[xd shooter]

EDIT: what day?? SAT or SUN??

Same place Old Owl Hollow range

11:00 to 2:00 Official TGO time. If you want to stay longer or show up earlier you need to take it up with Charlie.

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!!

The usual rules & direcyions.

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.

As Fallguy said, Oct 17th is the Second or None celebration hosted by Barrett Firearms, Outpost Armory and TGO. Maybe the 18th is a better option?

[Westwindmike]

I have to agree. The 18th would be better. We need to really support the Second or None event.

[xd shooter]

OK my bad I got the dates mixed upm (I'm bad with dates). I have to agree with ya. I will be there too.

Mike we pulled Sunday last month & got 3 TGO'ers. Thought to go with Sat this time.

[Westwindmike]

Saturday works for me. Remember the gun show in Williamson Co on the 10-11th.

[Guest JHatmaker]

This may be one of the last few months of the year for a Mid-TN meet and shoot. Next weekend is the only time I could make it. Got 2nd or None (and Alabama's homecoming for me) on the 17th; Bama v UT on the 24th (I'll be there); and then Halloween.

How about we have it on the 31st and everyone has to wear a costume??

[Westwindmike]

You know, this football stuff can sure mess up a good shoot.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Unless.....we could set up a tailgate at the range with a BBQ going and a flat-screen w/ Directv. Now that would be perfect!

[Westwindmike]

Maybe David will bring some more Zombie targets if we shoot on Halloween!

[Guest JHatmaker]

I got a ton myself, I'll bring them next time.

[Guest Schmootika]

Can't make it this weekend and the next I will be at the Second or None thing with my little one. Damnit....and I wanted to put some holes in some zombie targets.

[Westwindmike]

So what about it. Is Halloween the day?

Jason, can you put up a poll or something for the 31st?

[xd shooter]

Yea I have to agree i guess we need a poll after all. I'm game for any day!!!

[TGO David]

I'm down for a November shoot but I won't likely be able to make it in October. Quite literally every single weekend this month is already committed to something else.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Jason, can you put up a poll or something for the 31st?

Wish I could, but I can only work my magic in the Handguns forum.

David, would you be so kind to create a poll asking if folks would show up for a Halloween shoot? Thanks!

[TGO David]

Poll added.

[Westwindmike]

Ok, I'll be there with a guest. See you all there.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Poll added.

[Guest Tiny G]

Would be fun, but since I have 4 kids with a birthday on that day I'll have to miss it!

yep, you heard me . . 4 of 'em (and they all turn 8)

[Guest Tiny G]

[Westwindmike]

So, is anybody planning on coming this Saturday? Or will it be just 3 of us again? Who is playing football this weekend?

[xd shooter]

This thought crossed my mind today.

Mike maybe we should bring lots of guns to keep us busy.
