Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns 1st Ever, 24hr Campfire Shotgun Shoot & Hoot, Vanzant, Mo., 9-10-11 Oct, 2015

Looks like we got a green light from the owner so I’m happy to offer the 24 hr campfire a camping/shooting event at my cabin!
But be in known, (For legal reasons, 24hr campfire and its staff is not affiliated with the gathering or the activities to be held, and is not liable for any actions during the meet.)

Since im kinda new here, let me tell you a little about me.
I enjoy bringing cyber posters on websites together to share something in common, shooting! Being retired military, I have a lot of free time to devote to my passion, shotguns, outdoors, and people. I enjoy it so much, that I bought this abandoned range a few years ago. It was part of an old cow farm. The owner built the range for his wife. Honest! The range is not a commercial operation. Its private and in my back yard. I use it now to have people come out and learn to shoot when I’m visiting the farm from Virginia. It also gives the locals something to do after those long hard days on the farm. I only visit up to Mo. twice a year, in October and April. Sorry, its the only window I can offer. Taking care of 3 families in 3 states isn’t easy.

It hurts to watch this range go to waste. so instead, I’d like to offer you all a chance to come meet me here. It'll be a great little getaway which I promise will be worth your time.
I use to shoot on the Navy Shooting Team. That’s rifle, pistol, and shotgun. I was on the world champion Navy Skeet Team that won gold in San Antonio Tx. back in the 90's. I know the game.
To make your visit worth the trip, I’m offering free instruction and coaching to all that sign up.
I prefer it to be 'bring your own shotgun,' but if you don’t have one, I will ensure some will be here for you to borrow for free. And too, others will surely bring some to loan as well.
I will open my clubhouse for free as well. The clubhouse is metal exterior w/ knotty pine, has running water, toilet, heat, and ac.
It has a kitchen, so anyone is welcome to use it to cook. I cant cook for you guys....I’ll be teaching on the range, so if you want to bbq or eat grub, bring your own food and cook it yourselves. I also supply ear plugs and coffee to all shooters for free.

The range parking lot is big enough for campers. I don’t have camper sewage, but I do have electricity and water hookups. Bring your extension cords and hoses. Its only one outlet on the pole, so use as many 3 way splitters you want until something pops. So if you want to bring a camper to save on motels, feel free. Pitch a tent for free too, if you’d like. I have benches around a girl scout ring for evening fires.

Weather is always the stick in the mud, so we all really do need to plan this as a weekend event. Banking on one day is a gamble. So plan it as a 3 day weekend. If you can get here Friday and it rains Saturday, it will give us wiggle room. If you leave Monday morning, even better. But I understand most of you must return for work and must leave Sunday. Sunday is a mostly a fallback day anyway.

Tickets are 50.00. Tickets confirm you’re serious. I don’t want to drive 1500 miles to set this up and have no one show because they didn’t feel like waking up. Tickets cover the cost of damage, machine maintenance, utilities, grounds prep/upkeep by my ranch hand.
Bring 10 boxes of shells and 3 cases of targets. You bring them, and I will toss them from professional traps.
Many pitch in to give free prizes to winners. We will all gladly receive any other donated items needed to hold the meet, like bbq briquettes, condiments, bag of ice cubes, extra cases of clay targets from Wal-Mart, sports authority, in case someone forgets or shows up late, etc...
we all pitch in to make it happen.
This match is designed for beginners to get a feel for the sport on a budget. I will shepherd you through the basics to the 5 different games for free.
Of course if you’re a skilled shooter, come as well! But to ensure there are no ringers, the top score must shoot against me in the last event if they want to win; because, I shoot in proxy for last place. If I win, last place wins the match trophy. High score wins the prizes. So don’t be scared away over a match due to a lack of skill. Its a lot of fun. One fellow hit 7 out of 125 and won the match!
And when the meet is over...we all attend a dutch steak dinner at the local pub called club 60 in mountain grove, mo.. It goes well into the night.

http://club60steakhouse.com/

so get out there in the forums and send people this direction. I look forward to meeting those that come. i will keep the thread updated. stop in from time to time.

heres the official invite. cut and copy it for your records. ask any and all the questions you may have.

Doc

gee, too bad.
im coming from va beach myself. i stay over in knoxville, and get to the cabin by 5pm next day. where are you off the bay? maryland?

bobski

Happy to hear you got this OK'd and ready to go.

If I win a trophy, do I have to take it?

Paul

We might be carpooling bud.. This could be fun. My 17 yo loves trap and so do I. An experienced educator like bobski would be real welcome.

Im interested. But the title says 9-10-11 oct 2015. Invite says Oct 17th. Am I missing something?

ah...i see it. thanks. 24hr doesnt give much time for edits before locking it out. sorry.
i wanted to offer 24hr the 16-17-18th. some have called me and said it may cut into dove season. so i figure i could put you guys in with another group for 9-10-11. it only has 10 slots left right now.
if you guys want 16-17-18, i can offer you 20 slots.
depends on how it fills up. if it seems to be lagging, i will fill the 9-10-11 slots first.
work with me. give me some feedback on a date guys.

until i can get a feel for what people like, i normally offer the shoot to start on sat morn. we normally get it all done by 6pm and go into town for steaks. trophies arehanded out, and those wanting to leave go home and campers wanting to stay a night come back. sunday is church so shooting starts at noon on sunday. those that stay get a chance to do some more shooting. the sat match is only 5 boxes. so everyone will have 5 boxes left over. its the best time to use up those 5 games.
in the past...a lot of shooters travel on friday from wherever and bed down in town. (30 miles away)(no joke)(nothing in between) or come to my place to make camp. saturday everyone converges at 9am. and the fun begins.
i always suggest, if you can get here early on friday, you can start shooting early in case it rains saturday. and....we can have night shooting fri night. saturday is still the main event but friday shooters get to log their scores friday and hang out until the final shoot sat afternoon....and eat, chat, etc.....
sunday then becomes a swing day in case more shooting is wanted. seems to work best that way.
so, the more the interest here the better we can see what weekend is best.
spread the word!

Heck yea! Lived there for a while, who do you know from Grand Haven? I know all those guys pretty well

the scott family mostly. but he moved away and joined the navy long ago. just goes home to visit now.

Unfortunately, I will be hunting in October. This sounds like a great long weekend.
Hope you folk have a fine shoot, and hoot.
Thanks to the OP for the invite, first class all the way.

Sounds awesome, but Oct. is our major big game month.. but a great thought and best of luck.. Maybe another time..

next time will be april. plan for it. maybe youll make that one.

still no takers.....:<

My no is simply because I'll be in Alberta duck hunting 2 weeks before and then deer season in KY with the family follows up shortly after. Tough to take that much time off work.

thats fine pugs. we just want to keep a list of those who were asked so someone else doesnt ask you. we know youd like it as a 'bingo' if you could. :>
there is always april too!

bobski, it would be a blast (pun), but I don't believe We'll make the trip either.

gee, thats too bad. where are you again?

dang...the list is going the wrong way!

Wisconsin, it would be about 9 hours one way, not undo-able,

but I would have liked to bring junior #3, He would have to miss a day of school. It just all starts to add up.

thats too bad. maybe april. try for then!

Likely not, for me. Come mid October I'll just be a few days home from a Wyoming trip. Bank will be broke...

I do have that weekend off, and it sounds like fun.
Hope your weekend fills out, but October is prime time for many of the guys who post here.

gee too bad.
just thought id give some locals a choice of adventures close by and cheap. cant tell unless i throw it in with the rest and try.
maybe april. if ya know anyone..send this way.

as i mentioned before, if 24hr campfire cant supply 10 names, im going to piggyback the meet on someone elses meet. good news is a lot of the prizes are already donated, so lucky you. heres the trophy for the lucky guy or gal.

I'll lead squad 2 @10:00 am Saturday, cause I might not be there in time to lead the 1st squad. I figure it's 7.5 hrs from OKC to your gate.

Paging Orange Okie...you need to get in on this.

if in the strange chance that you guys do pull off 10 guys, i'll make your meet a genuine 24hr campfire meet but youll need to supply your own donated prizes. keep that in mind. the more everyone gets involved with 'the pot,' the better the meet becomes.

and for all you lurkers out there watching with no intention on coming, if you want to help out the meet with a prize or a ticket paid for for someone who cant swing one....pm me and i'll be glad to accept it.

i know sometimes people get their hopes up and end up disappointed on vacations or long trips. but i found going to places where the main event is the people usually end up being the best vacations.
my farm aint 6 flags. its aint the bahamas either. but if you like down to earth fresh air relaxing around open fires, listening to mountain music, shooting, and camping....this is it. and like i said, im so far out in the sticks, we shoot into the night w/o complaints, under lights. go have smores at the campfire, grab your gun, and go shoot a clay game at night.
and i figured out how to post some pics...so i hope it will help you see what awaits you if you come.
bring rain gear...we shoot in the rain. im not afraid of rain, are you? :>

heres some more. age range of the meets swings from 15 to 85. no one is excluded.
enjoy.

someone asked me what the range rules were....here ya go.
-----------------------------
Range Rules:


Rangemasters decisions are final.
Drug or alcohol use prohibited on the premise. Period. The management has the right to deny shooting privileges if detected.
Eye and ear protection required when shooting or in the shooting area.
Guns & ammo are subject to inspection. Shoulder stocks are required.
Guns entering the clubhouse must be opened and confirmed empty before racking.
Shouldering, dry firing, and loading of firearms in the clubhouse is prohibited.
A game is 25 targets. Shoot only 1 shot at 1 target.
Extra targets not allowed, unless one is thrown broken.
Carry only one gauge of ammo when shooting.
Load only when you are on a firing station. Otherwise, keep your firearm unloaded with the action open.
Load no more than 2 rounds at a time.
Load only 1 round on station 8 high house and 1 round for ATA trap.
Don’t swing past the center stake on station 8.
Everyone shoots station 8 high, then everyone shoots station 8 low.
If your gun gives an odd report, cease fire, unload your gun, and check the bore for an obstruction.
Stop all shooting when a cease-fire is called. Open all actions and unload.
Be alert for people in the shooting area or downrange.
Don’t shoot at wildlife or livestock. Dogs must be leashed and policed.
Don’t shoot if an orange cone, flag, or hat appears on the trap bunker.
Don’t walk past the far edge of the houses unless loading the bunker.
Don’t shoot the houses. If you do, confess and paint it.
No shot larger than #6 allowed on this range.
Children must be kept within arms reach at all times. Infants not allowed on the range. Period.
Children who can not safely hold, mount, or swing a firearm properly, may not shoot.
To reduce the risk of lead ingestion, no eating or smoking while shooting. It is advised to thoroughly wash hands and face after shooting.
You may keep whatever hulls you came with. All others are club property and must remain.
Did i say the rangemasters decisions are final? Good. Just checking.

seems very reasonable and consistent with other range rules to me, thanks for posting.

yep. it all comes from the FM-1O common sense manual. :>

That's a good number of shooters. Let's get some more.

squads are 5 people we have 2 fields. we have 10 in a morning, 10 in an afternoon. thats just one days worth. so in a sense, we got room for a whole friday and a sunday afternoon of squads!
so dont be shy. bring a camper and cram it with your buddies and join us.

and again, keep in mind, the car, the job, the kids, the back pain etc.....
33% no show at these meets. thats 1 in 3.
so there is always room to shoot.

still looking for those interested. give us a buzz.

so....if oct isnt a good time for all the hunters out there, with a 10 months heads up...how will april 16 fan out for a shoot?

still got plenty of room folks.

I'm good for a solid maybe for now.
Won't know for certain for about a month yet...

ok good!
...that makes 2 more maybes.
keep in mind guys...im piggybacking the match with another site. we got 20 maybes now with 18 seats.
if everyone decides at once, someone gets bumped. tickets now beat out the maybes later.
and as mentioned before, even if you cnx oct, its good in april 16, no loss.
fyi.
