I'm in for those dates, and although I can't speak for triggertreat I'll bet he'll be in for it too. Will send him a pm with the link.

Thanks for the heads up Bill! That's still a ways away, but as of now my calendar is clear. I think this would be a blast! Thanks for putting this together!

I was pretty sure you, John and Kris would be in, considering all 3 of you can hit the site with a rock from where ya'll are.

Bill, I wish I could make it, but it just won't be possible.

Sounds like it will be a lot of fun in any case!
It's not until May.... things may change for you.

I doubt I will be able to afford a new car by then... (heavy sigh)
I happen to know a guy that has a big ole truck that has been known to travel around willy nilly. Rumor has it that he has plans to attend. he may even drive by your place and slow down enough for you to toss some camping gear and a gun in the back of the truck and jump in.....
Stranger things have happened, you know.

Knowing him he would slowdown just enough for you to toss everything in then when you open the door he will slam on the brakes lol...

Bill...you know I'm in, and my offer stands to pay for the pavilion rental.

Shoot yeah count me in for a good ole Southern shoot out. You bring the Pepsi and I'll bring the Kuntry.

Where's the poll for this event?

I have been waiting on admin to make this an official sponsored GTA event. I have no idea just yet what they meant by "There will be a 2020 Fun shoot", so I wanted to keep my options open for that.

I also would like to hear if PA will sponsor the competitions and offer up the certificates to the winners, plus there's the vendor participation and raffles. All of which have always been in my time on here.

Regardless of the pending logistics to be worked out, a lot of hands I haven't shaken yet have already committed to going that I am looking forward to shaking hands with. Plus, there's some friends from previous shoots like Lizzie, Dave and Rocker1 that say they can make it. I sure hope Lloyd will come even though his travel companion (Marty2) cannot. And then there's Travis and co. I sure hope so...At any rate we gonna have some fun and fellowship with what we have, our weapons of choice, which is really the prize.

Tom, get ready to rumble...

Oh man I hate to miss this one. With the list of characters attending, it could be a classic.

avator · « **Reply #90 on:** January 15, 2020, 07:39:50 AM »

I see this thread has been moved to the Announcement Gate... Thanks for that.
I also added a poll. Please, even if you've verbally confirmed, hit the poll.

Travis... If you feel this is worthy of becoming a GTA sponsored event then FWIW, you have my blessing. Being brand new to setting one of these things up, I would only ask that someone with experience reach out to vendors, as suggested, and offer them the option to get involved in any capacity they choose.
Again, SMART ALABAMA LLC. https://www.smart-alabama.com/ (the company I work for) has offer to support us.... those details to come. I'm pretty sure I can get other local support.
I would suggest it dubbed "South East Area GTA Fun Shoot" being we are just a bit out of reach of our North Eastern family. That would give those folks the option to get something going in their area. Either way, I still plan on donating the proceeds (above my initial out of pocket expenses. Those being the site rental and cost of the Pepsi trailer w/softdrinks included) to the GTA. I would be transparent with a ledger and ask one of our trusted staff member to co-monitor these funds.
Items donated for door prizes and raffles will become the property of the GTA.
Guns and airgun related items, along with the proceeds from those sales, offered for sale during this event will remain the property of those members.
If this is acceptable to all concerned.... make it so.

Hop on a plane just as I plan to do!
Haha

By the time you pay for gasoline and your drive time, it's probably just about as inexpensive to fly.

Hey Lizzie.... you are more than welcome to send what guns you plan to bring directly here. Betty Lou is a stay at home and they will not be left unattended.
This just might avoid some issues from the past that I won't go into....

Lizzie, Be sure you don't have the smell of cookies on your hands if you mail Bill your guns!

Well... Dad always did say... "Son, if you're going to jump into something you might as well go in sliding sideways and on fire".

So, flame on !!!

This thing has apparently exploded in a very short time.
You may want to go back to the top of the thread and reread the first post.
We have gone from being a little friendly one day get together to a full blown GTA sanctioned and backed annual 2 day event !!!
Arrangements are being made to contact all the typical GTA event supporting vendors to come aboard.
Fortunately I originally planned this a few months in the future so we can take the time to develop the details and make it as enjoyable as any event in the past.
Travis and I had a phone conversation today and the foundation has been set. Betty Lou has grabbed two handfuls of hair and is now in the process of separating them from her head.... that right there is an event to witness.
