DATE CHANGE AT REQUEST OF OAKDALE GUN CLUB - NOVEMBER 19th
Thanks to ALL for the input.
Bill, Subwofer, and I, OldmanFCSA, will be there with rifles.
We each understand we each would need to pay the Guest Fee.
My daughter wants to come to help demonstrate to the Ladies understand the Rifle will not hurt them. Her video is posted in an above posting. She was 15 when the video was taken.
(She has several college roommates that want to learn to shoot and want to witness or try the 50BMG. They are not aware of the Guest Fee as of yet.)
I am bringing 2 rifles, equipment, and ammo.
Bill is bringing 1 rifle, equipment, and ammo.
Bill is bringing a video camera, and I will be bringing my camera or two.
I am bringing limited additional Safety Equipment for people having forgot thier personal Safety equipment.
These rifles with scopes cost us each about $6000.
The ammo costs are $2.00 each bought in bulk of 800 rounds.
The hand loaded target ammo costs are $3.80 each with $2.15 of that being the CNC turned solid brass 800 grain bullet.
The wear and tear on the brass and rifle barrel, when calculated out, amounts to $1.85 each shot.
So I have offered 5 shots each to the Ladies for a total cost of $3.85 X5 = $19.25 each Lady.
If 5 Ladies show up and shoot, it will cost me $96.25 + $15 Guest Fee = $111.25
If 15 Ladies show up and shoot, it will cost me $288.75 + $15 Guest Fee = $303.75
So - to ask for $ for additional shots will not cause me to make money, just defray the costs a bit.
I have asked for payment for any addditional shots at my cost rate plus a little bit more for wear and tear on equipment.
THIS IS NOT A MONEY MAKING EVENT FOR ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is an offer to the Ladies to have the opportunity to shoot the 50BMG cartridge in a Target Rifle!
Using round numbers to prevent making coin change and to enable easy calculation, ammo costs are as follows, and includes an additional charge for the equipment,:
Additional shots using Government Surplus Ammo ammo will cost $ 4.00 each shot.
Additional shots using HandLoaded Target Ammo ammo will cost $ 6.00 each shot. This is restricted to only leftover ammo from FCSA Matches we have shot. This is a limited ammount of ammo.
The Ladies will each be allowed to keep 1 casing for bragging rights. This casing will be Berdan primed brass and is not easily reloadable by us. If they desire the brass be highly cleaned inside and out, I will tumble in SS pins for them, only if a name and shipping address is provided and costs are covered. $5.00 approximate USPS cost.
If we end up delaying until Spring, this offer may change or be retracted.
