I know, the crappy $15 cargo pants I'm wearing were made by dying slave children in the finest sweatshops of Southeast Asia.

You do realize your TAD pants cost more than my entire work outfit for a week, right? I just can't stand head-to-toe 5.11 goons.

Well, if you're impressed I suppose I'll have to roll my ass down 95 and do it sometime.

Forgot that, I wanna know how much time you lose from shooting someone in the back.

Oh, and I see Walt won a t-shirt. I know he'll be wearing that bad boy around town.

Go for it, though I think you put too much weight on my opinion. In these matters, its probably best to defer to Slims. For what it's worth, he seemed to be happy with the course of fire, facilities and the instructors who ran the match. I plan on stopping in for a 1-2 day carbine course in the near future. If you decide to check out a match or a course, let me know and I will try to coordinate with you.

Probably not as much as the guy who got shot. Something to consider if you're slightly behind on points.

Yeah, but you're a sleeps-'til-noon college student, right? That's more my skill level. I can relate to that.

That and Slims hasn't made a single Road Warrior or American Psycho reference to date. For shame.

I'll hafta check it out in the summer when I get back. Be warned: while I've never shot myself in the foot, I'm still a lousy shot. Think: Grandma playing Lethal Enforcers. If their July shoot is on the 2nd, I won't be able to make it. Which sucks for me because I'll miss the hot-hot infidel gunfighter action.

Good. I'm going to partner up with the jumpy fat guy in all the CrapTac gear toting the Olympic Arms and the XD.

Or Hinson if he ever shows up again.

JULY 2011

Hey guys, I should be available to attend whatever hot-hot training event is within Reasonable Bragg Distance (TM) during the month of July 2011.

I live on the mid east coast so anything from Pennsylvania to South Carolina is game. I'm looking at a carbine/pistol class but open to others (AK, etc.).

I'd like to do a multiple-day class or a back-to-back classes as to make good use of travel time, gas and hotel costs. Carpooling will happen.

Thoughts? Plans? Ideas? I was thinking maybe Viking Tactics' "Street Fighter" or a similar course would be cool. Ideas? Suggestions?

Who can attend?

Slims · 03-20-2011, 08:23 PM

I am deployed again. Sorry.

KirStang · 03-20-2011, 09:08 PM

I just got an idea.

A couple of us agree to a certain date range. I contact a training firm, see if they're interested in training a class. Then, I'll look in to a facility (or facility first, as that may be a better pre-req).

Then we all get together and get some productive shooting done. Anyone interested?

Something like a precision rifle class? 2-3 day range?

Or VTAC Streetfighter? (They have none scheduled in the future--from what it looks like there needs to be some legwork done to set up the class). It's a fight in urban enviroment/from vehicle type of class.

The_Dunedan · 03-21-2011, 07:31 AM

I would love to. However, considering that any one of these courses costs the equivalent of about 2 month's salary, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to participate. Add in ammo, transport, and lodging and I'm double fucked. I can hook y'all up with a range, but 'fraid anything formal is out of the question for me.

KirStang · 03-21-2011, 07:50 AM

Okay, scratch that.

Would love to meet up on a weekend and run some drills, though.

Or just shoot with the TFP gunners.

Plan9 · 03-21-2011, 09:41 AM

Dunedan, the Viking Tactics course cost $600. You're telling me that you make $300 a month?

...

I'm not home very often anymore and try to max out on training while I'm in the land of beer and blowjobs.

My job also cripples my social life so I figured I'd try to get some type of lame TFP gun guy get-together.

As KirStang suggested, I'd be glad to set up some type of meet-up that involves guns one day, booze another.

The_Dunedan · 03-21-2011, 10:14 AM

Really? I thought I remembered the last couple of courses y'all took running into the $2000 range. Could be I'm remembering prices I ran across elsewhere; Mea Culpa in any case. Unfortunately it's still un-doable, but thanks for the info.

KirStang · 03-21-2011, 11:40 AM

I poked around the VTAC site some more, it'll cost something like $3,042 a day for up to 15 members. (Hence the $200/day sort of figure that's the industry standard).

It's good training. But then again, I'm not sure everyone can justify spending so much $$ on a skillset that they may never use.

Walt · 03-21-2011, 01:23 PM

I'd be interested in a cheap single-day course or renting out Dunedan's range.

I dunno, if I have to get shot by a drunk guy, I'd much rather be drunk myself too.

Kidding, kidding.

JULY 2011

Again, I should be available to attend whatever hot-hot training event or range meet-up that is within Reasonable Fort Bragg Distance (TM) during the month of July 2011.

I live on the mid east coast so anything from Pennsylvania to South Carolina is game. I'm looking at a couple carbine/pistol classes but I'm open to others (AK, shotgun, etc.).

Thoughts? Plans? Ideas? There is an entry level "room clearing" class (w/ tactifatties) near the end of July that would be a relatively brainless gun-oriented get-together.

Anybody game? I have a fully loaded guest room and a big couch and lotsa alcohol.

*usual TFP crickets*

EventHorizon · 06-06-2011, 09:15 PM

holy shit niner where've you been?

Plan9 · 06-06-2011, 09:56 PM

Better question: Who gives a fuck?

...

Please don't soil my Range Meet-Up thread with silly questions.

I don't want it to turn into another TFP XY circle jerk.

LordEden · 06-07-2011, 05:02 AM

Classes? No. Meet up with beer? Yes.

I can't afford to take the cool kids classes with the tactifatty cheerleaders. I'd love to, but the equipment for that would be way beyond my $12 an hour paycheck. Informal shooting at a range? Yes, but don't hold back because of me. Let me know where you guys are going to be and I'll come afterwards with munchies and beer.

Personally, I'd love to go to the The_Dunedan's shop and maybe shoot at his range. That's a long way for the 9ner to drive just to do what he can do down the street.

Walt · 06-14-2011, 08:45 PM

I'm in for whatever, though I don't think my schedule will allow for a multi-day course. If cost is an issue, we can always look in to an IDPA or 3-gun match. You all will, of course, be competing for second place.

Plan9 · 06-14-2011, 08:53 PM

Walt,

I'd like to do IDPA / 3-Gun. I'll hit you up in a week or so when I'm back in town.

And you should know: I don't compete for second. I consistently secure 19th.

I make that Hinson guy look like Jerry Miculek. I'm hot garbage behind the trigger.

Too bad I can't go with you guys and do some shenanigans. Bar prep is killing me.

Hey, poetry master... what's up? When do you want to party?

Walt · 06-30-2011, 10:09 AM

Right now it looks like I'm good the 3rd week in July and possibly the 2nd week in August. I should know for sure by Monday
.

Plan9 · 06-30-2011, 12:42 PM

Eh, I've only got until the 20-somethingth of July. I'm going to be busting a cap in tactifatties on the 23rd in your old state.

Then my ass is back on a plane to The Place Where No One Cares (TM).

Let me know what your shed-yoo-ull looks like. If not, perhaps next year.
