Fort Wayne Shoot meet and eat! 12/29/12

, Marlin 39a,.

OOOOOHHH I have always wanted to handle and shoot one of those... May I ask the year of this one???.. (After all they have been making this gun for over 100 years)


I would wonder if I bring a long a few extra shells for this, if I may take a shot or two

Roush Lake RO'S and rapid fire

they have a timed firing line, then cease fire when you bench arms, open chamber and remove magazine. proceed down range when all clear is called and at no other time.
don't you DARE touch the firearm during cease fire or Bonewitz will be on you in a heartbeat
overall they're pretty insistent on their rules, and watch shooters like a hawk, which is great considering the crap i've seen from the nubs.
otherwise basic firearm safety.
no automatic, or rapid fire. no .50 BMG. no rifles on the 25yd range.

I know Fred, Bob, Jeramiah, Andy and Steve.... Which one is Bonewitz??? Bob And Steve are probably the most up-tight of the bunch with Steve taking the prize.
Would rather not shoot when Steve is on....uisually every Thuirsday. And they really do frown on shooting more than one round per second.

But it is really a good, safe place to shoot.

I've got plenty of .22LR, if I can make it you're more than welcome. Pics and info on it here:

Training Day

It isn't a qual day. It isn't even a training day. So, no, there is nobody standing behind you scoring your shots, and nobody is running pit duty keeping score, too. There isn't even a pit. And the range doesn't go out to 500 yards either.

But the range is very professional. The range will be called hot or cold from the tower, and the RSO keeps an eye out for unsafe behavior, constantly enforcing the range rules. If the rules are followed, it is not dangerous as you suggest.

It is an open invitation to people who want to shoot, meet, and eat. If it sounds fun, come join us. We won't even hold your comment against you. Or, if you'd rather shoot at the other range, you're welcome to do that, too. We'll have fun. You can have fun with us or without us. Either way, lets just all have fun. Rah?

I thought I'd post a list of the weapons I plan to bring. I will provide all ammo for our Wounded Warriors and any active duty military personnel who want to shoot these.

Handguns:
Beretta M9 9mm USMC model
FN FiveSeven 5.7x28
FNP .45 Tactical w/red dot and Osprey suppressor
Kriss Vector .45 acp pistol w/EoTec and suppressor
S&W 500 ES 2 1/2" 500 magnum
S&W 460 ES 2 1/2 460 magnum
Sig Sauer 1911/.22 with Tac-65 suppressor

Carbines:
FN FS2000 5.56 bullpup w/ACOG and Red Dot
HK USC .45 acp carbine
KelTec Sub 2000 9mm

Anyone else is welcome to shoot these as long as the ammo supply lasts.

The S&W 500 and 460 ammo will go to the WW and Active Duty free of cost. After that, others may shoot one shot free on me, then the 460 and 500 ammo costs $3 a shot.

This is pure torture I now have to beg a couple shots from those two, I have wanted to shoot /own one of those for a bit.. SO please reserve 2 shots each for me and I will gladly gleefullly pay the price per shot.. And 3 bucks a shot is CHEAP..

I would not let any free-loading-big-caliber-wannabes like me touch my 500 or 460 for anything less then 6 bucks a shot

Would rather not shoot when Steve is on....usually every Thursday. And they really do frown on shooting more than one round per second.

"Fred Bonewitz" is the range office in question.

ETA: No, I guess it's Bob.

LOL....

Might want to check out INGO member DNRrangemaster..... It's Bob....

Huh.

I thought for sure I saw Fred wearing a jacket with a badge that said "Bonewitz".

 

[Armed-N-Ready]

I hope to bring a couple active duty soldiers with me to try out their new to them, Mosin and Mauser rifles. I will most likely bring a 1911, PMR30, PS90 and an AR. Really depends on what screams "Take Me" that day when the safe door opens.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the range. Lets hope for a clear warm day.

I have seen your collection. How in the world can you possibly select something to take!

 

[DTOM]

Enjoy the putting all. Can't make it, but wishing I could!

 

[Ripper]

I'm going to try and make this, I just need to convince the better half that this is more important than moving. Or maybe letting me take a break from moving.

I'd like to have my son talk to some of the Vets that may be there in regards to his joining the service. He needs some first hand accounts of what its like, what to expect and what branch to look at for the field he wants to go into. If we are not allowed to go

, I'd like to meet up locally another time so that he can have a one on one with some of you (I'll buy the Coffee).

 

[chocktaw2]

RIPPER PSD, do you know if charcoal smokers are allowed on the range. I'm thinking food now.

^no idea at all maybe someone else does!

 

[IndianaSigma]

Ripper......I wanted to go also, but will be moving. We have to turn over possession of our house on that day. Bad thing is I won't make it......good thing is that we are moving from FW to Huntington and I will be close to Roush now. Trading the city and subdivision for a house in the country with some land and a stocked pond! Adios Fort Wayne!

 

[FortWayneGunfighter]

So about how many people are planning on coming to this? I plan to bring my younger brothers and sisters most have shot before, i think it would be a good time for familys to connect and teach each other about firearms and safety. Have a merry Christmas all hope to see you there. Anyone have ideas as far as food after or did chocktaw2 find out about the grills?

Better start counting the number of people who posted in the thread!

Dad and I are still planning to attend, and my girlfriend has said she's coming. Got a couple other friends who aren't on INGO who may or may not show up.

 

[nemo97]

Still plan on attending, though I doubt I stay more than 2 hours. Previous obligations (Thanks to the wife) will require my attention in the Fort by 3 p.m.

As for the range being closed, I checked the DNR site today and it stated the range will be closed at 25 degrees.
