Huge props to Aircraft for always setting up these fantastic get-togethers!

I didn't really take the time to read through this thread until I looked at my calendar and noticed the meeting was during the new moon lunar cycle!

Even though I've sold off a lot of my lights I'm looking forward to this meeting anyways.

I cant wait to come to the CPF meet!!

Does anyone know if there is a long stretch for a little "ThrowOff" or " Show n' Throw" if you will?

The park has large, dark open fields just north of the pavilion. The tree line is around 275~300yds.

You can also check out this Youtube video I made for my subs. It only shows the ~120yd field just South the pavilion.
In the video I'm using a JetBeam BC40w, maybe it'll help you get an Idea of the range.

Post Update: I took a daytime video of the park last time I visited.

Ok it never clicked in my head that Veteran's park is where I've playing a few rounds of disk golf before. From what I remember it is a large park with plenty of hills and open areas. What lights are you all bringing? Will anyone be bringing a lux meter by chance? I'm really looking forward to this! Can't wait to meet you all and see some different lights!

[Aircraft800]

I know saabluster has one, he also has a home built Integrating Sphere, quite cool and very accurate! I hope he brings both!

[Aircraft800]

Coming sooner that you think! Bump Me!

[wquiles]

I got my prototype MagnetoDrive ready!!!

[Aircraft800]

Sweet!! Nice prototype Will!

[X_Marine]

Well I hope Will is bringing security also if he is only bringing one of his creations. I know there will be more that one there just about willing to kill for that thing. lol

Needless to say, but I will anyway, it is looking almost too good Will!.. ')
Thanks

Awesome! Any vendors coming out? I need to upgrade a few surefire weapon lightbulbs. Hope to meet a few of you guys and learn a little more.

[Diablo_331]

Do we have a list for the pot-luck going yet? I could bring some chips and/or drinks.

[Aircraft800]

Lol... Seem to have forgotten that list! I'll get one going. If there isn't much responses, I'll pick up some pizza or burgers or something.

I may try to head up for the GTG. What would be the best part of Arlington to stay as far as hotel accommodations that is near the park location?

I'm not sure cause I don't live there, but the ballpark and stadium are close buy, and there are a ton of hotels motels there.

I'm so excited! the GTG is only a few days away! Time to start filling up my Li-ons on my super slow charger.

[LEDite]

Finished my new 638nm laser last night for the meeting.

Now to get the dual-18650 XML light with the separate mode control finished.

New higher power UV lights as always.

I also will be bringing lots of 18650 cells and chargers.

Forecast is for a perfect 70 degrees Saturday.

See ya there.

[Aircraft800]

Excellent! I've got some projects to get done myself. I'll be bringing a Laser Genetics ND5, Maybe you laser guys can teach me a little about it. I think one of my Aspheric green lights smokes it anyway. Will have to do a little shootout.

Another special thanks to Jim, he has offered to cook the burgers!

[Hugo2x]

Don't forget to bring cool gun related items to the meet, scopes, optics, Tritium sights, etc.

[X_Marine]

Rgr, but leave the ammo at home. ')

I'm still trying to pack up. lol
Thanks

I am bringing my dad and neice and nephew who are all flashaholics. We are bringing all the cool flashlights we have, although its nothing too special. We look forward to meeting everyone and playing with all the toys!

[Diablo_331]

The time is nearing us folks! I wish everyone a safe trip and can't wait to meet you all!

[Draven451]

On the road about 2 hours away!

[Aircraft800]

Thanks again for a great evening! I think Will was right, we have the biggest, best, CPF group GTG in the world! (at least I think so!)

If you have any pictures, please send them to me and I can add them to post 1. My username @ gmail.com
