99.99% sure I will make it this time--Mrs. Giant will also attend. firearms will probably include:
M1 Garand
1903A1
Savage 30-06 with scope
Yugo M48 7.92X57mm Mauser (with new Mojo sights)
Thompson Center semiauto .22 LR with scope
Marlin takedown semiauto .22 LR
Ruger 1950 MK I .22 LR pistol
Ruger GP 100 .38 special/357 magnum 4 inch barrel
S&W Model 60 .38 special/357 magnum 2 1/8 inch barrel
Springfield 1911A1 .45 5 inch barrel
S&W model 66? 67? .22 LR 6 inch barrel
I could bring more, but all of these in the car, with ammo included will weigh just about enough.
Mrs. Giant and I usually bring our own soft drinks and sandwich/lunch -- We're open for other ideas though. Slug guns with 100 or so rounds of Lyman cast slugs will be reserved for a future event

Calvin: Are you serious? I need to pick up some .308, or can I buy some surplus off you? Oh my gosh, that is exciting!

Hey guys did we ever get confirmation about being able to have a BBQ.
1/4Bore my can killer is 100% finished and was way way ahead of schedule. My Rugers and Remington Slug guns are ready to kill some cans!!!!!
Is anyone interested in shooting slugs....I have about 30-40 rounds "laying" around?
(Its nice and sighted in at 50 yards) Hint Hint...

I just got off the phone with the range and they DO have picnic tables and an area for a BBQ. If we're doing the grill thing, someone will have to bring a portable.
Still trying to decide what to bring to shoot, hey Sven I got my Tanker M1! This will be it's inaugural appearance. Probably bring the Rem LTR, an AR and sumpin’ else.
Maybe the M1A.

Does anyone know were I can find a box of "Biodegradable Clays"? I picked up a box of sporting clays last night and I guess the rules and regs say that its a big "NO NO!!!"
TIA

not likely I'll make it, but I'll try. so can we try out eachother's guns?
For those of you who are going to be shooting at the tin can or trap ranges be sure to bring you sunscreen. Was up to the range today and the sun was shining brightley.Should be the same weather for the weekend. The pistol and 50-100 yard ranges are covered.

Sven are you going to bring your M1 carbine to the shoot? I will bring along my brass catcher so you can try.

pipsqueak- they have ammo and targets for sale at the range, but bring your own if you have them. I order all my targets online from Alco Targets. Much cheaper than buying at the range: usually $8.00 per 100 as opposed to $.50 each.
Anyone bringing a portable bbq? If not it's finger food all around. I'm in for sodas and whatever else I can scrounge out of the fridge.
Sven- that's a go on the garand and M1A; I just need to pull the scope off it- new mount and I havn't had time to zero it. I've got plenty of .308 for both (the tanker has been re-barreled to .308).
I plan on being there earlier this time, around 930 or so.
Hey all NorCali THR shooters! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Thanks - I will bring the M1 Carbine... looking forward to the shoot. 45R and I will be there by 9AM.
$10 to shoot all day - tough to beat that deal unless you have your own land!
Here's what I look like - grab me and identify yourself at the range:

Is anyone going to bring a grill? If you are I can bring some burgers and buns (maybe some hot links and potato chips too).
Labrat told me you guys were putting another shoot together, but I hadn't looked for the thread yet. So now I see it.
We think we'll be there, but it would be a lot more fun if some socializing afterwards was on the itinerary- everyone split so quickly last time, and talking on the firing line isn't very practical for obvious reasons.

Well, I had grandiose plans to attend come heck or high water.
Disfortunately, some criminal decided that I was no longer a deserving soul, and cramped my life in a rather fundamental way.
To wit, my car was stolen 2 weeks ago.
Now I am without wheels, an income, a job, or a bank account.
This circumstance has had me in a rather murderous state of mind, hence my lack of posts lately.
Hard to be civil when you want to commit slaughter.
At least I still have a nice gun collection, but I may have to compromise a Primary Collecting Rule: Sell Nothing! :banghead:
Still got my hardware, (No guns in the car, thank goodness.) and a rent-free roof, but I am reduced to footitude.
Only losers ride the bus. Looks like I lost. Don't even have a friggin' picture to remember the most beat-to-crap Porsche 928 to have blood, sweat and tears imbued into it to keep it going. I was going so far as to manaufacture my own parts due to expense/lack of availability.
Some days I wonder why I even make the effort. Doesn't seem to pay to so much as get out of bed, lately.
I always knew before, but I hate rub-your-nose-in-it reminders.
Life SUCKS!

I too will not be attending, courtesy of a 70 year old lady that ran the stop sign at the bottom of an off ramp and wasted the whole drivers side of my work truck. Needless to say this left me in intense pain from some bruised ribs and other sprains.
I'll have to make the next one--Rob

Great to meet you all!
Hey all! I finally registered!
It was great to hang out with the HighRoad crew and shoot some awesome pistols and rifles. Can't wait for the next shoot.
A special thanks to Sven for organizing, and to Quarterbore, Pipsqueak and Mr. and Mrs. MadKiwi for the shooting fun.
I too can feel the pain of some of the others in the area. I bought a 91 Mustang GT, sold my truck, and a week later a lady runs a red light and t-bones me and totals my car. The next week I got laid off! Ouch! :banghead:
I have a great bunch of friends that have been helping me through the hard times though.
