Swap shooting idea

Swap shooting idea

I was wondering if anyone would like the idea of having a swap shoot.

What I am envisioning is for people to post that their interested, what they would like to shoot, and what they have to offer in return. I am not proposing you loan someone a firearm, but rather meet at a range to try out each others irons. Also, maybe a good stipulation would be to require only factory loaded ammo to reduce any potential problems...


Me, I am in OKC and have rifles ranging from .22lr to .375 H&H mag. Shotguns include a couple .410's and a Benelli 12 gauge.
For pistols I have only semi-auto's. I've got a couple S&W .22lr guns, one Kel-tec .380 acp, one Star 9mm, and all the rest are chambered for the potent 10mm.



BTW, I'm a newbie here on OKShooters, but I have frequented GlockTalk, 10mmtalk, gunbroker, and others...

[YukonGlocker]

Members here frequently meet at the range. Just keep an eye on the forum, many people post when they are going to the range.

[SIG and RRA]

+1 I like the idea of a swap shoot...

[bulbboy]

Good to see you here Bambihunter!! I love the idea - we tried here in Tulsa last fall - it just fell through. We should try it again

[NikatKimber]

I'd go for it. Just pick a couple times, take the initiative, and see what goes down. I'd meet at the range just to have people to shoot at.... er... with, yeah, with. :gun2:

[DRC458]

Uh, yeah ... my rednekk compooter must huv timed out. Have more long guns than short guns, including some weird stuff. Wouldm like to shoot some mainstream stuff that I don't oan and can't afford wood nglady let uther fokes shoot what I've got in exchanghe for what they got. Except'n if they want to shoot weirdweird stuff like the .375 WEATHERBY mag, they gonna' have to buy their own ammo if they don't want' to shoot handloads ... do I hear banjoes?!?!?!?!

[AC37]

Good to see you here Bambihunter!! I love the idea - we tried here in Tulsa last fall - it just fell through. We should try it again

From personal experience, Oklahoma meets via and GT, OKS and otherwise have fallen through with like clockwork. It seems extraordinarily hard to get any appreciable number of people together at the range at the same time. Why this is, I do not know...bad timing/scheduling, a very blase "unless something better comes up" towards the event, the very disparate schedules we all work, gas costs, as well as many other factors I'm certain have all played a part. Personally, I think a get-together swap shoot like this is a wonderful idea, but some of these issues need to be worked out beforehand so perhaps we can get a little bit better turnout....or for that matter, any turnout at all.

[YukonGlocker]

I have went to the range with several members here. I have never been with a big group, but it only takes 1 other person to swap guns and have a good time.

[bambihunter]

I wouldn't expect a big group, although in the right setting that could be a blast too. I meant more one on one or small groups. It's nice to try something one might not have considered owning. I have bought a few guns over the years that I wouldn't have, if not for shooting someones irons and liking it.

I'm going to try to get to the range either the 20th or 27th. My next two weekends look full right now.

[SIG and RRA]

you should try to get a sign up sheet including names and what they are going to bring :)

[chicane]

I shoot with some various friends on a regular basis... And this is bascially what we all do. I'll shoot any gun that someoen offers... Especially if its one I haven't shot before. Last week I tore some huge holes in a Smurf Man with a highly potent P-22. lol

[bulbboy]

Anybody up for this in Tulsa?

[NikatKimber]

I'll be up there the 13th, love to meet any of the Tulsa members... except for... oh, i guess i shouldn't say that! No Really, Seriously, I'll be up there all day, and need somethign to expend money and time on, since my motorcycle is so fuel efficient!

[brennan]

I am game in Tulsa.

[SIG and RRA]

So is the swap shoot still on (for OKC)? Any proposed dates? Anyone interested? I am. Count me in.

[chicane]

I'd like to do something like this. I work normal hours, So any night/weekend is ok for me.

[NikatKimber]

Let me know, I'd be up for it. Give me a day / time!

[GMThunder]

I am.... also a member of RCGC if anyone wants to meet up there.

[bulbboy]

How much are guests there?

[Bluedot]

I am interested in a swap shoot...all I need is a date and location and I have suggestions ....as well as jokes!

[NikatKimber]

Hello Bluedot! Whereabouts you located?

[bambihunter]

For those in the OKC area, I'm thinking noon on May 20th at Banner Road Rifle Range. This range has plenty of space to spread out, particularly if we actually get a fair amount of people to join in.

I can bring various 10mm's, and maybe even my custom .375 H&H mag, .44 carbine, or whatever... There's a couple that are NIB so I likely won't open them up.

+1 i'm all in

[NikatKimber]

I'm in. That's an impressive list. so, hmm... I'll take a guess: you like 10mm handguns??? Am I right? LOL :thumb:

[brennan]

Guests are fee at RCGC un less you shoot skeet, trap or something then it like $3 per round.

[NavyLT]

Can you trap shoot at Banner Road? I've got a lot of 12ga ammo, if someone had a thrower, I might trade some shells or clays if we could get together to trap shoot. 5/20 is my 18th anniversery - can't think of a better way to spend it!

[SIG and RRA]

Any Full Auto Owners interested in coming out to the swap shoot?! :gun1:

This is my 100th post! :) I am addicted to this website. A big thanks goes out to all the OSA members that make this site very informative yet exciting!:thumb:

Seriously though.... from another forum :teach:

1. Public Range - Canadian Ranges. Take I-40 west and get off on Banner Road. Go South about a mile. At the 1st road past the school take a right. About 2 miles down that road on the left you will see the sign. It's an excellent range with covered lanes. It has a pistol/22 range. 50 yard range, 75 yard range and a 100 yard range. It's run by an elderly man about 75 or so who is very friendly and very, very knowledgeable. You can shoot all day for $8. No range officer. If you go anytime but hunting season during the week you'll pretty much have the whole place to yourself. Saturday can be busy. Sunday mornings it is generally uncrowded except during the opening days of hunting season. The only down side is the longest range is 100 yards.

No full-auto's (at least in "rock and roll" mode) at Banner. Pistols are fine, as are suppressed guns. Speaking of which, I just bought a .22 suppressor, but haven't filed the paperwork yet nor paid the fee...

[SIG and RRA]

AHHH sorry I must have missed it

[bambihunter]

I'll undoubtedly bring a few of my 10mm's for people to try, as well as my Kel-tec P3AT (my daily CCW gun at work). However, other than that, I'll have to take requests off my list on page one.

bambihunter, could I try the Benelli SBE, the P3AT, and the Kimber 10mm??
Thanks! Brent


The Kel-tec P3AT is no problem, I almost always have it on me. I can bring the Benelli SBE, but I don't know if we can shoot it at the pistol/rifle range. I don't THINK it would be a problem. I can bring my NIB Kimber Stainless Target II. I have two of them, a NIB one, and a range gun but I loaned out my shooter (believe me, the list is VERY short of who I'd loan guns to) :gun1:

Does anyone have any other requests?

I know already that I'm bringing a Springfield Omega Match (10mm), Kel-tec P3AT (.380 acp), Delta Gold Cup (10mm), I.A.I. Javelina (10mm), Star Megastar (10mm), Star Firestar (9mm), and one of the S&W .22's.

Here's the updated shortlist:
Benelli Super Black Eagle 12GA
Colt Delta Elite 10mm

Bring the women too. I am pretty sure my wife is going to come too (she rarely goes shooting with me). We had even talked about taking the shotguns and going down the road a bit to the skeet range. I've never been to that one...

So, how are we going to recognize whomever might show up?

[bambihunter]

Leadblooded, I'd like to try out your CZ 75 B in .40,Argentine Hi Power, and especially your Makarov.

[bambihunter]

We're heading out. I'll be down in the pistol area the most. I'm wearing grey short and a blue shirt and will have two black dufflebags with me. My wife is also with me. My name is Mike by the way...
I hope to see some of ya'all there.

[Leadblooded]

Hope you guys all had fun,I wound up having to work at the last minute,maybe next time.

[bambihunter]

Just two of us showed up. Brent rode his bike quite a ways to be there. We had a good time. He's a nice guy, we'd definately like to do that again. Here's just a few of the pictures we took today: :thumb:

Hopefully there'll be more at the next trip. We're "shooting" for maybe a month from now...

[trade_sniper]

So where were you guys shooting at in those pics, which range?

[bambihunter]

Canadian County Rifle Range (A.K.A. Banner Road) between Yukon and El Reno.

[NikatKimber]

Yes it was a nice shoot. bambihunter and his wife are both great people. He has a Star Megastar 10mm, that was just a hoot to shoot. Impressive trigger, good fit in the hand. Despite the of the "higher end" equipment he had out there, I think I shot that one the best. I'd be all for doing it again. Be great to have some more people show up!
Brent

[bambihunter]

BTW NikatKimber, the Megastar was also made in the .45 acp in both Starvel (stainless) and a matte black/blue color. They are generally cheaper than the ones chambered in 10mm.

[trade_sniper]

pics please, I've never seen one.

[bambihunter]

No problem trade_sniper. Check one out if you ever get the chance. I was impressed with them...

I will be.

[bulbboy]

Do you ever shoot out at Tulsa Gun Club? They are open 1 - 6 on Saturday - How many could go then?

[brennan]

I have never shot at Tulsa Gun Club but I am a member at RCGC and Oil Capitol
we can go either of these.

[DRC458]

Oopss.... nevermind...
Rob

What was that?????

I will be in Mannford this week-end, probably Friday through Sunday. I don't know Tulsa well at all ... you guys would have to give me explicit directions ... but I would be interested in hooking up. I don't have much in the way of pistols, and nothing special ... Beretta 9000S .40 S&W, S&W Model 28 .357, FEG 63 9x18 Makarov (Walther PP clone) and, oh, I almost hate to admit, a HiPoint .45 ACP. I just had to try one because they were so cheap. Rifles ... too many to mention ... let me know what you would like to shoot ... from .221 Fireball to .458WM.

[bulbboy]

This all sounds good - I can go anywhere on Saturday - give me a time and place. I don't know if anyone wants to shoot anything of mine

What time and where?

[brennan]

Looks like Tulsa Gun Club but what time?

[DRC458]

Looks like Tulsa Gun Club but what time?

I guess it fell apart? I never heard from anyone.

[bulbboy]

looks like it never got set up

[JBW]

I have never seen this topic before.........but.........I was searching for P3AT info and came across it.

I would be into a group get together. I also belong to Tulsa Gun Club.

Right now I only own a G38.

Looking at buying this next week a G17 or G19 and a G26 or P3AT (for the wife).

If anything gets set up that would be fun for me. I just don't think to check this part of the forum.

[Malthus]

Thanks JBW, I'm glad to hear from somebody else who don't own enough guns to arm a third world nation. I was feeling a little emasculated there.

Does RCGC or TGC allow selective fire weapons?

I only own four guns:

Glock 20 - 10mm
HK91 - .308
MAC-10 - 9mm
AR-7 - .22LR

[brennan]

Yes they do at the plinking range area. RCGC

[Malthus]

Cool. If anyone wants to shoot my bullet hose let me know. It's the Mac-10.

[Robbo]

selective fire weapons?


that should make up for your lack in overall numbers :woot:

:D
Rob

[Malthus]

I keep insisting that spray and pray IS a legitimate shooting style.

Glock 20 - 10mm


This is all you need! :thumb: Long live the 10!

[Malthus]

I DO love my Glock. In 1979 a friend asked me to describe my ideal handgun and while I didn't know it at the time I was describing the Glock 20.

But sometimes you just wanna rock and roll.
