Fourth Annual Northeast Bloggershoot: Ordnance and Other Bits

If there's something in the G. armory that you'd like to try out, give a holler and I'll see if I can make room...

I'll be bringing food for all of the above, as well as to try out anything that might happen to be of interest. For the shotguns, I've got buckshot, slugs, and birdshot for various shotgun related activities that might arise. For targets, there will be paper, 2 liter bottles filled with water, orange clays, targets for Redneck Trap, and whatever else folks would like to bring. If someone could see to bringing a suitable victim for a bayonet charge that would be fantastic (since neither Lissa nor Borepatch will be attending this year *sniff*).

As an additional note, we have folks bringing full auto weaponry in .223 and 9mm that I am certain of, and I suspect that there may be .22LR as well. My personal feeling is that if someone is kind enough to lend me their firearm to shoot, I'm going to run factory brass-cased ammo through it - no reloads or steel-cased/corrosive/extra dirty ammo. Just my personal feelings; others can bring as they see fit - and those allowing the borrowing have final say in what gets fed to their babies...

I'm also bringing a table, chairs, and canopy for staging my arms as well as ammunition buckets for everything I'm bringing. I am a little on the OCD side (stop laughing) and have marked up all my magazines with my initials - not that I think anyone would walk off with something that wasn't theirs, but because, let's face it, a bunch of us have 1911s and AR-15s, and initials help avoid confusion. It's also a good idea to write down exactly how many of each time magazine you have when it's time to pack up.

Anyone that needs directions to the sooper seekrit range please send me an e-mail and I will oblige. Bring sunscreen and bug spray and prepare for any sort of weather - this is New England in August. It could be 105º and really humid; it could be 55º and drizzly raw. Bring your favorite firearm, any target you'd like so long as you're prepared to haul it back out, and, most of all, yourself.

Is Northeast bloggershoot. Is good.

That is all.
