Do we come armed down there in them there parts?
Derek69SS said
Sep 11, 2012
Yes! I have a shooting range in my back yard if anyone want to use it.
John D said
Sep 11, 2012
Little short barrel guns, or little bullet long barrel guns (or both)??
Derek69SS said
Sep 12, 2012
We can safely do up to about 110 yards, so rifle or pistol will be fine. I also have a clay pigeon thrower so shotguns are welcome too. If you bring something really interesting, I reserve the right to try it out!
I would probably favor pistols, as the noise would then be further from the shop and yard. I do want it to be a social event with wives and kids welcome, so I don't want it to be entirely focused on shooting, but if anyone wants to get a little range time in before winter hits, it's there and available.
We could just play it by ear too... if 30 people show up and all want to shoot, we can shoot all day. If 25 want to socialize and 5 want to shoot, then maybe just do pistols for a short time. I'll leave it up to the group.

Planning on it. I can bring a few old toys to play with too. I got a couple 1890's .22 rifles from Dad's collection along with a Winchester 30-30 he bought new in 1949 and an undated bolt action .410. Still gotta go to Fleet Farm for cases and cheap ammo.
Like anything else in this state in Oct, it's weather dependant on the toys.

I plan on being there, not sure who is rideing shotgun, but will have someone with. Hope the weather cooperates as would like to bring the 65 and get there in time for the fireworks!

I'll be there for sure. If everything works out and the weathers good, I might even bring the demo derby 64.

Do you have any birds, or should we bring some??
Derek69SS said
Oct 11, 2012
I have about 100 or so clays on hand.

How is the road construction around 52 and Rochester?
Back in Black said

Completed going south. Not an issue going north. There are better routes anyway.

Sorry guys not going to make it, making some good progress with the 55 I am hoping to get the motor and transmission installed tomorrow.

Derek thank you that was a great get together. Sorry had to leave so quick my wife let me know my son Kevin was having some issues, he is all better now. He sometimes gets a little over stimulated around a lot of people. He was doing real good then crash. I would like to thank Steve, Mitch and Darren for bringing and giving me the center caps and dash. The centers will come in handy on the Vette for some reason they get lost on spirited driving ; ) THANK YOU !!!!!! Had a great time and the food & people were excellent.
SShink said
Oct 21, 2012
Thanks again Derek and Jenna!!! And everyone for chipping in. There was some good eats today!
Had a blast catching up with everyone, and shooting some dirt and clay. I'm sure my shoulder will remind me tomorrow how much fun I had.
Here's some pics I took, I'm sure others will post as well.

Coolest club meeting yet. We had a great time and talked about it all the way home. Way to raise the bar guys!
John D said
Oct 21, 2012
A big thank you to Derek & Jenna!! Had a GREAT time. The time spent looking for a place really paid off! The shop(s) are waaaayyyy cool, and the upstairs party room is the topper. Plenty of food, and as always a great bunch of people to hang around with.
I think Dan gets a new nickname... DeadEye Dan - 1st time with a pistol and he puts 5 of 6 in a 4-inch circle at 10 yards! (#6 was only 1/2" out!) "Logi-leadslinger" got a few on-target as well until his hands started stinging. Very proud of him - another 1st timer, listened & understood the instructions, and got rounds on target!

Double 2X on this. Now I have to spend some more money on a new hobby!
Derek69SS said
Oct 21, 2012
Thanks to everyone for coming out! It was a lot of fun, and I'm thinking this could be an annual event!
I was surprised how many people came, how many Chevelles and El Caminos were present, and how much hardware was brought out to the range.

I hear that. After the meeting at Bills and this meeting at Derek's. I think I will have to start looking into saving some money towards this hobby in the future.

Ya I think there's a CF AR-15 in my future too...

It was a good time.

Oct 21, 2012
Thanks Derek! Jealous of the shops! Thanks for letting us shoot, haven't done that in a long time. I agree on the annual event. Once the other club members catch wind of how awesome it was today, they will surely come!! Food, Muscle Cars, and Guns...Is there anything better?
John D said
Oct 21, 2012
I saw lots of cameras hanging around necks... I need your photos for the archives!!
(Don't tinker or resize... I'll do that for the website)
Done

I noticed in yesterdays meeting that the cars kind of took a back seat to the guns and camaraderie to hanging out with food and friends and just getting to know eachother, catching up with each other, or getting re-aqainted with one another. There really wasnt a lot of guys hanging out at the cars that much of the day. Maybe a few guys here and there but I may not have noticed as much I suppose. It looked like a ghost town on that side of the yard most of the time I looked.
Which proves that after 10 years, we have become more about friends and family and just hanging out together then just about the cars. And thats just fine by me.
Scott Parkhurst said

You still have to finish your car though Chris! LOL..

Big thanks Derek for hosting this event. Had a great time hanging out and talking with everyone. The shop, game room, and range are fantastic! and I too think this should be an annual event. Next time I'm bringing my gun and my Chevelle (?)

Yeah, Stan didn't even take any pictures of them!
I think we had 11 Chevelles, and 3 Impalas parked in the front yard when the realtors were showing the house next door... turns out the guy looking at it is a Chevy guy, and came over to check out the cars. Not sure what he thought of WWIII going on in the back yard, but the cars probably made a good impression anyway.
Dad talked to him, and he has a '57 and another Chevy from the '60s (Dad couldn't remember what, other than it wasn't a Chevelle)

Yeah, all I had was my phone to take pictures, and I saw others taking pics of the cars, so hoped somebody would post those up too.

Lorraine and I wanted to add our "THANK YOU" to Derek and Jenna for hosting an enjoyable afternoon at their new ranch.
We had an opportunity to see again some members that we met at Friendly Chev as well as a chance to meet some others for the first time.
The "pot luck" was very good. Everything was really tasty and the company was great!
Dan Williams said

Were there actualy cars there? Here is a couple of pic's, I sent some more to John D for the website.
