Title: Redneck Thanksgiving Location: Near 5-mile Pass (view Google map) Description: Annual morning shoot-out to kick-off Thanksgiving day. Start Time: 7:00 Date: 2008-11-27 End Time: 12:00
Get ready for the annual “Redneck Thanksgiving” event. This started as a family event many years ago and I’d like to invite all club members to join us this year. We head out to an area near 5-mile Pass and spend the morning eating donuts, drinking hot cocoa, shoot rifles, handguns, and shotguns. The tradition is to bring something “fun” to shoot at — we’ve shot computers, laptops, monitors, and other fun things. Please, nothing that will blow-up or cause unsafe conditions But, feel free to bring targets, etc. We will plan to meet at the church parking lot at 6:50 a.m. I will distribute maps and we can hit the road by 7. Also, let’s plan to carpool where possible!
Does anybody have a clay-target thrower they can bring? I have a few boxes of clay targets and will bring those. I’m also going to bring some old computer parts (like a CD-ROM drive and monitor) for target practice. So… get creative and let me know if you have any questions.
Here are some pictures from a past event… enjoy and get your guns ready to go!
A few of us went over to the PG Sportsman club tonight and joined them for their range shoot. They have a great little facility that allows rim-fire rifles and most caliber hand guns with standard target loads. Their membership fee is $30 per year and only $25 if you’re an NRA member.
We shot at 25M range — a little long for handguns. Included is one of my targets; I’m pulling down and left with my shots. Looks like I need to relax my tension when squeezing the trigger.
We will try to keep announcing their upcoming range nights and other activities.
I heard there was some interest in putting on a concealed carry class for the club. If the price is right I might be interested. If there are several of us interested, we might be able to arrange it for somewhere in the neighborhood. If there is not that much interest, maybe we could just car pool.
If any of you can recommend someone that does such classes, let us know.
At the last gun show there was a guy doing a class with fingerprinting, fees and pictures for $50.
A few months ago I joined the Pleasant Grove Sportsman’s Club. They have an indoor range in the basement of the Lions Club Building. Nothing fancy but they provide hearing and eye protection, targets and the price is right at $30 a year. Thought we might attend a meeting as a club and check it out?
