And I shall be my lazy self with a copy/paste.
The (first) Southwest Florida Blogshoot (catered by The Queen Of The World) is hard up upon us, and it looks like we will have enough people that I might be able to reserve the 200 yard private rifle and pistol range at the gun club. I need to call them to reserve it on Thursday, so I need a final nose count from everyone.
What I need from you: Leave a comment saying that (a) you are coming and (b) the total number coming with you (some of you have said that you were going to bring your better half or a friend).
This is the Venue:
When: Saturday, November 14 at 12:30 PM
Where: Manatee Gun and Archery Club, 1805 Logue Rd, Myakka City, FL 34251
The Cost: The range will charge $20 for a half day’s shooting on the public range, but it will be $15 for the private range if we get 15 people (and thus the request for the nose count). The public ranges have 100, 200, and 300 yard ranges, plus a 25 yard pistol range. The private range has 25 to 200 yard rifle/pistol lanes. All Ranges are covered, but it looks like Tropical Storm Eta might (hopefully) be gone by then. Please check the gun club web site for range rules – footwear, eye and ear protection, (for the ladies) nothing low cut, etc.*
The Queen Of The World is planning to bring lunch. Charlie Foxtrot, thanks for the offer of the crock pot of beans, but I don’t think that there’s electricity. In any case, The Queen Of The World is a Force of Nature when she is planning an event, and she is planning this is full force.
The following people have said they are coming:
Ratus
Dixie Dennis
David L
Kevin Creighton (Ammoman)
Frederick
Divemedic
BigCountryExpat
Charlie Foxtrot
Please confirm with a headcount and I will reserve the range.
* Unless you plan on dong the Hot Brass Dance, of course.
C’mon, don’t be shy. Show up and let’s have fun doing the pew-pew. Let Borepatch know,
My eldest daughter has a scar on both boobies because she didn’t listen to dad when he told her that the top she was wearing was not a good choice. She managed to catch a 9mm shell casing right there and couldn’t get it out because dad had a hold of her hand/wrist keeping the firearm pointed down range.
Last year I manage to catch a .45 shell casing on the rim of my safety glasses. It just sat there burning like heck as I shook my head and put the firearm down safely to be able to reach up and remove it.
No scar but there was a nasty burn there for a week or so.
The First Law of Range Physics: Cleavage attracts hot brass. And I had the same thing happening to me with a 9mm case and safety glases and it hurt!
Heh… i still have a scar on my eyebrow from catching hot brass between the eye protection & my skin. Still glad the eye protection did 99% of its job though. LOL!
I’ll be there. Tried to post that @ borepatchblog but site wants a Big-Brother Goolag login, which I don’t have nor want cuz they’re just as bad as Twatter, Fakebook and the rest.
Miguel, please just let him know 1 more (me) for the headcount. Thanks.
I’ll let him know
I hope to come.
weather permitting.

TS Eta is schizophrenic for sure… Hope to see you there!
Have fun guys, wish I was close enough to attend!
I would love to be there but its about 8 hours away. Closer than when I was in Joliet, but still a long drive. Perhaps next time. Have fun, everyone.
