The gate is before the pond coming down the hill, yes it on the east side of the pond. When I say go, point to the right. Bill P Missing YB-VP www.billp.smugmug.com

Roadster Pilot	Getting ready for the event	#42	[url]	[-]
Posts: 225 04/25/08 9:48 PM	So when I told my wife about the Skoot and Shoot event she said "I can't believe you found a group that likes motorcycles and guns!" So I'm getting my gear ready for the event.

Roadster Pilot	.22 target pistol	#43	[url]	[-]
Posts: 225 04/25/08 9:50 PM	The .22 target pistol is ideal for those who have never fired a hand gun. I am bringing 1,500 rounds of .22 long rifle and lots of targets.

Roadster Pilot	9mm will also be available	#44	[url]	[-]
Posts: 225 04/25/08 9:53 PM	I will also bring at least one 9mm and 500 rounds of ammo in that caliber. Let's just hope the weather cooperates.

FYI, years ago (before the kids) I was a licensed firearms dealer with a modestly successful speciality in military style "assault rifes," and a regular competitor in NRA "action shooting" and IDPA (more real world self defense) events. Now I just plink for fun and my "collection" has been reduced to a mere fraction of it's former size. MA being a very unfriendly gun state (with AG having ability to write "consumer protection" regulations to require certain "gun safety" features) limits my ability to buy any new and truly interesting handguns. Over the past 20 years I have sold many "assault weapons" from my collection for 20 to as much as 50 times what it cost to acquire them in the 1980's!!!

If Roy is scared, something is wrong here. RP is now on my 'Seriously Deranged' list. This is a pretty short list. In fact, I can't think of anybody else on it at the moment. Mayhap we should create a new board position of security officer, or perimeter control, or something?

In general, firearms (collecting and shooting) are one of the few recreational activities (besides riding Harleys) where you can sell for a profit after getting a lot of use from the item. I don't know of too many other hobby activities one can pursue that are as financially sound. Roadster Pilot wrote: Handguns, ammo, targets and safety gear fit nicely into the Adventure cases.

DrMike	Shoot and Scoot was a HOOT!	#54	[url]	[-]
Posts: 19 04/28/08 9:29 PM	Roy, Craig, and Bob - Thanks for a wonderful time at the 'shoot and scoot', and for lending your expertise. I never thought that I would find myself shooting a handgun and enjoying it! Gary and Frank, it was great to go trap shooting with you - I only wish I had scored higher ;-) To all who did not make it, here is a story to give you incentive to go next year -- On the way home I ran into a group of 'outlaw' harley riders - you know the type -- probably posers, but looking real bad and sounding real loud. Very unusually, I found myself not the least bit intimidated - Probably had something to do with the shotgun I had strapped to the back of the bike! Now if I could only find a way to modify one of those 'John Wayne' type leather rifle carriers that go on horses, and get it on the bike in time for next years ride ;-)) -Dr. Mike

Posts: 1289 04/28/08 10:50 PM	Dr Mike, Glad you enjoyed yourself! But I got to say, I had a blast! The camping the night before was just fantastic. Great food (Thanks Chef Craig), great BiLevel fire, and a beautiful campsite.............It just don't get any better. And the folks that showed up for the shooting were super! I was a bit concened about safety with so many folks, but with the help of all the LTC folks there to help, it was not only fun, but very safe. Can't wait for next year!

Posts: 1241 04/29/08 7:01 AM Administrator	I had a super time as well ! I have never had a Bi- Level camp fire before ! And we were roughing it - So I had to use Bills Grill which I am not used to ! It was fun seeing the enthusiasm that many of our new Expert shooters showed. And when we got around to shooting the Big Ruger with a scope, everyone was hitting the plates ! I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Sunday night the hardest choice - Should I use Shooters Choice or Hoppes 9 ? I used Hoppes just love that smell. Craig

DrMike	LTC Course?	#58	[url]	[-]
Posts: 19 05/01/08 2:28 PM	Roberto, Roy: Now that you have me interested I am looking around for a used P22 - but need to take the LTC course first. Any suggestions of where to take it? I live on the North Shore (Newbury). Thanks! - Mike

Posts: 1289 05/01/08 2:31 PM	Your best bet is to call your local police department. They have a list of instructors. Or the local gun shop usually has a source. I will be teaching a course for the YB members that want to take it, but it will be in the Dartmouth Ma area sometime in late May. Stay tuned.........

Roadster Pilot	GOAL	#60	[url]	[-]
Posts: 225 05/01/08 4:43 PM	Contact the Gun Owners Action League at www.goal.org as they offer courses. Also I believe you can take the course at the Hamilton Wenham Gun & Rod Club or at the Danvers Fish & Game Club. There are links on GOAL's website for all the affiliated clubs in the state.
