·         Children must be at least 11 years old.

·         All minors must have a parent or guardian present at all times!

·         All minors wanting to shoot must have taken an accredited Firearms Safety Class.

·         All minors must have their Firearms Safety credentials available for inspection.

·         As always, guests are welcome at our meetings, but we would like to limit attendees (at the range) to only those who are going to shoot. Space is limited and non-participants create distractions and are a safety concern.

Please click here for a link to the Forest Lake Sportsmen's Club for more detailed information about the facility.

A detailed message should be arriving in your NCC roster-listed email "inbox" by now. It should answer all your questions. If you have any questions, email the Webmaster

The Officers ask that you keep the information & details "in-house", meaning paid/current NCC members only. We the are guests of a Sportsmen's Club member.

Check the Bill's website... It appears that "kids" are allowed with a waiver and parent/guardian present. My son is stoked - he wants to come along.

Once it's into April check your emails.

---

My 19 year old son and 22 year old daughter are also VERY interested in doing this! 

2 - for the meeting and shooting.

Shannan and I will be attending both events that day.

I'm going to try to make it to the meeting. I have a bracket here for Jon that I need to get to him. I won't be participating in the shooting part.

l What all will is cost per person and what all can we bring ?

 As I understand, the only cost should be your ammo ande targets.

I'm not sure yet if I can make it, AJ's birthday is that weekend...

In the email, it said 25yd range. Is there a longer range available for rifles?

If I come up, I'll bring handguns in .22, .380, 9mm, .40 and .45, and a few fun open sight rifles AR15, AK-47, and M1 Garand.

---

 Dang Derek. Instead of a go-kart track. You need a nice gun range.

Chris- he should be able to at least set it up the length of the track, assuming he does the uh "standard" 1/2 mile track.....:headbang:

Just bringing the small guns Derek? Is the Howitzer in the shop?

I'm planning on the meeting and range.  

Room for my own private rifle range is one of the requirements for our property search.

Jenna planned A.J.s birthday party for the day of the meeting, so I'm out...

I would suspect Joe's in St. Paul & Cabelas would also.

Gander Mountain is about the only place that has 32 auto in stock.

Here's the count I see so far for the Gun Range post meeting:

Jon H.-1

John D.-2

Mike-2

Steve S.-1

Loren-1

Stan-1

Mitch-Maybe?

That's 8 and 1 maybe.  I need anyone that is planning on shooting at the range shooting event to RSVP NOW so that we know how many people to count on.

Keep in mind that the club is paying the $150 range rental fee that was approved at the last meeting, so it is important to make a commitment if you are going to do this.

Thanks.

Stan

Count me in for 2.

Been trying to find a way to get to this one, looking at handguns and never shot one, or even held one I guess. Just have about a dozen things going on that weekend and it is 160 miles one way. Not gonna make it. Might have to visit Derek after he gets moved in, sounds like he has plenty of guns to check out.

I'm in. I would like to put some rounds through a .22. I will bring a box.

I also plan on taking pics, I will NOT be showing faces on anything that gets posted on the site or otherwise public.

---

We could only just take photo's at the meeting part and the shooting part can stay annonymous.

Dang, I bought a new ski mask for nuthin then.

I'll be doing the meeting and shooting as well.

You can take and post pictures of me while I'm shooting. I don't care. It will show people, not only do I own a gun, I know how to use it.

PS I'm also not afraid to admit, I like donuts too.

Stan, I will be attending also finally. This will be the first meeting this year for me. Will have gun in hand with ammo. :) At the range of course.

Unfortunately, I had a change of plans and won't be able to make it up to the meeting or the gun range.  Hope eveyone has fun.

Just bring some $$ to chip in, or a box of the caliber of gun you'd like to try shooting... It'll work out - if you don't shoot 'em all, the gun owner will. I'll have a few tablets of targets along to blow holes through.

SEE YOU THERE! 

Jon,

Would like to attend both the meeting and range with my son if it's not too late.

Thanks,

Jim Palamara

Shannan and I really enjoyed ourselves!  Thanks Jon for organizing and hosting the event and sharing your expertise and firearms.  Now I think Shannan will be wanting a Glock of her own!

I took a ton of pics, but only a handful came out well enough to post with all the motion. Even with it set as fast as it would capture, between the shooter moving from the recoil or the surprise pressure/sound from someones HANDCANNON (you all know know who you are) I sitll had a had time. I also was playing with light settings and didn't want to ue the flash much so it wouldn't disturb the shooters.

I had a blast. Haven't fired a pistol in a couple years. This was the first time with revolver and I liked it a lot. I ran though my whole box of 325 rounds. Thanks to Jon for letting me borrow it. Thanks to John for letting me put a clip of AK downrange. Thanks to Mike for letting me shoot a rifle with a scope. Thanks to Chris for letting me put a clip of semi auto 9mm down. Thanks to Jon for a couple wheels of .38 revolver to see the differece in recoil. I'm sure I probably forgot someone, so thanks to you too.

Here's some pics:
