I'll try to make it if I'm not working... Where is it at, I can't look at that link at work :fire: .

If I'm able to go, I'll bring a new steel shooting tree from Cabelas. It's got 4 steel plates on either side that swing to the other side when hit. Works w/ 9mm - 30-06.

From PvtPyle:

The 20th is for Minions and range help. That is about the only time we will get to shoot and have fun. We will blast a few tresspassers with NVD's and Thermals if we can lure them in. Marcus will bring the electronic coyote call and the grenade launcher again.

We will be bringing a grill or two for Saturday, so bring some food to grill.

It is family friendly, so bring the kids.

BTW, it is open to all comers. Bring your safety hat and your boom stick. The only thing is that you have to introduce yourself and be friendly!

We're still scouting some good locations. We'll make sure it gets posted well in advance.
 
I know some pretty good places in the West Desert. BLM land, w/ good back stops, firewood, plenty of room for RVs, tents, parking, etc.

Break out a topo map and check this area out: The old Pony Express trail past Faust goes over a pass and after there are some pretty good spots. It's near Dugway Proving Grounds though, so I don't know if they would spot the group and scramble the F-16s and black helicopters when they saw our "militia".

Also, there are some good places on BLM land near the FARM.

I'm excited! I missed the last get together w/ FBMG and the trailer of ammo.

Correia: will FBMG be going to this event?
 
I don't know where the FARM is. FBMG will be there, though.

We went to The Bowl last time, but it gets too crowded and you have too many fools in Jeeps and on quads trying to zip over your backstop.

PM any good suggestions to either PvtPyle or Correia. We don't want it TOO far out in the boonies, 'cause then no one will show up, but it's got to be remote enough where everybody in the county won't be trying to drive through your firing lane.

Let's try not to wander out into the bomb range, too. :D
 
Here's a link to the FARM: http://www.udpl.net/FARM/farm.html

There's a map on the bottom of the page. I've shot a Utah Defensive Pistol League match there. It's an awesome facility.

Maybe we could even hold the event at the FARM if there isn't a match that weekend, or Law Enforcement training. I'd imagine they'd be OK with it if everyone chipped in some $ and chipped in via cleanup, etc.

I'll email them and ask. Can't hurt to ask, right?
 
Grizz,

We don't want to do it at the FARM.

Correia: will FBMG be going to this event?

Yeah, and we're bringing about half a dozen different belt feds to rent. The problem with the FARM is that their berms have eroded and are getting too short. You can shoot normal stuff there, but you aren't going to be shooting beltfeds. Too much dispersion and climb.

We need a mountain to shoot in to. :)
 
Update:

We'll know on Monday where the shoot will be held.

We're bringing about 30 NFA items, and a truckload of ammo.

The Sig Arms rep is coming, and bringing one of everything, so if there are any Sigs that you've been interested in trying out, he'll have them there for you to play with.
 
OK, the location will be at Big Shots. There is a fee, $10 for individuals and $15 for dads and kids. The fees will be well worth it once you guys see the clubs house and everything that is available to us. Thw 2500 sqft club house is going to be great to get out of the sun, and the firing line is covered. That will be very nice! Lots of steel and cars to light up. They said we can blow the hell out of the cars, even with the tannerite.

We will have lunch available. Hamburgers and hot dogs with chips a drink and maccaroni/potatoe salad, $5 for adults and $2 for kids.

The Sig rep will be there and we are trying to get a NRA/kids safety course set up.

One of our instructors will be doing a combat pistolcraft clinic on Saturday around 4pm.

Saturday night, we will blow up some more stuff and shoot some MG's and other stuff at night.

Sunday we may shoot some more if there is an interest.

We will have ammo for sale and of course the MG rentals. I will post the rental prices tomorrow, but compaired to the other places that rent them, it will be very reasonable.

The best way to get there is to go out I-80 to exit 88. Get off, go about 3 miles and turn left at the big sign.

We will open the range about 9 AM and have the range safety brief then. We will have another at noon. Wihle the red shirts run the range, EVERYONE is responsible for safety.

For those helping set up Friday and run the event over the weekend, we are going out about noon to begin set up. As soon as that is done we will begin shooting and run into the night.

Anyone have questions?
 
It is I-80 west, headed in the general direction of wendover. The ranch is on the south side of the freeway. Like PvtPyle said, you have to go about 3 miles, you'll then see their sign on the left.

If you are anywhere near Utah, you HAVE to come shoot with us. you'll be kicking yourself if you only get to participate via youtube...
 
Here are the rental prices for the MG's to help everyone budget what they want to shoot.

9mm Subgun 30rds $10
7.62X25 Subgun 30rds $10
7.62X39 30rds $10
7.62X54R 100rds $25
7.62X54R 200rds $50
7.62X54R 250rds $65
40mm per round $10

I'm supposed to be heading out on a much needed vacation on the 20th. I'll see if I can talk the wife into delaying our departure, those cars aren't going to ventilate themselves!
