Work Social events
« on: January 28, 2010, 04:26:36 AM »
how good is this


next week  we are having a social club event after work   


the plan is  to go to the indoor pistol range  and have a few shots 

.9mm, .45acp  .357 and .44 mag   I also have organised to have a 12G  as well   have Hunting loads of BB's  for that extra fun ;)

also have a few that have never seen a gun before  so it should be lots of fun..


then after to the pub for a few quite ones



yes it helps when I organise it    have about 14 that say they are going to it

also have my Mrs going as well   so it will be fun   




have you guys ever done anything similar ??
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

I've only invited people I work with to go shooting, versus gone as a group.  When I lived for 15 years in Chicago it was like locating hen's teeth to find someone to take shooting.  Now that I'm in SW MI it is a little easier...just less time to do it.

 When I worked at Thompson Center they had a "Family fun Shoot"
The Production Managers Father had been plant Manager the first time I worked there, so I asked him if we had to bring our own family or could we shoot at his. He had been my supervisor back then and got the joke .  ;D

Recently I've been working part-time at a gun shop with an indoor range.  There are groups there all the time from work, churches, birthday parties - you name it.  The range rents automatic weapons, too.  Many of the groups rent the full-auto's to shoot.  The owner even rents a Barrett .50 BMG.

.50 BMG in an indoor range?   I wonder if anyone notices when the trigger falls.....

There are two separated ranges, a larger one and a smaller training range.  The .50 is used on the smaller training range and it is closed to the general shooters while the .50 is rented.  However, you hear and feel the shot all over the range and shop.

It also makes a big boom in the wallet at $60/hr plus ammo.

Not only do the people from the radio station go shooting together,  but several of the staff recently took their  CCW training and got their CCW permits together.  That is one safe place to be these days.  lol

I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!
