Centre Group Shoot 5/12/07

[ithinkimamedic]

Howdy all! Those of us from up in Centre county as well as some from surrounding counties decided to have our first group shoot this past Saturday afternoon. We held it at the PA SGL's 176 (scotia) in the mid afternoon.

Ok got a call at work... pictures to come later this afternoon... stay posted!

Back so here they are. I'll appologize in advance for anyone I forget in the picture or am unable to identify, if you happen to be one of them let me know and I'll fix it.

The afternoon went as follows.
It rained... boy did it rain... right when we were suppose to get there, I thought we were done for but sure enough it cleared right up and dried up.
We all arrived and exchanged formalities and met each other, some of us realized we already knew each other. Small world ehh. We shot the "bull" for a while with Xringshooter (who couldnt stay) and then finally headed to the range's.

Everyone was just getting set up when the RO showed up, he talked to us for a while checked out our weapons when he came across scoutjoe's YUGO sks w/ a bloomauto golf ball launcher on the end of it. well need less to say we had to try it out so down range went a few loads. The RO was funny as hell and is a great guy who I have delt with before I belive a retired SCPD officer.



Here we have Scoutjoe w/ his YUGO gettin ready to let one rip. Left to right, Sorry I cant rememeber your forum name bed! , Lexington86 with his back to us, the RO, Agent Ronin w/ his shiney belt buckle, and Scoutjoe.



Ben with Scoutjoe's romanian (I think) AK shooting it for the first time. In the back ground RandomTask and his daughter watch. Agent Ronin load's mag's for the HK91 clone and Kenshin (I think) loads up a SKS



SHIT! so on the third shot the hammer pin decided to back out of the right side of the reciver, here Scoutjoe is helping Ben. We were able to get it fixed and got the rifle back in service shortly after this. Back to the fun!



Over all shot of the "shoot bench" area



And a downrange shot of the Auxillary range which is 50yards on the right and 100 on the left.



Here RandomTask is showing Agent Ronin one of his HK P7's. Damn thats a sweet smooth shooting gun! In the background Lexington86 is poppin off some round's with an AK!



Over on the Auxillary pistol range diputs and theFOOL were shooting an auto ordanance 1927a1 which unfourtinatly kept having fte's (hope you got that fixed) there were also to 2 other guys that were on the range who were more than happy watch/learn and enjoy. diputs in green w/ ear pro and TheFOOL in blue hat.



Here Diputs works on his 1927a1 while TheFOOL (left in blue hat) and 2 other random dudes look on.

To top it off we have a video of the golfball launch.



Unfourtinatly I had to leave to go to work around 1700 hrs while other stayed and shot! I wish I could have stayed but alas I had to work... and take 2 diffrent patients to pittsburgh in one night.. OUCH!!

I dont know about everyone else but I had a good time and I look forward to the next time we can all gather... Maybe even larger!

Cheers,
Josh

Cool beans guys. Nice pics.

Looks like everyone was having a good time.

Last month our group shoot (SW Pa) had rain but mostly drizzle for a good part of the day and still had a good turnout.

Was scoutjoe limited to 3 golfballs?

He only shot 1 at a time but I know it went off more than 3 times... I kinda lost track.

What the He_ _?!!!

I responded to this earlier today and I don't see it! Crap. I'm not typing it all over again!

Basically I said it's great to see you guys got together for a shoot!
(There were more PAFOA T-shirts at OUR shoot on Sunday! kidding!)

We've been doing this in Pittsburgh and it's going well.
When we all get our pics off our cameras I want to post the photos where the rest of the forum can see them.

Looks like we're lying the groundwork for some "official" PAFOA "regional" group Shoots!

Keep it going, it's a lot of fun meeting other forum members and learning about new firearms!

Hey guys, looks like ya had fun! It's good to see you guys got to get together to meet each other and share toys. Now you will be standing in front of the safe trying to pick out what you will take to the next shoot.

EM,

I knew that I read your post too. Also forgot it was elsewhere(?).

Congrats on the get-to-gather guys. Ours started with, what?, two guys showing to the first one. Then someone said FOOD!!!! Now we have 13-15 showing in rain and or Mother's Day. Just wait till THC picks a nice day that ain't a HOLIDAY. People will think there is an invasion going on.

Remember Food is Key.

If you notice even 27Hand said.......Holy Beans. btw he is a pretty good griller.

I had tons-o-fun that day! Definitely looking forward to the next get-together.

It's a shame you didn't get any pictures of anyone shooting Ronin's hand cannon (.44mag Deagle).

[Kenshin]

I showed up later in the day after i think you took all the pictures but it was all still a lot of fun!
