3rd Annual Dottrio Shooting Event

[Mr. Ed]

Many thanks to Mike and family for hosting this great event!

Good chance to see some old (and new) friends again, and to pig out on a terrific buffet.

Is it too early to sign p for next year?

Another big thank you to Mike. Best part of my time was being able to work with a new shooter. Mike loaned him a glock and then I let him shoot my 1911 and AR. He had a big smile on his face as we were walking out.

Big thanks to Mike and the family for allowing us to all be family in person for the day. And heritage is pretty bad ass, too bad it's far for me.

It was nice having Chad there too in Chad Force One. He was busy the entire time i was there checking out AR's. Plus we got to see his cool toys!

 

[StantonCree]

Yeah mike that was a great time!!! I finally got to meet Jeff which was awesome and ZZZZZ and Fidelity and I were basically just passing around guns.

Now I gotta avoid bourbon for 2 months or I'll buy a PCR!!!!

Fidelity has some freaking awesome toys!

Plus I watched chad go over like 5 people's ARs how freaking cool was that!

Thanks for the great event! I bet Heritage is getting some new customers. Thanks Chad in AR Force One.

 

[Blaster229]

I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 minutes I was there.

Awesome day!

I got to shoot some extremely cool stuff! Too many to list but what stood-out was the Sig P226 Legion. I am in love with that thing. There is no hype to the Legion. It's the real deal. One of the best triggers and best feeling service pistols I've ever shot - crazy accurate! Thanks to Fidelity for letting me shoot it!

The other one I really enjoyed was mpdc4511's Colt Trooper MK III. Boy did it bring back some good memories. It had been so long since I shot a wheel gun, I almost forgot how to grip one. Thanks!!!

It was also an honor to meet DA, RD, Rack, Gryphon, Clandestine, Blaster229, DC-W and everyone else who showed-up and socialized. What a great group of people we have on MDS! Damn! Are they the best or what? I'm really looking forward to the next meet-up!

But most of all, I want to thank Mike (boundlessdyad) and Abby for all their time and effort to put the Dottrio Event together. I can't wait to do it again!

A thousand thanks to Mike, Abbey, Huxley, and the Boss, Penelope.

Had a great time. I think my dad had a better time. Heritage was, interesting. Thanks to Rack, DA, and outrider for the trigger time. It's a great memory and coming back home was totally worth it

Thanks to Mike & family. Got to see some and new faces.

Thank you Mike and your family for hosting us I'll see y'all same time next year !

Oh and fidelity my 9mm AR cycled just fine at home. I might just be an idiot, I'm pretty sure that's a known fact though

Hahahaha were you expecting an old grumpy puss? I'll take 12 though it's better then 31.

Many many thanks to Mike, family, and every one else who contributed to this top shelf event. It was nice meeting fellow MDS members but I missed so many too.

 

[redeemed.man]

Thank you guys and gals for coming. What a blast...

Penelope loves protegeV and thinks he flew all the way in from Texas just for her. Huxley really took to Rack&Roll as you can see.

Extra special thanks to Chad and Irv for setting up SOTAR mobile.

The food was great, thanks to my beautiful wife for hooking up the catering and the hate chicken.

P.S. Stoveman might have me in the market for a suppressor

What a great day. I know many coming from a distance confronted traffic problems, so glad you made the effort.

First off, no surprise, Dottrio throws a first class event. The check-in room, food throughout the day in this main socializing space, mag loading room, and exclusive 12 lanes throughout the day - I felt spoiled. What a gift to the MDS community. All supported by the constant attention and help of Mike and Abby (such a great team), Penelope (pulling winning ticket numbers), and Huxley (charging around the check-in room).

In addition, Clandestine brought SOTAR for its first on the road event with Chad Force One in Frederick. He was joined by Victor and was another center of activity during the day. Always great seeing Clandestine. Wish he could have joined us for some trigger time, but understandable he needed to keep watch on things when he opened CFO up. Pretty amazing how much he fits in there.

Met so many people today. Some of old friends off the forum now, and some I met for the first time in person, which was great. Somewhat chronologically, fiveloaves, ground chuck, ironpony, Shafted, DBlas, 501st, Mike, Zzzzz_man, MPDC4511, Rack&Roll, Swinokur, Gryphon, DC-W, Stoveman, DA, Outrider, PsychoSteve, Protege, Blaster, Shipperke, Teratos, and more (and I don't want to use real names if I don't remember MDS aliases, other than for folks who publicly shared this info on the forum in the past). Things really started getting busy in the afternoon. I'm guessing there are MDSers I wanted to meet that I missed out because I was running out or too shy to introduce myself at times. I wouldn't have met Protege if DA didn't introduce him.

I had a blast shooting the guns of those who shared today. Firearms that stood out were Zzzzz_man's PCR (which shoots like a big gun, so smooth and easy to hit where one's aiming), MPDC's Beretta "space" gun and Colt Detective revolver (this was an honor - really appreciated it - on my list of something to eventually shoot -such a sweet gun), and Outrider's suppressed 300 BLK AR (wow, wow, wow ... truly pew, pew, pew).

What a fun day. Too bad it had to end. Look forward to the next get-together.

Awesome event. Wish I could have stayed longer. Daughter was not feeling well so she rushed me out. Good to see everyone. Wish I would have gotten to talk to more people.
