    You loved it, and you know it. Did you ever get a round down range of the 50 BMG? Next time I'll make it up to you, free shots, 5 rounds. But I want to try some of those guns you had too.

    Now your talkin:D:D

    It was great meeting so many of you guys. Thanks to Novus for letting me try his conversion cylinder for my charcoal burner and for letting me have a go at his 9mm CZ, Corsica coating for handing me his suppressed .22, the guy with the weightless .357 for letting me bruise my hand with it, and everyone else who let me shoot their cool stuff. As a noob to this group, I am so impressed by what a fine group of people you all are and most of all how safe I felt leaving my guns and walking around to gawk, and the high safety conditions in general. The best part for me was, however, when they called a cease fire so I could take a solo with my New Army revolver. What a welcome for a new guy! See ya'll next time.

    How could I forget.... Thanks a ton for letting me shoot the M&P45 DD! I definitely want to try the 9 when you get it! I think that's going to be my next handgun!

    You shoulda said something dude, the 9 is the one I was carrying and you certainly were welcome to shoot it.

    Not the topic of the quote, but thanks a bunch for helping me with my M1A. I would have never noticed the bolt and roller issue without your experienced eye. I guess it gets to take a trip back to Springfield now. :sad20:

    Well i just got home myself!!!

    Glad i didnt make it down to the shoot today!!! Wife started to have contractions at 130pm. By 5 pm they were within 5 min of each other and by 8:55 we had another addition to the family!

    I could imagine DR.Zeke uncovering the old Mardela Springs hospital chair and stirrups from the back.

    Both are healthy, (8lb 11 oz ) I dont mind seeing the after birth and blood and seeing a watermelon come out of hole the size of a lemon. But i did almost pass out from seeing them give her the ephideral. They use some HUGE needles.

    Well im off for the week playing mr. mom.

    Congratulations! Now go here and take care of business -> http://www.crickett.com

    Seriously though, I'm glad everything is okay. I didn't even know you guys were due. I've been through three, and I know that it is never a fun time. In my case I've never seen "a watermelon come out of hole the size of a lemon" as all three were C-Section. I just got to see my wifes innards splayed out on the table. Boy or girl?

    Congratulations on the baby, I wish I could have been at the shoot also but I am still dealing with my Grandmother being sick, and I took my Aunt back to Pittsburgh yesterday. Glad everyone had a good time.

    Apparently someone dodged a bullet...literally. Whatever this was must have ricocheted off of one of the steel plates and landed in the bed of my truck. (Unless someone picked it up and put it there.

    D'oh.....that would have left a mark.
    :eek:

    We're a full service operation :D

    I was in total sympathy with you on that deal.....nothing like spending 5 minutes loading a BP pistol and then finding out that the ceasefire just got called.

    I'm amazed at how many people I didn't get a chance to really talk with or meet yesterday. I'll have to work on that for the next shoot.

    Congratulation armedsks!

    I wish I could have attended the Shoot. It looks like it was way too much fun. Unfortunately, the rescheduled NRA Range Safety Officer certification course was yesterday at AAF&G. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

    I’ll definitely be at the next one, with RSO cert in hand, to help as well as enjoy the toys (mine and yours :party29: ).
