Weekend Shootout! Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

Criminal: THE EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

It appears that a [b]geocacher[/b] has contacted Simpson Paper Company to complain about this event. Simpson has closed the area to shooting so this event will have to be cancelled. I’m terribly sorry to everyone who has purchased ammunition and food for the event. Look for an informal get together next weekend at a location to be determined.

Geocache Description:


WHEN:  High Noon on the 6th of May.

WHERE:  At the coordinates above, which is down Route 8 about 15 minutes west of Olympia.

WHY:  Because sometimes things need shooting.

BRING:  Things that need shooting, foods that need eating, and beverages that need drinking.  

NOTES:
You do NOT need to own or bring a gun to attend.  See the example Will Attend post below.
If the gate is closed, parking will be tight.  
Children are welcome!  Please remind them of the safety rules for the handling of firearms.
We'll be tailgating after the shooting so bring your BBQs and food.  
Booze is welcomed and encouraged, however we won't be indulging until we're finished shooting.

Bring anything you want to shoot at, like reactive targets, bowling pins, water-filled jugs, paper targets, fruit, etc.  Whatever you bring though, please remember that we'll need to clean it up afterward (except the fruit).  Please bring sawhorses or a table, if you have one, to hold the targets.

 

SAFETY NOTES:
As always, safety is paramount!  
ANYONE who sees an unsafe condition during the shooting portion of the event will yell, "CEASE FIRE!" at which point all firing will cease and weapons made secure until the unsafe condition is corrected.  

The Four Rules of Firearms Safety are:
1. Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
2. Never point the business end (where the bullets come out) at anything you don't intend to destroy.  
3. Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are ready to fire.
4. Be absolutely sure of your target and what is beyond it.

If you'd like to attend and are willing to let other attendees shoot your firearm, please list the gun and the exact ammunition they will need to buy for it.  
If you'd like to attend and would like to shoot another attendee's gun, please buy the exact ammunition they have listed.  If you're unsure, PM or email them with any questions.  
It's not a good idea to use someone else's reloaded ammunition in another person's firearm, please buy commercial ammunition.
