Killing time before the Fun and Gun.

Post by OldManTod »

Ok folks - I have slept all of four hours since Sunday night - I can't wait for this weekend - between getting MammaSan away from the kids and shooting guns - what more could you want?

Anyway - as I sit here three days before the big event, loading up magazines, cleaning and re-cleaning, loading up bags, etc. - I have to find something to kill time. That said, between now and Monday morning (in which everybody and their mother will be looking for updates from the event) I thought I would start a thread for the (cue the Little Mermaid song) "Poor Unfortunate Souls" who cannot participate.

Its pretty easy - take some pix of you and your gear getting ready - take some pix of your trip down - some pix of setup on sat - (pix from Sat night are going to unavailable based upon content - however any "good pix" will be retained for future negotiation leverage) - shooting on Sunday - maybe your ride home and post them up here.

Tips: Photobucket is an online hosting site - easy to use and you can edit pix on the fly - image size here must be 640x480 - photos should be in good taste (this is where you will most likely encounter the Nexus of the universe - this occurs when a Moderator Moderates a Moderator that has been voted on by Moderators).

I have pix I will post up tomorrow, but for the weekend, I am planning to have my laptop and will post stuff up as time allows - yes, folks that means that there may be the potential for the inmates running free this weekend while we are busting our butts to make it successful.

See everybody on Sat!

Maybe you could temporarily promote Scavok to Hall Monitor status until Monday morning? Of coarse then there wouldn’t be anything left for you to come back to. :shock:

What are you using for connectivity? Is there a good EV-DO signal at TDI?

I'm sorry I can't make it. See you at the PiP. Great Wolf Lodge with the family this weekend. Would love to see the pic's.

Question: When shooting video can the sound of many guns going off damage the microphone and /or camera? How loud is it on tape? Can it damage the playback device? Does Best Buy sell little tiny DVR earmuffs? :D

Have a good time!

Never thought of that - I guess we will find out.. I have taken video of shooting before and came out ok with it, but then again the environment may be different.

For instance: Image - tried tiny url but something is broken.

p.s. As I was looking for that Video - apparently I have met Brian D. - Brian you shot in the opposite group of me last year at one of the XD Shoots at Darby Creek.

I remained "kick" free...not with standing the "plate match" MeanStreaker and I had.

He just nipped me, so to speak, in the rubber match.
:evil:

I'm smellin' a rematch in the future...
