Hi all! I want to organize a southern maine shoot some weekend in late September/early October.

I have a good gravel pit to go to, lots of space, lots of targets of opportunity, and pretty easy to get to as long as the snow doesn't fall. :)

Anyone interested? WE could have a BBQ at my place afterwards (I'm close by).

I'm interested (as long as it's not on a Sunday). Are you the Jamz on NEShooters?

Can I transport handguns to Maine from Mass? I have an unrestricted MA LTC but not a Maine LTC.
 
Same jamz as on NEShooters, yeah- I'm bummed I messed the chance to blow up that car with a machine gun. :( So I'll make it up by having a multi-site gathering of my own. :)

I was going to post it in NES once I settle on a date.

No problems bringing stuff from MA, we like guns up here. :D
 
jamz-

I am here to answer your prayers. I have a (legal) machine gun, and lots of Tannerite.

You tell me when the shoot is and I will be there with both, and a whole bunch of other toys.

No joke.


:D
 
just signed up

Now this sounds like a good reason for me to get off my posterior and finally join this group. That is of course if you don't mind hanging out with a half crippled 30something with guns.:D
 
Exposure: Oh my goodness. :D

What caliber, so we can supply the ammo? :D

Fanof357: Welcome to THR! It's a great group, I'm sure you will fit right in. :)
 
I'm in! Need a zip code and town for the 5320's got a few subguns to bring.
 
Depending on when and where, I might be able to pop my face in. Keep us posted on this please.
 
jamz-

.45 ACP would be the caliber. Winchester white box would be the best choice. Wish I could tell you I had a Thompson or a Grease Gun but it is only a Reising. Still fun though!

Something to think about, gezzer has offered to come with a few (!!! :D ) subguns and I would be bringing one as well. I was also hoping to bring some Tannerite. Will the pit owner be open to this?

Tannerite booms and automatic weapons fire can attract A LOT of attention in a hurry.

If the range owner is cool with it then a call to the local P.D. a couple of days before the shoot can really help to alleviate any ugly interruptions.

Just giving some insight from previous shoots I have been to.
 
I'm in. I just moved to Rochester, NH and I'm looking for a place to shoot. Might as well go to Maine as it's so close.

I don't have any NFA toys, yet, but I'll bring what I can.
 
Exposure, that's a fine idea. Last shoot out there they had some full auto weapons and tannerite, the cops showed up to see what all the noise was about, and they said "Have fun, be safe!" and left.

Good call to phone them in advance (and invite them too! :D )

I don't know whe owns the pit, but due to the lack of reaction a few weeks ago I don't think it would be a problem.

One thing I like to do when I'm there is take a small bag and carry some trash out- if everyone could fill up a shopping bag of (non-targetworthy) plastic to carry out in addition to what they bring in, that would be great.
 
jamz-

Sounds like you are ready then!

Let me know when you want to do this. The last organized shoot I attended was when I lived in Charlotte, NC and I met up with a fine bunch of folks from sksboards.com, I am anxious to do it again!

Is there anything I can do to help out? Want me to bring my gas grill? I am a self proclaimed gas grill genious! Seriously, I can cook a pretty mean burger for everyone should they be interested!
 
How does OCt 7 work for everyone? It's a saturday.

Exposure, if this gets to be too big I won't be able to afford food for everyone, etc so I might ask people to bring stuff. :)

Your grill would be great! I'm only a mediocre griller myself, so the more qualified help, the better!
 
coyote_jr...

Where do you shoot in RI? Do you shoot at the warwick police range, AFS, or Sayles Hill? I went to school in Prov and really liked it up there. now I am banished to the peoples republik of new jersey.
 
Egads, so it is. I don't want to leave it until too late, weather being what it is up here, and I am jammed up for most all of september. Hmmm... well, the NES guys just got done with a shoot in Standish, maybe they don't want to go back just yet! :p


This is going to be in Standish, ME. I think the zip code is 04084.
 
Can't commit to anything since it's all dependand on the wife's shedule but with enuff notice she can get that altered (the perks of mgmt). standish is but a short distance away so given the availability, I'll proberly show. Got pretty poor grilling skills though sorry. Can possibly coerce the Mrs to whip something up though if'n I can attend.
 
So is it on for OCT 7th or not? Do you guys in Maine have enough time to go to both shoots? Also does anyone have a target stand?
 
OCT 7 it is.

Don't want to leave it for later than that, or the BBQ might be a might- chilly.

it will be in Standish, ME in the gravel pit off Middle road- I'm thinking we can meet up at the Hannaford Supermarket on Rt 25 which is only a few miles from the pit.

If everyone could bring targets, that would be great- biodegradable stuff is good, or at least stuff that is easy to carry out. I feel the need to destroy some computer equipment, so I'll bring that, I have an old real estate sign, which works well as a target holder, and I'll be bringing many many apples to blow up.

I'd like to leave the place slightly cleaner than we found it, so let's make sure that whatever we bring in, we bring out, target-wise. I'll bring some small shopping bags to fill up with other people's junk too - I like to take away the plastics and non-biodegradables.
 
Jamz-

Count me in for sure!

What time should we meet up?

I am about 130 miles or so away so it's kind of a hike for me.

Subguns and Tannerite are definitely okay?

Let me know, and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help out with the organization!
 
excellent!

This will give me a chance to try those ak tracer rounds.

Also I have a couple boxes of .32acp .380 30-30, 30-06. 7.62x54 that I'll share/give away becuase I dont have the guns they fit.
