[pgaplayerless]

How they feel about steel jacketed ammo?

[Joeywhat]

No steel jacket ammo. I don't think they allow steel case, either.

They do have ammo for sale at the shop, I don't know the prices.

[Tallbear]

Fill Out, Print, and sign the Registration Application (http://www.firinglineguns.com/pdfs/RegistrationApplication.pdf)* needed to shoot at the range.

[fotophocus]

I'd love to go, but I'm always out of town for Christmas

[mikee1973]

We will have the range starting at 6pm on Friday the 26th of December.

Friday is the 25th, Saturday is the 26th...

That or he wants to have the range and all the food to himself :rofl:

[Joeywhat]

If you're bringing food let me know so it gets posted...that way everyone doesn't bring the same thing :mrgreen:

[wwjmaj]

Will be there with the sugar free cherry crisp of the past for the diabetics (wife) in the crowd.

[Garbo]

You're bringing that cheesecake right? :banana:

[Alton]

Joeywhat, PM sent.

Rob

[Joeywhat]

You're bringing that cheesecake right? :banana:

Even better...a Snickers cheesecake.

And I might even fire up the oven for a Black Forest cherry cake as well...

[Ruger]

Even better...a Snickers cheesecake.

And I might even fire up the oven for a Black Forest cherry cake as well...

Joey can we have the recipe for that cheese cake? :brow:

[Joeywhat]

No but you can reverse engineer it at the shoot ;)

[dougwg]

No but you can reverse engineer it at the shoot ;)
But will you have a handgun with a flashlight attached ot it?

[fbuckner]

[Joeywhat]

[fotophocus]

But will you have a handgun with a flashlight attached ot it?

Do you have a CPL? :brow:

[MarkoPo]

Can you tell us about the range? Is it indoor/outdoor, lighted, heated..etc. Any range fees? Location would also be good to know. Thanks!

Indoor range here's the website...

Edited to add.... Mike you are quick.

[Joeywhat]

The range is covered by MGO, so all you need are guns, ammo and an empty stomach.

[johnzilla]

Can you tell us about the range? Is it indoor/outdoor, lighted, heated..etc. Any range fees? Location would also be good to know. Thanks!

Indoor range. Heated, though I was there last night for a league shoot and it was kinda chilly. Well lit. With enough persuasion they might be convinced to turn off the lights for some low light shooting.

16 lanes, 25 yd. Pistol caliber carbines welcome. According to the signs posted on each lane: no Wolf/Russian, no 100% lead except .22LR.

Extensive rental selection.

As mentioned above, no range fees the night of the event, courtesy of MGO.

If this open to associate members or just contributing? if so I get off at 7 that day so I would get there by 730 is that cool?

[Joeywhat]

Open to everyone, come by anytime.

[mullinsn2000]

Open to everyone, come by anytime.
Joe, are we going to be able to buy ammo there if needed? Not sure if they are going to close the registers or stay open for sales from our members.

[Greggos]

Anyone from Royal Oak/Mad.Heights that area want to go??

[Joeywhat]

You can buy ammo there.

[Greggos]

Yah having 32 bags of chips there would be a clearly limited diet.


If you're bringing food let me know so it gets posted...that way everyone doesn't bring the same thing :mrgreen:

[dhrith]

Well hell, if you're covering the range I'll be game for this. Give me a bit to think up some foods or drink or food and drinks.

[intheburbs]

I thought lane 8 was the big bore lane where you could shoot larger calibers? We were shooting my 500 last year.

[Joeywhat]

Might be, I really don't know...I thought it was .44 mag and lower but didn't check.

If you know they allow it then bring it out. It's the same range rules as every other day.

[Tallbear]

Might be, I really don't know...I thought it was .44 mag and lower but didn't check.

If you know they allow it then bring it out. It's the same range rules as every other day.

Just make sure Tommy knows we need the high power land so he reserves that side of the range.

[dhrith]

I could see people going both ways on this, but Ill mention it anyways and let each decide for themselves. It might behoove people to list what they can bring and are willing to let others shoot so 28 people don't show up with Beretta 92f's.


Guns I'll almost for sure bring


8" S&W 460
milspec operator
6" mkIII trooper
and a 9mm feg(hi power clone)

Doubt I'll cart out any carbines.
Welllll, maybe my galil. I haven't shot that turd in awhile and I can fold it up small enough.

As for food, I can bring 3 or 4 loaves of homemade bread and some sarsaprilla. Maybe if I'm feeling real froggy I can cook up some homemade ice cream.


Oh yeah, something I'd like to shoot if someone has one is a bobtailed 45. Pretty sure I'd like to have that done to mine.

[Pyzik]

I'll be there again this year. Going to try to drag the wife this time.

Don't know what I will bring as far as snack yet. Will post when I figure it out.

Thanks to all who are involved. This is one of my favorite shoots of the year.

[dpgperftest]

I going to try to make it.It will be cool to put some names to some faces .Look forward to meeting every one

They have a large collection of handguns for rent.

The great thing about MGO fun shoots is you can try other members handguns.

Dam now i need a new keyboard

[sca037]

My wife and I plan on attending (it'll be our first MGO event).
It's a very nice range (been there twice now) that has plenty of stuff in the store to drool over and many pistols to rent.
We tried a Glock 27 last time, I think it was $10 plus a box of their ammo.
I could bring our Kel-Tec Sub2000 (.40 S&W Glock magazine version) if anyone might want to try it.

Brian

[RevDerb]

I'd love to go, but I'm always out of town for Christmas

Hmmm... :scratch:

:rofl:

[Garbo]

Go through the gallery and have a look at all the guns piled up on some of the booths lol. Whatever your fancy there is one there to shoot.

[Greggos]

Oh oh, the Mrs. saw this and asked if she can go too, well, why the hell not?
My m1 CMP carbine will just fit under the wire on "pistols only range"
(Pretty sure anyway)
and she DOES want to know how it works with all the different mfr's parts in it.

BTW: For you .30 carbine brass hounds: I don't reload yet, so I'm not takin the empty brass home :)

Call first to make sure, that way you are not disappointed!

I can bring a veggie tray and some dip.......................:hide:

As long as we reserved the "high power lane", you're good.

[dirtwheeler90]

i will try to make it out

[Tallbear]

Has anyone found out if they will re-open by next Saturday?

[slalom]

Has anyone found out if they will re-open by next Saturday?

I was just wondering the same thing...

[wwjmaj]

Has anyone found out if they will re-open by next Saturday?ok I'll bite what happened that they need to "re-open"?

[slalom]

ok I'll bite what happened that they need to "re-open"?

Short version...
Suicide on the range.

[Imshootin]

Has anyone found out if they will re-open by next Saturday?

Wouldn't surprise me if they're open tomorrow.

[dpgperftest]

The Firing Line...closed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone apparently rented a gun, took it out on to the range, and very intentionally let the air out of himself



http://www.migunowners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72701

[johnzilla]

Wouldn't surprise me if they're open tomorrow.

Agreed. A little "crime scene cleanup", maybe a quick coat of paint, and assuming nothing mechanical was damaged (lights, target holder, etc), they're back in business.

[Phreakdout]

That's just nuts! I did some searching and you guys are right. This is kind of common around the country. I feel bad for the person and yet I don't. There are cleaner ways to end it that don't leave a mess or endanger others.

There should be a closed off lane for those who rent. Line the walls in plastic sheets and install a drain in the middle. It's a sign if the renter only buys one bullet. ;-)

Just curious, have any of these suicide cases resulted in shooting others before killing themselves?

[protectionisamust]

If I can kick the family out fast enough, I will try and make it out.

If I do end up making it,

I will be bringing my Sig P245 (.45 Auto) and a couple hundred rounds. I do not reload so those who do, you are welcome to my brass :-D

I would be interested in having my fiance try out a couple rounds through a Glock 19 if one will be there. I would buy a mag full from you. I would like her to shoot one before I look at buying her one.


** I know santa is broke so no new firearms in my near future :roll: **

[56Belair]

G19 will be there as well as M&P 15-22.

[SWMP15]

I thought lane 8 was the big bore lane where you could shoot larger calibers? We were shooting my 500 last year.

thats why if u look outside at the back of the building on the garage door....bullet holes...go figure :headinj:

[slalom]

If I can be there I will bring my Sig-X5 amongst others...

[fasterbusa]

I read in the thread regarding the incident at the Firing Line that this MGO event was now cancelled.

So, is this the case?
Will the Dec 26 pot luck and shoot be cancelled?

That was a different event last Saturday or Sunday.

If anybody has all copper 7.62x25, i could bring out the semi PPSh-41 for them to shoot.

hmmmm, i think i may

[Alton]

Im new to MGO but I like it alot, I should be able to make it to fun shoot
but do not under stand what is going to happen at range???? It sounds like we all put are guns on a table and You can shoot any gun You like. If this is true whos ammo gets shoot.The person whos gun is being shoot or the person shooting uses his ammo??? Do You ask the owner of a gun if You can shoot it or just take it???

I was going to bring my Beretta .22lr and XD9mm but after reading all the

Most of the XD hate is just razzing don't get all bent out of shape over it.

As far as who's ammo gets shot, it depends on the person that brought the gun, you should ask.

You should always ask to shoot someone else's gun, don't just grab.

.22's are always fun to shoot, bring it!

Also, please bring the XD so we can all see how much they suck monkey balls :D and I'll bring my M&P so you can drool over it. :p

Hope to see you there.:para:

[Tallbear]

We all meet in the class room before going to the range. Each person gets to shoot their own guns first. Then if you see something you'd like to try, ask to shoot it. Most will have ammo for their own gun,but it's nice to offer to use your ammo. Remember.......others will be asking to shoot yours and the same will apply at your lane.

Important to remember.......... The firearm doesn't leave the lane it's on. You must shoot it at the lane the firearm is on. NO moving the firearm from lane to lane.

just like going to the range with your buddies. some people will bring a few different shooters with them. There will be time to meet and greet/BS around a little in the class room area I would suppose. If there is a perticular model of gun you would like to try out ,You just ask if they dont mind if you check it out, or shoot it. Most People wont mind at all but still always ask.you would supply the ammo or perhaps offer to pay for ammo being used is the norm. nothing wrong with bringin a .22 there always fun to plink with.

Unless you fully case the gun.
(put it back into it's case and close the case, unloaded)

Which happens to be more work then just leaving it on the lane :)

[dramey82]

I need to ask this, my wife might come with me but she says she doesn't want to be the only spouse there, this will be our first time coming to this type of an event, we do shoot together and she enjoys it very much, so will there be some wives or girl friends there or do I leave her home?

:gorgeous:

[DetroitBiker]

Bring her, She will have a blast

[Joeywhat]

There's usually a few ladies there.

:gorgeous:

I will be bringing my spouse to this event. She is wanting to get a CPL and we're tying to figure out what gun to buy her (.380, 9mm, .40). I told her this would be a great event to attend because there maybe a couple of guns that we see that would work for her and that she may be able to shoot a round or two out of one of them before we look at puchasing a particular model.

Plus gives me an excuse to "blow of steam" :badass:

:-)

[MLG]

Guy's I'm going to try and make it but I won't be able to make the lunch part. Is that okay?

Got a P9 and PM9 Kahr, Sig 228 and (hopefully) a M&P 9 Compact if anyone is interested in trying one of these, let me know and I'll bring them along.

Might want to check out Dougs M&P trigger job.

Also, might like to try a Glock, M&P and Kahr in a .45 flavor.

Hope to see everyone there!

Is there a limit on the amount of people this place can accommodate?

[MarkoPo]

If we can find a babysitter and the roads are decent we will come. It's over 2 hours for us. I'll bring my XD 40 SC, Browning Buckmark, and Dan Wesson .357. I'll also make my famous peanut butter pie.

I stopped wearing white because people would see me walking down the street and their kids would yell out in exitement "Look Mom, there goes Michelin Man".

[pgaplayerless]

Anybody brining all copper 7.62x25? I dont mind bringing out the PPSh but all ammo i have is steel jacketed so without the "correct" ammo there is no point of dragging it out :)

[dramey82]

If the shoot starts at 6:00 what time should we show up if we're bringing food and drinks? also I see a list started on the first page, should people PM Joey to be put on the list if they are bringing something?

[DetroitBiker]

Just a suggestion here,If anybody has some of those stick on name tags. Bring em,That way people could write there user names on it and put a face to the name. Easier then trying to remember everybody`s real name.

[Greggos]

You may want to call them on this one.
Double Action DID let me shoot my steely 7.62 X25 there,
His reasoning and it;s true was that the round was too slow to cause any damage to their backstop.
But that's them...

[Joeywhat]

Isn't 7.62x25 travelling faster then 9mm? If so why don't they let steel 9mm, .40 smith or .45 auto on the range? All a lot slower...

[Greggos]

Joeywhat:
That was MY experience at DA and no more than that.
Every range inside or out has their rules.
Hence I DID say to "call them" at Firing Line and ask them.

Hey Detroitbiker, good reminder, we all talked about this very thing at the fall shoot.

I don’t have “name tag labels” but I do have some big enough stick on labels that I will print the MGO Christmas logo on and bring a marker for people to put their name on.

If anybody wants one printed up, PM me, with what you want on it, i.e. screen name/first name or both and I will do that when I run them off.

[dpgperftest]

how long is this going to last .the wife just reminded me we have a dinner to go to that day now i don't know if I or we can make it.:(

[johnzilla]

Is there a limit on the amount of people this place can accommodate?

The classroom can hold 20 people easy. The range is 8 lanes (one side), figure 2 people per lane that's another 16. The only MGO event we've ever had more than 30 people at was the annual meeting. And people will be coming and going, and many who said they would be there won't be there and vice versa, so we should be OK.

[johnzilla]

If the shoot starts at 6:00 what time should we show up if we're bringing food and drinks? also I see a list started on the first page, should people PM Joey to be put on the list if they are bringing something?

The event starts at 6:00 PM. There's no formal structure to it...basically Firing Line is letting us have half the range (8 lanes as far as I know) and the classroom. Meet, greet, eat, shoot, in no particular order.

[Tallbear]

Everyone will meet in the classroom to go over some safety reminders and introduce themselves. Then it's off to the range with "sharing" of lanes and firearms as needed. Anyone coming in after we hit the range is welcome to come.

We usually stop shooting 15-30 minutes before closing to give us time to clean up after ourselves both on the range and the classroom area.

[Garbo]

Anybody brining all copper 7.62x25? I dont mind bringing out the PPSh but all ammo i have is steel jacketed so without the "correct" ammo there is no point of dragging it out :)


I have a box here. I also have a bunch of the surplus stuff but we cant shoot that there can we?

[pgaplayerless]

Heh i guess box is better then nothing. Ya want me to bing it?

i guess anything that attracts magnet is a no-no. I have about 3K of the no-no stuff :lol:

[Alton]

We will have the range starting at 6pm on Saturday the 26th of December. We'll be meeting in the 'classroom' area of the building before hand for talk and food, then move out to the range to show off everyone's new Christmas presents and get some shooting in!

If we have the range starting at 6pm what time should we get to the classroom for the meeting and food.Or do we also have the classroom starting at 6pm????

[dramey82]

Just got a phone call this morning, were going to have unexpected company tomorrow, they're from out of town so it looks now it's going to be iffy, I'm hoping they will go visit someone else around shoot time, we'll see.

[pkuptruck]

:straf:

[Tallbear]

There's only one Firing Line Range.........Westland.

.....or bring them along.

[DetroitBiker]

bumping to keep it fresh :biggrin:

[7.62 Nato]

I just called to confirm info and the employee I spoke with didn't know about it.

Here's what I found out. Jacketed ammo only, no lead bullets. No .30 carbine. Joey says shooting starts at 6. Employee says they close at 7.

That is all.

[Joeywhat]

Closing at 7? Usually they close at 9...WTF?

[Alton]

Are we only shooting for 1 hour ????

[7.62 Nato]

Firing Line website lists Holiday hours, Saturday Dec. 26, 2009 -Open 9a.m. - 7 p.m.

Regular Sat. hours are 9a.m. - 7 p.m. also.

http://www.firinglineguns.com/

[Alton]

I just call Firing Line and was told the range closes at 6pm

but they close at 7pm.

[pgaplayerless]

Can somebody figure out what's going on? I doubt an hour would leave most of the folks that are brining multiple toys enough time to do shooting between setup and pack up

[Joeywhat]

...

[ittayem66]

i just checked the hours of operation on there site they are open till 7.

[ittayem66]

i just checked the hours of operation on there site they are open till 7.

entry to range closes 1 hour prior to store closing.

[hopeitsfast]

Well, this is a crummy turn of events. Please keep us posted.

[pgaplayerless]

Looks like i won't be making it as i can't show up til sometime after 6pm :(

[dougwg]

I'm sure all the phone calls answering the same questions are pissing them off...

STOP CALLING UP THERE!

Joey, you're the go to guy. You set this up, you call.

Too many cooks in the kitchen folks!!

[Joeywhat]

Yes stop calling.

I finally got through and we have the range from 6-9 according to Grant.

Although they probably deserve a few extra calls after hanging up on my twice in a row...

[Barrettone]

Closing at 7? Usually they close at 9...WTF?

Handled...they are staying open until 9pm for us...pays to know people...:grin:

[dougwg]

Looks like i won't be making as i can't show up til sometime after 6pm :(
I think people are getting all worked up for nothing.

FiringLine takes very good care of MGO

[pgaplayerless]

well sounds like 6-9pm is back on which is good because I can't make it right at 6 to make the "6pm cut off" if they close at 7.

[dougwg]

Yes stop calling.

When we get there you need to find out who hungup on you and give them a noogie. :)

[DetroitBiker]

[wurm]

I am going to head up there. My wife wants to go to Ikea so she is going to drop me off which is just fine by me. Who would want to go furniture shopping when they can go shooting? Dougwg, I tried messaging you about the brass but it says your message store is full. I'm still interested if you are still willing.

See you all there!

[DetroitBiker]

List of guns I would like to shoot if anyone has one: M&P9c,M&P45c,Glock26 :)

[hopeitsfast]

[Pyzik]

Thanks MGO and Firing Line! Had a ton of fun, as always. This was my wifes first event and she had a blast. Everyone was very gracious and let her shoot a lot.
She said she wants to join MGO and get her CPL. Woot!

[Barrettone]

Special thanks to Joeywhat for putting this together and Nick and Mark for working the event for MGO. It was a great success, and it seemed everybody had a great time!!!

Thanks Guys!!!

[pgaplayerless]

the 7.62x25 ammo was a no show. :P My PPSh-41 was sad hahah

Doug shot the Turkish POS. I hope somebody got it on record.

[ittayem66]

Great time and well put together thanks mgo and everyone who made it happen. Thanks joeywhat,MLG,alton,and tallbear for letting me shoot your toys. Wow that beowulf kicks ass!!
:bigun2:

[sprink]

Good turnout. Thanks to everyone that helped put it together. Nice to meet some new faces and see the old ones. Sorry I couldn't stay longer.

[DetroitBiker]

Just got home, We had a great time as usual. good turn out. wish I could have gotten there a little earlier to meet some more people. Special thanks to Mr. Hoffman for Helping my Stepson out with his shooting. This was his first time ever shooting and I think he is hooked :grin: And Thanks Joey and whoever else helped set this shoot up. Good Times :thup:

[slalom]

Great time thanks for the effort.

Damn now I am going to have to get a Beowulf...

[DetroitBiker]

Oh dang, I didnt know there was a beowulf there tonight. I always wanted to try one of those. Errrg... Maybe next time

[wwjmaj]

My final official but perhaps not complete count was at least 62! Biggest EVER! Joey, Firing Line may have been confused but getting the ENTIRE range after 6:30 until 8:30 was great!

About 10 ladies and 5 under 18 with parents and guardians too! Great Food, Better People and lots of things went boom - who could ask for more?

These fun shoots are where we need to go in the future IMO. It gets people out of the house and shooting...not to mention bringing in the ladies and kids. MGO is growing by leaps and bounds, and it is good to see such great turnouts at events like this. We have 4 more fun shoots planned in the next 6 months, so everybody get out there and enjoy!!!:minigun:

[Garbo]

Remember, next year,,, SOMEONE BRING MILK!!! Man those treats are good and a nice cold cuppa milk would have hit the spot :)


Another good time. Good to see a good number of first time shooters out thre. The two little guys impressed me with their shooting. Good job dads!

And thanks to the Firing Lone. They always treat us as royalty

Hey I was there and I still have that box of fiddy in the case,,, where were you? I was in land 6. Big guy with the Central sweat shirt.

I'd bring the silk soy chocolate milk! Will that work? :wow:

[Signess]

I'm incredibly bummed that I missed it. I was looking forward to this for weeks now, had a plumbing issue that needed immediate attention at my mothers house. :doh:

[DOUGHBOY RACING]

Hey I was there and I still have that box of fiddy in the case,,, where were you? I was in land 6. Big guy with the Central sweat shirt.
He was in the 3rd lane in the second range next to me with the Torco Racing Fuel Shirt on

[remingtondude58]

Great shoot! everyone really enjoyed it! Wish we would have showed up earlier!

[pgaplayerless]

Hey I was there and I still have that box of fiddy in the case,,, where were you? I was in land 6. Big guy with the Central sweat shirt.

Not sure what lane i was at. I was on right side lanes. Heh I didn't know what you look like, doug didn't know what you look like and neither of us saw your name tag if you had one.

I left the PPSh out thinking that you would see it. Oh well.

[DetroitBiker]

PGA`s lane looked like some kinda Great britain Gun turn in station. There was a huge pile of guns. probly had to stand on tippy toes just to shoot over that pile. LOL it was a beautiful sight :p

hah oh common. There were not all that many guns. The range rules really prevented me from brining out a lot of my toys.

[Pyzik]

What was that AK variant you had there? That sure was a purdy gun, I loved the furniture. I have a Saiga .223 almost done converting.

:rofl:

[Greggos]

What happened to y'all when Mike "Tallbear" started squeezing off that Beowolf? That first range about emptied out into the other half when that "anti-tank" round went off.

Figured the shock wave did more damage than the round itself.

I got fortunate and so did the better half, we parked on lane 8 with our toys, and Mrs. Greggos shot a .32, a .22 and an M1 carbine (Underwood) and she like the M1 overall. She was thoroughly impressed when she found out how old that critter was (1944) and ended up being her favorite.
Great to meet Cobra and SEE T (?)wish we could have met more of youz but time was fleeting a bit.
I blew through more ammunition there on Saturday, than in the last 8 years.
You guys picking up my .30 carbine brass: I hope you were able to get most of it, seems I saw some of it getting swept up.
Maybe I will reload one day.
Too bad it's too dang far from Royal Oak, or I'd gladly patronize them.
Thank you one and all!

[Alton]

I would like to thank all of You.

That was my first MGO get together and it was GREAT.
Every one there was so nice and helpfull.I hope someone
wil post photos of it.

Thank You MGOs, Rob

Ahhh I was on the left and didnt venture to the right side. And I did forget the name tag. Oh well we'll catch up next time.

[sca037]

Thanks to everyone for making my wife's and my first MGO event great!
We were able to talk another couple (longtime friends who live in Canton) to come by and check it out. Believe it or not, they both had 9mm's they've owned for years and had never even shot until last night. In large part due to all the encouragement, I think they're hooked.......and spoke about getting their CPL's.

Thanks again,
Brian
(we brought the .40 Kel-Tec Sub2000, which a few folks seemed to enjoy ;^)

[Teamster]

Thanks MGO for a great event and a special thank you to everyone who let me fire their toys. my wish list has just gotten longer:biggrin:

[Ed Hoffman]

It was GREAT to see alot of first time shooters
:ak2:

[jolari]

Thanks MGO/Joey for setting up the shoot. It was a lot of fun! That .50 Beowolf was a hoot and Doug's 44mag semi auto was a beast. I would have to lift some weights to shoot that on a regular basis. It made my 1911 feel like a polymer gun! I too, found my next gun at the shoot. That M&P9c was a sweet gun to shoot. Thanks again. :salute:

[NickS]

Pictures are posted in the Gallery. Enjoy!

[Pyzik]

Thanks MGO for a great event and a special thank you to everyone who let me fire their toys. my wish list has just gotten longer:biggrin:

My wife started a wish list. I was excited untill I realized her's might be as long as mine... I am going to need another job.

[dpgperftest]

Thanks MGO/Joey for setting up the shoot. It was a lot of fun!
and the people are great so i decided to join MGO even that money is tight right now thank you to all the people i meet that night :salute:

[SeeTee]

Great time indeed.
7.62 NATO thanks for sharing the lane.
Greggos thanks for the answer to the avatar trivia question.
Great to see those of you I have met before and great to meet more MGO people!
Good things happen if people will just show up, good boost for MGO spirit!

Ok, I am still in a learning curve on posting pictures, but I did get a few posted in the gallery, ended up in the miscellaneous.
Looks like that pile of guns might PGA’s?

I have a few more to post but I have to resize them first, some how the food table picture has one of the biggest file sizes, go figure, I will get to them later.

[MLG]

Just wanted to add my word of Thanks to Joey, and all the rest that were involved with putting the shoot together! Thanks MGO!!!

Also, it was nice to meet Ittayem66, Harleydude1911 and the rest of the guys with him. It was good to see Belair56 and Alton, and several other people that I've met over the past year or so.

Thanks to everyone that let my wife shoot their guns and for the help they gave her.

Joey, the chessecake exceeded all expectations!
