Hi Jamie - good to see you drop by.

As I said on TFL - looks like this will be one I can't make - certainly seems that way right now.  Hope tho if I don't make it - you will ''volunteer'' someone to take the obligatory group photo! :)

Best regards

Anyone going to be in Columbia SC this weekend??

I'll be hanging out with some friends at http://www.midcarolinarifleclub.com/    I'm getting requests for an R9 but I don't own one. :(

Anyone want to bring theirs out ???

Eric, are you in for a road trip to Columbia, SC?

Heck Jamie - that's a trip and a half!

Sounds a bit like - family - vacation - and some ''play time''!!

Tell ya what - fly me down and I'll bring the R9 LOL ;D

I'll be hanging out with Schmit (from TFL and THR) and a few other gun buddies from www.battlerifles.com and www.ambackforum.com

I'm mostly a rifleman but all these pistol shooters seem to be envious of my experiences with the R9.   ;D

Anyone know if Eric will be at this one?  If so I'm definetly game.

Post by: R9SCarry on May 19, 2005, 10:35:02 PM
This cropped up in conversation when I last spoke with Eric - I am not sure actually, tho he had said something like if I was there he was coming.  It would have been a great opportunity for us to meet up but I can't make this one.

Now I do not consider myself important enough for Eric to make the trip but - there was a hint of that about his comment.

So bottom line I really don't know except I am certain there would be many folks there who'd love to see/meet him plus some R9 time.  Maybe a call to Maria - just to see either way.

>>The call to Maria is a good idea.  Or...the next time Eric calls me I will ask him directly.

Since I obviously missed the last event you hosted - what's it all about...?  Is this a shooting event...?...formal or informal with anything and everything we can lug to the range...??  Options of things for non-shooting frfiends/family to do if they come along...??  And finally...what part of PA is this...?  THANKS...!...TW<<

TW - it is down from Allentown a ways on the pike - not too far from Quakertown IIRC.  Or go North from Philly a ways.

Jamie - still looks like I can't but - be there in spirit - and - NOTE - make sure someone gets a good group pic or two eh. :P

I'd like to get somewhat of an accurate account of how many people think they are coming.  Probable the week before I'll do an approximate head count.  Since the owners of Water and Wings will be supplying food,  we'll need to know how many 270lb people will be coming. ;D :P

You can just show up.

>>I just heard from Eric and he made a point to say he WILL be attending the PA gathering, and he is looking forward to meeting up with Rohrbaugh Forum folks...!  
 
Eric will be graciously bringing a few new R9s fresh off the griddle for people to try (hear that, JArcher??!!).  He will also use this opportunity to show folks how to properly take down/clean/lube the R9s we shoot..!..would be great if someone could video tape this as a reference guide...maybe even attach it to the R9 FAQ site (Chris??).
 
Oh yeah...we talked about Chris' verbiage about NOT attending this gathering...??...!!...and how we can collectively convince him other wise...  Come on, Chris...it's in your best interests to join in...cause onna counta you know what we mean **hee, hee** (no, he does not, but shhhhh).
 
With that, I am going to make every effort to attend myself on 11 June.  What fun...!  And what a great idea/effort on the part of Soda_Pop to make it happen...!...TW<<

Post by: R9SCarry on May 20, 2005, 08:21:11 PM
Shucks TW - you are making me think now!  Heck - it still looks like more than difficult but - as we near the time I'll see if I can swing it - it really would be great to meet some of you folks and be able to see Eric too.  We'll see.

If I do not manage it tho - apart from mandating a good group shot with ID's - if'n someone can take any vid of Eric stripping (hahaha - hope it's a warm day Eric LOL) . I will be pleased to edit that and put it on one of my servers.

Have to see what format can be done - or whether someone with a digcam (mine anyways is boring analog) can shoot footage and burn to DVD for me - anything to get the info to work on.  A simple AVI is ideal for me as a starter too.

Post by: R9SCarry on May 26, 2005, 12:04:28 AM
Jamie - I wish!  Still looks very unlikely - just too much going on - which includes family stuff - usually the hardest to wriggle out of!!

I will tho, in expectation of not being there - nag again, to make sure someone takes some group and other pics.  I want at least one also - of Eric - looking sufficiently demonic - flaunting the R9! ;D
Title: Re: An invitation to everyone at the Rohrbaugh for

Less than one week to go!!

I hope everyone is closer to making a decision on coming out.

Rain or shine the event is on!!

I can't attend for a variety of reasons -- in fact, I will be on my own vacation in the Florida Keys.... plus the location is a world away for me.

I do hope to see some pics -- glad to see this is going to go off.

Title: Re: An invitation to everyone at the Rohrbaugh for
Post by: R9SCarry on June 06, 2005, 12:37:40 PM
Jamie - it is now a definite no-no regretably - but will certainly hope you guys all have a great time and get loadsa pics.  Let us know here afterwards how it went and where to go for viewing the pics etc.

I will hope to have a word with Eric before the day and will miss seeing him and many others.

>>For those who have wondered, I just spoke with Eric and he will be attending the PA shoot tomorrow.  He will be bringing an R9 or two to shoot, plus who knows what else...?...!!  And for anyone who is interested in seeing how to properly take down/lube/and reassemble the R9 - this will be your lucky day as with all the R9 shooting going on Eric will be holding on the spot clinics.

I am still up in the air as to whether I can make it.  Due to an old injury I'm in a lot of pain just now...but if I can find someone to share the driving - I'll be there...!  And I will be bringing an additional two R9s.

Jamie...?...anyone...?  Can you recommend a nice hotel near by...preferable with a pool...?  Thoughts...?  Thanks...!

And Jamie - how can we recognize you...?...any pics...?  I could not open the pics attached to the link provided of last shoot...TW<<

Post by: R9SCarry on June 10, 2005, 05:45:29 PM
TW - hope you can make it - even tho I won't be there I'll wish you guys who do go a great day and hopefully not too many T-Storms ... bit that way right now here.

I spoke with Eric too other day and am still frustrated I cannot get over, tho I did see him at last one in October.

Places to stay ..... well, Allentown serves quite well - Jody and I stopped over last year at a motel there . There are quite a few just of Route 22 so wouldn't be hard to find one.  Not sure re pool availability but - sure you'll find one with a short look-around.

So - I shall hope to see a write-up somewhere after the event and a group shot etc . maybe Jamie can drop by with a link to a write-up - on TFL I am thinking.

Have a good one guys! :)

"Jamie...?...anyone...?  Can you recommend a nice hotel near by...preferable with a pool...?  Thoughts...?  Thanks...! "

I can't name any off the top of my head.  I know there are a ton of motels within a few minutes of the place.  I'm sure there are a ton of options.  

  Just show up and tell us who you are and which board you are from.   Just ask for Jamie Young or Soda Pop.  We have a great crew of people coming to these and everyone was NEW at some point.

And just for Chris...who has asked about this with every post he has made for a month...  I am bringing a digi cam to record the event - question is...will I use it...?  LOL...!

Safe travels to everyone and I will see y'all in a few hours...TW<<

Well - I am back home and have really thought all day how you fellas were doing . Hoping too the T-Storms did not cut across enjoyment of the day.  I still know I'd never have made it - miniscule compensation!

TW - hope you made it safe and sound - and back home again.  If you got some pics then I'll hope to see some eventually - particularly a group pic - see who is who that I would not have known from last one.

Darn it - hate not being able to do everything all the time! :P

I had a great time.

Thanks to Eric for paying for all the food!!

We got rained out in the last 45minutes of the day, but we got a good day's worth of shooting in.

Nice to see TW made the trip out!

We missed having you there, Chris.

Jamie - can't tell you how I missed that - tho I know darned well it would have been impossible to make it, and, do what I had to do in same day!!!  Sorry not to see you again, and Eric and MikeB - see Dave Markovitz there too.  Hard to make out all the faces.

So Jamie - who did make it from this forum then?  I believe TW did, and, what about Alan Fud?  Did he get there.

Give us the skinny when you can!

Not surprised you had some rain but if waited till end then not bad at all - I was afraid you'd get way more than that.

You should feel some satisfaction at having got such a fine shoot organized.  Kudos dude.

I believe MikeB has the original of that.  You could check out the higher resolution photo from him.

I'm being petitioned to hold another one on August 20th.  

Are you free then?

Post by: R9SCarry on June 14, 2005, 10:29:49 PM
Aug 20 - that's a possible - tho still a ways ahead to know for sure.  You would not believe the schedule that comes along for the summer months!

I'll see if Mike has a higher res of that, good idea Jamie.

Hello everyone - just signed up and am glad to be here.  The instructions said I could change my p/w after I logged on the first time with the admin p/w, but for the life of me I don't know where to go.

Name is Bob, I live outside of Pittsburgh, PA.  Have one carry R9S, and have a second one coming that will stay locked up.  Consecutive serial numbers with Farmingdale slides.

Also have many other pieces, and a few for sale.  When I get more proficient at this, I will list some.  I am also a custom folder collector and somewhat of a purveyor.  My friend MountainMan recommended I join.  Thanks for any help you can provide!   Bob

Well - I'd say continue beyond that 12 miles SW - and go near another hundred!  Oops - wrong sorry - I meant go ESE of Pitt is my direction.  Geez - old age again! :D

Look on map for where I 99 crosses Turnpike - at Bedford - I am approx 13 miles to NW of there.  Johnstown is only about 30 miles away.

Not exactly neighbors - but not so far either.!  I did my NRA Instructor's course up near McKeesport which I guess is sorta vaguely in the ball park!! But to East.
