I was looking forward to seeing Miss Lizzie, Dez & Teresa, Rocker1,Keith and the rest of the gang and meeting some new faces. Don't know if I can make the 10 hr trip. $:-\$

I drove from Central Florida last year through 6 states. David

This is now a fully sanctioned GTA event we will support it with all our means possible. Ill pay for the rental space out of pocket but please dont be afraid to support this event in the DONATION area. Ill talk with DEZ and see what we can do for vendor support.

I am glad to hear that this is now fully sanctioned. However I don't agree with you solely footing the bill I think we as a group could come up with the money via a raffle.

Not to worry Matt.. we have ways of putting the money back through raffles, tee shirt/hat sales and such.... and I also still have the support from the company I work for. I talked to them again yesterday and told him that the GTA would now be sponsoring the event. He told me that that didn't matter to him and they will still support us. As we get closer to the event it will become clearer which areas we will need that support and make arrangement for them to give it... right now they have committed to us with tables, chairs and ice. Later we will decide if cash or door/raffle prizes would be better.
I spoke to Travis yesterday and we decided to make it a 2 day event. Today I will go and lock in the date with payment.

Remember folks.... this forum only exists through donations.
These fun shoots and events are not only a means for members to get together for fun and fellowship. They also serve as a means to generate funds to keep our forum running. Donations is our other life's blood.
My hope is to get our local community involved in this one for educational purposes. This area is huge on hunting... young people are exposed to it at a very young age. We can help teach safety. We can also gain exposure to our forum which will go along way with the growth.
Around here I'm known as 'The BB Gun Guy'... ya'll may just be surprised at who will be at this event. I do a bit of elbow rubbing with some of the city and county folks...

What you saying there Mr Brown. David

LOL..... Mr. Brown..

We have turkey shoots in the field next to our house as benefits for folks in need for various reasons. The local turnouts are surprising. I expect nothing less from this event.

Buldawg76 · « **Reply #125 on:** January 16, 2020, 11:18:19 AM »

So I assume it will be a Saturday/Sunday shooting event or a Friday/Saturday event. May have to change reservations if Friday/Saturday event. Still plenty of time.

As of right now I am planning to make the trip down to this fun shoot all I will need is a campsite and somewhere to wash off the travel grime.

There will be space for tent camping as well as RV parking (no hookups). I'm sure we can find a hose to wash you off....

Remember, I was thinking about a pellet gun activated dunk tank... lol

Yes... after we decided to make it a GTA event things got a bit bigger. Due to logistical and setup planning, it became apparent that we needed more time so we decided to extend it by one day.
I figure I'll take Friday and begin taping things off and getting some type of layout going. Friday afternoon our traveling members and volunteers should start rolling in.
Friday afternoon and Saturday morning we can to some fine tuning, setup our shooting benches, set up our canopies and benches and mark out the shooting lanes. Open for business shortly there after.
Saturday evening will be a great time for our traveling members to hang out around a campfire and share war stories. Face time. Maybe even get together at a local eatery.
Sunday we can access the turn out for the day and carry on or just enjoy some impromptu shooting amongst ourselves.... we'll go with the flow.
Many will have plans to pack up and head home. Monday Betty Lou and I will do clean up duty. I feel it very important to leave the place at least as good as we found it to insure our welcome for future events.
So far, every single local person that I have mentioned this to has been excited and plan on attending. Most said that this is exactly the type of thing they would like to see more of in our area.
We are not a large town which means word travels very fast. It also stretches far and wide.

Cool, I am only 3 hours away on a slow boat so I can just drive home Sunday evening after its all over rather than change my hotel reservations. I should be there Friday am so can help with setup for sure.
