I got a memo from the sun that said it was sleeping in on Saturday.

Aw, dang! But you’ll probably have it for next year, huh. Meantime, there will be plenty of other stuff that you can use. You might like my PS90.

I might have missed this upthread. Are there any particular range rules, etc. we need to know before we go?

Correcting the address of Alice Faye’s - it is 910 North Fulton Beach Road, Fulton, TX. A big thanks to TheOldLady’s husband for finding this error.

Hello dear friends. How exciting your plans sound .. I do wish I could be part of it this year but between $$$, health & logistics, well, it wont work this year. I hope you all have safe trips and a wonderful time together, socializing, eating, drinking & of course shooting the bull as well as guns! I will miss doing the photography this year. I am much better at shooting a camera than a gun as it turns out. Y’all stay out of trouble now! Much love from Ohio

Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Wish I could join y’all this time, but I’ll have to wait until the next one closer to Dallas.

It seems that this one is just “A Bridge Too Far”, LOL.

Hate that you can’t make it, Dolly, and especially that you aren’t feeling well. Take care of you so you can feel like coming next year!

(start saving your pennies now! :) )

What a shame - we’ll miss The Rumble between Bill O’Oreilly and Jon Stewart on Saturday night.

Heh.

We could stream it from some one’s computer & play a drinking game when key words or phrases are used. ;-)

LOL.

I was thinking of something more mundane like:
fmj or not
maximum shot size
bazookas ok.

How about Shermans?

Pretty please, will you cook for the next shoot?

That was nice enough. I will cook for 2013 TC shoot. I will really miss "you-all" this year.

"Humble Gunner" needs to do a new video of Achmed the Terrorist. The one he did a few years ago was absolutely insanely funny and Mr. Mom Eaker was great also.

"You-All" have a great time and take a lot of pics and post them on Free Republic. I will see you in 2013 with my BBQ pit and a few things that go bang.

Have a good time.

After we swapped, neither of us ever jammed or stove-piped again. Don’t ask me. I can’t explain it.

A semi-auto pistol chambers the next round from recoil. If you do not keep a firm grip on the stock of the pistol, some of the energy of the recoil will be expended in moving the pistol in an upward direction. A firm grip will give better feeding for the next round.

Thanks! Lost my iron-fisted biker grip quite a while ago, but there’s no reason I can’t dig out my grip-exercising thingies again.

Leave your anti-aircraft and flak guns at home. There’s an airport nearby and they fown on that sort of thing.

One week to the shoot ping!

I spoke with Mr. Schewnske this morning. He has reserved the 25 yard station for our use ~ we can shoot at any of the other stations, but that one will be our “home base”. He said tannerite is acceptable, but in really small doses (like match book size). The price has changed to $15.00/person. Instead of each individual signing a waiver, I will prepare one that all of us can sign.

The BBQ order has been placed, lunch will be ready at 12:30ish. On the menu is brisket, sausage, potato salad, cole slaw and pinto beans.

Recap: For those arriving Thursday, the only thing on the schedule is to chow down on enchilada’s! Friday is tourist day, Friday evening we meet at Capt’n Benny’s at 8:00 p.m. for a fabulous seafood dinner. Saturday morning we meet at Alice Faye’s at 8:00 a.m. for a hearty breakfast, then it is off to the range to shoot tons-o-guns. Lunch will be at the range at 12:30ish. Saturday afternoon is for going to the Seafair or taking a nap. I have no clue what we are eating Saturday night ~ I’m thinking we could snack on appetizers what drinking margaritas!

Looking forward to seeing everyone.
