ooohhhh my deployment has been postponed and I might be up on LV/active duty doe, I hope it does not sell out before I get firm leave dates from my ship.

Hey Gary, is NFA ( MG, SBS, SBR, DD, Supressed) allowed?


BTW how have you been? I have not seen you since the last "Root Shoot" seven years ago! You had fun with my Barrett! LOL

[Mtbkski]

Your 5 hours away. But I have some family out that way I could visit and make this shoot. Looks like it will be a blast.

We will be setting up registration in about thirty days. Let me know what your schedule looks like. We will work with you as you are the very reason we can have a shoot in the first place. On behalf of all of us at LRGC, thank you for your service to our Country.

Regards,
Gary

Does this look familiar?




We permit SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors at LRGC. Sadly, we do not allow .50 BMGs. Full autos can only be fired in semi mode and then only if they are duty weapons issued to a bonafide LEO. As for DDs if it's a shotgun fine, but no mortars, bazokas etc.

I do miss those Root Shoots and hope that Mr. Root is doing well.

Hope to see you again soon.....

"Does this look familiar?"

Oh yeah! Plus my Ma Deuce sitting next to you! BTW I still have both plus some other toys (NFA)!

Root is doing pretty good, one kid plus another in the works! Maybe I will come down to see you some time!

What time does the shoot usually start and end?

I am not missing this one

Can you post the general guidlines when you get a chance.

Last year was carbine, rifle, and pistol?

It wil give me an excuse to get out and start sighting in.

My wife said she will come but will not dress up

73,

We are still working out the final details but this year we are for sure adding a shotgun stage! This was by popular demand of the event participants. So you will need a centerfire magazine fed rifle, a pistol and a shotgun for this year's event!

I estimate we'll get going around 0900hrs. I would plan on being at LRGC no lter than 0830hrs. We'll be posting details confirming the exact time when we post the registration link.

I'm sorry to hear your wife doesn't want to dress up as we have a prize this year for the best Zombie Hunting couple. (signifant other's do not need to shoot in order to qualify) Perhaps you'll convince her to get with the theme!

Yay, shotgun stage! Had lots of fun at this one last year, looking forward to this again.

Suggestions (hopes) for this year.

- Dedicated pistol stage: we had only one stage where a pistol could be fired last year and that was realistically only at one target at the end of the stage. I would love to see a pistol stage - even if its just something small.

- No archery stage: I realize that you try to keep everyone moving and doing something at all times, and your archery range was an attempt to keep it fluid. But hardly anyone (in my group) was that into it, and many volunteered to just get their cars and run down the targets

- more 'Reactive' targets: Those hanging foam blocks worked well, but some simple metal plates would be great too. I realize of course they would get chewed to pieces by the rifles, but maybe some folks have scrap steel or insights on how to do it on the cheap? Shooting at 100/200 yard paper targets is fine, but its definitely cool when you hear that 'PANG' of a steel plate being smacked to let you know you connected.

In any event, the 'mobile' stages were lots of fun and really spiced up the whole event.

Look forward to it!
