Framed!!

Started framing out the Talon Training low/no light shoot house today. Complete with reconfigurable walls.


You all are going to like this !!!!!!!!!! 8)




. . . well, you know; if you ever get off your butts and train. :P

Awesome!

Now THAT is cool!

Got any pics?

No pix, unfortunately. :-[


But you are sure welcome to stop by and check it out! :) :)

I have been in Jax a few days.

I'm in the HD class on the 27th, so I'm assuming I'll get to see it in action, right?

Duh! All I had to do was read my newsletter that was in my inbox.

Yes, the new shoothouse will be used in the HD class on the 27th for those interested.

8) 8) Working nights to get it finished. 8) 8)


It is 100% usable right now. Just building in a few . . . . challenges.




Though I did set us back a little last night - I screwed up and ended a room on the second floor where it should have continued on to be a much bigger room. :-[ :-[

Speaking of the newsletter . . .


you recognize that old codger shooting the AR-15 on the support side . . . right? 8) 8)

Yes, yeah, I saw that.

I'm looking forward to the class and the shoothouse.

This really should be a good one. 'Everyone' is already talking about it at Talon.


And we did get 70,000 rounds of 5.56 in, so there will be no shortage of available ammo. 8)

You know I won't shy away from shooting anything, but I really want to use the opportunity to run the shotgun and test it's new light/stock/safety setup. ;D

Everyone is a comedian these days !! ;)


I can tell you that (providing they actually had some) Walmart can't touch the price Talon asks for their ammo. I'm 100% serious.

Nice looking shotgun Scott! I have a couple cases of 8 pellet, low recoil, flight control Speer buckshot that will fit that nicely.

Wait, really? I drive to every WalMart in Tallahassee several mornings a week looking for ammo. Tell me more about this statement. Can I just stop by and buy stuff? When? You may have just simplified my entire life.

From what I understand, ammo sales are restricted to members of the range.

You know I love Flight Control 00B. I'm pissed that the 1B has been out for months now and I can't get any of it.

HEY! I bet Y'ALL can! See if you can get it! Standby and I'll get you a part #.

And students of Talon.


However.


Talon1 and Talon2 (both members here, by the way) are notorious for kicking their own butts trying to be nice, and helpful to, other folks.


. . as I evidence I hold up the fact that they tolerate me - daily. :-[


So, my suggestion would be that you contact either of them directly and ask about "general availability".

It's LE132-1B. Please see if you can get it. I think it is hands down the best anti-goblin shotshell around.

That's what happens to people when they go off and get thier own shooting complex, training emporium, and holster conglomerate. ;D

I'm getting antsy! Come on Saturday!

Tack, you should be. This is going to be a GREAT class.


The Israeli Defense Force commando guy said what we already knew: That airsoft/sims shoot house is just plain evil. ;D :) ;D :)

Did I miss something? When can I get a membership and start shooting!? this place looks amzing and its 10 minutes from my house.

Just sign up on their site.

When I left this evening JD & Charlie were working hard to get the second story done. Knowing those two as I do it would not surprise me if it wasn't twice as evil as the first story.


God I love those guys. :) ;D :) ;D

Worse than the Pat Thomas houses?

Far far worse.


Honest. It is a nightmare. In fact it is several nightmares. I'm thinking the only folks who won't like it are the ones that expect to win every time.

I know that sounds bad (to the untrained) but you know what I mean (because you are NOT one of them); clearing a structure is an absolute last resort. For good reason. :o

[quote author= link=topic=860.msg7060#msg7060 date=1366805332]
was the house designed like a normal house would be, i.e. how a normal person would lay it out? Or was it designed like a sadomasochistic firearms instructor would want?
[/quote]

It's starting to sound like the latter. :o

With movable walls they can keep you on your toes session after session too. The houses at Pat Thomas, while there was no "good" way to clear them solo, I knew what I was going into and what to look for. Sounds like I will loose that luxury for the foreseeable future.

Tack pretty well nailed it. But it *is* meant at first glance to be like a normal house, it just has some [size=1em]sadomasochistic features[/size]. ;D


For instance; a large window, mounted slightly lower than one might expect. To facilitate old home intruder egress. 8)


It has a closet under the stairwell that is standard for lots of homes with stairs, with some definite [size=small]sadomasochistic features.[/size] 8)


There are facilities to accommodate ATM robberies/assaults outside the "house". 8)


We are currently working on a new "Talon Tactical Darts" feature. 8) :o 8)

Please tell me you're coming in my window during this class. ;D >:( 8)

Aww heck, you know me. If I do it will probably be after you though the room was clear and moved on. :-*

I would expect no less. :)

There's a REAL reason for the venerable cognomen "second story man" to signify a home burglar. In my experience (on the done to, not the doing to end of things) they are far more likely to come in an upstairs window than at ground level. Better get Rumbler a ladder with one of those automated ascender things they hawk on the TeeVee, and put him in through the RIGHT WINDOW! :-*

I'm too excited. I'm going to have to drink to sleep. :-\

The second flood didn't get ~finished~ but Charlie built plenty of evil into it already. :P




Don't forget your FLASHLIGHTS. 8)
