2013 Appleseed events

[Modeler]

I plan on bringing my AR for Sunday. Should I have it sighted in for 25 meters too?

 

[Kimber Custom]

Yes, for .223 that should also be your BSZ for 300y.

 

[Glock Jock]

thanks!

What is the parking situation for the Eagle Creek event? Specifically, I'm looking at bringing my MH and just dry camping for the night rather than heading home and coming back. Would this be possible? I just looked at a Google map of the location, but I'm not sure exactly where the event is being held at.

Edit: Is Douglas Ridge up at the end of Dale Road?

There's quite a bit of parking space and you wouldn't have any problems getting in or out but I don't think DRRC would allow non members to stay on sight overnight. It is a private range. I'll make a phone call to find out. Barton and McIver would only be a few minutes from the range.

 

[trainsktg]

Thanks you for checking.

Both Barton and McIver appear to be day use only. Not sure if just parking along the park road is considered in violation of 'day use only' or not.

Just about a week left until the Appleseed at Eagle Creek. Still 18 spots left according to the registration site. Some of you should sign up and come on out.

I'd love to do an Appleseed, but I can't find ammo...

 

[Kimber Custom]

Every year Appleseed faces a variety of obstacles; not enough ranges, not enough instructors, not enough shooters etc. Ammo is going to be a challenge this year.

From what I can tell, spectators are welcome. You can at least listen to the stories and lessons. You never know, someone there might have some extra ammo they'd be willing to sell. You can register the day of the event if there is space available. I plan on bringing a couple thousand rounds of extra ammo to Eagle Creek.

Unfortunately I don't have any extra rifles this time around as they're being loaned to the two people we're bringing along.

Maybe some more dry fire practice and a little less shooting? Go for 200-400 rounds in the weekend instead of 300-500?

I will be there, and I will bring a few extra bricks of .22LR too.

 

[Ironbar]

Unfortunately I couldn't get Saturday the 9th off, so I'll see all you folks there at DRRC on Sunday! I'll be the tall guy with the M1 Garand in tow. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

 

[Prescott]

I was just able to pick up a case of .22 CCI Tactical ammo and will be bringing it to help students that have had difficulty finding it on the store shelves.

See you all next weekend.

Both Barton and McIver have camping. McIver is run through the state parks system (reserveamerica.com), and Barton is a county park (Clackamas County Parks). Barton is the closest.

I have a nice Appleseed training rifle for sale in the classifieds if anyone needs one.

Yeah, I meant that it appears to be day use only at this time of year. It looks like the overnight camping isn't allowed for a few months yet. There's usually a gate that gets locked across the entrance to places like this after dark, so I'm not even sure about the possibility of just pulling in and dry camping for the night. I'll probably just bite the bullet and commandeer the wife's minivan (ugh) and make two trips.

Keith,

DRRC really isn't that far out man. I may be even further out from the place than you, and it still only takes me about an hour to get there from Tigard. Looking forward to meeting you BTW!

 

[Kimber Custom]

45min for me from Vancouver

 

[trainsktg]

I'm in Scappoose, only about 20 miles north of Portland. Its not that far, sure, but the daughter would think it was cool to dry camp for the night. Me too. That's OK, I'm up for the drive x2.

4 Dates for Yakima posted for those who can make it to central Washington. Sun Valley Shooting Park for those who know the area/Range.

 

[trainsktg]

Well, I just signed up myself and my youngest daughter for Sat and Sun at Eagle Creek. See you all there.
