The Fall Session is 5 days, and is Thursday through Monday. The price is super steep. It always costs the same - Free-Fiddy-Free. Just show up to the desert in South Central AZ. So, the cash outlay is whatever it takes you to get here, then camp in the desert for 4 or 5 days. Breakfast and dinner are provided. We love to cook. Lunch is on you - whatever you like to do for that. The heavy price that you have to pay is the mental and psychological damage, afterwards. You'll see shiit out here that you've never seen before, do some things that you never thought were possible, and it's probably gonna impact you, long-term... We're not responsible for any counseling that you have to go through later in life due to attending. We're also not responsible for any marriage counseling that you need to attend, after your return, when your significant other notices that "you're different now..." Not on us... Lol. I am getting up there in age so no long term issues really to worry about as I am already there (lol). The wife also has dealt with both my carrer choices and the fall out from that as well. Psychologically, been married for long enough that Im pretty much bullet proof. Awesome deal on the price sir and will definetly make the trek out there. I am in the middle of middle age life choices and one is moving/having older cars that might not be up to the task, so maybe I will rent something. I will look at the fall season for sure (hopefully from a closer state). Looking forward to some challeneges that I havent yet done (or tried) except jumping out of a perfectly good airplane or chopper. (Go figure, I was in an air assault unit and dont trust aircraft or parachutes) The food sounds awesome, hopefully some good AZ BBQ. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) There has not been an air drop training at the STDF as of yet. Maybe @98Z5V could get the Dillon Aero guys to fly their helicopter over the mountain for a fast-rope exercise followed by a shooting course. As for food, I have usually smoked some pork butt (in Texas) and made pulled pork for the first night in the desert in AZ. It's just one small part of the great food that is always available.

Pilots are awesome at taking off, but landings are nothing more than controlled crashes. Tell you what, pilots - get this fucker off the ground, give me a good airspeed, and let me the fuk out of this thing - I'll control my own landing. Jumping out of flying aircraft is the very best thing that you can do - with your clothes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know two people that might be able to do something, but it's a long-shot on whether they'd run something like that onto BLM land. Okay, 3 people. I know the Range Master at Dillon. I know the guy that runs the airfields around here for Navy HALO training. the 3rd person is - I know the BLM LEO that's in charge of this area that we shoot on. That would be putting alot together, 2 of the 3 dudes already know each other. If anyone if Fast Roping anything, I wanna be the one in the bird, as the Fast Rope Master. I'm putting them out. Putting something like this together, and actually pulling it off, would be more complicated than controlling a Pachinko ball down through it's course to the bottom. I'll give it a shot, though, and reach out. I need to check with Dillon first - see what their policies are, off-range. That's Range Master Skip. His wife just LOVES @Rsquared...

She kept thinking that I was gonna crack, and come to start liking her before the night was done. I kept reaffirming her that I would most certainly NOT. When the night was done, with gun pusher Jon puking on Kate's chair and all. I was right after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the night that @JBMatt thought I was dead. We rode some people hard that night. I went backwards into a railroad tie, and Matt thought I was done. I was fine, not even a leak, no blood. There was a dent in that railroad tie, from my head, though... "Who brings a CHAINSAW to the DESERT?!" says Skip's wife... I DO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT303 Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 This "fun time you all have had" sounds about halfway between a jackass movie and Black Hawk Down (Or maybe Full Metal Jacket).

I promise you, if you accept the invitation to come, you will find that it actually isn't comparable to anything you've ever experienced. You'll feel like people who've walked on the moon, it's just impossible to effectively describe what it is without actually having participated. We do AARs to share highlights and whatnot, but there's nothing that can compare with the hilarity and excitement of experiencing it in person, and I guarantee you anyone who ever attended will attest to that fact. All that to say, you've already wasted too much time on not coming, you need to be there for the Fall Shoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 On the drive back home after attending my first Fall Shoot I was already planning my trip back for the upcoming Spring Shooot. Covid put a pause into that but now back on schedule The stories, the pictures while great don't give you the full experience. It's kinda like the difference between watching a cooking show vs being in the kitchen sampling the food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Watch this interview. Long Distance is just a math problem. It takes awhile in the interview to get to that, but when you hear it - you'll know I'm correct on this. I've preached it for years. Nerd Magic. Run the math.

Magwa Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 That was a great interview, what a down to earth guy he is Killing has a way of getting under the skin and it is personal I know for me as a young man i wanted to provide for the family and hunting was the way i chose but in my later years the killing became more spiritual if that makes sense, i don't like the killing part but i understand it is part of the circle of life and sometimes necessary... thanks for sharing this i need to learn Nerd magic...

98Z5V Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Brother, once you have that math stuck in your head, it's literally easy. I'm serious. Accurate gun, accurate ammo, no loose nut behind the trigger... solve those, and it's just a math problem after that. One thing I noticed in that vid above - this dude is shooting a .308 Win Knight's M110. He obviously JUST pulled the trigger -the brass is still flying out of the ejection port... Why is his firing eye closed?! Recoil Sensitive, he needs to fix that shiit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
