Congrats Travis!  I just got off the road and was checking to see who took the top spot.  At first It looked like Dez did from the photo holding the trophy, but alas it was the Oldpro with the Raptor.  No surprise there.  Sorry I wasn't there to battle it out with you all.


Who won the Big bore slot?

Dave (Grumpy old man) Furr took first I took second

Ok, thanks for setting me straight.  It looked like the Raptor next to the 1st place trophy, and Dez holding a trophy, all having me confused, which doesn't take much.


I did get a new gun while I was away in Chicago.  When I showed up at the wedding, I was presented with this gun (as a funny) by the groom's mother.  My wife must have mentioned my missing the fun shoot, lol.





Hope all have safe travels back home, and I am looking forward to seeing further reports and pics of the events.


Congrats Grumpy on the win!

I gave everyone a relief from my shooting comedy this year but allowed David, Travis and Matt to all compete in Big Bore with my .30 Warp. Congrats old coot and old pro. LOL

I flew my drone over the firing line yesterday but have not had time to check and edit the video. I'll get it cleaned up and posted shortly. For now, I'm tired.
A big storm blew threw right after we wrapped up the activities today. Thank goodness no one was hurt. The tents took damage. We will do what we can to help Eric rebuild the shelters before next year. He and Michelle have taken such good care of us that we need to return the favor!!!!

It’s still a good shooter Dave.

Another great GTA event is now in the history books. MANY thanks to our fantastic hosts Eric and Michelle Graetz. I can't say enough about them and opening their property up to accommodate us airgun nutz. But thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
Thanks to JR Wilson and Linda for catering the fantastic meal today. Great as always with smoked ribs, smoked chicken and pulled pork, baked beans, slaw, drinks and desserts. WOW!!!
Thank you to all of the GTA vendors and a special thanks to the members that donated items for raffle and door prizes. There was some really neat stuff for us to take home.
A very memorable event for me was the visit from our dear old friend Joe (jonnnyboy) and his bride Penny. We have not seen our friend in a long time and we were blessed and relieved to see him again. I hope he will "sneak" back on here more often. We miss you my brother!!!!
A very special thanks to the NASA crew for coming down a while back and getting with Eric about laying out an FT trail. And a very heart felt thanks to Mitch (aluminumfetish) for working tirelessly with Eric early this week actually building the very neat FT trail. This will hopefully become an annual event also. And thanks to Eric for the idea, making it happen and even donating airgun prizes to the winners!!!
MANY thanks to each and every one of you that made the journey to be here this year. Our numbers were down due mainly to conflicts with family graduations or weddings. Some we expected to see had other commitments. But those that came, I believe, had a great time as we always do. It is an event to come to for sure!!!
Thanks for all of the support buying raffle tickets. We were able to pay for the event and have a little left over to put in the kitty for forum support. Thank you all for that.
Teresa and I are blessed to have so many of you come to the event and offer to help. It is very appreciated and is one main reason we will continue to set this event up for you every year we can possibly still do it. We are exhausted but as always, it is a rewarding tired. Thanks to all of you for making this an event we will remember. Safe travels back home and make your plans to come back next year. We ARE thinking about possibly breaking tradition and moving the event to the Fall. POSSIBLY....
I'll put up a poll and also drag it past our hosts for their thoughts.
GOD Bless and take care.
D Ez & Teresa

Great photos, Mark- tell Bree thanks!

[Sfttailrdr46]

Great pictures Mark thank you and Bree for sharing them .  Once The dates are set for next years event I plan on locking them in and will advise all who mess with that schedule that they can do it without me cause I'm going to Horseshoe Bend for the fun shoot 

[Gipper]

The biggest question for me is how much loot did Mark win in the raffle this year!!

Zip, and not for lack of trying! But Bree won an Airmax Varminter air rifle.

[Gipper]

Well at least the clan didnt get skunked! And I bet if you are really nice to her she may let you shoot it. 😀

I am fairly new to this drone and need a bit more stick time. But here is a rough video of the 2019 GTA Fun Shoot firing line. This was Friday and only had about 1/2 or maybe 1/3 of the targets we eventually set up. You can see we had an awesome setup!!! Thanks to all of the hard work by Eric. As I give a shot of the stocked pond, you will see the levee and the bridge he constructed for us last year. Past the bridge behind the small tree line you can just make out the Expo Center. That is where we hold the raffles, presentations and gather to eat.
Eric's postmaster had his drone out there also so I'm sure we will see more video shortly.

[triggertreat]

Thanks for the flyover DEz! Quite the setup compared to the inaugural one.  Eric sure does know how to throw an airgun party for us.  I would have liked to have shot under those lights in the cooler evenings.  Maybe next year...

I actually did better than Mark this year! Once again it was a fun time visiting with everyone, especially Miss Lizzie and Steven. And I made possibly the most amazing shot in the paintball contest. I shot that tee right out from under the paintball! Didn't even touch the paintball! Really missed everyone that couldn't make it; Keith,Don,Jeff from Treneir, AJ and all the rest. Heck even Gipper. Wasn't the same without you guys. Don't get me wrong, we still had fun without you, it just was different.

[dk1677]

Great pictures and video guys! You should have had a flying target behind the drone 

[ezman604]

Dave, you noticed I didn't fly too far in FRONT of the line. Trying to avoid any over zealous shooters. LOL
