Its on like Genghis Khan wearing Sean John in Bhutan.

 

Personally, I am hoping for frozen ground rather than a mud pit from melted snow.

 

Thanks to your rhyme, I now know how to pronounce Bhutan. I have read it, but never heard it said aloud. Now I can avoid opening my mough and saying something stupid. So Thanks! :)

Ha, thanks Ed Helms and The Office, Chris :icon_razz:

 

I just remember when the ground was frozen that it was possible to dig any new holes in the ground for targets. Add in the fact that there always seems to be a wind that blows through, I just think it would be convenient if the ground wasn't completely frozen :icon_mrgreen:

Oh man, Ben is comin! and Chris! and Jack! and TJ! and Eddie!

 

 

ETA: Too bad the Friday weather won't be rolling into the weekend much. With that said, has anybody been there in the past week? Is the ground still frozen solid? Or has the warmer weather made it one big mud/sand pit? Not much fun when I went a few weeks ago for that very reason (the ground was frozen).

 

I was there today. The ground was actually pretty soft. I was expecting it to be a pain, so I took my own shovel. It was actually the easiest to post a target then any other time I have been there. Not muddy, not frozen. Maybe I just got lucky and the lane I was shooting on had good ground. It seems to be hit or miss how hard or soft the ground is, sand/dirt or hard clay, and whatnot.

 

Today was beautiful to shoot. About 50 degrees, a very slight right to left breeze for a bit, but otherwise calm. I got to (partially) sight in a new scope (wasn't able to shoot much this past 2 months, so had to mess with my firearms somehow!), got in some pistol practice. Only 2 other people there...I wish is was like that every time!

 

I'm actually pretty upset all you guys are going this weekend. This will be my first weekend in over 2 months with a chance for me to shoot, and now you guys are going to fill up the place!

 

Depending on how hungover I am, I'm going to try and make it both Saturday and Sunday, but that probably won't happen. :(

 

Forecast calls for mid 40's, windy on Saturday, calm with slight chance of rain on Sunday. I wish it would be like Fridays predicted weather or mid-upper 50's! Correction, low-mid-60's on Friday!

is dix open on friday again yet?

 

Isn't that in April?

 

And yea, I would've actually gone today if I didn't have exams starting tomorrow... albeit studying is for suckers :icon_cool:

I plan on coming but it looks like the OT gods are calling.

 

I have to put some major OT in over the weekend, so I'm not sure how it will play out yet. Going in Saturday morning and might not get home till Sunday sometime.

I'm going, Will be bring the Marlin 1894C 357, the HK45 and the 1911. If anyone wants to shoot the CZ75b Single Action let me know and ill bring it.

 

Are you still allowed to shoot produce and soda cans? Would love to bring a case of soda and some potatoes. :icon_twisted:

I'm down for a stopover on the way to CJRPC... see you guys @ 8

Looks like I'll be making my way down to Dix for this as well. See you all there

So, time confirmed? I know that we're not all planning on meeting up collectively as as group, but for those who are-- what time have we decided on?

Unless I hit traffic or something I'm planning to be there by 7:45ish. I think it makes sense to be there a bit before 8 on the off chance a lot of people have the same idea as us and the place fills up - seems unlikely since the weather is gonna be in the low to mid 40s... but why risk it.

8am, parking lot

 

If your there early enough park off to the side so we know were to go. Although I know most everyone going, if anyone new show's up they'll know were to go.

7:30-7:45am is better. It ensures you have a lane.

Alright, I'll see you guys on Sunday morning, bright and early.

Tomorrow is supposed to be windy, so I am leaving the guns that shoot tiny&light bullets home (i.e. .17, .22 and .204).

I am bringing my Saiga-12 shottie, my PTR32 and Chinese SKS Paratrooper (7.62x39), but I have room to bring another rifle.

Any requests?

I'm coming a little later in the morning, maybe 11 or 12. Photos are being taken in and around my house for the sale. I'll text a member when I'm outside.

Got everything packed - I have a surprising lack of grocery items to shoot at, so looks like I'll have to settle for paper targets.

See you all in the A.M.... hopefully the winds will have died down a bit by then

I hope those winds are a little calmer Sunday. I want to put my shots on paper at 200 yards. :)

About to start packing up the car. I'll try and be there with the early crowd (7:30ish). And agreed, it'll be nice if the wind opts to cease for tomorrow.

Wasn't too bad, was cold as F**k tho.. JimmyAGR and I stayed for a few hours and then hit Central Jersey for an hr or so, bit warmer there, less wind... Bry@n made an appearance.

 

Shot steel out to 300yd today with my .308, it was fun. <- Thanks for that, Jimmy...

 

Good to see everyone...

Just got back. Turned out much better later on. Became warmer and less windy. Was empty when we got there, but packed with all lanes going around 12 noon and on.

 

Was great seeing everyone, was this the first outdoor meetup of the year?

plenty of AR action too.

Was great meeting lots of people today. Was a bit chilly early on :). Looking forward to shooting with you guys again. Don no problem with the steel. Beats paper every time!

cool to see Jimmy and Don. That 300 yard steel is awesome. Thanks for the info Jimmy.
