- What's new in this club
-
I couldn't make it, spend to much time at the head. AC in truck not working, wouldn't have been a fun drive. I went after 8 bundles of shingles at 9 am and the heat wore me out.
-
Well, only 5 of us showed. But it was nice to meet each other and chat a bit. I had a good time. Hopefully we can do this again with more people.
-
I'll be unable to attend due to an assignment I received from the State Guard to complete before the drill on Saturday at Camp McCain. Hopefully I can make a future one.

Was looking forward to the meet however I’ve got a kidney stone that I can’t pass and will be having a procedure to remove it on the morning of the 6th. I’ll try to catch the next one.

Small change in plans: Same location. We will be in the members lounge area, across from the restrooms. We have this room 5:30pm until 6:30pm. We can then move to the chair / couch area by the classrooms. Restaurant is closed to eating and seating. Location: Top Gun, 2770 Whitten Rd, Memphis TN 38133 Time: 5:30 to 7pm, Thursday, June 6, 2024 Cost: $ none

Unfortunately, my work schedule has changed and I will have to work that night. You guys enjoy.

It has come to my attention the restaurant at Top Gun is closed. They have plans to open again in the coming months. With plans for some remodeling/changing of the restaurant, it is uncertain if the restaurant seating area will be available. With about 10 people showing interest, we can gather in the seating area in front of the restaurant.

It was PointBlank first time going there. It wasn't the same after Range USA took over. I asked around with coworkers seeing if anyone shot there. Most everyone went to creek/river banks and used turtles, snakes and gar for targets.

Meet and Greet, June 6th 2024

The current Range USA(s) and the old one are not the same. The current brand was formerly ShootPointBlank, which is a multi state corporation. Imagine if Baskin-Robbin’s sold guns instead of ice cream. -
I checked out Range USA years ago while looking for local reloading supplies. They had some bullets but nothing else. The place was a bit more crowded than I liked and they didn't want my cast bullets with Alox. Range time was by the hour. A trip to Range Masters was about half the mileage so I shot there 4 times. Space in lanes was great. I carried my granddaughter and a friend, could get all 3 of us at the bench to show them how the guns worked at the same time. Shoot as long as you like. My 5th trip they were closed. My CCW permit class was in Southaven with shooting at Bullseye. It was small, dark with narrow lanes. I shot there twice before the class. The night of the class those walls seemed to get closer. Shoot as long as you like. Range USA has a new store in Southaven. I went there when it first opened to check them out. Have checked them out a few times online since. Can have orders shipped to store.

During the Range USA days, the TGO meetings would fill the classroom .
-
I plan to be there.
-
I'll be there!
-
If I get to memphis early enough I'll attend. That day I'll be driving from Savannah TX for drill at Camp McCain that weekend.

Being banned didn't stop dad from coming back in under another name. The boys down south wanted reloading supplies and DLM wouldn't make a trip. Dad took a parttime job for a bit. Rules in our retirement is we can't get extra income. So he lost his retirement for 3 months. Dad made a deal with DLM. He'd sell the supplies the boys wanted, collect payment then DLM would deliver. All supply prices were through DLM. We had a funeral in Grenada the coming weekend. Mules were arranged to get supplies farther south. Dad had sold close to $3,000 in supplies. He called DLM to make sure of the order. Found out someone didn't want to deal through dad. DLM was making a special trip to Jackson, MS the same weekend. Said he wouldn't sell enough to cover his trip. He was right, didn't have enough of what they wanted. About a quarter of what dad had sold for him. Dad had to return the money cheapest he could. Check 25 cents. stamp 45 cents 75 times. He barrowed that money from me and closed the checking account after emptying it. DLM came online and said dad was under selling his supplies. He was banned without a chance to defend himself.

Please be Kwik, please be Kwik!

He was banned before defending his actions in a transaction that went bad. He traveled to east TN to inspect some reloading equipment and supplies before buying. The seller set up a sale before he got there. Most that wasn't sold or the owner would be taking with him was junk. A lot of stuff that wasn't reloading related, western movies, magazines, books, kitchen sink. Dad talked to DLM after seeing what was offered. "I've seen it, I offered him $50 for everything. Figured I'd sit on it for a long time before getting my money back."
-
depends on who your dad is
-
No telling why others aren't replying. How many are still active in our area? How many have been offended by other's comments and left? I would like to change my username to my dad's, most likely get banned for something he didn't do.
-
I should be there unless something at work explodes that day.
