Possible M4C Virginia/Maryland/Etc Get-together?

[John_Wayne777]

This idea was brought up in another thread, but I think it's got potential....

Any M4C guys interested in a little get-together at the NRA range over the holiday period? I've never been there but I hear it's nice and it's not an obscenely long distance away.

Anyone interested?

Definitely count me in. I'm in town except for Christmas Day and the day after.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Except on holidays, the range is only open Fr-Mo during the day. It's closed completely on Tuesdays, and open only in the evenings on We & Th.
• If enough of us are going, we may be able to reserve a few lanes. Otherwise, the range is very busy and it will be difficult to keep everyone in one place for a long period of time.
• If you have not been to the range before, you must take a range safety test before being allowed onto the range. This is a written test and takes 15 minutes or so. There are absolutely no exceptions (no "I'm an NRA instructor" or "I'm a cop") ... if you want to step foot on the range, you have to take the test.
• When you pass the test, you get a range membership card. This costs $10.
• Each person on the range will cost between $8 and $18 depending on (1) how many people are on each lane and (b) whether you are an NRA member or not.
• There are a number of places to eat, ranging from the cheap to the very expensive, within a five minute drive of the range.
• While centerfire rifles are allowed on the range, no steel core ammo (M855) is allowed ... do not bring green tip to shoot through your M4.

I am down. I'll be here all that week.

I'm in, tentatively. I'll be in Kentucky Dec 23-25, and there's some slop in time I need to nail down. I'm a member there, if it comes down to sparing costs by sharing lanes.

[jasonhgross]

Already a member here.

I'm in! I may even bring the kids to let them watch the fun.

Cheers,

As long as it is not during the days when I will be quarantined (Dec 31 - Jan 2); I will make every effort to be there.

[jasonhgross]

yeah and I refuse to bring out any M4's to this

[Littlelebowski]

I'm down. Looking forward to it. We could always brave the cold here which has an outdoor range with a 100 yard lane. It's about an hour and a half away from Fairfax.

I'm in - my daughter might tag along to shoot too

[M4arc]

I would love to join you all but I just came back from Reston and I think that was my last trip up there for the rest of the year. Luckily right after New Years I get to head to the sunny, warm south for January and February

[VA_Dinger]

I would certainly be interested in attending.

[Vinh]

I'm interested.

What's up with my avatar? Dinger, you do that?

It seemed to fit the Vihninator.

[TOrrock]

Someone pick a date and I'll see if I can get up that way.

[MTR7]

Guys count me in. And the outdoor range sounds like the better of the two options.

As long as it's not the Saturday after Christmas, I'm in. Shooting a 3gun match that day.

[GunSlinger]

I can make it if its on a Sunday

[mmike87]

I would, but I'll be out of town all week.
