DFW Get-Together May 14th was a blast! Thanks all!

[Hoi Polloi]

The restaurant came out clearly ahead. I'm going to assume Mercado Juarez unless someone speaks up and suggests elsewhere. The headcount poll for the range day is now up and running!

[baldeagle]

I will be there, but I have to be home by 1PM. So I will not be going to the restaurant.

[C-dub]

Add me to the count for the range and restaurant.

[Pawpaw]

I'll be there for both. I might bring another shooter.

[Diesel42]

Thanks Hoi!

I'll be there by myself and just me at the restaurant.
Happy Trails! N

[Griffen]

Thanks Hoi...

I'll be there and bringing my stepson. He's interested in getting his CHL, and has been trying out different firearms as he decides what his first purchase will be.

Mecardo Juarez is a good restaraunt and close by, but I'd also like to suggest another possible venue for consideration. The Texas Bar and Grill is located on Las Colinas Blvd, just off Hwy 114, and has an outdoor seating area along the banks of the mighty Las Colinas canal. (Yes, there is similarity to San Antonio riverwalk) Its got a decent lunch menu - as we used to go there fairly often when I used to work along the canal a couple of years ago. I offer that for those that may choose an alternate to Mexican food. I don't believe they are 30.06 posted as I recall. Thanks.

I'm in for the restaurant as well, most likely +1.

I'm bringing an XDM 4.5 (9mm), XDM compact (9mm), RIA 1911 (.45), and maybe a Mosin. If anyone is interested in trying them out just let me know.

So I guess that I missed it, the location is Elm Fork?
I'm not planning on bringing all of them but if someone NEEDS to try something out I've got a 92AFS, Kahr MK9, S&W 642(.38 all +p), Taurus 605(.357 mag), S & W M & P .45c, Ruger LCP, Colt 1911 officers', and a Ruger super blackhawk 7 1/2". Just let me know, of course you'll have to bring the ammo, I'm just a poor old glazer.

[Hoi Polloi]

Yes. It appeared to be the consensus. They'd like us to set up something special with them if we get over about 50 people, so a decent and early headcount, even if in the maybe categories, can give us a good idea of what we need to be planning for.

Bravo for you guys up north!

Mercado Juarez now has a competitor!

What do the rest of ya think?

While I'm asking your opinion: What do you think of the idea that I bring some solo cups and we can make donations to members whose bullets we use? They can just be placed at each lane. We can all bring some quarters and dollars. I believe most bullets work out to be about 10 cents to a $1 a piece (most being in the 25-60c range), depending on if they were reloaded or new, brand, quality, caliber, etc. Some people were very generous last year and let many try their rarer guns and I'm thinking it would be nice to have a way to take responsibility for some of the costs we incur, especially since we're setting aside specific time to help others this range day.

Great idea about the ammo. I just got a 1911 and buying .45 ammo puts a big old hole in my pocket

I'd love to make the trip up from Austin if y'all don't mind a complete forum n00b tagging along...

The more the merrier! Come on and bring a friend.

As Hoi has said, "DFW" refers to the location, not your address.

[RPBrown]

I plan on going. As long as I am not out of town
