I'll be bringing a bunch of paper targets, 8.5x11, if someone can bring some cardboard it'd be great...

No...not me. Been laid up since Monday. And my kid is 35. And, while I've CC'd for years, I'm not set up for OC, yet. Working on it. Need to do a face to face with folks who do so's I can get smart.

Nice, that is the place I used to shoot as a teenager. Glad to see it is still open. Used to be able to drive right in and shoot prone from the bed of a pickup truck. Gotta watch out for the kids on dirt bikes though. One time even had some real geniuses that kept burning right through our firing zone.

Well, assuming I can drive without endangering anyone, I'll be working. Not sure just how much meds constitute "under the influence". If I'm mobile though, I generally get home @ 6-ish. My neighbor is driving me to the Mall and Thriftway in a half hour...still too dopey to try driving, myself.

Well, lemme know when you are up to a meetup, I'd enjoy meeting you! I have Monday and Tuesday off. Some small chance we may have met briefly anyhow... ever get offered a newspaper subscription by a tall guy with a goatee? :p

I got out today to a quieter shooting pit and worked on getting the scope sighted in. I didn’t use any fancy ammunition, just some Remington YellowJacket hollow points. I was shooting off a rest, 85 yards, light winds.

Neat pics! Sorry I couldn't make it out. I had class until 11:30am and then homework I had to do at school. By the time I left school it was about 12:30pm and I would've had to go from the UW to Edmonds, get all my rifles and such together, then try to get down to Olympia... just not feasible.

Here is an opportunity to get some POSITIVE MEDIA COVERAGE (if that is possible)

Get 10-15 OCers together and lets clean up that place.

Imagine the looks you'd get at the dump as you let go two pickup loads of spent casings... priceless!
