Next trip to Predator. 4rd or the 18th of March?

o1s1n

Well, I don't know about you lot, but I'm itching for more. So far there's the 4th and the 18th. Both being Sundays. The one major problem with the 18th is that it's the day after St. Patrick's day. I can imagine a skirmish is most definitely not a hang over cure. (or maybe it is???)

Anyway, going to throw up a poll to see if anyone interested. I hope you all respond favorably. The trip up there doesn't take *that* long!

Hmm im not gunna vote yet as its a sunday and a long drive and work the next day . ill have to see about a weeks holiday so my legs can rest ;p

o1s1n

I know what you mean. My arm just started hurting me today. Not bringing a sling, bad idea!

EyesOnly

my arms are fine (i made sure i had a sling ;p), but id love to go again, but my legs are saying nooooo!!!!!!!

EDIT: oh and i found a bag of bb's ill bring to the next skirmish http://www.xtreme-shot.com/pg001.html

You guys should try and make it up for any special weekend events that Predator hold over the summer as they're pretty good value and would allow you to get to 2 shoots in one weekend.

They did 2 last summer ( Final Sunrise & Wave of Freedom ). Both of them were basically, a full day of shooting on the Saturday then a pub quiz / boozing session on the Saturday night with camping onsite, followed by more shooting on the Sunday.
Would be so much better for you all instead of having to come all they way up from Dublin and then go all the way back down again in one day.

Or if you have enough people going, and are happy to pay deposits, you can book Predator out yourselves for whatever date you want.

FRV & SG-1 are also good sites and well worth a visit at some point. :cool:

I'd definatly be up for the 4th, still need to get camo,vest etc.
and wolf armouries has my p90 for the last 6 weeks waiting on a refund as it was faulty when i bought it.
So it may be me running around in my underwear with a desert eagle, but what the hell, i'm up for it

zero19

I'm gonna try get a few of my mates to go, all using rental gear of course...

Harekin

I think we souldnt rent the site cos its always good to have as many people as possible, and people you dont know is even better. Id be on for the staying over and boozing on site, that'd be pretty cool!

o1s1n

Staying over would be an interesting experience alright. I'd be up for that.

Turns out I'm going to New York on the 5th of March. So I cast a vote for the 18th!

N.O.I.P.

Yarr bring on the votes me hearties, join the crew of the good ship "18th of March" har har we're catching up.


I woke up on the pirate side of the bed

Fiach Dubh

My votes down for the 18th as well. I don't mind waiting a couple more weeks.

EyesOnly

lol N.O.I.P i was beginning to think you where crippled and unable to make it to a pc ;p.

N.O.I.P.

Crippled? Me? well kinda, but unable to make it to a PC? Not a chance mate if they don't bury me with one I'll crawl out of the grave and head straight to the nearest net cafe

liamo333

I'm up for the 4th, the sooner the better:D

CrazyRabbit

I'll go on either dates, or both. I can imagine a low turnout on the 18th though.

Stalfos

I'm sure at all which to go for but i'll say the 4th cause it's closer and i think i'll be busy the 18th (well the 17th would affect the 18th ). But i'm ok with either tbh.

Well I wont be up on the 4th as I'm going away on the 5th. So you wont have anyone to tell you what to do :P heh

Stalfos

What? i was doing alrite once i got my bearings. I was just using you as cover nothing more.

o1s1n

"hey Oisin, is that guy green?"

o1s1n

Actually, pick a gun to buy yet?

Stalfos

I remember that and you said he wasn't and he shot you and it was left to me to take him out.

I'd probably be looking at something like this to start with but i dont know to much about these things. http://www.airsoft-guns.co.uk/acatalog/info_SPCOM4A1C.html

o1s1n

Right. Buy one of these from this shop (ehobbyasia). They're all Tokyo Marui so they're all brilliantly made
Personally, I'd go with the first.

You'll also need a battery, charger and maybe an extra mag. Come up here sometime and we can sort something out.

Stalfos

alright thanks man. See i wouldn't really know the difference between the three. that and some camouflage gear and i'll be happy. wasn't to impressed with the rental stuff tbh. Was kinda one size fits small.

o1s1n

Well, most of those guns by Tokyo Marui preform the same. So it's just down to which one you prefer the look of really.

You can order yourself some nice camo gear from ehobbyasia too.
Save up and just get it all in one go!

Evolute

i will definately be up for the 18th and its not to close and not too far away either so ill definately be up for it the only problem is will everyone be up for getting a bus on the 18th or can they even make it?

Skatedude

my cousin is also up for it if its the 4th as getting up early on the day after paddy is just not going to happen

Spitfire666

if im going (if....ha)
it'll most likely be the 4th, drink related reasons and all that

Skatedude

its close but most seem to want the 4th, mabey a new thread asking for just names of those going if we do pick the 4th and possibly n.o.i.p looking into a minibus again?

EyesOnly

so whats the story with this trip????

Spitfire666

Im going on the fourth and will probly have about 5-7 people with me who are not online.

o1s1n

I'm not sure. I mentioned it briefly to N.O.I.P on Saturday and he still seemed to think it was going ahead on the 4th. Which is quite soon actually.
You lot would wanna start sorting it out

Spitfire666

Unfortunatly i wont have room to offer lifts but should anyone need to folllow in a convoy theres plenty of places to meet along the way.

Skatedude

Are we renting the minibus again? if so i'd like to stick my name down for it, i really dont fancy a 2 hour drive, but with the bus we can catch a bit of kip on the way,

EyesOnly

well i think were(me,bro and nephew) going up on the 4th, heading up on Saturday tho and finding a hotel/B&B or just sleeping in the car for the night

Sounds a bit extreme...would driving up on the morning not be a lot easier????

here.from.day.1

So is there a bus going? The 4th is nearing!

Well it's about 4-5hrs drive = my bro is tired before we even start, And im the Navi so im pritty much tired/pi$%$d off when we get their. You should have heard us on the way up the last time lol .

Spitfire666

Come on lads get the finger out.
HRTA will be open Saturday and closed Sunday so theres no excuse not to come up on the 4th.

That still isn't as bad in my mind as sleeping in a cold car. Getting shivers just thinking about it. Ah well, whatever you're into! I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.

Won't be heading up myself this time

Ample Free ...?

Is there a bus going at all. I think i'm right in saying the new "regular bus" isn't going this weekend, so do we just scrap the whole idea and go on the 18th?

Spitfire666

The new regular bus is not up and running just yet. should be ready to roll in a few weeks.
No need to cancel this weekend though. drive up.

Skatedude

smegg. needed the bus to get there
