Would you guys would be interested in doing a group shoot locally?
I have access to a 100 yard range that can host up to 10 shooters comfortably. The first shoot would be pretty basic and would cover things like sighting in, shooting from different positions, and just getting to know your carbine and gear.

Depending on when I could be game
I never pass up an opportunity to have fun! Pls put me on the list of interested persons.
I'm always down for some range time.
Depending on location and date...
Sure. Saturdays are best.
"Say when..." Doc Holliday
I forgot to mention... I've got a couple pieces of pistol steel and 6 target stands if needed.

I am thinking November 20 or 27. Let me know what works for you guys.
Zhurdan, I was thinking of just carbine stuff on this outing but you could bring the pistol steel if you want to play around with them.
It wouldn't be much to bring it along... just in case! :D
Where you thinking about having this shindig?

If you do one another weekend, put me on the list.
I'll put in my preference once the wife gets her next work schedule. Current one only runs through the first week of Nov.

I sent a PM to everybody with more details. Let me know if you did not receive one.
I would be interested. Please send me the details.
WSA range, Kaysville, or Parley's Canyon?
Ok, wife came home with work schedule on Saturday.
I am good on Nov 27. Not good on Nov 20.
Whatever day works best for everyone is fine by me but the above is my preference.

OK, based on some other people I have spoke with the 27th seems best. If anyone else has not heard from me or has any questions then send me your email via PM for more details.

A couple people have emailed me asking if we are still on for the 27th and the answer is YES!
I will be sending out another email in the next couple days with the full details so let me know if you do not receive anything. While our get together is going on my wife will be hosting a ladies handgun event. If there are any gals that would like to shoot with her then let me know via PM.

Well I had a really good time. You just never know what might happen when you throw an open invitation out on the interwebs to a group of unknown people but as usual, gun guys are typically good guys, and M4c people are definitely good people. :)
I tried to keep this as informal as possible and leave it to the shooters to figure out how they wanted to run it and I think it worked out really well. My biggest concern was that we ran things safely and that everybody would gain something from the day. The safety part was excellent (good job guys) and I know I gained a few things from the drills and knowledge base. I want to set this up again but will probably wait for a good day in February to get past the cold months.
The weather turned out to be colder than expected but it wasn't raining or snowing so I had to be thankful for that. Thanks to all who braved it and ran the guns and drills in a safe manner even though traction was limited. A special thanks to Brian G and Zhurdan for helping out with drills, and Reed for taking some photos.
Here are a few snapshots of a good time:

Looks like a good time was had. Wish I could have made it. Looking forward to the next scheduled event.
Fun day. It was a bit nippy out, but we kept moving around enough so that it wasn't unbearable. Speaks to me a bit about gear. Especially on the lower body. Need to get some better cold weather gear for my legs and feet.
Thanks again Kirk for putting this together. I thought some of the group had a few learning moments and that is always a good thing. I know I did.
Running the FAL, even in the relatively low round count that we did, woke me up a bit and let me know that my weekend outings with the FAL aren't really very realistic. Definitely needs some work there. Getting used to the TR24R is coming along nicely, but the recoil management of the .308 is going to take a while.
It was very nice to meet the folks I've never seen before and great to see Mark and Brent again. Looking forward to a carbine class this May!
I would like to be on the mailing list for any future events. :D

Let me know for the shoot in March and I will be there.
Gents, I don't want to pollute this thread too much, but just give all interested parties heads up on upcoming Pat Rogers classes (pistol and carbine) in April and May. I decided to mention it here rather than in "Training" as I am not affiliated with neither Pat nor people who are bringing him here. So, I didn't feel at liberty to make formal announcement. I also asked Michael D. to forward this info via email since I don't have everybody's emails. PM me for a contact info for class organizers.
I would love to get in on the Pat Rogers course, but it doesn't look like the funds will allow it this year.

The next workshop/get together is on March 19th.
If you did not get my email and would like to join us then please send me a PM.
I'll be there. Should be another fun day of shooting.
How did march go? Any plans on a summer event?

March went well and we are having another one July 30th. If you have not been getting the emails then send me your email address via PM. I had to switch email programs a while back and may not have gotten all the addresses transferred.

Send a PM over to MarshallDodge with your email address and he'll send you the official invite email with all the necessary info including pics of the last workshop.
Just wanted to say thanks to MarshallDodge and crew for a great time at the carbine workshop today. It was well worth the time and ammo!
Sorry I couldn't make it this time guys. Twisted the holy living shit outta my ankle while getting stuff into the truck to head down there. Yay for stupid dog toys!!
Just wanted to say thanks for the last shoot (Sept 17th). I thought it went really smooth. I only stayed until noon and had to take off, but I got a lot out of it and saved some ammo for next time.
