Hey Matt are you qualified enough for a sig line like that? Just asking ...

We shall see

[HOGNUT]

Hey Matt, do you need a flashlight to find a reply for that!!!!

I am just the messenger(gsbell's voices are in my head). I really need to get off the phone with him.....LOL

[Trekbike]

You are just not quite right in the head

Assuming that the President of MCTS is an elected position, you guys are the ones that voted him in, so what does that say about the rest of you??

[HOGNUT]

Happy and always fun to be around.

I shot my first match at 59 and got hooked. MCTS members welcomed my adult kids and they got hooked as well. Don't let a late start discourage you. I even got a knee replacement so I can keep up with the kids and shoot the shotgun I got for Christmas. See you in Dickson!

Dave I look forward to seeing you at the match. I will promise once you try it you will be hooked.

[Guest DavTN]

Thanks for putting this together. I have read through all the materials and even practiced some of the dry fire drills. I think those 20 yards shots are going to be interesting, but I plan on being there and bringing a buddy.

[HOGNUT]

It is our pleasure! We want people to enjoy themselves. A person feeling welcomed and learning from other experienced tactical or competition shooters is what we strive for after safety.

.... Speaking of targets, I know you can order some online, but can you buy any locally?

I saw some for sale at the Lebanon Gun Shop last month. Give them a call and check if they still have them.

^^^^^ Thanks, I'll give them a call. I was trying to snag some locally for hopefully practicing this weekend.

Charlie,

You ready to start run'n & gun'n again? Be good to see you back on the range.

+100.

This is pretty much how it happened for me, lanes are better suited for bowling...

If you don't find any, I have a stash of them and I'll give you a couple. PM me and we'll figure out where to meet up.

Thanks for the offer. The guy on the phone said they do have some so I'll try to get by there maybe after work on Friday.

Kyle,

It was great speaking with you earlier tonight. I hope you and your daughter come out to the match and meet & greet. If you need any equipment, I am always available to discuss. You will be more than welcome to it for the match.

[HOGNUT]

Based on the emails and phone calls barring any acts of God with the crappiest weather, TGO members there should be 50 plus people to meet.

Speaking of that, do you ever cancel an event because of weather or do you shoot regardless?

[HOGNUT]

We have only cancelled one match due to weather. It happened during the floods last year. As long as lightning is not present and people are not falling down, we shoot.

[HOGNUT]

I was asked today about the duration and agenda of the day's events: Registration will be from 8 AM to 8:45. We will have a special new shooter's meeting at 8:45 with multiple safety officers depending on the turnout. We will start with rounds downrange after the all shooters' meeting. Individuals will squad up with a safety officer and will be with that person for the duration of the day's events(for example: if we have 40 shooters there will be 4 squads - 50 equals five squads and so forth). With the 7 shooting bays setup for the Intro match there should not be any backup/waiting by any squad. Whether it be 50 or 70 or more shooters we will still be finished around 12:30 that afternoon.

There will be experienced shooters shooting in the squads so please ask them any questions or assistance they can provide to make yourself better. There will be a man vs man steel free side match after the Intro match. For those that do not wish to participate in the man vs man side match there will be experienced shooters running through stages and a basic competition shooting clinic.

I am excited for the opportunity in presenting our club and the sport to everyone!

My anticipation level is high. This sounds great.

Fingers crossed for nice weather!!!

[Guest Jcochran88]

I am going to try to make it out also.

[Guest gw2and4]

Sounding more and more awesome, even for an experienced MCTS attender like myself. Barring any unforeseen events of the bad persuasion, I'll be there along with one or a few new shooters. There may even be a wheelgun sighting in my holster.

[JPS]

Maybe I'm just tired, but I can't find a location in this thread.. Where the heck will the Feb 5th event be located?
