Andy, are you talking about Alpine Range for Sept 18 skeet at 8:30am? I will see if I can work it out to join the group, also.

For those of us who don't know anyone else showing up by sight, and who haven't ever visited Alpine, shall we set a meet-up point at the range?

Maybe save some folks from walking up to everyone and muttering "texaschlforum.com?"

Seems sorta spy-chotic that way. :coolgleamA:

I'd have to go a different cliche direction, if that's the decision. Photographer's vest, anyone? :thewave

Seriously though...I'd hate to show up and pay for two rounds, only to have the rest of the group off where I didn't see em, choosing to shoot 4. It would be a bummer to miss a round because you were off paying for additional rounds!

Andy, the pink shirt is a great idea, but only if you can find one which says, "Check Out My Guns."

Main building seating area works for me. :thumbs2:

If you run a 12 ga, a quarter also functions admirably as a choke wrench for many guns. It's also easier to carry, usually. If you get drawn in by too many vending machines, you may want to go classic wrench. :biggrinjester:

Thanks for the list, Andy. So is it Saturday yet?

Might I suggest neon vests with CHL sashes to identify each other? :biggrinjester:

I prefer my official CHL uniform. MUCH more comfortable:

...although I must say that the pipsqueak in this picture doesn't fill out the uniform as nicely as I do. Why, when I put it on, you can see the tattoo on my butt.... ....but that's another story.

BTW, I will be there, with both the missus and the sprog in tow.

A story that, hopefully, won't be told in the near future. ;-)
