NFA Day Alumni Shoot AARs - 9/27/09

[shooter521]

"Awesome" doesn't even begin to describe it. I will post some thoughts once I've had a chance to process everything. I took no pictures, but there were plenty of people shooting stills and videos, so I expect they'll start to trickle in soon.

A HUGE thanks to the vendors, attendees and our invited guests for a safe and immensely enjoyable event, and of course to Dave and Jenn for putting up with all of our shenanigans for an entire weekend.

More to come...

Yes, thank you to everyone for keeping this event safe and fun. Thanks to the Rices for their hospitality. I was a great time with lots of friends and lots of guns.

I wasn't planning to post any pics, but I found this epic shot of 40calPunisher blowing the ever-lovin' seeds out of a watermelon with a S&W .460 scoped revolver.

Weren't planning to post any pics?? One of the highlights of the day was your daughter smoking that Evil Tango Watermelon with the suppressed 10/22, and shooting the AC556 with the Ciener kit in it...

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of pics of us. Mostly video which I'm too tired to edit.

Many thanks to the event organizers, hosts and vendors. They have outdone themselves again.

Had a great time. a huge THANKS to Dave & family for the use of your beatiful property. now if the Thompson would just clean itself, it would be a perfect day.

I can't wait for the group photo of this event.

The person holding the Serbu in the aforementioned pic had the best line of the day.

WATERMELONS !!

Thank you to all you guys who let everyone mandle (mandle = man handle) all of your guns. And a special thanks to knobcreeknut for making one of my once thought impossible dreams come true. That truly is a beautiful machine. Now on to the videos.

Fenway giving the Thompson some love. Or the Thompson giving Fenway some love. Who knows.

Hahaha, that last video of Joe catching the hot brass is priceless!

Some observations. . . . .

• The FNC throws brass like I've never seen before. Shooting it in lane 2 means that brass is flying over lane 3 and into the woods.
• Kira is a cutie.
• The Thompson truly is a 'sweeper', even when you don't want it to be. (you know who you are, lol)
• The MP5, when suppressed, has a unique whoosh sound too it. It probably sounded the most like a "movie silencer", compared to the others.
• A BCM upper on an M16 lower is a thing of beauty, and reliability! Toss a smokin' hot M4 2000 suppressor on it, and you're off to the races!
• Don't mess with little girls shooting suppressed .22 rifles.
• When you think you might've broken a multi-thousand $$$ MG, minutes turn into hours, and you smile on the outside while your inside screams "OMG PLEASE DON'T BE BROKEN!!"
• S&W M&P45's have a much better grip than Glock .45s.
• Garlic fried potatoes, bacon-wrapped sausages, and biscuits make an awesome pre-NFA Day breakfast.
• I'm glad I wasn't hurt, because I didn't want Tinman touching me!

Thanks to all our returning guests, as well as some new faces. Alumni Day had such a nice relaxed atmosphere. At the end of the day, I was completely exhausted.

We got halfway home last night when she suddenly shouted "WATERMELONS!!" and then started giggling.

Priceless! Seeing how well she handled herself all day, and watching her shoot, do well and enjoy it was a real treat.

I'll be posting pics and video in the next couple days...I'm too tired now....

She's a good kid and she really didn't want to be there. When she heard there would be some reactive targets to shoot, she got excited about it. I want to thank anyone who passed on the chance to shoot a watermelon because it freed one up for her to shoot with the 10/22.

She managed to shred that thing with every shot, too! I was a little surprised at the damage a .22 can do.

I have to say that Sunday was incredible! I had an awesome time! Pretty much everything there was a first time item for me. I was all over that Serbu and I probably could have just shot that thing all day. Thank you BigCraig! And then, I had to go shoot that MP5. I shot it without the supressor because of weight and I would have then shot that thing all day too! Shooting the Tommy Gun was also fabulous. Unfortunately though I couldn't empty the mag. It was just too heavy for me. I have a bad arm/shoulder which is a little achy today but so is the rest of me.. hehehe I was afraid of hurting it so I was trying to be good and careful yesterday.

I am so grateful for people like Mr and Mrs LoveMyWoods for opening their home up to so many strangers this weekend and providing so much food. Their property is absolutely gorgeous. I'm very thankful to the vendors that brought all of the firearms. I know they know the joy they brought to everyone but I'm sure it's nice for them to hear.

It look a lot of work and planning on everyone's part there, so THANK YOU!

I will see if Little Spasmo will write a few words in a bit when she gets out of school. I don't know if she will but I'll ask her.

All the mod's kids were quite cute, very well behaved and very well mannered.

Time to cool Big Craig's suppressor

Here is the best picture of the day, do you see any resemblance to the Kevlar Bearded one?

If you're going to publicly humiliate me, at least do it in the right thread... that pic was taken after dinner on NFA Day, not the Alumni shoot.







And at least I got a dollar out of the deal!
