(and myself, of course)

to the INGO Brotherhood of the Fireball.

On December 13, 2008, we assembled at Hamilton County Fish and Game to enjoy a few hours exercising our Mosin Nagants. We began the day with the traditional INGO Sharing of the Bacon. After much Mosin noise, we broke for awhile to enjoy a small cookout of hotdogs, grilled sausage, sodas and homemade apple cobbler. We then returned to the range to finish out the afternoon. We had some fine weather and occasionally some of us even hit the targets!

It's BOOOM! or nothing. "pop" is not in Slab's vocabulary

It's not enough that Bhriindan82 was late, but he has to shoot lefty, too!

December 2008 Inaugural Class
INGO Brotherhood of the Fireball

Thanks to everyone who participated! I'm looking forward to the next outing. Hopefully we'll have some snow and hopefully I can get the club to build an "Enemy at the Gates" style partially-destroyed fountain to shoot from.

Thanks for posting a report. Looks like yo all had a great time. I hope to participate in the next outing.

 

[Fenway]

Great work Scutter!

 

[esrice]

Lookin' good!

 

[Bhriindan82]

Brotherhood of the Fireball, Sore Shoulders chapter? If you look in the other thread, there's at least 3 of us who "had a blast"...kinda telling, don't you think?

 

[imprimis5]

Thanks, Scutter. I'll be posting my video soon, as well.

Looks like it was fun, turns out my saturday event got canceled but I didn't find out until this morning, glad you all had fun.

 

[danielocean03]

My thanks goes out to everyone for the warm welcomings and the great time had by all. I had a great time and I look forward to future outings. Scutter01, thanks for hosting the event, I look forward to joining the HCFG, I really enjoyed the range.

Those beautiful Mosins are more than torpedo launchers! It's entirely possible that much of the nuclear testing we thought the Soviets were performing in the 50s and 60s may actually have been recruits at the range with Mosins.




Of course I joke, but no one can deny that the Mosin Nagants (especially the carbines) are absolute blowtorches with a pull of the trigger.

 

[Slab]

Thanks for the great event. We should do it again when its WARMER. It was a great deal of fun and now i need to find a 44. I wonder how something like that would do for a trunk "cannon"?

 

[Crystalship1]

Very cool!!!

So..... what... is everyone a midget or is "danielocean03" eight feet tall?!?!?

 

[Slab]

If you check out where we are standing he is on the higest point as well as being an ogre. so yes, he is 8 feet tall

On behalf of my son, imprimis5, who hasn't stopped talking about yesterdays's shoot:

[Slab]

awesome video. thank you for posting it.

 

[Scutter01]

I see danielocean03 has an awesome new avatar now, too!

 

[Hoosier8]

Jealous, got a Mosin, haven't shot it yet, maybe next time.

 

[babolat69]

Hope to be able to make the next one. My 91/30 works great but will have to clean the M44 beforehand. It will also give me a chance to use my Russian winter hat...

 

[Scutter01]

Since there already seems like a bit of interest, perhaps I'll plan another one for January. Next couple of weeks are far too busy, unfortunately.

This is the most I have ever seen you out in cold weather. Especially if you didn't HAVE to be..

Cold weather and I have this understanding. I'll stay out of it and that's pretty much it.

However, it's the lure of the Mosin....

You coming to the next one?
