I will be there this time!  I couldn't make it last time because I ended up having duty.  :/  I have that day off.  FINALLY!!!  I look forward to seeing you guys there!

aloha doc_k
check your pms

Thanks dirty, if anything, I'll look forward to trying to get out there during the open shoot, so don't worry about me if you can only open up one slot. 

By the way, I've never been to one of these before.  What's the usual dress code?  Santa got me a belt, holster, and a couple of double decker TACO pouches this year.  Do folks carry a sidearm along with a long gun during the shoot?  How much ammo should people expect to bring? 

Thanks again!

long pants, closed shoes, eyes and ears, hat/sunscreen, fluids
yes, sidearm, belt holster, mag carriers

go slow and ask people for tips if this is your first time with a holster and mag carriers
RSOs/ROs may be watching you carefully if you haven't attended before
in actuality everyone there is a safety officer, so watch everyone else too
be safe and have fun!

Are you saying that it's OK to have a sidearm, or that it's needed for the morning's courses of fire?  I wasn't planning on packing the extra weight.

ok but no promises I going fit it. Damn holiday season

That was good fun today during the open shoot.  It was nice to meet Doc_K, Macsak, and a few others.  I wish I could have stayed longer.  Thank you guys for organizing these events and hope to see you at the next one!

PS, dang does ammo go fast...

All,

Great shoot, great day and great people. It's been a while since my rifle and I have danced and even longer since I've had to clear a FTF (it showed).  Anyway, thanks for letting an old operator hang out with you young operators.

Big mahalo to all RSO's and organizers.  HDF rocks!
Now its rifle cleaning time...
