Kansas City Missouri/KCK

[KC44]

I'm headin' out to Pioneer Gun Club's outdoor range this saturday to spend some time on my carbines. The outdoor club is located 6 miles south of the Bates City exit on I-70 (Holden, Missouri). If any of you locals are interested in checkin' out the facility, I would be willing to take several of you out there as guests. I'll have to limit it to three or four at most. If it looks like there will be more than that we can always set up another weekend and I'll take the rest out for a look see. There is no charge for guests, but any donations can be dropped off at the clubhouse at the end of the day.

So sound off if you're interested.

I'd like to check it out and will bring a few toys.

That's one!

We'll set up a meeting place and time tomorrow or friday.

[pcsguy88]

Damn. I have to work this Saturday night and would kill to shoot my 5 day old mini 14.

[Spartan299]

I'll give this a little more time before I shut it down for the week.

KC: PM me and we will begin setting a meeting time and place. Any "toys" ya wanna bring are fine with me. I'm just bringing out my M4 and my Sig556 so that I can try out a Beta Mag I picked up at the last gunshow.

That is one sweet mag you got there.

I'm bringing my Remington 700 varmint/sniper in 308. I just put dressed it up in a HS-Precision stock and added their bottom metal assembly with detachable 10 round mags. Also put a Jewell trigger in it that is set at 1lb. Can we shoot 300yds at Pioneer?

Probably bring the Colt H-Bar target AR-15 to see if it is still on. And I'll bring my 80x spotting scope. PM is on the way.

Id love to come out and shoot, but I have drill this weekend.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, Whiskey. We can go out there another time, brother. No worries.

We have 200 yards. Sorry, no 300 yard range.

I shoot at 2 or 3 of more different ranges a week and this weekend I need to watch my boy pitch college baseball. Maybe in the future there will be more folks that want to partake in the fun. aka... Next time.

[Spartan299]

Not a problem. I'm still headin' out there even if everyone wants to be party poopers.
I gotta practice anyway and the new gear needs checkin' out.

Next time.

[wamba]

I too was led to believe that Pioneer had 300yrds, oh well 200 is still better than Lake City. I'll have to keep a closer eye on this thread as I wouldn't mind having a look at a range with a little more distance.
Also I hadn't been told that Crossfire only allows factory ammo, I almost always use reloads there & it's never been a problem. Now I do know that they don't allow steel core.

[Spartan299]

I hear that the guy that runs the range at Crossfire doesn't want shooters to pick up their spent brass. I'm not willing to give them a range fee and then let them scrounge my brass and make a profit off it.

That aside, PGC's annual membership is a lot cheaper than a years worth of Crossfire time and you have the run of about any kinda shootin' you could ever want. Indoor pistol range for the winter months and a huge and very complete outdoor range for rifle, pistol, or shotgun. I did go out last saturday from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.and got to try out the KCI 100 round mag......not happy with it. Way too many FTF and double feed issues, but I'm gonna give the merchant I bought it from one more try. He's gonna swap it out for another 100 round mag. If this one doesn't work right , he'll refund my money.

I spent a little time cowitnessing a new rear BUIS on my Sig carbine and got it up to speed. The rest of the time I spent talking to other shooters and, in general, just having a great day at the range. The weather was fantastic, the company was good, and I got to shoot my favorite two carbines. Life don't suck!

This next weekend my son is returning from the Marines and once he gets some sleep under his belt, we plan on heading to the range for some father/son competition. Most likely he'll kick my a$$ on the carbine (maybe), but I'll take him to the cleaners with the pistols. The great thing about it is that we get to spend time together doin' something we both enjoy. Needless to say, I'm not inviting anyone out that weekend.

We'll look at maybe the weekend after this one and see if any of y'all are interested again.

I would be interested in seeing the Pioneer Gun Club. I live in Independence so it doesn't sound like it is too far from there.

[KC44]

Going to attend the gun show in Independence on Saturday. Any other ZSer planning to attend?

[Spartan299]

I'd go, but I've got other plans and a laundry list of honey do's for saturday. I'm gonna head out to the range on sunday, so the previous invite to the group still stands.

Thinking about it. I'll PM you Saturday if I can make a range trip on Sunday. I could use a few pointers on shooting my Glocks since I seem to be pulling my shots low and to the left a bit and my buddy seems to have this ragged hole in the middle with his.

KC

[Spartan299]

Sure thing. I'll check back here saturday to see what's goin' on. Any other takers?

[Gun Rock]

I'll be working at the KCI Expo show this weekend. I heard the Indep show isn't that good.

[Spartan299]

I think the one in Independence is a Metcalf show, but I'm not sure. The Metcalf show last time was heavily attended on saturday and kinda slow on sunday. Not really an issue since it was the first show they put on in that venue. I may pop in there for a few minutes, if I can find the time. Definately goin' to the range sunday.

[wamba]

Damn I knew I should have checked in. We had company over the weekend & a buddy flew in late Sun. But we still managed to hit the KCI Expo show late Sat. morning. Not too bad, we actually found a real good deal on a case of ammo that we snapped up.
I'll have to keep a better eye on this thread.

[smokinbunta]

o.. im in OP

[Gramaton Cleric]

Im game Lee Summit! im going to read all the posts now!

[Whiskey]

I would like to get another meeting together soon. With all the weather we have been having, I would really like to have someone who knows stuff about CERT, urban search and rescue, volunteer fire/ems. Lets try for something early on in June.

[sveach]

Whiskey,

I know we exchanged emails before and I stopped responding, but I had some family issues to deal with...

I have more time these days. Ive already been through CERT training so I have some experience there. I'd like to go to the next meeting if I can. I do agree that with all the weather, we could use all the help we can get. A tornado touched down about 9 blocks from where I work today.
