2019 GTA Gene Curtis Memorial Fun Shoot/Airgun Show

[bhdevil]

the wife and i had a great time at the funshoot. At least two blocks went through the top of the canopies one just missed me while i was helping the gentleman in the  knee wheelchair trying to keep things from flying away. Next YR wife is talking about spending that week at crown point so we can fish as well as shoot. David i got the FX Crown in .22 want to get a .30 barrel kit for it now lol. Glad to hear everyone made it home ok. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing something like the extreme bench rest next yr at the funshoot. from the looks of the rifles used in the pcp paintball shoot im wondering if we shouldnt push it out to 75 or 100 just kidding my wife would kill me if it was pushed out that far since she has my gaunlet now and she knows it can hit at 50 lol. wife and i both are looking forward to next yrs get together.

Assume you meant 2020 for the post above. Any update on confirming dates from our host?

Yes and no. Date is for 2020 and still waiting on Eric to confirm he is ready to host again. Will post as soon as I know something.

Starting to think Eric doesn't want us back.

Such a great facility and area as well...

[ezman604]

Absolutely....and the best of hosts!!!!

Did we as a group, come close to making up for a reasonable portion of his tent losses?  If needed, maybe another fund raiser would be in order.

We could always do it at Dez's place, then he wouldn't have to spend five days packing.   

You will sure be popular in the neighborhood!!

Based on the valuation from Eric to repair/replace, yes - the GTA fundraiser earlier in the year covered the expenses.

[ezman604]

The funds raised SHOULD have covered replacement but I've not gotten confirmation from Eric. The price MAY have gone up since he purchased them or he may not have found the deal he did on the original tents. Still awaiting word from him on all that. MANY thanks again to all that helped with the fund raising!!!!

[aluminumfetish]

I am pretty sure the tents had no impact on Eric's willingness to re-host. I think the lack of help and support he got may be the reason he's not eager to do it again. JMHO.

[ezman604]

I don't doubt that. It's a massive undertaking for one or two people. Even my part is a daunting task and takes all mine and Teresa's efforts. Folks that volunteer to help are a GOD send and appreciated more than you know. So I totally get it if he hesitates to host. We DO need more help with our event to make it more fun and enjoyable for all. I will personally come early and do whatever it takes.

[Insanity]

I can imagine that more people want to just show up and have fun then leave. That really takes a lot out of the host. I wasn't able to attend and probably wont again unless it were closer.

[aluminumfetish]

Is Hargis open to hosting again ? I would go back to HSB in a heartbeat, I really enjoyed that little town and the people. Eric was incredibly kind to me, we had some good chats. He's a brilliant guy and has a passion for guns like nobody I have met. Being realistic, Kentucky seemed to be a good location for travel, not too far for some of us (wink). Is Galaitin /Glencoe KY still an option for 2020 ? It's 50 miles from my house so please say yes.
