Dez did an outstanding job of organizing and keeping the event running smoothly(even though he deserted us before it was time to set up the canopys ).

LOLIt's called strategic timing. It wasn't that I was really down in my back (hopefully hid it well during the event) but honestly had to run all day getting the supplies for the event. So Teresa and I could better enjoy the event this year. Which we did for sure!!! Sorry I wasn't there to moan and groan over putting up the tents. But thanks to you guys for helping Hargis get 'er dun!!!
I had a good time at my first fun shoot. It was nice to meet some of the members and put some faces with the names. I now see why mobilemail stayed at the Holiday Inn, there is a bunch of bad influences at that Ramada!

What a weekend!!! Dez, his wife Teresa and the rest of the crew who put this event on could not have been more hospitable and did a terrific job. This is definitely an opportunity to meet kindred spirits and form lifelong friendships. Everyone who attended was gracious with their time, knowledge and equipment and even though the weather was less than perfect the experience was. I was able to spend time with some amazing people and shoot some amazing guns. My friend and I ended up sharing a shooting area with Jerry (Tater) and his wife Nicole who were an absolute blast and the chance to meet and hang with them was worth the trip itself. We were right next to Jeremy (Smaug), Carl and Jeff (Jeff aka Privateer) and managed to chat and/or shoot with everyone there at one time or another. Lizzie also spent some time with our little group and was absolutely delightful to talk with. I have never met anyone with a more infectious smile than Liz. Hopefully her R1 will make it's way back to her (Another story in itself). So many other great people and I am sure more stories to come. The only thing that would make this event better is if it was a week long. Gipper (Brian)
