I can't take all the credit for funding it though; Alex put up a big chunk also.

David thanks for posting the videos, I think. I am deffinetly going to be up there this week working on my steel skills. The damn 9mm just doesn't have the right amount of energy to push the steel over unless you hit it on the outermost edge. That and I get race anxiety that causes me to miss.

Federal 9BPLE. It's +p+ and amazing for the price. Should give you the oomphf you need for the plates. Paypal sent, no reason you guys should have to pay the tab.

The GTG was epic. You guys are a blast to shoot with, and really friendly. Looking forward to doing it again. Although my nose and throat are raw from inhaling pounds of spent powder!

Thanks a ton, Keith! That was awesome of you to put it together.
Great to meet those I hadn't met before, and to see the ones I had again.
Thanks for letting me run a mag through the MAC, Alex. That thing is sweet! And thanks to whoever said "Scott can be on the zombie team!".
It was good to see that the suppressor for the XD seems to have worked its issues out.
I have a pretty wicked headache today, not sure if it was from the multiple concussions of the 454/500 firing, or from inhaling all of the lead and gunpowder. Either way...totally worth it.

And big thanks to the staff at Shoot Smart, they were beyond accommodating and just downright cool.

Scott that was me who said that.

Keith, I agree with Matt and David that we need to figure out a way to compensate you for this. I thought we were gonna split it up when we got there, and then got carried away shooting.

I totally forgot. Sorry to flake.

I was wondering where you were. Been a "few" years since we've chatted in person that is.

Well, I must say that this was a blast (pun intended).

Keith, you are too kind my friend. I too would gladly pony up a few coins to help pay for that, I know it wasn't cheap. I really had a great time though - Thanks man!

I wish I could have made the beer run afterward with you guys but Mary was on her way home and I needed a little time with her.

It was great meeting you guys that I had not met yet too. Bunch of good people for sure! Also glad you guys had fun with the 500. Hell of a hand-cannon for sure. Pete, bring the 454 again next time with some "hot" loads. I'll bring some 500grn for the Howitzer and we'll knock some walls down. lol I hope some of the vids show the crap falling off the ceiling when those two guns were fired. Crazy! When you said "you ain't got a nut one if you don't rapid fire that 500", I thought - challenge accepted, and pumped out the last four rounds as quick as I could. By the third round, the light fixture above me fell apart and started dropping parts. Either that or it was broken teeth from the guy who said his teeth rattled after shooting it.

Yale, wish you and CJ could have made it. Hopefully next time.

Matt, that 636 is a real gem. I've made my mind up that that's the wheel gun I'm going to get. Same version. Trade for a vintage S&W .22? lol
Thanks for letting me shoot it man.

Guys, I've got a few vids from my [old] iPhone. I'll see if I can get them uploaded.

Thanks again Kieth!

You know u had a good time when 2 hours felt like 20 minutes.

Thanks Keith, but it was not necessary for u to pay for the range. I didn't see any gubment check gettin' folks in the group.

I will post a more verbose reply later, but I'm headed to a U16 hockey game.

Wharz pic of my ice cream cone????

[DieselSmoke]

Sounds like a great time, to bad I missed.

[Moose242]

Guys that was a great gtg! It was good to put some faces to names and be able to play with everyone else's toys. We must definitely do that again. We had a great group and I felt like everyone was safe and had enough range time to themselves. The staff was very hospitable as well.

Thanks to Keith for letting me shoot his suppressed 9, I have never done that before. Also, I am not sure whether I should thank or insult Adam and David for letting me shoot their uber revolvers . The saiga 12 was neat too, and I was really impressed with the accuracy while shooting slugs. Also, big thanks to David for letting me destroy his m16! Lastly, because of Matt I think I need a new wheel gun, I have always wanted a nice one and I think I may be in the market soon.

I must say that one of the high points of the night though was, "Hey Keith, check the chamber on the FS2000. :trollface:"

[KBScobravert]

Matt has some good video also of the gal from the range shooting the 454 and a bunch of us shooting the .500.

It was nice to meet all you guys.
