Attention OK Riflemen!

We have a range work day scheduled for THIS Saturday.  Sorry for the late notice, but with the upcoming Holidays, Appleseeds in KS and the RBC in KS also around the corner we had to go with this weekend.

We have 2 probable Range locations.  We will need to decide on the best one and start preparing it for an AS Shoot.  If all goes well My Brother-In-Law will allow us to use this site on a regular basis.

The location is SE of Chickasha, near Alex, OK.  I'd like to get started as early as possible Saturday morning.

Bring your rifles, cause as soon as it's ready, we will have to test it out!

I'm in!  Thanks for setting this up, Dale.  Any ideas on what type of tools we should try to bring?

Dale. Wow, this is exciting news. I'm already committed this weekend or I would head that way to help out.

Is there an ETA on when the first shoot will be held there?

Fantastic!  Good work Oklahoma!

I'd even consider coming to help you guys but I am working the Grand Island, NE shoot this weekend. 

I hope none of you guys have been affected by the flooding.  We have had some up this way as well but not as bad as OKC got hit with.

Stay safe!

Going to need details on what we will be doing and travel directions before Friday.
I will be breaking a Saturday commitment to instruct family members to do this.
If the work is not too involved or time consuming I might talk them into tagging along so they can shoot.
I'm NOT complaining here, just providing info.  O0

Thanks

Dale, how about posting some directions to your place so we can all meet up there and head to the range spots?

As of right now, I am planning to leave here around 7AM Saturday to come help.  I am bringing my chainsaw.  Do I need to bring a lawnmower also?  Other tools needed?  PS: I am more than willing to haul away any extra wood from the trees if you need that done although I only have the SUV it will hold a lot.  I will be filling my cooler with water bottles and ice and packing a lunch for me.  Are there some sort of facilities out at this place?  Do we need to dig a privy or anything for future Appleseed shoots?  OK, that is all the questions I have for right now.  Work gloves in hand and ready to get busy helping even if I never shoot a 210. 

By the way, did I mention that my hubby shot a 190 on his first Appleseed a couple weeks ago?   ^:)^ ^:)^  Oh and that is the THIRD time he has ever even shot a rifle.  And it was a borrowed rifle. 

Also, Scout and the rest of the Texas crew are some of the nicest people I have ever met (besides you all).

OKTX - you must be zoning in on my brainwaves.  A mower would be appreciated.  We man or may not need it based on which location we decide to use.  Shovels, rakes, yo-yos, chainsaw, mower - that should cover it.  My BIL said he doesn't want any dirt work done - the area is riddled with underground pipelines.  Going any deeper than 3 or 4 feet will require a call to and a visit from Okie. 

I'm going to get a large cooler jug this afternoon and some powdered Gatorade.  Be sure to bring hats, sunscreen, liquid (beer doesn't count - and not allowed on the location), gloves - long sleeves.

I think we should all meet up at the C-Store in Alex.  Follow the directions I posted, except at step #8 - keep going east on Hwy 19 for another mile or so.  There is a Gas Station / Subway at the top of the hill.   I live a couple blocks behind the store.

My cell is FOUR-OH-FIVE  351- ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO .

See you in the AM!

I'll talk nice to my hubby and get him to cut up the freezer box sitting in the workroom.

How does 8:30 sound?  It's about 7 miles to the range site.  I'll bring a sign to post at the entrance if there are any stragglers . . . Wish I had a freezer box   ;D
