Well folks, this morning was the initial meeting of the Contra Costa County group of Cotep's, "Co-Co Cotep'ers" - nice ring to it eh? Our meet up took place close to all of us, the USI Sportsmans Complex in Concord, Cal. www.http://unitedsportsmen.com/.

Alvin aka AlvinSF49, Mitch aka Chiselchst, Jim aka JimF4M1s and myself, Squibs McNubbits were present and accounted for. Our other bay area Cotep member, Ryan aka Wampyril13 could not make this meeting.

Jim was there first sporting his Ed Brown Kobra Carry and a WC CQB Compact. Mitch brought a trio of DW's, 2 Valors - ( one SS and one Black ) and a black Vbob. Alvin showed up with the newest DW to hit the market, a SS Specialist. Do you have to guess what I brought, yep you got it, the KIMBERRRR and the Cbob.

Wow, what a great group of guys and guns. It's taken us some time to get all of our schedules to match and it was worth the wait. We talked, laughed and shared stories. Nobody was uptight and it was a great morning. Man, these guys can shoot. Sorry, didn't take a pics of our targets, but rest assured, nobody will survive entering one of these guys residences unwanted! Everyone invited the others to shoot each others guns. No gun snobs or "don't touch my guns" going on with these guy.

Oh yeah, I presented them each a Cotep patch. I've been the recipient of a lot of generosity and wanted to pass that on to my newest friends.

And just in case you are wondering, YES ALL OF MY RELOADS I BROUGHT WENT BANG AND SAILED DOWNRANGE!!! ( not always accurately, but they went )

Here's our group photo:

Thanks again guys.

skosh,

What a blast! Had a great time, and it was GREAT fun meeting some fellow COTEP'ers...

What a class group! The range was very busy, but we had enough space to manage, and stick together. That wasn't an issue. Everyone behaved themselves (non-COTEP's I mean ;) )

I got to shoot a WC, and the new Specialist :D. Wow...thanks for that Jim & Alvin!

It was fun to share with the others, and they were very generous. No thanks to Alvin, a Specialist is now on my radar screen (it's all his fault, LOL).

Thanks so much for setting this up, I'm glad you worked to make it happen!

Thanks again!

I agree with Ed, had a Blast but the poor other guys got stuck eating rice and monkey meat and chocolate covered dog brains for desert http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh450/NAVET74/puke.gifhttp://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh450/NAVET74/puke.gifhttp://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh450/NAVET74/puke.gif

I wasn't going to bring it up, but I think Jim had "stick-um" on his fingers...

I've never seen anyone gather and separate brass as fast as him! Funny

He gathered brass faster than Ethiopian slurps down porridge.

Thanks to him, I came home with more than double the amount of brass I shot!

Thanks again buddy!

Sir Skosh! First of all I want to thank you for organizing this COTEP meet up. It was a pleasure being able to finally meet up, converse and shoot, with you, Mitch & Jim.

I had such a good time! You guys were all great and very easy to get along with. It felt like we already knew one another.

These guys brought quite a catalog of fine firearms out today and I would not want to be the target down range with any of these guys squeezing the trigger for sure! Team Co-Co will get it done!

I have not had many opportunities to shoot different high end models like I did today. The experience is probably not good for my wallet:(

Thanks Mitch for letting me shoot your trio of DW's. I really like the black VBOB, the checkered back strap. It makes a world of difference compared to the smooth one on my Classic. & to Jim, that Ed Brown and the WC is going to set me back some day and I will put the blame on you:D Both are a pleasure to shoot. Thank you.

Skosh keep running point. I can't wait til next meet up! It was so much fun & thank you again for the patch.!

This is what Cotep should be about. Getting together in real life. I've had the honor to shoot with several of the CT Cotepers, and have had a great time. Every time! Glad you had a good outing!

Love ya Ellison!
