Greetings fellow Appleseed enthusiasts.

Mike Thompson, our host at the Piru Ca. Home range, has kindly given us the use of the full distance range for a morning of KD AQT's. Meet at 10 AM for safety briefing, shots down range at 1100 (11.11.11 @11:00  ^:)^) ) BBQ to follow around 1400 or when we've had enough. Menu will be 'santa maria tri-tip and all the fixin's.

While this will be a "run what you brung" kind of deal, there are a few of us who will be shooting our 'US Rifle, model 1903/O3 A3's", in keeping with the history of 'that day'.

I will remind those not familiar with the history of the AQT that it was developed for that particular rifle.

Please RSVP myself or cowgirl ducky if you plan on attending and if you will be planning on eating. I

Event is open to all who wish to attend. Bring your non-appleseed co-worker or family member or friend for a day of low pressure, fun and fellowship on what is the un-official aniversery of Appleseed's 'home range' in california being secured.
Range Fee's will be collected.

roll call:
(as of 10-28-11)

Take a moment and remember the kind of man you chose to be when you got yourself out of that last scrape. Maybe you prayed that you would be different if he delivered you. Maybe you found hope here you thought unreachable. Do not concern yourself with anything 'els THAT. Make the mission first.

I regret that I will be at work. Sounds like it will be a blast.

Thanks for heading up the effort!

You folks 'll just have to muster on and have as much fun as you can without me. LOL   ;D

WOW and DAMN!  THis is the Friday before the Calguns-CRPA Tactical Turkey Shoot.  Fortunately the shoot is on Sunday.  I will catch up with the boss on Monday and request the day off.  So I am in tentatively.  :-) I wont have a period rifle though, I suspect my AR will follow me up.

Don't know at this point if I will be back up in NoNeva that weekend yet....if not, will be there.....probably with something (or several somethings) that are very loud to shoot......
If I can't be there, y'all have a round of fire for me, yes?

TTYS, and God bless.

Count me in, too...

I will break out the 1903 Mk. 1 for an old school AQT beside Kool Aid and Bob 210,
and of course I might try another AQT with my Krag!

BBQ sounds good to me... Whats the pony up for this?

I got a few Carbines to bring.

I doubt I will be able to ring the 1K gong with it though.... :'(

For that, I will use the 1917, or the 1903. I might try it with the Trap door 45/70... Hmmm....

just in case no one's thought of it, it would be righteous and proper to extend an invite to our most gracious host, Mike Thompson.

Tentatively count Myself and Robby in, AR & Mosin
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

BBQ to follow around 1400 or when we've had enough.

So the BBQ will be after dark ;D ;D.  Sounds like a great time.  I'll be in Boulder City that weekend.

If by chance Jacques shows up, I expect a nice photo of a 3-way hug with Jacques, Hollywood and yourself, I miss my 11 '09 big brothers!

I have checked and the fiance and I will be there.

I do not have ammo for a period rifle, but I have been wanting to try my VZ58 at known distance. Should be interesting.
