MDS Meet n' Greet...

[FreeState]

It seems that lots of MDS members are friends online, but they have not had much chance to meet in person. FreeState would like to offer our facility to MDS members to meet each other. The Meet n' Greet will be held on May 19th. Come anytime between 6PM and 10PM. We will serve hotdogs, sodas and chips. Hang out, talk gun stuff or whatever.

Directions to Frees State Gun Range from I95: I95 north or south, take exit 67, White Marsh Exit (Route 43 East). Take Route 43 East approximately 2 miles to Crossroads Circle. Look to the right for the big Arbors Construction Site and the big, yellow Shuster crane. Turn right (south) on Crossroads Circle, go through and past the construction to the last and only building, turn right into the parking lot and go to the end of the building. Look for the mdshooters flag. Call 410-335-5100 if you get lost.

If the weather is funky, I'll be there (family crap permitting).

If it looks dry-ish, though, I have other primary plans.

Gonna try to make it up. Depends on work. Would be nice to see your range and meet some of the people on here.

[Warpspasm]

Wow, that would be a good night! Getting lucky AND winning a door prize!

 

[Mr H]

Not going to make it after all...

This weather is wreaking havoc with my sinuses today.

 

[lotofpez]

How did the meet and great go. While you guys were at a range I was sitting in a locomotive in cumberland reading posts.

 

[falconguy]

I forgot all about it. I got into helping a friend work on his car.

Had a good time chatting with Les Gawlik and his friend Walker, Randy's wife Xuan (probably spelled that wrong) is always charming, and generally hanging out with the crew is just plain fun. Once there's some sofas and easy chairs, a pool table, tables in the snack bar, etc., it's going to get harder and harder to leave. I put a few more rounds through the Randall and gave Bob an old blued magazine because it caused three jams, he tossed it in the parts box.

Would have been nice to have more people there but I guess the weather might have been a factor. Wimps.

Just had an idea: I bet we have some good cooks in the membership, maybe we could do a covered dish thing sometime? Tell everyone to show up hungry and try out some real home cooking.

Let's hear your ideas, people! Hope to see more of you there, too!

It seems like every time there is some thing going on, I'm either at the docs or dealing with the after effects from doc visit. Today after sitting in the room for four hours, they came in and wrapped both my legs in these soft cast type things going from right below my toes to the bottom of my knees. I think they used a come-along to get it tight as they wanted. So, I sat at home in pain. That's why I couldn't make it. Oh well, maybe next time..I want to get down there and miss some Bowling Pins. Whens the next match Randy??? Do it on a Friday man. I go to the docs like every Tues, and Thurs.

 

[TyFromMD]

I think everyone should wear name tags next time so I know who all of you are.

 

[Les Gawlik]

I thought it was great! Any time there's free food, count me in!

Right before the Meet 'n Greet, my Slide Fire stock came in the mail. It takes about 3 minutes of serious work to put in on.

I think it's terrific. It's the closest thing to a FA rifle I'll ever own. It's very controllable. It is easy to squeeze off short bursts. With a little practice, you can get select the number of rounds you want.

The only downside is that I can see my supply of .223 will quickly dwindle to nothingness. A minor downside -- anything that is not really nailed down will quickly fall off your rifle. I need to have a serious session with red Locktite.

Walker won the Mag Lite door prize, one of several. It looks like a nice piece.

What a great group we have here at MDS, and at Freestate. Freestate is great fun now, and its potential is fantastic.

I got there early and shot before the meet up. The new shelves for range bag storage are awesome! I also challenged Randy for Most Hotdogs eaten, but I think he probably reclaimed the title after I left.

 

[wlc]

damm - missed it
Really need to hold something like this on a weekend afternoon

 

[Les Gawlik]

I suspect this event will be repeated, and at different times and different days of the week. Most people have a set weekly schedule, and it's not possible to find one day or time suitable for everyone.

I would guess that Randy will do another Meet 'n Greet on the weekend, or another weekday evening.
