1. CavVet loves to be parking director. 2. Tactical vests are way cool (keep everything as low as you can). 3. The 2 quart canteen cover makes a nice drop pouch. 3. Firewood explodes....  4. There just isn't enough beer(and I don't even drink it). 5. 1Gunrunner loves to delegate. 6. The Brown Dog doesn't like jelly donuts, or marshmallow Peeps. 7. Marty and Clinton [gunshow dealers] showed up and helped police brass...way cool. 8. Interstate 5 traffic sucks 24/7. 9. Wal-Mart doesn't sell .223 anywhere in western Washington. ETA - SAT PM: 10. Tumbleweed drinks funny....no wait, he's funny when he drinks. 11. It's generally understood that Li'lscrun is probably the UPS driver's kid. 12. Overall marksmanship of the group is improving, the Peeps were getting clobbered. 13. MrsKooter makes GREAT cookies. ETAA - SUN AM: 14: For all it's flaws, my Israeli surplus Trilux scope gets the job done, even though it shouldn't (by the rules). 15: 9mm ARs are going to be huge around here for the next year or so. 16: Wolfgang Puck self-heating latte's are just barely good enough to keep you on the mountain in the morning. 17: TBD loves to chase lasers and tight beam flashlights. 18: I need to get faces hooked up to on-line names. 19: Simple_In_Seattle leads a double life. 20: Tannerite is the best alarm clock ever...................  21: MrsKooter is the official LCR Search and Rescue Co-ordinator. 22: CavVet, 1Gunrunner and Bigscrun are 24/7 entertainment when they get together. 23: I need to pack lighter. 24: The dollar store sells one meal, disposable frypans and you can shoot them after breakfast. 25: Bring extra camping chairs, you can trade them for really good stuff when you get there. 26: Bring a skewer. 27: Big knives are better. 28. Boonie hats, even if you don't like them, provide the best cover. ETAYA - SUN PM: 29: Pain pills, I need pain pills, lots of pain pills......  |

1) Adding a bi-pod (thanks to Marty!) to my M14 was a great way to make a good rifle even better. Reach out and touch someone now has new meaning. 2) I saw a side of Hillary today that I never realized existed. Thanks CavVet for the enlightenment. I know now that sometimes it really does take a villiage. 3) Purchase more M14 mags. 4) An EoTech on an AR Pistol is definately the shiznit and a must have. 5) 9MM AR's are one hell of a lot of fun and I have made up my mind that I will have one. Thanks Big_Elf for driving me over the precipice. 6) Cab drivers  7) Tacticle vests look cool as hell and just make sense. 8) Always take more cigarrettes than you could ever manage to smoke. 9) The Brown Dog likes to bark at shit at the oddest times. Can dogs get alzheimers? 10) I need to get rid of the guns that I don't shoot in the back of my safe. Sunday morning edit; 1) Get an Arfcom hat with my farking screen name on it for the LCR. 2) Membership payment is being sent now. I don't know why it took me so long but this last shoot I finally realized I wouldn't know any of you yahoo's if it weren't for this board. |
Take it to the Equipment Exchange (but send me a list first) 
|
I'll take them off your hands free of charge

Thanks to Tumbleweed for bringing me down, 1Gunrunner for putting me up, Simple in Seattle for bringing me home and CavVet for making those arrangements. To MrsKooter for the cookies and Kooter for delivering them. To everybody for sharing everything and for all the stories around the fire. |
+1 I learned..... 1) We can have organization with minimal leadership.  2) There are some serious cool people in this group. 2A) Seriously cool people hae seriously cool kids. 3) Nothing is permanent (See the little missing pit) 4) A pos camper in the hand is better than a rock in the back. 4A) The S10 is in better shape than I thought. 5) A smoker will enjoy the ride mucho better with another smoker. 6) Steak is good food. 7) Whenever you go to take a leak or a dump in the wild, you will always run into the womenz. 8) Sun is better than rain. |

My lessons learned. The M1917 still wants to slice into the web of my shooting hand. Military style pistol belts suck. Cadpat will be mistaken for Marpat. I can too operate an AR15 without bending the charging handle. South African .303, even recent vintage, still misfires. .303 clips are great when they work, a serious pain when they don't. When shooting prone next to the .50 calibre rifle, MOVE as soon as someone starts fiddling with it. Me (shooting SKS):"Dude, did you just load that gun... I said, did you just load ..BAAAAAMMMMM!!" I managed to get up one knee before he set it off 5' to my left. I'm really glad I wore ear plugs and muffs. I really gotta arrange my time so I can spend the night there. 138 miles each way is a long drive. There is a cool peep sight available for the SKS. Its June at LCR. Its going to get hot even if it rains. Hot barrels still look just like cold ones. (sizzled my arm) TBD understands "fetch" too well. He walked slowly over to the ball, picked it up and then kept it. I do remember the way to the pit, and most importantly, the way out. Aiming downrange and then seeing some ATV's on the road directly above the target is a little spooky. We do need to do a few more reminder lessons on range rules, especially for the younger ones. I'm all out of .45 practice/plinking ammo. Thanks to Cavvet for keeping an eye on the firing line when I went down to fix some targets... |
Fixed, oh and if you dont have some weird off the wall part of other item. Chances are someone else who shows up will. |

I learned that I/we (Taurus and I) like all you guys and gals-- a lot. Thanks for putting up with me in particular. DuctapeLad had the time of his 12-year-old life as well. PCR, you forgot the M14E2-- write it down. Welcome to Team Ductape-- son. I suppose this is as good a time as any to admit that I originally gave the Maker's Mark to Iblis and Belial, hoping they'd get too snockered to be able to leave that night-- this was before I knew about their little mishap on the way out on a previous occasion. (Sorry, Marty and Clint, no ill effects intended. Great to see you there! ) So they gave it to 1GR instead, so it's actually my fault that he spilled the chips.I have developed a powerful hankering for a .50 myself, but I think I'll be safe if I save myself for a Barrett. Time to start buying lottery tickets--- To everyone I didn't get a chance to tell, at Camp Ductape we believe in real coffee. Ask PCR et al. If you're feeling under-caffeinated in the morning, just come on around, we'll hook you right up! (Those who visited will attest that we bring a little too much of everything, so we may have whatever it is you might be needing in camp. ) Thanks for the kind words about Taurus' cookies, and for the help wringing out the E2-- it's good to know it still gets hits. Be well, and WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE??????

+1 And oh Yea,.....I need an M-14 too |
|
Eagerness is not volunteerism. (My Dad and both my older brothers were DIs, they cured me of that disease.) I just had soooo much fun!By the way, Cav, you did a great job keeping things organized out there. I owe you a beer/cigar/bad habit of your choice under twenty dollars. Thanks on all our behalfs.
|
I don't know about the chip spillin' but that Makers was some good stuff....Thanks!!! We were being good and both got in trouble for staying to long as it was. Had a blast once again... Just for the record I was NOT driving on that mishap....  Cheers |

1. Shooting stuff is cool. 2. Beer is good. 3. People feed you just because you're too lazy to cook the steak you brought. 4. Shooting stuff is cool. 5. The weather man was WRONG!  6. Beer is good. 7. WA guys are way more social than OR guys. 8. Shooting stuff is cool. 9. I can't wait for the next one. |
DougH and I were out doing a spot of yote hunting today near Vantage and were thinking the same thing. We found some good spots for a shoot but they will for sure require a good off road vehicle. That area would be nice because it's close enough to the east and westers. |
Call me Captain Obvious, but ...... Either you +1's live on the west side and not have come to ours...... Or live on the eastside and havent rganized one yet??  |
I told you if you are serious about that area...I have hunted it for years and know it very well. And know some suitable spots. |
Sounds like that would only be considered a big event after the fact (due to media coverage).
