[vengarr]

Elzetta has provided us some door prizes! I don't know what they are but I will post pictures as soon as I get them in!

[vengarr]

We have a light a shotgun and an ar mount for the light from Elzetta!

[etownguy]

can this be a spectator sport.. I would not mind doing this but frankly I would like to watch it go down once before jumping in on the action.

[vengarr]

If you would like to come out and observe, that is fine by me.

I will say watching people shoot while you can jump in and shoot is like watching people have sex when you can jump in and have sex. Jump in there and have some fun!

We do a fantastic job of easing shooters into it!

Our youngest shooter at the last night match was 13 years old and struggled a little bit with the weight of his brother's rifle.

[Jff24Gordn]

If you didn't attend, you missed not being able to shoot from the passenger seat of Kenny's truck driving across the range.

[bengdeng]

I got banned for spamming!
And I have no penis.

[ChopperDoc]

Does we have a goober posting random stuff to screw with a gun website?

[Wyldman]

Ban hammer time.

[etownguy]

wtf

[LCPL_NBREW]

Any word if something like this is going to go on again ?

[Dustin]

It's not. Insurance killed it. They couldn't get the turn out to cover the event.

[Frailer]

It didn't kill it--just delayed it for a bit. They're now holding matches under the auspices of KPDL.

[Jff24Gordn]

Most of the matches will be during the day.

[Joe]

To bad it is at Knob Creek

[LCPL_NBREW]

IM active duty and fell as if we don't do enough night shoots under WHITE LIGHT and I would like to get some good ranges in before my next deployment (which is VERY SOON)
