So the more or less uffishal East Tennessee Knox-area contingent of TGO is having a shoot this Saturday around 1 pm at the Norris range.

Let's get a roll-call.

Anyone have about a 4lb sledge hammer they can bring?

[kwe45919]

and of course,

Smail: "how do you measure youself against other golfers? " ( referring to Ty not keeping score)

Webb: "By height"

Ah yes, Ty is right up there with the great philosophers.

I'm still waiting on my allowance, Dad.

That's why I feel like....somebody's watching me.

[bubbiesdad]

I plan on being there.

[Garufa]

Don't you have anything clever or witty to say like the rest of the wisenheimers?

OK, I'll bring my un-pu$$ified Mosin along.

Oh Snap!

[Motasyco]

I'm in. Sorry, I've already used up my witty for the week.

[Mike.357]

I will bring my Mosin and the kotex that fits on it

[Guest BigJ45]

You all should come out to ORSA tomorrow. We are having big production / single stack match.

[Garufa]

You all should come out to ORSA tomorrow. We are having big production / single stack match.

I really do want to try that out sometime. Need to study on the gear and what to start with.

Plus most of us are shooting a whole different kind of "single stack" tomorrow. Like 5 rimmed .30 cals.

[Guest cwi555]

Hey are we going to shoot again, should we start planning another shoot and location. I am getting the itch. Ammo is readily available again. cept .45acp so I wont be shooting pistols. But I wanna shoot my other ones. Plus I wanna play show and tell again. Depending on the range maybe I can get Chris to bring the .50 again.

I can set you up with some 45acp if you need it.

[Oh Shoot]

Another extremely enjoyable time at funky ole Norris today.

Motasysco and BlackBeltChick brought lots of armament, thanks so much for the shots with the Carcano. Besides the historic nature of it, it's really a much sweeter shooter than I had imagined.

BlackBeltChick shook down her new RIA, and lemme tell ya, any bad guy that crosses her is gonna get accurately stiched with that heater, she can indeed shoot it!

Mike brought estimated 125lb 1" steel plate, and unlike the 1/4", we had nothing do more than stongly dimple it. 125 yard trek with dolly to set it up. I was impressed, though I think maybe we should have EMT present in future. Perfect setup system for it is evolving.

It only took three of us + a section of rebar + 10 minutes to open a big tin of the Czech ammo for the Mosins. My car is not put together as solidly as that ammo tin.

Watched FtnCityFatBoy pepper same nice grouping with my XD 9 SC as he did with his XD 9 Service, so I'd imagine there's a subbie in his future.

Garufa helped me sight in my scope on the mighty Plinkster (pretty clear he's our best shot) and now glad I went high end on the scope - the $16.95 was well worth it.

My new Marlin 1894 .357 continues to be a joy; even in my unsteady hands with open sights, can pepper a plate at 50 yards pretty well, and it does better with bipod or in hands of real shooter of course.

Most senior fellow there was gentleman with a neat variety of .22 stuff including that German machine gun pistola, three letter German company G__? (see edit at bottom). Nifty indeed. He was most impressed with my Hi-Tech Hi-Point NBR (Naughty Black Rifle) and when he learned it was only 200 clams, vowed to get one.

And anyone who has Butler Creek steel lipped long mags for Ruger 10/22: I ran all four mags with the WallyWorld Federal bulk .22 flawlessly so that's now the official ammo for that.

And that's the report from Lake WoeBegone ...

edit: the "machine gun" pistol I couldn't think of is the GSG:

Had a great time as usual. Thanks to everyone who let me enjoy their fine weapons!

I just took one of my boots off. A .22 shell fell out.

Yours has the factory stock correct?? Not the ATI stock like mine?? Can't remember if I saw it when we were at BigJ45's place or not........I know I didn't bring mine that day but I will next time.
