392heminut Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Okay guys, I will be picking Josh up at 29 Palms on May 7th. and then on to his sister's at Casa Grande . Looks like the next day, Wednesday the 8th would be doable to meet at a range in the area and do some shooting. I have no idea where any ranges are around there so it would be up to you guys to figure that out. We will only be there through the weekend and time is somewhat tight. Josh will only have 19 days off before shipping out to Oki. and I know he would like to meet you guys and spend a little time at a range too. Lets see if we can work it out. Tom, you have my cell #, feel free to share it with anyof the other guys here. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sweet! Here's a map to the CG Trap & Skeet club. If you zoom out, you can see the pistol/rifle range for the public to the southeast a little ways, on the same road. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=103310863723491670974.00000113169a6715e3ce1&t=h&om=1&ll=32.807611,-111.726848&spn=0.002705,0.003219&z=17&source=embed Butts right up against those mountains there.

gsmopar Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I might be able to swing a Wednesday, but Thursday or Friday would be easier. I have been shooting at Rio Salado (http://www.riosaladosportsmans.com/) and indoor ranges with my handguns, but wouldn't mind trying the Casa Grade range. If you guys don't mind another stranger joining the group I'd love to get some experienced eyes on my .308. Later, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 More than welcome, my brother. Details will flow, through this thread, so plan accordingly. I'm positive we'll change things a couple times, but it'll still happen. Larry, I can't wait to meet Josh!!! Hell yeah!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Pssssshh... Plane ticket. PHX is the airport you're looking for, and flights are cheap from DCA (Reagan). I'll pick you up, and you don't even need to bring firearms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsmopar Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 392Heminut, I noticed the screen name! I can bring my old pig if we go to lunch or something somewhat close to my home in Gilbert after the range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 69 Charger! I would love to see it and so would Josh. I've got a 70 Cuda with a 5.7 Hemi in it that Josh laid claim to back when he was only 10. It used to have a 392 Chrysler Hemi in it, hence the user name.

Sorry to butt in I wish I could join.. MikeDaddyH can definitely answer that one for ya - he's got the entire east side of Phx WIRED! He knows where all the good shops are on that side of town. Big time. Shoot him a PM about it, with a link to this thread. Shoot it to his Dane Armory username, too - send it to both. He'll see one or the other. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Casa Grande range is one I want to try out. Heard we may be able to set up objects to shoot, I can bring Vera and a butt load of mags and ammo ! Will show you "how to" do a proper mag dump ! Just need to schedule it for the morning and early afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Casa Grande range is totally unmonitored. Surprised the hell out of me! The NW end is fenced off and used exclusively by local law enforcement but the rest is "keep it pointed at the berm towards the mountain" basically.

392heminut Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Update on Josh. He called us last night and said he received the 'Warrior' award, which is given to the one Marine in the company that shows the most qualities that the Marines stand for. He has been his platoon squad leader since he got there, and his guys told me he is the only one left of the original squad leaders. They also told me they have a lot of respect for him, he keeps them squared away at all times, but never talks down to them or anything. His sergeant told him he may get a promotion out of the award. If so, he will go into the fleet as a Lance Corporal. After Saturday night I'm a little surprised though, he was so drunk at 2230 hrs. formation that his sergeant put him in the back row and his buddies helped hold him up. His sergeant is pretty cool, and was at the bowling alley with us for a little while to help Josh celebrate his 21st. birthday. His buddies told me that he was not in any trouble though, he was 21 and was not told he couldn't drink, he just couldn't leave the base. They said as long as he made formation and answered when his name was called he was good to go. He told me the next day that he was OK in the bowling alley, but when he walked outside into the cool air things went south real fast.

I've had the car for over 20 years (I'm not young). However, I built most of it in my younger years so it doesn't have many creature comforts. >:D edit: Just read the reply above. The "young comment" was for Josh! Ya, I can't remember the last time I blew chunks from a night of over drinking...
