[AuntieBellum]

I vote Saturday, May 29th or Saturday, June 5.



But either Sunday is fine, too. I just can't be there on time on Sundays.

 

[Andy219]

Sunday June 6th sounds good to me, but so does sat the 5th, as long as I have 2 weeks notice I can use a vacation day.

 

[jedi]

@Andy219 you aren't invited cause you did not shoot too much this last time. =)
(Inside joke as Andy219 shoot some big bore .500 revolver and hurt his hand. That revolver hurt a lot of people at the last outing).

@AuntieBellum leave it to a girl! to pick a different date. LOL!
I understand your situation on Sundays but for many "sat" is the family day. =p

 

[Clif45]

That revolver hurt a lot of people at the last outing

It was a good hurt.

 

[Andy219]

Good hurt it was, can't wait til next time. Except next time the 500 will be last, for me at least.

 

[jaramia20]

I shoot the 500 2 more times then I should have , and I only shoot it twice !!! LOL

 

[451_Detonics]

I have a steel match on the 30th...beside i think the range may be crowded Memorial Day weekend. I vote for the 6th.

I would also be willing to bring targets and run some simple drills like the El Presidente or similar type drills.

 

[paperboy]

The 6th would be good.....Hey, I didn't get to chat with the folks from Ill. on Sunday...Sorry bout that..If you can make it again I will definitely be sure to introduce myself....Thanks for coming and you're welcome anytime....

 

[jedi]

Paperboy I'm not from IL. I'm in NWI (Griffith, IN). The guests I brought are.
I've been on a personal mission to introduce firearms to all my family, friends, and some co-workers who have never touched, shot, or are even scared of guns so they can see that what they see on TV is not real and not to believe all the media hype. In the process some have said "Thanks this was OK but I never want to do it again." Others have said, "I want to learn more". I'm in no way an instructor of anything but if I can at least get them interested I'm happy to send them along down the path of formal training (ie. basic NRA handgun course) and then getting them an LTCH or FOID (IL) and back to the range with their own weapons.

We have to spread the word or else we will lose our rights in a few generations. Off course the issue with spreading the word is that it leaves very little time for you to "play" at the range while you have guest. =P

 

[groovatron]

I voted for the 23rd......based soley on my availability. I have to perform at a festival on memorial day weekend and I will be on a fishing trip the following weekend. Regardless, I will attend as many as possible. I really enjoyed myself.

 

[gregtheplumber]

man i would definately love to get together with a bunch of other shooters. my girlfriend even has a camper down by there so it would be easy to get over there and shoot. shes in broken arrow

 

[grassman]

Forgot all about the last one hope to make it this time sounds like everybody had a good time. Oh I'll vote for june 6th

 

[Bill B]

I work Sunday's from 7am until 7 pm. Can we do something (just once) on a Saturday?
Of course I'll probably be at a karate tournament on that Saturday

 

[truegrit]

I voted the 6th my wife is usualy off that day so I have the best chance of getting there since I don't drive.

 

[Bill B]

sorry guys, I can't do Sundays because of work. Have fun and post pics!

 

[ChalupaCabras]

Honestly, the more time Ive got to plan for this, the more likely I will actually come. It takes me time to get things worked out with the family and work.

 

[semperfi211]

Wish I could make it to one of them but I am working weekends all summer.

 

[chef larry]

What should one bring to the NWI Meet & Shoot for the first time?

 

[garagegunmaker]

What should one bring to the NWI Meet & Shoot for the first time?

Lots of ammo to share.
