.I was planning to bring lots of extra standard ammo like 9, 38, 45, but if someone has a FN five-seven or somesuch,absolutely I'd chip in to cover the costs. This hobby can get pricey.Hoi Polloi wrote:Mercado Juarez now has a competitor!Griffen wrote: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.
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.
This sounds fun.Excaliber wrote:Elm Fork has a couple of steel plate bays that allow man on man (or woman) competition under conditions that add a bit of stress to the performance. It might be fun to include this activity instead of limiting ourselves to the static range.
There is an extra cost for using both ranges.
I vote for the Texas Bar & Grill.Hoi Polloi wrote:I just got a message from a lurker who'd like to be added to the count.
Any opinions on the food?
We currently have the large open space of Mercado Juarez with its Mexican food or The Texas Bar and Grill which has an outdoor seating area along the banks of the mighty Las Colinas canal ala the San Antonio Riverwalk.
I tried to look up the place and couldn't find much. From what I did find, it seems like a likely possibility that the establishment could be 51% posted. I don't know how to look up TABC licenses. Will someone please do that?Excaliber wrote:Hoi Polloi wrote:I vote for the Texas Bar & Grill.
I would be happy to help coach on the basics outlined above.Hoi Polloi wrote:Also, can I get some volunteers for the helping others part of the day?
-I know there is a request for help with basic grip, stance, and shooting techniques.
-I would like holster help yet again. If anyone has a bellyband that's on the smaller circumference side, I'd like to try that. (I've only been able to put my hands on ones that can go around me twice.) I don't think I'm going to like it, but I want to give it a whirl. Anyone who can bring holsters or offer a little holster help clinic would be greatly appreciated!
-Andy, do you want to do a skeet tutorial then or wait until after lunch?
