Memphis Meet, Apr. 24 1PM till ?

[jay1313g]

I hated that I was running late and wasn't a part of the "meeting". I thought it might have been cancelled because of the weather when I couldn't find anybody when we first arrived.

It was nice to meet a few of you out on the range though. If I didn't get to meet you, I was down on lane #4 shooting with my sons. I didn't know if we'd have enough lanes for everyone so the wife sat in the restaurant, behind the glass, and the boys alternated shooting with me.

Hopefully, next time, I can be there in time to meet everyone. It was truly my loss!

1:00 it is.

And the avatar, that's from when my hair was a tad longer.

Don't know why you think you look goofy. Where did that come from?

Well, that and you apparently picked up some Visine...

Jay1313g: are you the one with the boy that had the 10/22 bullpup? If so, i loved that bullpup. That boy looked like he was having a good time.

[Guest jackdm3]

The boy was SERIOUS!

Jay1313g,

I saw you down there with the little one shooting. The wife and I were down on lane 12. I wished I could have talked to you and introduced myself. Glad you got to come out.

[jay1313g]

Yes. One of my sons was the one with the Bullpup. He cut yards last summer to earn the money to buy that stock. As I said from an earlier post, yesterday was his 12th birthday and he wanted to go to the range.

The first thing he wanted to shoot when we got there was my Kimber. He likes .45 but prefers 9mm. If I don't watch him closely, he'll burn through a couple hundred rounds in no time!

MemphisMason,

I'm assuming you were the one with the black Mason shirt on?

Here's the link for the BullPup if anybody is interested in one. It does use a rod to reach back and push the trigger so that makes the pull a little heavier but, it sure is fun when you add a 30 round magazine to it!

We were next to jay1313g in lane 3 and watched his son when he first started shooting. Was very impressed with his grouping. Hopefully next time we'll have more time to socialize.

[memphismason]

Yes sir, I was wearing a black shirt with my Lodges logo on the front left chest. I was happy to see the children out there. My wife and I talked about how we can't wait until our little girl is old enough to go shooting with us.

I think I just missed you guys due to fatherly duties (huh, huh ... he said "doody") of driving the kids around to get supplies for school projects. I made it up there around 4:30 or so. Still had a good time shooting, ofcourse. Even shoot a neigbors micro desert eagle, it bit me too much kick, not a lot of fun to shoot, and another neighbors Colt 1911, it bit me, but dead on accurate, just needs an extended beaver tail. Anyway, hope I can make the next meet.

Huh? I must have missed something.

[Guest dart67eb]

Huh? I must have missed something.

I'm trying to put together an Appleseed shoot in Como, MS for the early July timeframe.
