And I will do a Copy/paste from Borepatch. Some extra comments at the bottom.
We are a go for the February Southwest Florida Blogshoot a week from today. The weather looks like it will continue “National Hate Florida Week” for another 7 days:
We have the range that we tried for last time – the one with a 25 yard pistol range and a 200 yard rifle range. Miguel is going to sight in some rifles, so we can probably do a sighting in clinic. I just sighted one in a couple months back and so have some reasonably fresh experience.
Please leave a comment to confirm that you are planning to come on the 27th so we will have a final headcount. Also, check back tomorrow for the form you will need to download and fill out (ah, where would we be without paperwork?).
The Venue:
When: Saturday, February 27 at 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM.
Where: Manatee Gun and Archery Club, 1805 Logue Rd, Myakka City, FL 34251
Facilities: Some of our readers are bringing their betters halves (as am I) and the fairer sex will be relieved to know that there are proper, civilized facilities in the club house.
Cost: $20 per person to cover range rental and sundries.
And I add:
Bring your sidearm and at least 2 good magazines or speedloaders (more is always better) It will NOT be a high count shootout, just the opposite. I figure less than 50 rounds if you get really excited and want to shoot a lot
And all levels of pistol shooters are invited because you will only be competing against yourselves, let’s not be shy. (Yes, you can shoot .22 LR if you want to)
If you have a holster and pouches, bring them and shoot using them. If you don’t have them, no problem either you will get to shoot too. Again, you will only be competing against yourself.
Those in the forum may already know the “surprise” and I have at least one person bringing a shot timer, but I am believe in back ups.
In other news: I am bringing my Romanian Bang Stick. Anybody wanting to shoot AKlon, bring 7.62×39 ammo. And that reminds me, Does anybody know how to figure out a thread? I have the stupid WASR screwed up by Century Arms which does not come with the traditional 14-1LH but something right handed and I would love to figure out what is it after a decade and a half of wondering.
I have a thread gauge. I will bring it.
Merci amigo
Beware of metric threads. Some are close enough that it’s hard to tell them apart with a thread gauge, but a nut for the one won’t fit the other.
And of course there’s weirdo stuff like Witworth thread, but with any luck that isn’t found on firearms.
I so wanted to try and be there this year, but alas now that I am finally working again, Saturdays are spoken for. Hope you all have a great time!
We will shoot some rounds in your honor…so basically one round 😀
As always jelly im too far away, have fun!
I’m planning on coming with shot timer, target stands backers etc.
