I just found out about this. My buddy and I were planning on shooting the 3 gun match Sunday at Dead Zero and we were looking for a good excuse to drive down from Clarksville and stay in Mcminville Saturday night. I think we just found our excuse.
My buddy is an ARFCOM member from 2003 but doesn't post much outside of EE. Screen name "avrgr" he is a firearms instructor for the Army on FT Campbell and has been a long time competition shooter. He has offered to bring a VTAC Barricade and a few steel targets. One for rifle and two for pistol. We will be a bit limited on space in the truck since we will have all our 3 gun gear for the match on Sunday, but we will try to bring a couple of cool guns too. Not sure what we can bring for potluck. It will have be something we can pick up on the way. We will bring a Yeti cooler full of waters at least. |

We are getting a TON of rain right now and more expected over the next few days. If the parking area at the range gets bad I’ll probably call for a postponement. We’ve gotten a few trucks stuck out there and I really don’t want to rut the parking area all up.
Keep an eye out here for updates. Let’s hope the weather holds off. |

If this happens (rain?) I will bring a spam can of Garand ammo so people can take a few shots if they are interested. I will also bring my black powder Colt Walker replica in case anyone is interested in trying one.
I do not own any NFA items, but I have almost 1 of every other type, including an AR lower with a binary trigger if anyone wants to snap it onto their upper and give it a try. If anyone can think of anything else they want to try, if I have got one I will bring it. ETA: I also have some portable shooting tables Mr. Clovis Chtitwood (above) and I built nearly 20 years I ago I could bring if you think they might be needed. ![]() |

If I edited the post above it's more than likely because I suck at typing. If I didn't, I was either in too big of a hurry or just missed it.

We need the rain so I won't complain if it happens on Saturday.
We are good either way. Looks like it'll just be me and my oldest. I'll definitely bring 22/9mm/45/5.56 ammo. I'll bring the 45-70 and a couple boxes of Garand-spec 30-06. Honestly, most of our guns are pretty boring. I'll bring a couple .22lrs for sure, in case any kids show up. |

I have a Thompson SMG that all are welcome to shoot. Please bring quality, factory-made .45 acp, no MaxxTech or Hansen.

I REALLY hate to do this, but I'm gonna call it for rain. I just went out to the range and the ground is "ok" from the rain earlier in the week, but there is more rain coming, both today and tomorrow according to the forecasts (it's raining just to the south of us). When the parking area gets wet, it gets soft and MUDDY and vehicles get stuck and the ground gets tore up and then it beats me to death trying to mow it. And if it's raining tomorrow, I don't think we have enough canopies to put all of us and all of our guns under.
What do folks think about pushing to next weekend? Or do we look for a date in the fall. Let me know your thoughts. ![]() |

No problem on the rain cancellation. Totally understandable.
I already have plans for next weekend (07-27-24) so I cannot make it then, but I would appreciate an @ if you plan it for later. |

Totally understandable Kelly. Give the word and I'll make it happen. Fall runs in line with deer season but let's face it, it isn't like I'll shoot anything this year either

Whatever date works for the OP is good with me. As of right now, all of my weekends are wide open. I don't like the plan too much in advance
