Question about clays: We can buy them at the range the day of, correct?

Yep. $11.00/135 biodegradable, CR approved.

Perfect - thanks

Photography is covered.

 

I'll bring mine as well. I don't have the Lenses Ken has, but I'll get some shots as well.

 

Curious which remote you use Ken. I've got the cheesy IR one but I'd like a RF one.

[Caine 147]

I was gonna bring my camera as well (mostly as an excuse to use it since it sits in a camera bag 98% of the time), but will probably skip it since there will be at least another 2. Maybe I'll get fancy and bring a pocket HD video camera instead

Most of the cheapo eBay remotes are pretty much the same, but I think this is the one I have.

Cool. Video would be nice.

 

Has anyone heard from Chad? He's been sort of absent. Hope everything is okay.

[djg0770 481]

Mark,

 

Can you bring 'the sign' and post a pic of it again so everyone knows what to looky for?

[njpilot 671]

I believe Chad is ok, just very busy right now. As far as I know he is still coming, but can't say for sure.

[matt6669 71]

Sounds like there will be plenty of ammo going around. Saturday I'm gonna head to Dick's again and pick up another two boxes I believe so I will have a supply handy so if anyone needs any, I think it works out to be like 4.50 per box

 

Clays can be bought at the range for 11 bucks per 135 you really can't beat that price unless you go somewhere and buy 10 at a time, so CR gets my buisness from now on. I'm not really worried about a clay shortage it sounds like mostly everyone is bringing a box, I have one box left that I am going to bring with me as well.

 

Depending on how many people actually show up will decide how many pizzas. But if 15 people show up, and each person eats two slices thats 4 pies. I ate more than two slices and I hope we have more than 15 people but if people can start to chime in if they are going to eat pizza and how many slices we should be able to get a decent count on how many pies. I'm also thinking that we should have the pies delivered or picked up at around 2ish since thats past lunch time, we'll be hungry, get it outta the way, then blow up some clays on a nice fat stomache. I'll pick up the pizzas, anyone that wants to throw a couple bucks in may, but not a big deal.

 

Mark, don't worry bout the clays, you got last time, thats me repaying you. No worries dude!

Well, a debt is a debt. I'll be giving you $11 anyway.

 

As for the Pizzas, I think we need to solicit something from everyone. At least $5. 5 Pizzas is probably going to be 60 bucks or so. Add in some sodas, it starts to turn into real money.

[kenw 293]

If everyone throws in 5 or 6 bucks for lunch, and the same for clays, we should be good to go. That way, no one is on the hook for too much. We should probably get some extra pizza and invite the range guys to join in on the feast. It's cheap goodwill building, and a little goodwill goes a long way.

[Caine 147]

Excellent idea Ken

I will pick up soda.....

 

I have 1 cooler..... might need another..

I agree !

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Is there room for my friend? He's not a member of CR and would be traveling with me. I'm arriving at around 10 am.

[matt6669 71]

room for as many as you want!!

 

Only thing is, I don't think any CR members are arriving at 10, I think most of us are getting there at 11.

Then 11 it is. So I'll bring my friend. He's got a couple of shotty's but their both short barrels for HD. Can he shoot them elsewhere?

[matt6669 71]

he can shoot his shotguns at the 50/100 yard rifle range, but no buckshot anywhere on the premises and only shotshell at the skeet range. AKA he can only shoot slugs at the rifle range. Also whoever signs him in, he has to hang out with all day, he can't go off on his own, just as a heads up

I'll let him know and let you know tomorrow Matt. I'll send you a PM at lunch time.

[matt6669 71]

sounds good Ray Ray!!!

 

Can't wait to see everyone

[tbtrout 141]

Just tell me how much money to bring.

 

Matt it is nice of you to offer to cover the pies, but we should all kick in for it and soda.

 

I am looking forward to Sunday. Any alternative plans if the weather craps out?

The alternate plan is to still go shooting

 

All of our ranges are covered minus the silhouette range so not that big of a deal.

 

But if its really bad, we could definitely think of something on the fly.

 

Also if you are coming to this lovely shindig we are having, can you please pm me your phone numbers and I will reply with my own, that way if anyone gets lost or what not we can get in contact with you.

You can probably take Jordan off the list. It's not looking like he'll be coming, but if his plans change and he shows up, I'll cover his lunch/clay costs. Still don't know for sure about my other 2 maybes.

[Malsua 1,422]

I just got informed that I'm leaving for Germany Sunday night.(work trip)

 

Not sure what that means for the shoot, but the car service probably won't be coming until later in the evening so I should be able to shoot without issues.

 

Of all the days..lol.

[matt6669 71]

Hey atleast its not coming saturday night and then you have NO hope haha

It's almost October - where are you going?? 8-) Trinkt, trinkt, bruderlein trinkt...

[kenw 293]

Mark,

 

Glad you'll be able to make it. Do you always get that kind of short notice before these trips, or is this an exception?

 

On another subject, is anyone bringing a CZ75 or 85? If so, I'd like to give it a try. I'm still on the fence between it and the Beretta. I've shot the 92FS, but have only ever fondled the CZ.

It happens. Usually when there's a brewing issue and there is. We're opening a factory in Saarbrucken and the brown stuff is hovered over the rotating blades. The lasers we've sent aren't working properly...mostly operator inexperience.
