SWMBO is gonna check about coming with me this year!

She takes some fantastic pictures and plans to hang out and take pictures.

I showed her a picture of Rocker and told her I was bring Body Armour because of him.
Be warned David! She can be a MEAN one! LOL

She sure is sassy I could see her unleashing heck on David for sure.

Thanks for the info on the Rutledge Inn, just made a reservation for Keith and I for Fri/Sat. Will have my 10x10 pop-up and my table.

Great Tom.... Keith and Dillon helped me out so much when I was setting up my synrod. It will be great to meet both of you.

You to Bill, and thanks for setting this up for us. It's sounding like the best one yet already!

Thanks again Tom! I'll be working on a few target ideas that don't take up too much space in the vehicle.

I also got a 2/3rds full box of paintballs and will have some other reactive targets as well as some FT fall over resettable targets with me and likely some others I can get made up by then.

I also got a room at the Rutledge inn for Friday/Saturday for 149.50 tax included. Phone number is 1-334-335-3050

I have not even thought about all the guns I will be bringing with but for sure the 25 brod, 22 mutant, 177 TX200 with AGT 22mm skirtless piston kit, 177 gen1 Mrod, FWB 124, 1720T and prod, 25 flash, and as many more as I can fit in the truck. Its an extended cab long bed so lots of space to fill.

Are we there yet.

The fact is that many of us here in Alabama and surrounding area are within a few short hours of each other. I'm always open to day hangouts on the weekend and such. I have a 3 acre field right next to the house that we can pile up on and shoot 50 - 60 yds. on a Saturday or Sunday. Just not enough room to host an event like this on.
Those 3 acres have been sold off but I have permission to be on them until the new owners begin to develop them.... a couple years down the line.
Any time you , more local, folks want to get together, we can make it happen.

Sounds good Bill, I may take you up on the offer once my apnea device get activated and I can resume a normal sleep routine with restorative sleep benefits. Feb 3rd is the rebirth date for me.

Like wise if you or any local shooters have a hankering to try out some FT matches or some long range 100 yard plinking our club is located in Heflin ,AL at 1200 Evans bridge road., Google for directions. There is also a 100 yard archery range next to our sight in range as well as a 3D archery course across the road with our FT courses. This is all owned and maintained by the city of Heflin so its well kept with bathrooms on site. We try to shoot the first weekend of each month weather permitting. We shoot Saturday mornings at 8am and Sunday afternoons at 2pm. The range is open 7/365 for sight in/plinking at your leisure and FT course is open all weekend on match weekends so if you cannot make it on match start time just shoot when you can. Your first match is free and then only 5 dollars per match on honor type system.

We shoot HFT only right now which is based on UK rules of 12fpe limit with any gun/scope combo and scope can be set to any power/parallax desired but once you address the first target no further scope adjustments are allowed. Targets are 8 to 45 yards and shot from prone, kneeling or standing with some unsupported lanes and some supported lanes using trees or pegs in the ground for support. We also have a sticks class for us old geezers that are not capable getting up and down off the ground from prone/kneeling positions,( namely me the old geezer).

I use a stool and bipod on the prone lanes and kneeling lanes stool only no bipod.

We are in the process of trying to get a fun shoot scheduled for some time in April so when it gets finalized I will post a thread on the forum for those that may be interested. It should have fun plinking, long range shooting/matches and FT matches for a two day event also.

Sounds good Mike....

Well, I jumped on the wheeler this morning with intentions to take measurements and pic..
What I found was stock trailers and show cows everywhere. Evidently the had a cow judging contest going on this weekend. I was able to have a look around inside the building that we will have access to.... you guys are really gonna like this setup.

Found this place in Andalusia this morning called Dirt Cheap. Looked like an unkept Odd Lots. Stuff everywhere..
I guess they do buyouts and such..
Shopped around and they had signs that read "Up to 90% off ticket prices".
I picked up 2 10x10 Ozark Trail easy up canopies for $23 each.
SCORE !!!
So we got our shooting bench canopy and another one to put our stuff in that we plan to sell.

Insanity · « **Reply #249 on:** January 18, 2020, 05:30:34 PM »

That is a score as they are 80 each at WM.

avator · « **Reply #250 on:** January 18, 2020, 05:41:02 PM »

Yep, exactly the sticker price. Got em for 70% off. You had to check them over, some of them had the canopy missing from folks opening them. I found one that was never opened and the other had the canopy tied to the handle in a plastic bag. I set that one up when we got home.... took all of 10 minutes. Found a miss stitch on a piece of velcro.... strip of duct tape and done.

Buldawg76 · « **Reply #251 on:** January 19, 2020, 01:33:34 AM »

Hmmm, We got a Dirt cheap here also so need to go see if they have the same deals.

Thanks for the heads up.

WOW! I haven't traveled in a long time, so $70 per night sounds REALLY expensive to me for a *cheap* hotel/motel room.

Sorry... just had to say it.

Fixed/limited income may have a lot to do with that equation.

Springrrrr · « **Reply #253 on:** January 19, 2020, 08:32:59 AM »

What about rimfire 22's but no larger calibers? That was ok in Horseshoe Bend so I am just asking if ok here.

avator · « **Reply #254 on:** January 19, 2020, 08:42:56 AM »

Sorry Bob, I think we'll want to limit this one to airguns. I've already committed to that when I booked the site.

Buldawg76 · « **Reply #255 on:** January 19, 2020, 11:30:05 AM »

Not many "nice cheap rooms" available these day, now if you are comfortable with run down flea bag style economy rooms they can be had for 50 or so a night. Not my cup of tea.

I live on a fixed income as well but manage my dollars responsibly also.

Just had to say it.

I have been looking around online at local accomodations, and found a place in Troy that is 45 dollars nightly. I think it may have been a Quality Inn

Actually, on my occasional road trips and travels away from home for 2-3 days at a time, I often find the older places in town to be pretty fun to stay in. I have met some really cool people doing that. When I went to Arkansas a couple of years ago, I stayed in Jasper the first night....just drove down there and found a place on the river that was only about 50 dollars per night. The owners had been there since the place had been opened in the 50's, if I'm not mistaken.
It was old, and not the prettiest place I've stayed in, of course, but it was nice enough. Clean, the AC worked, had cable tv and Wi-Fi service. I find places like that to generally be lots of fun.LOL
