Getting ready for INDIANA GTG on the 10th(PICS)

breymeyerfam · Dec 31, 2008

this is what I have got so far.

cut notches in big rounds for a cutting stand... should work.... sturdy as it gets!

for long bars. for reference thats a 361 w/24" bar on top and the log is wider.

if we need more to cut, this is in my driveway and needs to come down...

Looks, good! I'm going to try my best to make it. What kind of saws does anyone want me to bring?

Most of mine are older, but I do have a 575xp and a 262xp converted 261. Plus a SXL925 and a just recieved Poulan 245A that I will try to have up and running by then. I could also bring a Partner 5000 if someone wants to try it.

Also I want to know if the PPE police are going to be there. (I'm kinda old fashioned)

I'll probably be by myself if someone wants to buddy up for the ride down from Wheatfield.

Looks good. I Have a tach and so far have plans on being there.! :cheers:

Banshee · Dec 31, 2008

Unless the sob's at work make me work, which I can't see.
I'll be there. Can't wait.

breymeyerfam · Dec 31, 2008

I need to get a few more 8-12" striaght log for cuttin cookies, but other than that and cleanin up the garage, Im ready. Hope my Northern Grinder gets here by next friday, I need to get some chains sharp. the only sharp chains I have right now are for the 180 and 020t, and 32"ers.

Levi, I'd love to make it but I can't leave here until 2:00 and it would take my a little over an hour to get there. These things usually break up on their own around like 4:00 or so.... I doubt I'll make the drive just to wave bye to everybody leaving. I'd love to meet some new folks and run some saws with you guys but unless something changes I think I'm gonna sit this one out.

No one said there was going to be any gun play going on.. This is a whole nother thing...

What distances will we be shooting? and what calibers are ok to bring?
Long guns? short guns?

well... I guess dont bring anything larger than .50bmg...... the biggest I got is 300wm. pistol distance to 300y depending when saws get finished.

ericjeeper · Dec 31, 2008

I have a few long guns I might toss into the back seat of the truck.

I might bring my 45-70 I need some empty brass to reload.. Might as well check and see if the .223 is still dialed in too..
This is going to be one heck of a party.. Only thing this shindig is missing is wild women..
Do you have a good shooting rest?

no shooting rest, do most my shootin prone. can probably do a 100y and maybe a 200 while cs thing is going, but any further, we have to wait.

Erick · Dec 31, 2008

I would love to compare that 45-70 against my 458 socom, but at 3 dollars a pop I just can't bring myself to shoot it.

I'd had plan on bring a couple of AR-15's I might throw in another rifle or two if there is an evil black rifle that someone would like to shoot. I have HK91's, AK47's, Uzi's, FAL's,SKS's, Mini14's,M44's etc. I just don't want to bring them all then have to clean them all.
