see if they would work for me as an anywhere gun.

 

[repsychler]

Not that it'll make you feel any better, but I am bringing my Kel-tec P3-AT.

 

[P95Carry]

Have a great day guys ..... love it when groups of THR's can get together.

Hope the Weather Gods smile for you. Wish I could be there!

 

[wintermute76]

Looks like I"ll have the FAL, Mini-14, my Kimber pro carry, Para 18.9 LDA and not sure what all else...probably a couple .22's

 

[dustind]

I hope the weather works out too, I am riding my motorcycle.
I will be leaving in 35 minutes.

repsychler: Cool, I will want to take a look at it.

 

[goalie]

Right now I just got home from "family time" and you guys are out shooting. Since Armoured Fire allows rifles, next time we do this, or if we do it outdoors, I will have to bring out the .375 and the SAR-1 to light off a few, or, in the SARs case, a few dozen.

 

[Lobotomy Boy]

Let's hear a report from the AF field trip. Wish I could have joined you. I hit Burnsville Pistol Range yesterday morning so the weekend wasn't completely wasted, but the AF trip sounded like fun.

 

[F4GIB]

We didn't get the Armored Fire. They were having a surprise ATF audit. So we went to Bill's.

 

[Lobotomy Boy]

Heck, if I had known you were in the neighborhood I would have invited you all over for refreshments.

range report

I arrived at Armored Fire ten minutes early on my motorcycle. A few THR members were hanging out, I joined them and learn that the range was closed due to an ATF audit. I found an ATF pin on the ground without a back. We waited for more members to show up, left a note on the door, and then left.

It took me a minute to get going. So I flew safely through traffic trying to catch up to the group going to Burnsville pistol range (or so I sort-of thought). I got stuck due to a traffic accident ahead. Even though nothing happened on the west bound side of the interstate, traffic was backed up. On the other side people were out of their cars for miles, some talking, some sitting on their roofs for a better view.

I stopped for gas at a station that did not accept credit cards. I then went to another station, and a police officer followed me. He stopped me in the station for my visor being up, and because the "day light" (whatever you call it) on my motorcycle was too dim for him to see from his point of view. He asked me where I was going, "bill's" I said. Sadly he wanted to know who Bill was, so I told him it was a shooting range. He then asked me if I had any guns on me a few times, and if I had a ccw. I had given my backpack to another THR member with a car when I stopped at Armored Fire, to save my back from carrying the weight. After the stop was done he patted me down for weapons, found my knife, opened it, and put it back. I then went to a different gas station after having embarrassing myself at the second one. I bought gas, made it to BSP, realized it was the wrong place, and then headed to Bill's.

I arrived at Bill's, found the group, got my guns, and went shooting. I shot someone's P3AT, (kel-tec .380) and my Beretta Neos.

Overall I had a fun time, I got to ride my motorcycle (a lot) in February which is rare, I got to shoot, and most importantly I met a few new THR members. I would happily do it again.

sorry for the ATF pooping on the party The next MN shoot I think will be in april. I would love to shoot outdoors so if any members have any help on that it would be great being that I only know of one range that we could use and it would take 90 min to drive to from the twin cities.
