1/22/13 Inaugural North OC Shoot @ Field Time Target and Training

[madjack956]

Thanks all for the feedback on the brass situation. Much appreciated!

I've been there a few times and if you tell the RO you'll be collecting your brass when you setup in your lane they seem to be real good about not sweeping it away.

I'm glad everyone had a good time! It really is a nice facility. Ventilation is awesome and having the table area was a nice meeting place for pizza and chit-chat.

Congratulations to Jason who won the top shot! At the beginning of the night he was completely off paper, but with a little instruction, he won TOP SHOT!!!

He won an OC Armory T-Shirt, two packs of Mother's Cookies, a Hello Kitty statue, and a few CMP targets.

The owners: Greg & His Daughter want us to continue this event! I think our polite positive & nice attitude was our selling pitch. Sharing some of the pizza with the staff was good too (sales/relationships). Next time can we try for a Potluck? Please!!! Why??? Well Jan2012 we had a shoot at Burro Canyon! 50 showed up but no Potluck or BBQ. So I pushed and begged and suggested! I'm kinda good at sales and working deals.... The next Burro Canyon Shoot was 100% better with over 50 showing up and too much food and FUN with guns, people and POTLUCK-BBQ. This was better than a tailgate party!!
------------------------
So.... let's ad 1 extra benefit... No BBQ but can we try for a small POTLUCK item enough for 1.5 people? LOOK AT THE BENEFITS! SAY 20-30 SHOW UP! WOW! WE TALKING LIKE REAL BUFFET FOR EVERYONE IN THE LOUNGE! THIS WOULD BE FANTASTIC TOO FOR EVERYONE SHOOTING! WE CAN START THE EATS AT 6PM, SHOOT FROM 630-9PM!
---------------------------
If you talk to the Burro Canyon Crowd, they really consider the BBQ potluck as 50% of the fun there, it's outdoors with real propane fire! But the potluck @ this NEW INDOOR RANGE WOULD BE JUST AS FUN FOR US! WITH THE NEW BUILDING AND 2ND PARKING LOT, YES THERE IS A 2ND PARKING LOT!
----------------------------
SEE YOU GUYS AT BURRO CANYON THIS 27TH JAN2013 SUNDAY!!!
IF YOU NEED ME FOR COSTA MESA STAFF ON 26TH, I'M GAME WITH MY CALGUNS SHIRT FOR MARKETING.

I was with my gf and met you guys/gals sat afternoon at the OC show. Btw you were very friendly and informative people. You told me (I forgot your name) you usually shoot the first Tues of the month at Field time in Stanton. I see there is a group going to a range in Laguna. Is this just a special trip to a new range this month? Being that i'm in Cerritos and Laguna is a little far for me. I am interested in attending the field time monthly shoots though.

I was one of the guys there on Saturday. Glad you stopped by!

We run two monthly shoots in Orange County:
The monthly Stanton shoot is typically the 4th Tuesday of the month.
The monthly Laguna Niguel shoot is typically the 2nd Friday of the month.

Stanton looks much closer for you. Our next one will be 2/26 @ 6:30pm. Check back in the OC forum as we get closer. There will be an event posting with all the info and a guest list where you can sign up you and your guests to attend.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

It will be the 4th Tuesday. I'm fine with a Potluck but I have a feeling pizza or some other type of "chip in $5" food will work better for most people (especially on a weeknight). I will put it out for vote when I open the new thread.

Im in, get to pick up my 686 this weekend and give it a shot or two. Is a mass PM going out?

I will start a new thread for February's shoot with event and signup information. I will wait until the South OC shoot happens so there isn't overlap to cause confusion.

Yup. I'll open it up after the Laguna Niguel shoot happens.

I feel I have to right a wrong that I committed.

Back in this thread in posts #30 & #33, I had voiced an opinion, and a bit of an attitude concerning range brass at Field Time.

I was of the opinion that the staff was a bit hasty in sweeping brass into the lanes before it could be retrieved and felt it may have been done on purpose and also questioned that they may have a policy of keeping all the brass that hits the floor.

I recieved some replies stating that this was not true from some Calgunners.

Well, today I visited the range and told the range employee with the broom that I would in fact like to keep my brass.

His name was Doug, and he immediately cleaned the floor of all brass to make it easier for me to retrieve mine, and then handed me my own broom to retrieve it in any manner I wished.

His gesture pleased me very much to say the least, as like every reloader I spend a lot of time and money when it comes to brass.

We ended up talking about different .45's, tactical shooting, and retirement. Very nice guy and definately made me dispell any previous opinions I had about their policies.

Anyway, I was big enough to carry on a bit negatively earlier about Field Time, and now feel I must be just as big in saying I was very wrong with my opinion and attitude.

I will be going back as much as possible, as it is not far from my home.

Last month's shoot was my first experience with them but I couldn't have been more pleased with the staff and their professionalism. It is a really nice facility so I'm glad you gave them a second look. Hopefully you can make it out to our February shoot.

I'm glad that you had a positive experience at FT. I've met Doug before, as he has had to remind me about the two second rule in between shots that I "occasionally" forget. I've always had a good experience there, and I'm glad that you did as well. Nice of you to post here as well, as I'm sure that a lot of Calgunners value the opinions of other members. I'm a new member, and new to the sport as well, and I know that I get a lot of information from this site, and appreciate the opinions of all of the members here.

I think there was mention of making this a Thursday or Friday night event, based on turnout. Any possibility of that happening in the future?

Anything is possible but no changes are planned in the near future. Keep in mind we just had our first shoot, so changes now would be a bit premature.

Fridays are served by our South OC shoot if you can't attend on Tuesdays.
