Michigan Cast Boolit Shoot and Shovel Day!

[clintsfolly]

For more then a few years as I meet members here the idea comes up and is liked. So with time marching on I decided to just set a date and run with it.
On May 21 I plan to be at Bob Eavns Restaurant on the corner of I96 & M43 at 8:00 am for breakfast. Any and all are welcome to join me. At about 9:30 will move the party to my Clubs Range at Chief Okemos Sportmans Club in Dimomdale and plan to stay till 4:00. So come when you can and stay as long as you want!
We will have a 25yds,50yds,100yds,200yds and the plate rack! The club will be open to members and we will just work and play around them.
Please bring chairs,drinks,and cool stuff to shoot! I will have a pop up tent and the firing line is covered. Will post if you need boots as the range is low and wet at time. (We are working on the drainage)
Lunch will be pizza or bring your own. We will pass the hat to pay for it.

Simple, easy directions and sounds like a lot of fun.
I may not be able to make it. My brother-in-law invited me to a gathering at camp Grayling. It is a weekend event of 82 Airborne alumni. I was honored that he invited me and they do plan on having some range time..... Just doubt Grayling has a 25 yrd range for my snubby

I was looking forward to getting some time in front of the plate rack and you guys are fun in a bar I figure at a range you all would be a hoot.

[clintsfolly]

Will be at the club any nice Wednesday from about 3:00-5:30 for the next 10 weeks. After that till I had enough! Come on out!

[historicfirearms]

Sounds like fun. I will try to make it.

[nagantguy]

Great, love to attend. ....., sounds like everything I love , good friends, food, guns!!!!!!

[Lloyd Smale]

sounds like fun but its three hours to far for my wore out old back.

Glad you got it set up! Most of my guns are down in El Paso unfortunately. I do have two AR's that I need to break in. The .223/556 has 20 rounds through it, and the 300blk only has about 6 as it was getting dark. Other than that I have my Marlin 45 colt cowboy lever action. Hope to make it for sure. How far is it from Mason? Can I still get in if I don't make breakfast? Only if I bring donuts right.

Hi, I want to go , but I`ll be at The Dayton Hamvention. Any other weekend And I will come and shoot. :bigsmyl2:[smilie=2:

[clintsfolly]

Come any time and stay as long as you want! About 8-10 miles from Mason.

[Hardcast416taylor]

DANG!!! Another `Meet & Shoot` I`ll have to pass on since my old ticker has been acting up this Spring.Robert

[Mixxerd]

I will have to see what I can do to attend. Will probably bring something that goes bang.

Oh no for 1000 yrds I always use the 6 inch barrel in 357. Find with a 38 in the snub nose I have to snap my wrist as I pull the trigger to give a little extra push to get the 38 down range 1000 yards. My BIL told me there is a 25 meter range. That is still a touch longish for the snub nose with me behind it. I'll just have to use a bigger target ;-)

[clintsfolly]

Been a while so refresh the ideas in your minds

[JWT]

My wife will be in France and my son will be in NYC with my parents so count me in. Any caliber restrictions at your range?

[clintsfolly]

Shoulder fired ��

[clintsfolly]

Getting closer and starting to get pumped up. Day at the range and talking guns,casting and anything that comes to mind!

[clintsfolly]

Well Saturday is the day! Ok who coming and when? I will be at Bob Evens at 8:00am and wearing a hi-vis yellow RSO vest. Hard to miss. Bring your great toys and let's have a great safe day!!!

[DougGuy]

Dang we are in Michigan visiting GF's family too bad we are a week early! I promise we didn't bring this late spring flurry of white stuff up with us from NC!

[JWT]

I will meet you at the restaurant.

I will be bringing a Trapdoor 45-70, a Mannlicher in 270, a Remington 700 in 22-250, and maybe a Marlin lever in 35 or 444. The Remington and Marlins are the first time out with lead, and the Mannlicher is new to me. I will also bring a couple of handguns.

I look like this, but less formal.

Wish it was possible,but it's not just the three days it would take me to get there is more than I can handle these days.

[SSGOldfart]

Rogerdat enjoy Camp Grayling I got a invited to that reunion myself,but my health isn't good enough for the trip.

Airborne
Leads the way

[clintsfolly]

Just back from my every Wednesday range day. Bring your boots as the range is damp and soft. May dry more by Saturday. See you there!

[clintsfolly]

See you at Bob Evans in the morning!

[JWT]

I am on the way, but running late. 696 is closed.

[clintsfolly]

Well the first mid mi shoot and shovel is in the bag! We both had a great time chatting and shot a few gun too! Will have to do it again.

[JWT]

Had a great time yesterday. I got the chance to exercise some of my toys that haven't been out of the safe in years. The date on some of my reloaded 38spl. boxes was 1995! Now I have some empty brass to reload.

Clint and I also had the opportunity to introduce some new shooters to some guns that they wouldn't normally see and help put them on the right path with their shooting. It is amazing watching the improvement in a beginning shooter with jut 10min. of instruction.

I'm looking forward to the next Michigan get together.

[minmax]

Sure wish I could have made it. Clint please let me know if there is going to be another one.

[clintsfolly]

Will do! It was great to watch the young guy go from1 hit for 8 shots to 6for 6.

[nagantguy]

Sorry I missed the fun, I had 4 days of nra training to get my instructor certs.
