Hey, who all would be interested in getting together at my place on the 29th of this month for some shooting and general BSing.
So far I have a yes from 86er, who else wants to come.

That would be great if you were in Ohio!

J Miller · Post by **J Miller** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 7:48 pm

I'd love to, but I'm in IL and that makes it really hard.

I'd love to come ,but, Texas is a pretty big state, could you narrow your location down a little bit?

C. Cash · Post by **C. Cash** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 7:54 pm

+3 or whatever! I wish I lived close and I would take you up on the Rkrodle.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 8:15 pm

bj94, it would be great if you could drop by.

2ndovc, J Miller, and C. Cash just two words for ya'll, " car pool". load up and come on down.

neil mitchell, get on 69 going north and come to Greenville. I'm just outside of Greenville. It would be good to have you come. Thats only about two hours or so I think.

Thanks Ricky, I will sure try to make it.

Griff · Post by **Griff** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 9:22 pm

Ricky,
I'm still off, now the "crud" is gone, but the weather is nice enough for a little "farmin'" and I'm going to catch up on the mowing over the next coupla days. I can't commit, but I'll definitely be there if I'm in town.

86er · Post by **86er** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 8:41 am

I'll come by - thanks for the invite.

Piller - I don't know if I can get those paper plates to charge us, you might be bored.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

crs · Post by **crs** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:26 am

Thanks, it sounds like fun, and I will let you know as my farming and chores schedule evolves.

BrianSH · Post by **BrianSH** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:57 am

Sounds like a good time. I'm up for it.

Ricky, when I developed the pic from the hog hunt, I found some pics of the Linebaugh shoot from last year, still in the camera.

Dang!

This is what I get for living in the East, the country's toilet.

RSY · Post by **RSY** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:44 am

Man, if y'all weren't all the way up there in southern Oklahoma, I'd be able to swing by.

Seriously, though, here's wishing y'all a safe and fun day of shooting and Texan camaraderie.

Thank you for the invite Sir! I will take a rain check this time, but would like to meet some of you fellas soon.

Ricky
I think I can make it. Joe, if those paper plates charge then I better change by brand of coffee for something safer. I'll bring the carbine and the pistol both chambered for the .480, and I have a .45lc with some moderately heavy loads that is fun to shoot. I also have a Rock Island Armory 1911 clone that is a lot of fun. It isn't going to be like Joes Glock, but it is a lot of fun.

JP_TX · Post by **JP_TX** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 12:51 am

I'd love to. Is Carrollton close enough?

Texican · Post by **Texican** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 4:01 pm

That's a 'bit too fer piece' for me that weekend. I do appreciate the invite, though. My pop lurks around on this site occasionally - might point him that way, if you don't mind. He's a bit closer.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 5:21 pm

Hey this great, starting to get a pretty good list together.

neil mitchell, hope to see you here. I knew a Mitchell that was in the navy and stationed at NAS JAX in the early 80's. He was from down your way. Any kin to you?

Griff, I'm just now getting over this crud also, man it is persistent. I have several things I've got to get done around here now that the weather is getting nice. Sure do hope you can make it.

86er, Always a pleasure to have you over.

crs, hope you can make it, you've got neat toys.

And your a good man. Even if you don't share your whiskey.

BrainSH look forward to seeing you again, bring those pics.

RSY, dude you don't have to resort to name calling

JI, Start with the back stroke and we'll see you here.

JP_TX Carrollton is plenty close. Come on over and I hope you have a good time.

Texican, sorry you can't make it but, tell your dad to come on over.

I've got something I'm working on. We may have a charging target if I can get it built in time.

Jeff Quinn · Post by **Jeff Quinn** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:42 pm

You Texicans are 'sposed to be at CSA that weekend.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:49 pm

Sorry Jeff, I didn't know the dates were the same when I posted. Maybe next year we can get a convoy from Texas together to come up there.

Jeff Quinn · Post by **Jeff Quinn** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:53 pm

Maybe the following weekend we can all meet in Tulsa for the wonderful gun show!

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 7:40 am

Now thats would be some fun. I spend alot of time in OK but have never made it to the show.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 8:11 pm

The 29th is getting closer and it was pointed out to me that I have not set a start time. How does 10:00 am til whenever sound? Does that work for everybody? Of course you can show up at a later or earlier time if you want.

neil mitchell · Post by **neil mitchell** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 8:22 pm

Ricky, sorry I'm so late answering your question

but no I had no relatives in the Navy.

10:00 starting time sounds fine to me.

Neil

2row · Post by **2row** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 1:12 am

I'm about a 100 miles from you I may just load up and come. What kinda guns do I need too bring

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 7:58 am

2row, Bring what ever you want, it doesn't have to be a levergun. We can shoot out to 200 yards but, most will probably be shorter. It will be very informal with no real agenda, although I have a few things set up for us.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 7:46 am

Here is a google map of my location. If anyone has any questions call me on my cell phone, 214-549-5217.

piller · Post by **piller** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 11:04 am

Ricky:

I'll be there. I am bringing the .480 carbine with almost 200 rounds, some .45lc with 340 grain lead wfn bullets I loaded up and want to try. What do you think? If 86er can get those paper plates to charge, then he has a trick up his sleeve I haven't seen before. After I think about it, charging paper plates might be fun.

Rexster · Post by **Rexster** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 12:31 pm

Hmm, this just might be feasible for me, at 290 miles. My Father-in-law has become our child, if y'all know what I mean, but if the wife thinks can handle the home front herself, I might be able to run up there for the day, as I could get back in 4.5 hours if needed. Would it be feasible to bring a dog or two? I could keep them crated or on leash the whole time. Edited to add: Will Verizon or Sprint mobile phones work up there? No, I don't like to yak, but would need to be in contact with la Esposa.

FWiedner · Post by **FWiedner** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 12:35 pm

Heck, I'd love to join in, but I gotta work.

Now if ya made it on the 30th...

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 8:26 pm

Piller, Sounds like your ready to go. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag but, I've been working all day and have the charging target covered

Rexter, would like to have you come, If your phone doesn't work here you can give your wife my number to call. I use ATT so don't know how well the rest work. Dogs are always welcome!

FWiedner, sorry you have to work. But it sounds like you need to get your priorities right

. I hope to be able to do this again in the fall. Maybe you can come then, I would enjoy meeting you.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 7:08 pm

Looking at the weather and it looks like rain Friday and Sunday but none for Saturday

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 4:06 pm

The shooting starts tomorrow and I'm excited

! Hope everyone can make it. In case anyone needs further directions or has questions my cell phone # is 214-549-5217. I have a gas grill we can use for lunch or if anyone wants to go out for food towns not far away. If you want to bring something we can throw it on the grill. I'll have bottled water on hand for everyone. I have a few targets, deer silhouettes, cape buffalo prints, some bulls eyes, clay pigeons, and some one gallon jugs we can fill with water and make a mess. BrianSH is also going to bring some jugs.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

86er · Post by **86er** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 4:07 pm

See you at 9:00! Thank you

86er · Post by **86er** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:26 pm

Thank you Ricky! It was a great time - I can't remember the last time I spent a whole 8 hr+ day shooting. Great job on the charging buffalo target! It was great to see old friends and meet new ones.

chadbr · Post by **chadbr** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 9:38 pm

bah! too bad I didn't see this until tonight. Hope y'all had a good time.

Anyone down toward Houston have the capacity to hold an event?

Chad

piller · Post by **piller** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 9:52 pm

Thanks Ricky, it was a great time. The charging target was great. The Krodle Safari Trainer should be patented. What do the rest of you who were there think? 86er, I told my daughter about the trophy elk you are saving for her and she yelled loud enough that I think you may have heard it.

RKrodle · Post by **RKrodle** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 9:56 pm

I started a separate post with links to the mpegs we took.

Piller, in honor of your water buff I was thinking of calling it the "piller plinker"
