As we approach the weekend, anyone who RSVP's and confirms their attendance via PM, (I'll issue a statement closer to the date) will recieve a map they can print out. Don't worry, we're not in a top secret testing facility, once you know how to get there, it's easy to find.
 
I would LOVE to come with 1 other BUT a question first.

What ranges should shots be expected to be at? Me and buddy are still new shooters and not a great at LONG range shots. We both probably will only still have .22 rifles and a shotgun as being a student makes it hard to get extra $ for more toys and the rifles we have are are nothing amazing.....2 10/22 carbines and 1 cooey 600. Will this worked if we throw a scope on em or should I try to save up for something with a bit more range too it? Thanks
 
Ranges can be at several hundre yards to in your face, stopping a charging gopher with the intent to kill on his mind. You'll be well served with a .22, it's usually all I shoot. There's enough room to wander and pick off critters as you see them, or if you do bring a long range rifle, lot's of critters way out there too. My suggestion is to bring what you have, but stock up on ammo, booze and camping gear.

(Don't forget gas money)
 
they range from right at your feet to as far as you want. after dropping my .223 twice last time and buggering the scope, i did the rest with .22LR. walked a area probably 300mx300m for 2 hours, constantly killing everyone i saw, and it didn't make a dent in the population. bring more then a few bricks, i bring at least 1000 rnds centerfire, 5000 rnds rimfire 1000 .17. you'll do just fine with that 10/22. slap a varmint barrel on it and take em out to 100 yds!

so very excited!
 
Of course the hookers are half eaten dead ones!! Nothing but the best for this group!!


Bring guns...lots of guns...and ammo...lots of ammo...and booze...lots of booze...and your parka :D
 
good, i can ever finish a full one.

i've decided to bring my camper after all, to hell with gas prices. i think those of us with trailers should petition your cousin to have an electrical hookup run down from the house. or pay him off in booze. glorious, glorious, wonderful booze.
