Muchos gracias to marvin02 for stopping by today to pick up the .22lr ammo. Much appreciated, and nice to meet you.
Good luck re the event, guys, and hope you get it in this year.

Good to meet you too, hope we get to hold the event this summer.

Looking like it's still on?

At this point we're still not 100% sure. An email has been sent to DNR to ask about pushing the date back. Haven't gotten a response as of yet

DOES SATURDAY JULY 25, 2020 WORK FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS?

PM me asap!
DNR HQ also wants to limit it to no more then 75 attending to try and reduce crowds. We have more then enough space to keep everyone 6' apart as well.

What we need to think about is do we "wipe down" the guns between users? Just make them all wear gloves?

Im good but I would cancel this year at this point. We saw them cut off the website after 120 people and who's to say they wont pull the plug after 50 sign ups. I wont be wiping anything down in between as it does no good when they're breathing in rhe air around them right after shooting.

 

[2A_Tom]

I'm out.

 

[d.kaufman]

I'm good for the date as well, but in agreement with 1775. If they're gonna limit the participation and institute a bunch of other crap rules we may as well wait till next year

 

[2A_Tom]

At the last M&E Gunbunnies told me his group had purchased a piece of land near Jasper Pulaski and they were building a range that was not improved yet. He could arrange for us to use it for this event.

We used to put a pot of money into Winamac range. Would anyone else be interested in helping them improve their range, for the use of it?

 

[spencer rifle]

Probably not, as we will be getting back from a Philmont scout trip the day before.

That and I don't think now is a good time to try to collect donations for shirts. I know some who help or would donate have been out of work.

Pretty much had that covered already. Maybe $30-$40 short was all, and I hadn't hit Bigretic (Glen Park Izaak Walton) yet

 

[actaeon277]

Actaeon, Dad, and Adam are okay with 25 Jul.
I just put in for a vacation day to hold the date open for me.

I'm waiting on a reply from Pete

 

[repeter1977]

I'm fine with the later date. I'd prefer not to cancel personally but if we are letting less come through, would we need as many volunteers? Also, I'm assuming either bleach wipes or a spray bottle of bleach and towels would be acceptable for wiping down after.
Either way, i should be able to make the date myself.

 

[Ballstater98]

I'm still available.

 

[Audie Murphy]

I'm still available

 

[mmpsteve]

I am still available, as of right now. Let me know as soon as the date is confirmed, so I can get posters and flyers done ASAP.

.

 

[marvin02]

I'm still in. As far as wiping down between shooters, how about having the stuff available and letting each shooter decide for themselves? I understand it's a youth shoot, but by that time I am sure that parents will have drilled their kids on what they think is appropriate.

 

[Audie Murphy]

Do event goers have to sign up for the event again since there is a change of date?

 

[jedi]

Stand by should have answers by the end of week.
We have enough volunteers to run almost all the stations.
Expect for reloading, and the 2nd skeet station.

 

[Tomahawk34]

My Wife and I should be able to make it
