IDK these kids today, way back in the dark ages before cell phones and GPS we found our way to almost anywhere and all it took was a decent gas station map (free in most stations or perhaps $0.10 ) and a boy scout compass . We got to where we were going . Made it from Charleston Sc to LA Cali and back in 5 weeks on a 1967 Harley Sportster XLCH . we did about 400 miles a day and had a ball only got really lost 3 times and ended up with dinner an d a place to sleep twice. It was an adventure . PS most interstates were not complete back in 1967

I am really looking forward to this event and seeing lots of old friends. Some shooting and good food. Sounds like the venue is perfect for the GTA crowd. I'll be bringing a car load of airguns, too, with some to sell or trade. I'll be letting go of a few unusual modified Discoverys, some unique Marauder pistols, and a Quackenbush .357 Outlaw pistol, at the very least.
Hope to see lots and lots of folks there!!

The Vikings sailed with a piece of rock called a Sun Stone and got around pretty good.
They didn't even have a compass!!

A slightly unknown fact.....
Routes going north/south are odd numbers.
Routes going east/west are even numbers.

You are correct, Jeff; and the numbers start on the west coast (Interstate 5) going east for south to north roads - and from the southern border going north (Interstate 10) for west to east roads.) This also hold true for US Highways and state roads.

Excluding US 33
Not sure if there's other exceptions but I know about that one.

Just off the phone with Hargis. We are both getting excited to see how our event turns out. We're already talking next year and making it bigger and better. LOL
He has approval for a LARGE air conditioned concession hall. We will have even more room next year for all of the vendors that will be sick they didn't make it this year. We have reserved 20 vendor tables already for this year. There will also be room outside the concession for vendors to bring and set up pop-ups if they want.
He is getting the two BIG military mess tents out and set up in the next couple of days. These will cover the firing line and will also be large enough for an airgun swap meet. Bring your airguns and tables, set up to show them off, sell or trade!!!
I still have plans to smoke some Boston Butts and serve them up Saturday. The GTA meal.

The SCUBA shop does not have portable equipment. They are located 20 minutes away. They have a cascade system and can fill 6-8 cylinders before having to recharge their system. They will charge $10 each and cylinders MUST have current hydro or they will not touch them. Hargis is trying to find someone else from a fire department or rescue squad to come out to the event to fill. Just be aware of the issues and bring plenty of air and maybe a compressor.

I'm bringing at least 2-4500 cylinders and maybe a 3000 if I have room. Then again, I may be pulling a trailer loaded.
Targets...we have several folks promising to bring targets. We need whatever you think Is fun to shoot. We have some steel plinkers and spinners coming. I have some for lower powered airguns. I'll try to build some target stands also. But if we all pitch in we can make this a great event and fun for all. We keep growing and hopefully by next year we won't need to ask for as much from you.

Hargis is going to try and get a load of firewood for campfires. There may be a charge for a bundle but not much. It will be well worth dropping a bit of money into the kitty for Hargis since he is donating the ENTIRE facility and property to us at no charge.
Anyway, one week from today I will be on site and doing final prep. WooHoo!!!!

See you all there...oh, and don't forget the discount code "GTA" to give them at the Ramada Inn!!!

Any line on a weather report for the area

Pappy · « **Reply #167 on:** May 05, 2015, 10:56:02 PM »

Accuweather calling for low 80's and sunny, no rain. Hope it holds true.

Yep...warm, nice and 20% chance of scattered showers. Probably about the same as we have seen in Belton in the past.

For those that were shipping me items like targets or raffle/door prize items, just a quick reminder. I will be on vacation all next week so items should be delivered to me by this Friday.

And for those of you coming, below is what you will see and will know you're in the right place.

I want to thank Nikoman for creating and shipping this outstanding banner!!!! Next year we will have this one and one more with the title of Welcome to the Gene Curtis Memorial GTA Fun Shoot/Airgun Show.
Thanks again Niko!!!

Well I know what to look for then.

I do know the exit as I've stopped at the truck stop there many times.

lloyd-ss · « **Reply #171 on:** May 07, 2015, 08:49:57 AM »

I am sure you have already answered this, but this event is open to ALL airgunners, not just GTA members, correct? Of course, once they attend, they will most likely become GTA members !
I am getting pumped about this!!
Thanks,
Lloyd

Thank you! Excellent !

Most definitely invite a guest or two. Glad you found a co-driver Lloyd. And company for the journey. We are always needing to introduce folks to our fun sport and to our GTA family. Hargis said he will be running radio ads also, so expect to see a lot of locals coning out to see what we're all about. Everyone be good ambassadors for the airgun community as well as for GTA.

Anyone start packing or getting things together yet ?

Starting to pack the camper tomorrow. Still trying to figure out where to put all this stuff.

Just confirmed funds for a rental to make sure I make it.
How long does it take to pedal from Ohio to Kentucky?

Not sure if I mentioned this already but will again just in case, I will be bringing down a good portion of PA's dented tin collection to sell at the event. Lots of great pellets (most in more than acceptable shape) at DEEP discounts.

I'll be going through most of it to confirm inventory early next week. Let me know if there is anything yall are looking for!
