2018 Gene Curtis Memorial GTA Fun Shoot/Airgun Show

[elguapo99]

I'm planning to bring my AR-15 that has a .22 lr conversion kit. I think Bob (AKA Springrrr) is bringing his lever action Marlin.

Of course it will be totally up to Eric's discretion whether we can operate these items on his property. Respect his wishes and instructions!!!
BE SURE to check with him prior and you MUST obey all firing line commands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I just got moonshine shaky last year. Dang bad influences at that Ramada!

So says one of the instigators. 

WHO ME?

[ShawninIL]

Ok great!  I think it was the TN location being considered that had a limited range.  I do get tired of shooting my 50 yard range here at home and look forward to being able to stretch out a bit more for a challenge.

Yes, I will still be mainly focused on the 50 yard competition and am hoping for a repeat.  I may have just got Moonshine lucky last year, lol.  Time will tell.

Maybe this will be your year.  I hope to get to check out that Veteran.  Tom (my friend) made our reservations today at the Hotel/Motel so it is on for us to go.

The Veteran will be there and it is a golf tee shooting machine!

Last year, watching you Ramada guys try (unsuccessfully) recover was half the fun!

I spoke to him at length the other day and he seemed ok with it. He said he is setting things up for a range but we will have to moderate ourselves when using it just like we do on the air gun range.

Before any powder burning shooting is done, we must check with him to be sure he is ok with it.  That is understood.

Mornin!!! Great day for pouring cement! Finally had a stretch of good weather to dig in and set the forms. And we had sunny weather for one approach to one sie of the bridge stiffen up enough to get a cement truck in. If all goes well,  the main cement work will be done this afternoon. Then, later this week up goes those steel bridge rails you saw earlier.

I sent some pics to DEz to post if he has time. Hopefully later this week I can show some bridge rails standing up. 

More later folks!

Thanks for the update Eric. Just a few more days to go...


Here is a view across the levee where the firing line will be and looking toward the camping area.





And a view in the opposite direction where you can see the rear doors to the Expo Center to the bridge.



Great job Eric!!!!

[Hsbgshop]

 
Fantastic day........

No blown out concrete forms.....

No burried or stuck cement truck......

All rebar stayed wired........

All bolts for the bridge rails remained in position.....

Weather is currently wonderful for proper cure.....

So happy right now with a Clamato mixed cocktail in my paw celebrating success....

As a old wise bearded man would say...HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!

More later....
Eric

Looking GOOD Eric! Just got word my job in Nashville starts the 21st of May.
So I can claim most of the fuel to the meet on Company business.
Then I only need to go to Nashville on my dime.
 

Bad part is I'll be travelling with less Guns. Maybe.
 

I still plan to bring the AV compressor if it's needed.

You're welcome to shoot anything I bring with me.   As long as you don't outshoot me. 

[Privateer]

The Nova .25 is a must. Some people want to see Big Bores so the BT65 .357
Maybe a couple springers to sell real cheap.
Oh. And a knife to cut off an arm or something incase I don't sell a gun and get hungry.

This is a view of the lake from the back side where we recommend camping and RV parking:

That looks more like a pond than a lake, is there more lake out of frame?

My son lives in Clever Mo. which is probably about 2 hours and 15 min. away, I would like to make it back but doubt I will be able to in May.

[Hsbgshop]

Tables are 40.00 contact me to reserve. Let me know what you have so I can group you with airgun guys or rimfire guys. Also if you wish to be placed next to someone, I can arrange that too.

Thanks!!,

I just finished one of two self-resetting knockdown targets for the fun shoot, waiting for glue to dry before adding bottles on the second one. These should be fun at 50-90 yards and there are no strings to pull like on my Gamo squirrels. I can't seem to add a picture though, attachments option at the bottom isn't working.

[uncle paulie]

Have you checked for correct file type and file size?

[tracker1955]

When I click on attachments and other options I do not get a browse tab as normal to upload a file at all. Have added pictures in the past without problems, but today it won't even let me browse to get the file.

[uncle paulie]

Not sure what it might be, I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable IT types will be able to figure it out.

[ezman604]

COULD be the location. Being in the Announcement Gate may limit adding attachments or photos to only staff. I'll take a look when I have a minute. But best guess is location and permissions.
