This sounds great. I'm going for sure. Any limitations on firearms? Rifles ok?

[Ruger]

No pot luck dinner or carrot cake?

We will only be shooting on One of the Pistol Ranges, Hand Guns only.

[pgaplayerless]

Pistol caliber rifles ok? SMGs ok?

[mikeb32]

I have provided a link to Firing Lines Web-Site to the post as they can probably handle any questions you may have better than yours truly, about ammo, or other questions you may have.

[Fuzzbutt]

The map on their website is still messed up. Google still has their old building . The new location is at http://mapq.st/1bXWc8M North side of Ford road just west of Venoy.

[mikeb32]

Thanks Fuzz...I am editing the post as I think of more pertinent info.

[Cocowheats]

I'll have to see if I have time to make it. It's hard to turn down free indoor range time this time of year!

[Pyzik]

Awesome! This is my favorite shoot of the year.

I'll be there. Likely TWO in tow. I'll update if that changes.
Also, I'll bring something to pass around. :naughty: :D

EDIT: If it matters the two I am bringing, one is actually a member (rpiactk (http://www.migunowners.org/forum/member.php?u=36450)) and the other is his "plus one".

[dmd7765]

Ill be there, nobody in tow, just me

[sse]

Are RSO's needed...?

[mikeb32]

If it gets you there......Yes!!....In all Honesty, yes they will be needed.

What would you rather do, hobnob with the boss or come shooting with us?!?!

Will miss seeing you. Maybe there'll be a change or something.

[gjgalligan]

Just an FYI for all of you,

12/20 is the last regular scheduled work day for most auto workers. A lot of them like to party that day. A few on the job but most (that party) jam the bars afterwards. Lots of of other people join in on the partying.

Be careful on the roads!

Haha, When I thought it would be the weekend after Christmas it would have fell on my 10yr high school reunion. I would have went shooting.

[xusmc9296x]

In!

[Kaeto]

I just wish The Firing Line didn't have that ban on unjacketed lead ammo. Because two of the guns I have that's all they can use.

[Eriequiet]

I'm in,
I still need to help out as a rso since you guys did the free class

I need to get more active on this forum, it's just setup all kinda goofy

[mikeb32]

Eh, you're just used to the "other" forum. You'll get used to it.

[Eriequiet]

Do I need to let anyone know I can work as a rso?
Or did you ready sign my up pyzik?

On the bright side, it will make for a much shorter BOD meeting! :)

[dragonGTR]

On another note, Congratulations to Carl T. (See Tee) our Activities Chairman, for winning the MGO Gun of The Year, a S & W AR 15

For those of you that don't know Carl, He is the one who heads up most of our Events, and IMHO is one of the Hardest working Members we have in the Organization, and Nobody deserves this award more than Carl. Shoot Straight Buddy, you know you may have had better results with the Blue Gun!!!!!
( I couldn't resist)


Winners of the Benefit4Kids tickets are as follows:

WSM300Rich

Kilt Guy

Thanks........................Mike

[Magnum Man]

Congratulations to Carl and the rest of the winners.

[travisthared]

I had a great time at the fun shoot. :thup: It was the first one I attended and all I can say is, why did I wait so long. I'm definitely going to try and attend future shoots. Everyone was very nice and quite a few offered me to shoot their guns. So naturally I had to take them up on that. :biggrin:

[mikeb32]

Nice to meet you Travis.........Stick around, we enjoyed your company and your work ethic!!...Thanks for helping out!...........Mike

THIS is what MGO is about. Although you were far from a new shooter the sharing attitude IS MGO and one would never know from the forum.:cheers:

By the way THANK YOU for all the work you guys did on the inventory BEFORE you went to the range.

[elwarpo]

I enjoyed it also. It was nice to meet (or remeet) everyone.

[XDM 40 cal]

Nice to see everyone...

Range went well...And everyone got time to shoot...:biggrin:

[Jackam]

pics anyone????

[Kilt Guy]

Congratulations See Tee :ar15: :woohoo1: and THANKS for the B4K tickets.

[Pyzik]

Gongrats, Carl! As much as I wanted it, you do deserve it.

I had fun, good to see folks again.

[Ruger]

No pic's? :scratch:

[cmike]

It was a blast.:pistols:

[sse]

Missed it...next time...

Does the MGO have "MGO RSO" hats available yet...????

[mikeb32]

No, but I will check on that after the Holidays.

[SeeTee]

Finely starting to recover and get caught back up with the forum!

Where to start?

Our Host's
A BIG thanks to Tommy, Don & Grant of the Firingline (and their staff ) and for the Great plug they did for MGO on their new radio show and for hosting our Holiday fun shoot once again.! And an extra thanks for letting us into the room early to take care of much needed task's.

Our members,
A big thanks to Tom, Travis & Dave who came out 3 hours early of the fun shoot to do much needed inventory and sorting of MGO merchandise (650 ) items along with getting the room set for the event, you guy's did a great job!

Thank you to Beth, Jackie & Carrie for taking care of much needed tasks.

Thank you to the BOD who never have an easy job, but keep trying to do the best for MGO.

Thank you to the RSO's, some experienced hands and some from this year's the new class, Will, Dave, Mike, Jake good job keeping everything smooth on the firing line.

Thank you to those who attended,
We had 30+ members & guests at the event, along with long time members, it was great to welcome some new faces that came on out to see what the people part of MGO is all about, I did get a chance to briefly talk with some of you, it is just the way it goes at an event that you miss somebody, hopefully we will see you at another MGO event! If not for the weather I am sure we would have had more people there.
There is nothing like a FTF get together, we really do get along! More people need to get out to a MGO event and away from the forum, they would be surprised of what a good time they have been missing out on.

Pictures, yep that is something we miss at times, with so much going on, getting pictures is one item that gets lost, well I did get two pictures, but I would not want to scare anybody away by posting them.

Congratulations to all the B4K ticket winners, have a great time at the banquet for a great cause and the best of luck to you all in the drawings!

The blue gun, great gag! Who ever thought of it :thumbup: you know Mike I wonder if blue gun ammo is cheaper and shoots straighter then the shiny brass colored ones!

And let's not forget Santa, who took time out from his busy schedule this time of the year to stop in and check in on MGO!

I wish everyone a safe and Happy Holiday Season!

Thanks again to you all,

Carl aka SeeTee

[Pyzik]

Sounds like you all had fun. Congrats Carl.

My wife and I were scheduled to come, even had the kids doing a sleep over but work got in the way.

Next time for sure.

Is there another MGO (Michigan Gun Owners) Facebook page that I'm unaware of? Cuz if there isn't there are no pics to be found at https://www.facebook.com/migunowners
