So what is everyone doing about transportation?

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

I give folks a ride each year and usually have room for three people. Last year it was a few Canadians. I get there with the group and star for both shooting times. If you want to go home early or show up late you can specify and no doubt you will find a ride.

It is too early to make commitments to host passengers, mainly because plans tend to change and I have been left hanging out to dry more than not, intended or otherwise. But if you are at the designated point where we all meet, well I have never seen anyone left behind.

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

Just an update for anyone willing to help a couple canadians..

I have signed me and my buddy up for a lane on the Thursday morning session (both 1 hour sessions, 2 hours in total), we have no guns, and no ride to the shoot site..

Clearly if anyone can help us get there, the lane is all yours, and that goes for anyone that dosent have a lane to fire in that dosent mind some Canuckers :)

Also offering to pay for gas like I mentioned earlier in this thread..

Thanks guys!

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

I have a (probably small) rental car currently just for me that I could take you in. I'll likely show up a little early and leave a little late (like 30 minutes on each end of the schedule). If you are OK with that I could take you, if you're planning on going to the bbq check the times.

Anyone is welcome to shoot whatever I have, just bring ammo or let me know ahead of time and I'll bring extra ammo you can buy at-cost. Probably bringing the full auto mac-10 (suppressed), neos (suppressed), and maybe a xdm-9 (suppressed). If you're interested you should probably PM deviant and see if you can get a lane next to our shared lane (mine/astcell's).

Seeess, this would be great, I'd really like to do this with you..

Are you staying at the rio ? Me and my bro are at NYny, but planning on getting up early and heading to the Rio for the morning meetup ritual in the parking lot I've heard that goes on there..

I'd love to lock this in with someone like you, would be one less thing I have to worry about, as I really really wanna get out to the shoot..

Neos, now thats a sci-fi looking gun.. interesting...

Im also interested in the toxicbbq too, would be a great way to meet some cool folk too that dont come to the shoot.. :)

Where is the bbq in relation to defcon/Rio ? I've looked all over the bbq pages.. its not clear..

Thanks :)

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

I will have a rental car, and am willing to give rides. However, assume Wednesday I will be extremely mobile and fluid. Landing, getting car, may or may not check in, picking up drop shipped farm equipment, heading out. I think Dakahuna will be at Vegas prior to myself, find him, as he is easier to find, and much more of a social butterfly than I am ;-). Plus I have at least one double that attends Defcon and am easily mistaken. People tell me I look like Alfred Molina, I don't think so. Thursday I can better plan to hook up with people.

Arrive: Wed. Las Vegas (LAS) at 1:30 PM

Provided my airline keeps the Airbus equipment as promised, should be reachable via the internet the entire flight time.

PS I love Starbucks(hint, hint) when driving, and Sam Adams(lighter side of black) when not.

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

I would like to ask nicely for anyone with a spare seat or two available for a ride out to and back from the shoot. Will chip in for gas or your beverage of choice.

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

On topic: rides are usually not a problem if you think ahead. The Hack Bus (tm) has made the Thursday morning shoot. With the "Dusk til Dawn" plans, logistics might get a little crazy tho. As we get closer it'd be nice if Evil Mofo or someone else associated with the Hack Bus would chime in here.

Yes. The bus will be ferrying people to the shoot for 10 bucks round trip, or 5 one way.

Holy crap, the shoot is now multiple days. This statement applies to Thursday morning and not Wednesday afternoon.

Nevermind, transportation situation resolved.

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

Hello all, another lowly Canadian here looking to secure a ride for the Wednesday shoot. Not bringing any firearms but did attend a shoot a few years back and had fun meeting people and checking out all the crazy guns. Can chip in whatever is needed like lane fees, gas, or other supplies.

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

I and my fellow Aussies would like a lift as none of us have transport.
We will of course chip in for fuel and thank you beers. (After the shoot...)

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

I may have four seats or I may have one, I have folks who wanted a ride already but have not gotten back to me.

Re: So what is everyone doing about transportation?

I'll be driving out Wed and attending the shoot on Thurs. I will have 3 seats available.
