Murphy over at Lagniappe’s Lair has found us a range that will host a shoot on 3 Dec, it’s over in WV, but still within driving distance for most of us…
I’ve been working on the idea for a local blog shoot for some time with a few other gun blogger stalwarts–Old NFO, Keadsand Proud Hillbilly to name three–and I just cinched exclusive use of a pretty decent new range in, of all places, Berkley County, WV on Saturday, Dec. 3rd. So if you’re a local gunny or even one who lives a ways a way and feels like a road trip, here’s your chance to come join with some other great gun folks and get some shooting in, hopefully followed by some decent eating, drinking and socializing.
Exact times are still being worked out, but the range will be open for use by all with handguns, rifles and shotguns, to include some five-stand shotgun shooting for those interested. Right now, I’m putting together a rough count of those expected to attend, so if you’re interested, please shoot Murphy and me an e-mail at [email protected]. I can’t promise that Murphy’ll be there, but I will be, and so far, the above-mentioned celebrity bloggers are expected as well.
Let me know how many you’ll be bringing and what type of firearms that you’re planning to shoot. Anything but full-auto is ok. (Drat! No M60!) When I get your e-mail, I’ll send you all of the info about the shoot, including directions, as they become finalized. Some ammo will be available for purchase at the range but your own is also welcome. And yes, WV is concealed-carry friendly but check to ensure that your own state has reciprocity before coming down.
If you’re a reader of this blog or those above and a shooter, you’re definitely welcome to come.
Donations will be accepted to cover the range fees, and anything collected in excess will be donated to Wounded Warriors.
Let’s get together and have some fun!!!
Hope to see you there.
I won’t be there! I hope you make this a regular thing.
I hope to be there and for someof us it is going “up”!
Sounds like fun~ I have a charity event that I signed up to help out with.
Hope everyone has a Great time. Who am I kidding you all know you will 🙂
Any way you could do two birds with one stone and hold the blogshoot at either Occupy DC or Occupy Wall Street?
I’d be there with bells on.
–AOA
I’m loving AOA’s idea. Let me think on that one.
The rest of you, come on–let’s do this.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Anytime you can turn money into smoke and noise is a good day!
But that’s an Appleseed Project weekend in Richmond (Black Creek)! Please make it a regular event. As a lurker who reads you daily, I would love the chance to meet you.
Stacie
Darn! Exactly what “Stacie” said and for the exact same reasons! Committed to Appleseed that weekend.
Uh, I’m checking with the Wife, and MapQuesting the Route. Let you know soon.
Do you know if there a minimum age for this range? Our “local” one won’t let anyone under 7 shoot.
We would come if I hadn’t committed the kids & myself to a Robert Toombs reenactment here at home.
I’ll echo other sentiments- make it regular and have lots of fun!
Wife said YES! See you soon!
Andy- Looking forward to it.
Danny- Sorry, maybe the next one
Keads- Yeah, yeah 🙂
SS- Thanks
AOA- Tempting… reactive targets 🙂
Murph- Ain’t it though…
FM- True
Stacie- We will do it again, thanks for reading
45- understood
Les- come on down 🙂
Nancy- Dump that question to Murphy at his email on his post, I don’t have an answer.
Snigs- Understood
Les- YEA!
I’ll be working, or I’d make the road trip – hope you guys have so much fun it’s hardly legal!
T-Bolt and I are planning to go!
