Does anyone have paintballs they can bring? I believe I finally threw my box away after using them for 5-6 years. LOL
And Walmart here does not carry them any longer. I can always run to Academy Sports or other store if no one has any.

Been to 2 wally worlds no paintballs yet. David

Never mind, just ran to Academy Sports and picked up a box.

I'm pretty sure I only live a few hours from the shoot. This would be a lot of fun to check out. I'm new around here, though.

Do folks typically visit all three days or just come and go on individual days?

We've got a group from NWA that will be there Friday-Sunday. We also shoot Indoor Silhouette a couple times a month in Springdale. Look forward to meeting you at the event!

We plan to be there Thursday afternoon to help out and setup.

Can you post an update Thursday night with anything that may be needed? Our group won't be over till noon on Friday and could make some last minute adjustments to packing.

Being that this event is really focused on being a GTA family reunion, folks are free to come and go as they please. Come early, stay late or just come for one day. If you come for any day, make it Saturday for sure. That is the main event day where we have the paintball competition, field target fun shoot, catered lunch, raffle and door prize drawings along with the award of the paintball trophies and prizes. Some of us are arriving early to help setup and just enjoy "free for all" shooting. It gives us time behind the trigger to fine tune our setups.
Anyway, come whatever day(s) you can but if possible, make sure to be there Saturday!!!

Thanks Brian. David (Rocker1) and I will arrive Tuesday to start looking things over. We will get with Eric and Arnold and see what may be needed. I'll be sure to post something.
Thanks so much!!!

Update...

Today hay was cut in the main field where the firing line is going to be. Much of the field has in standing water yet, so a complete cut was not possible. I cut all the tent (firing line) area, the parking areas at the line accessible from entrance “B” and the range itself out to 325 plus yards....hopefully it will dry out for baling by Wednesday.

I just got back from testing the LED flood light set up over the cut field.......couldn’t be more happy with what it produced!!!!

I think I might be short on safety glasses for the kids plinking tent......and maybe some BB’s to keep the Red Ryder’s fed.

I’ve got plans for the first arrivals to assist in target hanging on the walking trail and tent set up after the hay is rolled up.

See y’all in a few days!!

Wife and I looking forward to the meeting everyone again she has been practicing

uglymike · « **Reply #213 on:** May 13, 2019, 12:49:17 PM »

I'm making my lists and checking them twice

This is the second year for me, so I have a better idea. Bringing 2 rifles to sell, 1/2 doz. scopes, several dozen tins of both .177 & .22 pellets, some odds/ends. Once again seeing the fine folks I met from last year and hopefully meet a bunch of new people this year as well. For me it's as much about the people and the ambience than the shooting.
Oh! just remembered to add earplugs to my list!! Until Thursday

sliderule · « **Reply #214 on:** May 13, 2019, 02:05:47 PM »

I will have tables with rifles for sale/trade including -Air Force SS .22 cal, Talon .20 cal, Condor .25 cal., Discovery .177 and others. I look forward to meeting everyone.

I believe the standard perception is that if someone can shoot an airgun...now they are family! :-) Bring them out! If they are kids and/or very unfamiliar with airguns and shooting, you might want to keep a doubly sharp eye on them.

I'll bet the hard part for you two is figuring out what shooting irons you want to bring to the shoot. Can't bring everything!!

ezman604 · « **Reply #218 on:** May 13, 2019, 10:23:45 PM »

Exactly right Mark!!! And Teresa on my case the whole time I'm loading telling me DO NOT over pack and take a bunch of airguns you won't even shoot. LOL
It's like having to choose which kid to take on family vacation and which you have to leave at home.
I am on vacation but was called into work today for almost 5 hours. But we STILL had time to play with a bunch of big boy toys...all kinds. Was a great day even if work tried to ruin it.
And I ain't kilt the old coot yet.
