Norris - New Years Eve

[Bubbatn]

I think me and OhShoot are gonna try to get together at Norris next Friday(New Years Eve), provided we have decent weather. Just thought I would post it up in case anyone would like to join us.

I am also thinking about trying to get down there this weekend(off work thursday-monday...obviously can't do it on Sat.) possibly if I can find some company, if anyone would like to join me...let me know.

no can do on New Years Eve.

everyone needs to get their drink on and I have to work to supply it.

New Years Eve is a workie day for me and the wifey so that's a no go and this weekend isn't available either. I'm itchin to go for sure.....maybe Sun Jan 2nd.....

[Jon_L]

If I'm off that night I'll surely hit it up. Not for long, I'm planning on getting tanked that night.

[Erik88]

I could possibly go that morning. If the weather is nice. I don't feel like shooting in the cold though so we'll just have to check the weather and see.

[Bubbatn]

If I do go, It will be earlier during the day, won't be planning on staying til dark or anything.

Also, Doesn't look like i'll be able to go this thursday, my boss just asked me if I would care to come in an answer the phones Thursday Morning til about noon(with OT pay of course since no one else will be here)....so I hated to turn that down.

[Bubbatn]

If the weather holds true, Looks like Friday could be a pretty nice shooting day. Supposed to be cloudy, but warm(mid-50's). Hoping to make it down if nothing comes up.

[Jon_L]

That weather sounds great. Looks like I'll finally be able to break in my AR (anybody want to help? )

[BrasilNuts]

I may try and go just to meet some new faces.... to shoot too of course. I haven't ever been there and don't have a membership.

So what time are you guys talking about? I'm wide open.

I'll probably try to get there around 9-10(ish). Look forward to meeting you!

Just go by the Norris PD and pick up your key(and pay the $40) and your set until next July.

[Oh Shoot]

I'm going to try and make it Friday morning. Just depends on when this guys is coming to look at my Foosball table. I'll try to be there around 10 since I'll have to leave for work by 3ish.

I've also never sighted it in, so hopefully I'll learn a thing or two about the platform. I think I'll buy a couple hundred spare rounds, just in case.

What's the adress to this place? Can't find any info. Or will the PD tell me where to go?

They'll tell you where to go, then they'll give you directions to the range.

Jon L,

The Range is on Upper Clear Creek Rd.

The phone number for the Norris PD is 865-494-0880.

They will give you directions/map when you go to get your pass.

Pay close attention its easy to miss.

TGO, I may try to go Friday late AM early PM.

A friend has invited me to go shooting sometime this week and I'll see if he wants to go do this at Norris Friday.

I got my Pass a couple of weeks ago and hope to use it often between now and next July.

If things work out I hope to see a few of you there.

[BrasilNuts]

I can't make it...gotta work.

[Garufa]

I will most likely be there.

[Mike.357]

If I can slide out of work by noon or so I will come up. I want to put some rounds downrange with the 03-A3.

It will kind of be wait and see.

[Jon_L]

I figured the maintenance guys would be done with the shower tiles by today, but it looks like they'll be finishing up tomorrow. And I need to be home for this. I'll really try to make it, fellas.

[Red9MM]

Alas things did not work out and I won't be able to go.

As a consolation I'll be going to the Gun Show @ Chilhowee on Saturday AM with my soon to be Son-in Law.

Hope all who can make it to Norris Friday have a safe and enjoyable time.

And Best wishes for a Happy New Year in 2011 to Alll on TGO.

I am going to try to go around 1o:30 or 11. I got a new scope for a .22 that I need to sight in.

[Jon_L]

I'll be there around noon, 1 o'clock. I'll be the tall guy in the OD ballcap.

Well, I survived the New Year's Eve shoot at Norris. The place was utter chaos. Must have been 50 people there for the 8 benches on the rifle side and 2 on the pistol side. Folks tripping over each other to get a shot in.

Regardless, had a good time.

Near the end of the day when the crowd was thinning some manic bird dog showed up running apey all over both ranges. Up and down the berm between the two, up the ridge behind the back stop. Over and over and over in great big circles. Must have wandered up into the hills hearing the gun shots and thinking it needed to retrieve something. Dog was confused.

OS finally lassoed it and got a hold of the owner who came and picked the insane beast up.
