MD Shooters Day at Delmarva Sporting Clays - April 19th

[sleev-les]

Final head counts are turned in. Between here and the people that I'm bringing, we have 50. I'm sure a few last minute stragglers may come and that is okay as well. Looking forward to the 19th..

Also, if you are planning on bringing targets like watermelons, grapefruit, cantaloupes etc it is okay as long as you clean up after yourself.

Got about another 90 rounds of .50Beo to load up, then that's (finally) taken care of.

Gives me 2 weeks to get some more .223 and .45ACP rolled out. Plenty of time.

 

[sleev-les]

This Friday I'm going to order some more ammo for the Barrett. Got some cinder blocks to shoot the 50 at and going to be bringing some dye water bottles for some targets too. I'm going to be at the range around 830. They will have a couple RSO's there. It will be up to us to keep an eye out as well. I mentioned you and I would lend a hand if needed to make sure everyone is safe when the range is cold... Its going to be a fun day.

Definitely looking forward to it.

Kinda wish I didn't have the brake on the thumper now, it's no 50BMG, but before the brake it'd definitely ring your bell some on a covered firing line.

I got some steel I'm going to bring with me, nothing too large, but it's 1/2" thick plow blade steel, should take some abuse before giving up the ghost.

 

[Mr H]

Turns out I won't be able to get there, but.....

If someone wants to come do the pickup and hauling, I have a 1950s concrete-and-steel double sink that should take quite a bit of abuse, and serve as a bottle stand as well.

I need this thing out of the house, and this is as noble a death as I can imagine for it. I'll provide the hand truck, and as much oomph as I can, but it will take 3 people to move, at least.

Otherwise, I will have to take a sledge to it in the house, and that won't be pretty.

Any evening this week is good, or W-T-F evening next week.

Thanks for the offer H, but I won't be able to get the sink.. Maybe someone will jump on this ..... Good point though.. I need to do something for the bottles lol

I've never been there. What kinds of targets are allowed?

of course paper
steel
bowling pins
cinder blocks
fruit (you will be responsible for cleanup)
clays (i usually toss them on the berms)
water bottles (planning on putting some dyed water in them)


They are pretty open as long as you clean up any mess you make.

 

[Vile Shadow]

Got room at this party for one more?

Hopefully I will be able to make it, lots of members I would like to meet and several I'd like to avoid.

Frozen water jugs make better targets and they last a lot longer. Different color food dye makes it even better. I have several in my freezer that I will bring.

Step 1: Mount go pro to barrett .50 or .338.
Step 2: Enjoy!

Already ahead of you on that one... The thought has more than once crossed my mind.

Anyone bringing name tags?

Just reminding everyone about the sink. Should blow chunks and dust real nice from high powers.

Available for pickup W-T-F evenings next week. My vehicle won't handle it.

And, the more I think about it, the more I need to go!!! Count me back in, please.

I'll just want some help sighting in a couple toys.

If you two want to meet at my place at 0600 or so, gas and tire wear is on me.

Good idea.... Let me see what I can find at Office Depot or Staples.. They should have something

H, if this thing is as big as you say, how do we get it down range? lol I'd put it in my truck, but the bed will be full of guns
