Carolinas get together

USMCSKI · 07-30-2007, 11:27

I am working on having a meet/shoot/eat/swap type get together for shooters in the carolinas. Is there any interest in something like this? I have to go talk to a new someone about using the land for this event so no date is set in stone as of yet. I just wanted to get a basic idea of how many would be interested.
More info coming soon so keep check on this post if you are interested!!!!

also whats everyones opinions if there is a small entrance fee? we may have to pay to use the land.

I could go for that so long it's close and on the weekend ..... and a "small" entrance fee would be more than justified ....

Agreed. I need to burn some powder.

Can you give us an idea of where the event might take place? If it's within an hour of Raleigh, I'd be interested.

KOGLOBAL · 08-02-2007, 05:13

I'm in too, any working location at this point in mind?

USMCSKI · 08-02-2007, 16:10

Statesville....or about 8 miles north of where I77 and i40 cross

capnjim01 · 08-02-2007, 16:22

sounds good to me. maybe everyone bring something to eat like at tailgate party.

spober · 08-05-2007, 15:02

the carolina;s? where that? youd have a better turn out if you limited it to either NC or SC .There is no bond,rivalry,no nutting between NC and SC. PERIOD!

USMC Ryfleman · 08-06-2007, 16:56

Im in!

Zulu Alpha · 08-07-2007, 19:40

Sounds close... will probably be able to make it as long as the work sked is OK

Honorabledog · 08-21-2007, 05:38

Sounds great, just the type of thing I'd travel all the way to Statesville for

. Just give a quick heads up so I can maybe take time off from the nightly grind. We have this type of thing scheduled in Sept at my Gun club. Ya'll want to put together a 5 or six stage competition or something

. I have some simple ideas from some recent combat shoots. I have been thinking about this type of thing out at our ranges for some time so let me know if i can help.

MCKNBRD · 08-21-2007, 07:09

Some type of competition thing would be OK, but I'd rather just show up with some guns and ammo and burn some powder. If we 'over-organize' it, it will be a pain.

I say we show up, be willing to let folks shoot what we have, look forward to shooting whatever is offered, and do a cookout.

If some informal shoot-offs are set up that day, that would be fine, but I don't wanna have to sit in a queue all day waiting for my round or whatever.

I'd rather do the 3 S's...shoot, shovel (food in my mouth) and showoff!

All the so-called competition stuff and the general "good ol'boy with a 1911" that usually accompanies such events make A LOT of folks stay away.

I'd keep it simple and fun. Statesville is a little ways from here but I wouldn't mind the drive.

Am I to late?

I am up for it although it is a drive. Do we have to bring a Glock? Mine is back home in Dallas (NC).

Probably not

If I can time it right, I'll bring my In Law.
Nice location.

Honorabledog · 08-22-2007, 02:26

Sorry guy's. I thought it was an all Glock event without the good ol' boy 1911 shooter showing up. I wasn't thinking of Die hard combat tactical, just some ways to compare our glocks with the many different set-ups we all may have. I guess just a little more creative than shooting standard circles or what not. No matter what I'm still interested in coming to the event

kma1005 · 08-22-2007, 09:39

I'd go, maybe some folks can take some time to educate me on proper rifle/shotgun shooting, never been taught really, bought a Bushmaster AR-15 cause I wanted it and I've shot it several times at Davi's (UGH!) they had the damn lights off or something so I couldn't shot very well, and the damn thing kept sticking and the guy acted like it was my fault. Ok anyway, I think it would be really cool, I don't have anything special, just a G17 and my AR-15 which I'm sure everyone has/has shot, I think I'd feel like more of a moocher, I'd be shooting everyone else's guns. But anyway, definitely up for it, let me know.

Try and make it after the 31st(payday), I need some money for ammo/gas/food.
