Buffalo Area Meetup?

[Mike]

As a side note for the guys that like to fish, the swamp across the street from the ranges has some nice bass in it. I'm sure if we set something up and have enough guys committed a few of the closer guys could go out and secure a spot. We could do a Phone number list for the guys that are coming further away. That way if there is any problem we could give them a call.
It only takes me about 15 minutes, but I wouldn't want the guys driving an hour or 2 to get here and not be able to shoot for some reason.

I'd be interested in going but only to hang out, still waiting for my pistol permit.

You don't need a pistol....... Rifle, shotgun,BB gun, blowgun, slingshot, I think it's more about meeting up with a great group of guys, the guns and shooting is just a better way to explain to the wives and girlfriends that we are going out to play with our new friends. Hell, bring a straw and some spitballs LOL!!

Id be game to pull in some bass

Id also have no problem going early to secure a spot... im not super close but if nobody else can make it early I would probably be able to

Swamps would be great.. Then we could go to the Alabama hotel for lunch/supper depending on when we finish..

just an idea

Is the Alabama hotel still open? Last time I was by there I didn't see any signs or anything on the building. They did have good food though.

If we did a weekend a few guys would probably need to go early to get a spot. a few of them have some good sized areas where we could set up some tables and maybe a couple pop up tents (depending on the weather) not many shade trees around. I'm sure we could come up with some Ideas if we were to make a day of it.

Alabama hotel is still open

Ive never been to the swamps range but if they have the room and allow people to set up shade canopy's and stuff that would be cool

There is enough room on the middle berm for all that . If people got there early enough before noon then that spot no matter the day could be held
you can't start shooting there till noon of course I used too take the Rez trip for smokes and always went around the corner too do some plinking

[Nightshift82]

I'm interested, weekends anytime, during the week after 4pm.
Set a date.

[KBurdo]

I'm down. I have some new toys we can shoot. Set a date & time.

Ended up joining Hartland CC. It wasn't as far as some of the other clubs and I really liked the outdoor range. I usually go out there a couple of weekends per month depending on free time, etc.

I don't think anyone should feel as if they need a pistol permit for a meet-up. Bring a long gun (AR, rifle, shotgun, etc.) as they are plenty fun for plinking at the swamps.

Agree that Alabama Swamps is probably the best location. No worries about range fees, club membership, or plinking bans. Seems like this NYF Buffalo meet-up has the potential to turn the Swamps into the Wild West at some point in the future. LOL.

How long have you been a member at Hartland? This is my 2nd year there. I am usually there on Fridays trimming the grass and cutting the weeds on the berms. Great range. Do you ever go to the meetings?
