I'll be headed to San Antonio in August...

Anyone want to get together for some range time? I'll be down at Lackland and Ft. Hood from 16-24 August for M-2 school.

At least you'll be moving to warmer weather with a lot more places to shoot. Not to mention to a state where you can CCW unlike the one you'll be leaving.

I think it's a good thing. So, congrats on the move...

Well hope you get to enjoy your time down here its gonna be a sight warmer expect 110 degrees, I know San Antone has some good ranges and an indoor range with rentals that the boys and I are gonna try to hit up before I ship. Don't know about Ft Hood. Its a nice lil drive between the two if you don't take 35 then you'll come through the real hill country. My town is surrounded by lakes and I'm about an hour and a half from either base but I wont be here at that time.

Glockmeister, I'm only going down there for a week and a half. I used to live in Galveston and I would not mind moving back down to Texas at all!

San Antonio and Fort Hood will be hotter than Galveston! Won't have the ocean breeze to cool things down to the mid 90's. Both places are very pretty and if you can get off the range for some fun you will have a great time exploring!

Just...um....make sure you shooting point is to the far left on the line....I would hate to think what would happen to you if you got a hot 50 BMG case down the back of your shirt!

Absolutely Deersniper!! I'm trying to get authorization from my unit to drive down to the school so I can bring some of my toys to hit the range with.

Alan, I'll just be at Lackland and Ft. Hood so I probably won't make it down to the Houston area.

I'm getting PAID to go play with the M-2... How could I NOT have fun? While you were running around at BMT in 1984, I was running around in diapers!

I would suppose you'd be taking 65 South through Springfield. Springfield has a great Shoney's with a good breakfast buffet.
Have you figured your route yet?
