[FEELER 2] June 2013 Youth Day @ Winamac DNR Range

I won't be able to make it then.

Think of the children... the children.

Updated OP with last reply from DNR.
They have enough shotguns youth 20g so we just need manpower and supplies (ammo and clay piegons) for the trap area.

So.....lots of info to go through, but i can donate 3 boxes of clay targets. I also have an Ar with scope mount, takes about 30 secs to put iron sights on so whichever is needed.

I also have a caldwell forward rest in case the ar is too heavy for the little ones. I assume we'll be at a shooting bench??? I could probably only give 50 rds of .223 to the cause due to price and availability.

Great!

Yes the kids will be shooting from the benches either with with help (bench rest) or by holding it themselves (depending on size). I need to make the official thread in the events channel and start putting the list together of what we have coming.

I don't remember if I said anything about the m&p15-22 in addition to my 10/22.
I can bring a .223 ar also if we're doing that. Just my opinion, but when I teach the scouts, I save the bigger stuff for later in the day. They are excited and nervous enough in the beginning. After the get calmed down and ok with it, then I introduce bigger cartridges.

Jedi,

Just a correction, both of my 10/22 rifles have scopes. But if you want I can remove the scopes. You have them listed in the IRON SIGHTS area, but both are currently sporting scopes.

ALSO a SUGGESTION: I would limit all the 22 caliber rifles to 10/22 guns. That would make instruction easier as all will be the same.

AS FOR SHOTGUNS: If we are going to do that then its possible I could bring out and O/U 20 gauge shotgun, some 20 gauge ammo, a clays thrower, and a case of clays. I'm just not sure about splitting my guns on two ranges with me only being on one of those ranges.

I have several Clay throwers, both hand throwers and a foot operated one. I would love to lend them to the event.

Now go vote for your favorite NWI gun shop.

Also I'll talk to Les and see if we can't get a few boxes of clays donated to the event.

OK let me get the offical post going in a few days and ya can list what you have coming in the correct configuration.

Agree that we can start everyone off on 10/22s in .22 to make it easier and then branch off to .223, .30 carbine, etc for the bigger stuff as WINAMAC DNR wants them to try the other stuff as well.

In terms of SGs we don't have to worry WINAMAC DNR said they have enough SGs to handle that portion. We just need to supply the manpower, ammo and clay/throwers.

Also I'll talk to Les and see if we can't get a few boxes of clays donated to the event.

Thanks who is Les?
