GLOCKTOBERFEST! Post event Wrap-up with pictures

GlocktoberFest

Our much anticipated event, GlocktoberFest, went off with only the most minor of hitches. It was wet and drizzly at times, but we didn't get the heavy rain that was predicted. We had 11 HAT Chapter FReepers in attendance, 2 out of town FReepers as well as 2 guests. Lodwick gets the award for the longest trek [Austin] and Bigun followed with a close second [Huntsville]. The HAT folks that were there are Flyer, RikaStrom, Humblegunner, BobbyD, Eaker, Dix, COB1, EastForker and Missus Eastie, PetroniDE and Retired AF Warrior.

The weapons present included a .300 Winchester, 2 SKS's, 3 Glock .40's, a Sig Sauer .40, a S&W 9mm, 22 magnum Winchester lever action, .357 Ruger, H&K SLB-1, several .22 target pistols, a Sig 228, a CZ 75b and others. The individual gun owners are encouraged to talk about their guns for clarity.

I can't even guess at the number of rounds that were fired. Let's just say A LOT! It was a priceless opportunity to fire a wide variety of weapons at a single outing.

Post-range we retired to the home of our gracious hostess, RikaStrom. The intermittent rain moved our plans from her backyard into the garage. We mixed casual conversation, political talk and great food. The menu include brisket, Elgin sausage, shrimp, potato salad, chips, dips, sodas and beer. A big Texas thanks to all that participated and volunteered with food and supplies to help make this a success.

After our guests and out of town FReepers left we also conducted Chapter business, as this event was in lieu of our regular monthly meeting.

It has been suggested that we not wait another year and instead schedule an event in the spring. In the spirit of COB1 and Eaker we may call it. . . Springfield Break!

It's a mutt, although it's mostly black lab. She's limping around stupid and happy today. The door, however, is a patch of cardboard and duct tape, until a replacement arrives sometime this week.

The worst part is if the dog had gotten to that person, she probably would have licked them to death. Grrrrrrr.

I believe that is Eastforker's gun. I'm not sure so we will let him answer.

I've pinged the whole of Planet Earth to see these pictures of a bunch of right wing gun fanatics who happen to believe in the Second Amendment to the Constitution!
And here's one more of the pigging out part:

I had already looked at your pictures & they are GREAT! I know you all had a good time. My son almost joined you, he is a Glockoholic. Next time maybe.

I like the Ruger MkII pistols. Very easy to customize. My wife and I have a few different models. All have Clark triggers installed. I purchased a 678GC one evening to participate in a bullseye match. That gun produced at 97 point target at 25 yards with the first 10 rounds fired. The next 40 rounds produced 313 points for the actual match. The real match included 15 second time limits for 10 rounds at 15 yards and alternating 10 rounds between two targets at 10 yards in 10 seconds.
