[TGO David]

WHEN: Saturday, July 18th, 2009. 11am - 2pm

WHAT: Middle Tennessee TGO Meet & Shoot

WHERE: Spring Hill, TN (Owl Hollow Shooting Range)

Cost to shoot as a guest is $5.00 per person. You must supply your own eye and ear protection, paper targets and target hanging materials.

Rifle lanes require a heavy duty stapler and cardboard to hang targets to the backstops. The handgun pit requires cardboard, stapler and/or heavy tape to hang targets from the backstop.

Recommend that you bring insect repellent and bottled water or soft drinks. Alcohol is not allowed! Weather dependent, also bring sunscreen and/or shoes that you don't mind getting muddy and dirty. This is an OUTDOOR range.

Directions To Owl Hollow Shooting Range

Range is located approximately 10 miles south of downtown Franklin, Tennessee in Williamson county. From I-65 South/North take the Peytonsville Road exit, #61; go West about .7 mile to the red light at South US 431 (Lewisburg Pike); turn South (towards Lewisburg) onto US 431 and go approximately 6.5 miles to Owl Hollow Road; turn west onto Owl Hollow Road; the range is located approximately 1.1 miles on the left side of the road.

Approximate GPS Coordinates for those with GPS devices: Latitude 35.7606 N ; Longitude -86.8571 W

*** There will not be an organized lunch connected to this month's get together ***

Important Update Regarding Owl Hollow:

As many of you know, the Owl Hollow Gun Club no longer has the lease for the shooting range. The range is now being run by the landowner. The landowner is fine with us continuing to meet there during the summer provided that we police ourselves and ensure that everyone is being safe and responsible.

Some changes that should be mentioned are:

There is now only the 25yd pistol pit. The short pistol pit has been closed down as of this writing. Only handgun calibers may be shot in the pistol pit. Centerfire rifle calibers may not. We did shoot some defensive shotgun (12ga) in the pistol pit yesterday and the owner did not appear to have a problem with that.

Full auto weapons are not allowed to be fired in full auto. If you have a full auto, you can bring it and shoot it but you have to stay in single fire mode.

Rapid firing is permissible as long as it is kept in 3-round, controlled strings. Bump firing is forbidden.

Anyone doing anything unsafe will be asked to leave. Period.

That's pretty much it. We will review these rules again on the day of the event just to make sure that there are no gray areas. It's imperative that we respect the wishes of the landowner if we want to be allowed to meet there again.

Look forward to seeing you guys there!

I have drill the 11th and 12th so the 18th works for me.

[musicman]

Could we PLEASE do one NOT on the 3rd Saturday?

I have a standing monthly obligation that I don't want to miss every 3rd Saturday, and I'd love to make another shoot. Plus, I've had the chance to make a bunch of ammo since the last time I made it to the range, so I've got a lot to burn up!

Majority will always rule. I'm sure someone could sub for you once at the charity facility if that's the only way you can make it.

Yep, we typically run up to September or October before the weather gets too chilly for scheduled events.

I won't be able to make it going to take the HCP course. I finally broke down and I am going. I am even buying me a pistol ( I am a rifle guy). I am picking up from a friend a Springfield XD Sub-Compact 40 with a bunch of extras.

[Wrangler]

I am going to try to be there and bring some friends. Hey what better way to get people to buy more guns then take them to a range with a bunch of other great people shooting.

Nice choice, shot one of those, really liked (better than my XDM .40 for some strange reason)

[Guest proudsuthrner]

if i sound like an idiot by asking this question, please forgive me lol. but we should bring our own ammo too, correct? i only mention that because it isnt on the list of items to "supply your own"

[ShaunM]

Yeah you have to bring your own ammo.

[ShaunM]

Well I hope everyone will have fun without me I know it will be hard but like I said I will be taking my HCP class .

[xd shooter]

[Guest proudsuthrner]

Yeah you have to bring your own ammo.
