Am I riding with you again Dirk?

 

I don't have any fixed plans other than the dates I have off work. There's a good possibility my wife will role out too, but I won't know that for certain until we get closer. Plenty of vehicles and plenty of space to make anything happen. If the wife comes, you may need a tent though...

This is valid.  In my "early days" of duning with these guys, she choked me out one year... She is no joke. I think I said something "smart," and I woke up in the bed of my own truck. The only thing I remembered before that was looking at her when I said it, and smiling when I said it...

It must not have been funny...   :embarrassed:

Should probably do the pistol course on Thursday and Saturday. A couple friends from work can make it on Saturday and my daughters will also show up !

I will start collecting targets and stands.

The schedule is set, brother.  Done.  It is what it is, so tell them to plan around this. Pistol will be happening on Saturday, though.  See this thread:

 

Quote

Basic Schedule is SET.  Shoot dates are solid, 18~21 October 2018, are the "firing dates."

Wednesday, 17 October 2018 - many people arriving, getting into Phoenix.  Pre-shoot prep will go down this day, as well as numerous trips to the airport.  We need to coordinate arrival times of flights, if flights haven't been made. 

The FIRST person arriving, that is confirmed, lands in Phoenix at 9:10am local.  If we can KEEP arrival times to "sometime in the morning" of the 17th, then we can accomplish alot more.  Think about that, if you're a flyer...  Or get your own rental car...   :laffs:

Thursday, 18 October 2018 - first day on the range.  We arrive, set up short-course action, and y'all get your lead out. Just do it,shoot it, get it out of your system.  We "refine" the range that day, add 300 to 450 through one canyon, and out to 660 to the north, for intermediate range.  Night shoot will happen on that night.

Friday, 19 October 2018 - Long Range Day.  Our max limit is 2200 yards - we'll only have 2 guns that can do it, both in .338 Lapua Magnum.  We can set up just about anything shorter than that, too,and we already have known-distances at 500 and 845 yards, confirmed.  We'll go WAY longer than that, this trip. I ALMOST bought a .416 Barrett for this one event, just to fuk up the two .338 LM guys.  There's gonna be a .416 Barret at the Fall Shoot next year, count your money now...   Make your bets.  I'm taking your money...   :banana:

Saturday, 20 October 2018 - back to Base Camp, with more short-range and intermediate work.  Many competitions will go down this day, feelings are gonna get hurt, butts will hurt, and somebody's walking away BRAGGING...   :lmao:

Sunday, 21 October 2018 - High Angle Day.  Last day out there.  Short-range work will get shut down for this - because we would be DOWNRANGE of your target area, when we're up in the hills, shooting down...  For those that don't hike up the hill, you will only have the intermediate distance target to fire at.  600-ish yards.

Sometime after mid-day, we'll break down camp and head back to my house.  Matt flies out at 11pm Sunday night. I encourage all others that don't have tickets yet - fly out on Monday, 22 October 2018...  :thumbup:

We should impose a safety vest rule when going out past the 100 yard targets.

We don't want to be a statistic !

Radios and range masters...not a terrible idea. 

No fucking Range Masters out here.  Big Boy rules.  We'll have a bunch of new guys out here (Matt is bringing a CREW from NC), so there will be safety briefs, and unknowns will get monitored for a minute.  They adapt and conform. 

I'm not turning this thing into another static range with whistles and red/green paddles, "We're going COLD!!!  Place ALL weapons on the bench, unload and clear chambers, and step AWAY from the benches when people are downrange!!!..."  This isn't gonna be Rio Salado or Ben Avery here...

Fuk that.  That's not what this is about.  It's about responsible gun handling with responsible gun-handlers, and Big Boy rules.

The radios are for emergency communication, due to the distances on two events - long range day and high angle day.  When I'm up in the hills and get hit by a fucking hidden rattlesnake in the rocks, I want to be able to call down and tell you, "I just got smacked by a western diamondback rattler, right lower leg, I've applied a tourniquet below the knee, and bled the bite-site out.  Matt is helping me down.  Get a fucking truck ready and call EMS, have them meet us at the casino..."

Agree completely, but with that said, if you see something that's cause for concern, address it right away or get my attention and I will.

This dude right here is my main concern with comms - and why we need them.  :thumbup:  Not for calling a Cease Fire on the firing line, and making sure everyone shooting is safe...

Basic range safety is a must out here - it's imperative to what we do. Once we start questioning our own basic range safety protocols - we need to question the qualifications and skills of the people on our range. Our fundamentals are solid, and our people are solid.  That's the foundation that we need to maintain.

If someone is questionable - they get the boot.  It's only then that we'll need to use the commands of "Lock and clear all weapons and step behind the firing line.  Wait to get rodded off the range..."       At which point, we're done with them.

Anyone that fuks up out here and commits gross negligence and safety violations that threaten others - gets the Trouser Snake.

If you can't learn from the Trouser Snake, you'll be awakened to a brand new learning technique that you won't likely ever forget in your lifetime.  You'll be pummeled with the Purple 3ft Double Headed Jelly Dong until you can't even remember your own name...

I was thinking some first aid talk, I’m gonna be picking up one of those kits hear soon. But it’s pretty useless if I or others don’t know how to use it just some basic refresher stuff, 

We can go over as much as you want, brother, and do as much training as you want.  In a past life, I've been through a whole lot of first-response-type training, as well as much, much more.  We can do whatever you want, as far as that goes...

We don't do that.  It's just straight field castration here, bro.

That’s the same thing they put around my big toe on my right foot when they pulled my toe nail off with a pair of pliers
