    Screw IA :). This saturday is the WRXAtlanta range meet. The date is this saturday at or around 3:00pm. If you wana go follow the link to the poll or just let me know here... Eds has a good number of lanes so i think we could have a good number of people. We can also put 2 or 3 per lane so... Let me know what you think.

    As people have mentioned, don't buy your ammo from Ed's. Go to walmart down the street and get it. It's like 1/2 the cost...

    I would prefer a WRXatlanta only meet. Could be just me though. I'd love to go to a range. I havn't shot anything in a long while (since i was like 14 or 15.) and it was up in the mountains in hall county. Never been to a range.

    Thats cool with me. Who is down for us having our meet this saturday at 3:00pm? If everyone is cool with that I'll just tell everyone on IA that the IA meet is next weekend... :) Please, if you are interested, speak up because i want to try to see how many people will be going and then try to reserve the appropriate number of lanes for us so we have plenty of room...

    FYI I'll be shooting a 9mm. Don't have anything really cool yet...

    What do they have to rent at the range? I don't think I could make it this saturday.

    Well at Ed's right by my house they have a few 9mm's and a couple others not sure exactly what but I know they rent the one i own (Springfield XD 9mm).

    word to the wise, shoot at ed's BUT DO NOT BUY ANYTHING! seriously
    they overcharge the shit out of stuff, I've sold a gun to them for more then I paid NEW, my father loves to sell them guns, but has never bought anything there.
    if you want great prices I'll show you where to go, no range, but just good people, prices, and selection

    Eric is right bring your own ammo, eds is really expensive.

    I'm in and I would prefer a WRXAtlanta only meet. I really dont like being around that many people I dont know with guns.

    Good point. Eds is really expensive on ammo and stuff. I did end up buying my gun there but i shopped around and found that their price on my gun wasn't but $3 or so more expensive than all the other places around...

    For future reference, where should I buy my guns as someone previously mentioned that they would tell me where to go?

    If they have an MP5 I can rent then I am down. If not, I will pass until we plan a meet at that other place we were talking about before.

    I bought most of my stuff from Hot Shots, but its usally because they are the only ones who have it in stock. Adventure out doors has a pretty big selection. Gun shows are always an option as well.

    if they have a meet at randy's sometime (bullseye) there's quite an ethnic mix ;) which is odd, cause it's lawrenceville. but it's cool to see the mix. he's got pretty decent prices on pieces as well.

    careful on buying reloads there though, my 9mm has choked several times on their ammo (and it's a glock for christsakes, they'll shoot any ammo)

    So who all is going? Lets try to start a list.

    Yeah i actually called adventure outdoors and they didn't have the one i was looking for and their price for ordering it was more than eds... If i had known about hot shots before i bought my gun i would have checked there too. I haven't compared yet.

    I told everyone on IA that another day may be better but two people might still be going so thats not bad...

    I'm pretty sure they allow rifles as well. Not 100% positive tho. I can go and find out today...
     
  22. They have a few rifle lanes. No shotguns though. They wont allow shotguns on their rifle lanes.

    EDIT: unless you rent out the whole range for a private party.

    I need some range time... I'll see whats going on with the family that day and I might be able to squeeze a few rounds off.

    If you know where barrett turns into piedmont just take piedmont down to canton road (like 1/2 mile or something) then make a right on canton and your next right into that shopping center and it's in there.

    To get to barrett just take 75 north to barrett and make a right. Go until it turns into piedmont and follow directions above.

    We'll have our next meet out there so you guys near there don't have to drive that far next time. Bullseye is pretty small tho. Eds has a lot of lanes... We'll figure it out tho.

    It's all good. I was worried for a sec since i kinda told the IA folks we should do it another day and left it at that but a few still showed up luckily :). In a few weekends I'll start another thread to plan the next meet and make it strictly WRXATL folks.
