South Florida Mitsubishi Enthusiasts

Guys, we will (finally) be doing a SoFla DSM/SFME range day!

The date is set for Sunday, April 17th at 11AM. We will be going to:

Shoot Straight
7171 Southern Boulevard
West Palm Beach, FL 33413

This is an indoor range (which means it may be COLD inside!), and is BRAND NEW so it should be quite nice. They have 14 pistol lanes, and 4 rifle lanes. The range fee is $13 per person PLUS ammo! There may be some free ammo available for you to shoot but supplies would be limited so you will need to purchase/bring your own (you can either buy it ahead of time, or purchase it at the range).

The current list of arms we have available is:

Pistol:


Rifle:


As more or less folks indicate interest, the lists are subject to change.

NOTE: Shooting ranges require CLOSED TOED SHOES and SLEEVED SHIRTS. If you're bringing your girlfriend, I STRONGLY suggest she NOT wear a nice low cut boob-showing shirt. If she decides to wear something like that anyway, let her know that she will probably go home with burns on her titties from hot brass going down her shirt! She will also probably want a sweater, and you might too!

It isn't usually cold in there. I go in shorts and short sleeved shirt and I'm totally fine.

Should be a blast! Pun intended.

That's two folks who can't make it due to the date... Perhaps the following week then? April 24th?

Omar, Mike -- is that good for y'all too?

Ah, 24th is a no-go for me too.

17th it is then, and we can do another one in May on perhaps the 15th.

Looking like it's just the three of us. The wife unit may or may not come. Not sure on that one yet.

We're shooting guns, not standing around looking at shitbox DSMs.

My car won't be ready either. All that means is I have a much better chance of getting there and back without breaking something.

I know, It was more of personal thing. Hence, why I
said "This gives me a date to get the car running by".

So, Omar, Mike, Brian, Agim, ??, myself, and my wife. Anyone else?

Should be good. Hopefully all the gun owners bring guns to share!

Also, I'll be leaving the long guns at home. Too much shit to carry otherwise. The AR-15 pistol is coming though!

That was fun!

I'm definitely in for the next range day, real educational as well.
Will and Mike are a bunch of killers.

I had a great time. Thank you, Will, for letting us use your stuff, I now have an itch to get an AR and a SIG lol. Here are the vids I got.

When are we going shooting again?

I have been looking at Sig prices over the last week(window shopping).
About purchasing my first hand gun I will start a new thread.

I'm just wondering when we'll have another day and maybe something in Broward?

Well, Omar, you might just be in luck. I am looking to sell my Sig P226 in .40 S&W if you are interested! I'm just looking to get a 1911. The sig is a great gun though!

Buy 'em now, while you can. The election is coming and the frenzy is already pretty well under way.

If this one is anything like 2008, it'll take nearly two years for pricing and availability to get back to "normal".

Also, I should add... It may be better to do our next group outing sooner rather than later. I'm hearing from a lot of the guys I know in the industry that ammo is starting to disappear a-la 2008 (post election) as well.

Combined that with heading towards the latter part of 2012 (which the preppers are sure contains "doomsday" so they're starting to stock up big) and you've got a perfect storm.

In short: bulk 9mm has gone up $35/case (from $190 to $225) since last month.

Even better reason to buy mine! Lol. I'll give you a good deal, O.

Damn, I just realized it's been a year since our last shoot! No wonder this got brought back up when it did!

Let me poke around and see what I can come up with range/date wise.

I have an idea for a place, but I'm not sure if it will be available to us or not (it will also be dependent on how many shooters we have).

We'd probably need 10 shooters at a minimum. I think we should be able to get that between "us" and "plus one"s.

Omar (+1?)
Mike +1
Me +1
Paul (+1?)
AWDSM (+1?)
"D" (+N?)
Agim

Who else?

Depending on where we go, we can possibly play with some explosives too.
