    Sorry I was not able to attend, sounds like everyone had a good time. Artful was good enough to give me a heads up on this but there were things that were already set in motion .

    Im happy to see my dads name still floating around on the forum!

    Maybe I will be able to make the next one, hopefully we can shoot too!

    Good times! Nice to meet new like-minded people. Even met one of my brothers (Mason). I must have been in the bathroom when those waitresses came by, heh. Looking forward to another meet!

    I was there for that meeting and remember you dad well. Most of all I remember your dad's email and advice he gave me on loading 223 in my AR-15. He was right on telling me to drop my pet load 2.0 grs. As he predicted my 100 group dropped about an inch but tightened up considerably.

    Well that is very eclectic of you. I just can not picture you with Vince Neil hair.

    Great time. It was really nice meeting some of the members, and putting some names with faces. Hope to get together again and do some shooting.

    I just took a position with another company and I will be leaving next week and will probably be gone until the end of March. You guys should make plans and I will have to plan for the next one after that.

    I'm up for whatever - if Havasu, we'll RON in a motel the night before, and drive home the next day. GF says she will hit the casino while we do boolit shoot & talk!

    Ok, anyone else who has plans on a regular basis
    - Needs to speak up before we pick a date.

    Otherwise I'd say could be looking at Last Saturday of Every Month
    in Feb the 22nd would be that date.

    And I like the idea of Over west of the state for the next one being a shot and eat afterward.

    Maybe a theme - Say Pistol Calibers - Handgun or Rifle
    I've got some steel we could set up at say 25, 50 and 100.

    If we can pick a date, location and time with waitresses like those in the picture. Consider me in attendance. Kidding and BS aside. The sooner we can pick a date and location. The better it will be to avoid scheduling conflicts. 2/22 is fine with me, just let me know where.

    If anybody is interested in attending the next meeting of the Arizona Society of Arms Collectors. Please let me know. I'll post the date or reply to private messages as soon as I know.
