east TN tribe shoot em up

[bubbiesdad]

maybe another zombie shoot? Perhaps a bolt action contest?

[Guest 70below]

Sounds like a winner to me. My travel schedule is heating up at work, but I'm sure I can find at least one of the weekends to help with clean up/set up.

Shooters always welcome to camp. It will take at least one and probably two weekends of range cleanup / repair beforehand, though. The winter was not kind...

First thing needed is trash removal, including some downed trees. Then I'm getting a few loads of dirt and renting a backhoe. Finally, new target stands need built.

You'll have to be patient.

The lead i had on the backhoe is out....you think we should put a feeler out, here, for someone who knows someone with a backhoe and a dump truck?

[Mark@Sea]

Let's start with the dirt. Maybe my lawn tractor can push it around...

Camping: plenty of spots ranging from isolated to open. An airstream (sleeps 3 singles) is available. I have lanterns and campstoves for loan, a couple coolers and even a cabin type tent. There is a decent hotel within 6 miles (PM me for info if you need it). Rates reasonable if not a race weekend (bristol).

I'm up for a bolt gun shoot... need to get the dust off my K31!

I picked up an M44, ok as long as I don't shoot it more than 10 times. I may need a Nancy pad.

If we can get a solid group together, a few shovels and some manual labor, we can probably get the dirt thrown around and raked out.......unless I'm underestimating "a couple loads of dirt". I've got a lot of bobcat experience from my construction days if we can find a reasonable rental rate or someone has one to loan. And before I get anyone fired up to shovel and I can't make it to help, the 9th, 10th, and 11th are out for me, but my back and shovel are available other weekends as of right now.

[Bubbatn]

I would be up to drive up one day to help clean up. I'm out of the job right now, so I need something to do anyway...haha.

[Erik88]

what days are we talking about? I would love to help. Hell, if I'm not there, who else will supervise?

[Mark@Sea]

Easter weekend, so I'm sure a lot of folks have church and/or family activity planned.

I'll be home, campers / range workers welcome, I'm sure there will be a little shooting.

Cody, if you can make it up, bring your carbine - I can supply you a couple hundred rounds in honor of your upcoming enlistment.

Weax: Saturday beautiful, Sunday 20% chance of rain.

Intent: remove trash/brush from range area, plan target stand placement.

if I can source filldirt (any tips?) I'll get it delivered Friday or Saturday.

Weapons available: lawn tractor w/johnny bucket, shovel, chainsaw, trash bags. Stocked broomhandle Mauser and (limited) supply of ammunition if you've ever wanted to try one.

I wasn't kidding about lanterns & stoves; don't go out and buy one!

*** dirt found, dumptruck delivering Saturday***

[Mike.357]

Tagging along with SUNTZU, see you in the AM

[Oh Shoot]

Well, rats, I can't help this weekend...

- OS

[Mike.357]

Happy Easter Mac, tell your Mom I say hi!

[Mark@Sea]

Happy Easter to all... Mike, looking forward to seeing you guys. Coldcuts for lunch, lasagna for dinner, I think that's the plan. I'm real low on woodford, just so you know...

[Bubbatn]

Well shoot, I won't be able to make it this saturday due to other plans. But I hope you guys have a good time.

[smopoim86]

I'd help out, but I seem to be buried in homework at the moment (indefinitely). Hopefully I'll be able to make it up there at some point.

[kwe45919]

You had to pick easter weekend didn't ya?? Can't make it this weekend. I have a 4yr old to hide eggs for.

By the way it sounds, there should be another round of clean up right??

[Mark@Sea]

Just happened to be a weekend I can make it home. I know a lot of folks have other commitments - don't worry, there will be other opportunities.

[titan14]

see you guys in the a.m.
