Is there any particular reason for this?  Like the one in 2013 after Sandy Hook or is this just an annual event? I know a lot was going down in VA

I think it might be an annual event. I saw it posted on Facebook and decided I'd go. I usually shoot USPSA at Rio Salado on the 3rd Saturday, but I think I will go to this and check it out.

I went to the 2013 one and there was a pretty big crowd.

May I suggest that in preparation for the SATURDAY 15-Feb rally, you group yourselves into teams of 4 and sign up for the SUNDAY 16-Feb Washington's Birthday Match at Ben Avery... and actually come out a PRACTICE what we all preach, demonstrate the American Citizen's Skill-at Arms!

(advance sign up required at: http://asrpa.com/, sign up as a team is best, but you can sign up as an individual and get squadded at random)

I like the concept. I'm the new kid around here, so please don't take what is intended to be constructive criticism as intentional offense giving.

1 - that website design is painful, and I can say that as the owner of a poorly laid out website. I had to highlight the yellow text to read it, yellow on white is terrible contrast and hard to read

2 - the event format doesn't appeal to me a bit, and while it may be a great introduction to long guns, it doesn't exactly inspire "greatest match in the United States" status in my mind

1) AGREE
2) come out and try it anyway!

Arizona's WBM is the longest continuously running annual rifle match in America. 1893 was the first year. 180 shooters
The National Trophy Matches (now run by CMP) at Camp Perry every summer since 1907 is the GREATEST rifle match in America. 1100 shooters.
WBM uses the National Match Course of fire, very similar, but more beginner-friendly, than Camp Perry.

I just looked and it looks like AZCDL will be at this rally, I assume signing people up for memberships.  So if anyone is going and NOT a member of the AZCDL (you should be), I will pay for your membership.  Shoot me an IM and I'll give you my phone number.  We'll meet up at the AZCDL booth at the rally and I'll pay for your basic annual membership.  (Only up to 5 people, I'm poor.)

And no, I won't just hand you the cash, I want to make sure it's actually going toward the AZCDL membership.

Damn, that's nice of you! So no excuse for 5 people out there!

I'll extend the only thing I can offer (mind out of the gutter fellas!), which is a ride. If you are nw valley or west valley somewhat near the 303 or 101 and can't get there or will miss out because you don't have a ride, I'll scoop you up. I can possibly extend it to people who have gas guzzlers as well, if no one hits me up that doesn't have a ride, since I have a tactical prius.

I'd like to go if a group of  us can agree on a time/place to park and meetup.  This event does not have the potential unknown dangers we had going to Lobby Day, but being in a group and looking out for each other is just a good way to operate.  Plus it would help in getting us more organized and be able to coordinate like the Arfcommers did for Lobby Day.  I know we won't have the number of Arfcommmers that attended Lobby Day, but even having groups of four or more would be better than just going alone.

I have not been to this 2A rally in Phoenix before, so I have no idea how many people will be there and what the parking situation will be.  If you look at the map which is about half way down on the linked page, it has parking right across the street from the event on 17th Ave., but I imagine to park there we would have to get there very, very early.

I'm thinking if we met up at 0930 at the parking lot at 19th Ave. and Jefferson, we should find enough parking places to meetup at, but can't say for sure.  
If not there are other parking lots by some of the other AZ government buildings that are close by and I think might be open on the weekend, hopefully someone here can give us that info.

Let us know what you think, I plan to carry an AR if we can get a group together.

I don't think we've established that... . @nvgeologist is one of them but he is going to have a booth and will likely be in one spot most if not all of the day.

Here's an idea: Those of us that can should try to park in and meet at the Capitol parking lot at 19th and Jefferson per @HotDesert 's suggestion at 9:30. If @wingnutx and his group are good with it, we could combine the groups at the St. Luke statue around 9:45. If for some reason they have something else going on, we can consider the parking lot to be the gathering point.

I talked with a guy from the AZCDL and he said there are usually several hundred people at this rally, but this year it could be bigger with all the gun control issues going on.  He suggested that if we want to park and meet in the same spot that it would probably be a good idea to get there at 0900 which is fine with me.  We could still meet at 19th & Jefferson, or we could meet up in the parking lot behind the AZ Dept. of Agriculture  at 17th Ave. and Adams, as that would be a closer walk and give us more ways in and out.  I'm attaching a pic, let me know if you can view it okay, and if this time/place works.

Anyone who wants to IM me there contact info, I will do the same so we can coordinate.  I'll just be in regular clothes with an AR.

Great, see you at 0900 at the 17th Ave. and Adams parking lot this Saturday.  We have one more so far joining us.  Might not be wearing a Hawaiian shirt as it is still going to be a little chilly in the morning, if not I'll probably bring one and hang it on my car for Arf ID.

I'm gonna try getting there early, was thinking of wearing a plate carrier, but am going to be doing filming/recording for my small youtube channel, so probably going lighter to carry equipment and not get fatigued. I will probably try parking a little closer, but will try to meet you guys at that parking lot still. I'll be wearing my azcdl shirt and concealed carrying.
