If its near Knoxville count me in, if it's in tri-cities I'll plan on coming but if there is any chance of weather being too inclement then I'm not going to chance a two hour drive that could end with either a) no one else showing up, or people show up but decide they would rather not shoot in a "snow storm" (a term I use lightly). I've been to shoots at both locations and if this ends up as being two separate events I will still try to make it to both. But as said earlier most of the people who actually attend are from Knox/OR and if no one is willing to host in tri-cities or find a definite range to use then I see no reason why we shouldn't just stay around Knox/OR, unless of course no one can host/find a range here either.

Or eaten him first...

Keeping an eye on that thread. I'm interested in the possibility of getting a lesson before shooting an actual match. It will give me a chance to sort of see ORSA as well, since I'm thinking about joining next year now that I have some rifles that need to stretch there legs every once in a while.

Alright I'm in the core! Although it hasn't felt like it recently, I suppose I was at the first meet back before Phantom's range was done. In any case I'm glad to be back, and I had a blast today. Enjoyed meeting some new folks and enjoyed shooting the AR for the first time. Sort of dreading the inevitable posting of the sombrero picture but other than that I have no regrets. P.S. I propose that instead of telling new East TGO members to drink the Kool-Aid and come to the meets we should tell them to eat the Doritos.

Welcome from another west knoxer. I'm alright with Coal Creek, I catch some crap for being young I think, even if I usually do know more about whatever I came in to look at than they do, or at least more than they want to talk to me about. I will agree that Tony is the most helpful guy there. I was going to buy a range pass until they doubled the price recently, so I'm glad to hear of another range opening.

I'd consider being in with the east side. I've been looking into getting involved in something competitive this would fit the bill nicely, been looking at maybe a 5" XD purchase as well and I suppose this would justify it.

I found these on an old external HD today theres a bunch more I'll try to post later.

+1 for the 642

I think general consensus will be the buckmark, I'm looking to pick one up myself after my wallet recovers from the holidays.

Why indeed it is, you're a quick study.

Umm, I was being sarcastic... You see others were joking about how everyone would stare at him for carrying, so I just took it one step further. It's a delicate brand of humor and I hope this explanation helps some. (in case you can't tell I'm still being sarcastic)

You'll put your eye out with that thing.

I'm trying to get a buddy from GA to come up...maybe we should all bring a friend.

Get off the "X" and get back on The High Road.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a man with a gun call made even...

While not mine there is a p-22 in the household. Depending on how I end up monetarily after Christmas I plan to look into a ruger or buckmark.

Like I said in the glock thread, I planned to buy a glock but it pointed horribly for me and my fingers didn't fit the finger grooves on the gen 3's. The guy behind the counter suggested the XD and it pointed perfectly and had no finger grooves and I was sold.

That could be true I have never held an SC, mine is a service model. I'll bring it to the East TGO meet and if you come you're welcome to try it out.

All the fun ones get locked though .

Ammo and mags both showed up today so I'm good to go for sure.

On my XD you barley have to be touching the grip safety for it to engage... Back on topic I can tell you why I don't carry a glock, I can even doing it without bashing them . The grip angle is completely unnatural for me, and in the case of the 3rd gen (the only ones I've held) the finger grooves don't fit my fingers correctly. If it weren't for those two things I would be a glock owner.

Full time student here.

Well I traded off my beretta, so the only .22 at my disposal is Ashley's P22 which isn't the most accurate plinker but I'll give it a shot (pun intended).

Just about to post the same thing, perhaps we should try with handguns sometime.

I think I may have peed a little
