Genuinely curious. This is your arena. Tell me what you want, like, dislike, etc.
I want people to want to be here vs social media. They actually give a shit about us here. |

A mobile app would be great, we seem to be on the right track with trying to have more htf get togethers
|
|
Definitely more HTF shoots and general get togethers....fuckwit. ??
|
|
I'll never call you a fuckwit...
Things seem to be on track here. I've been bitching about ARFCOM getting a mobile app for a long time - or at least switch to something that will run on Tapatalk. The meetups seem to be picking up. I'm on a hiatus until CWSE. |
|
I'd like to see more meetups (meaning I'll have to organize one or a regular one). I love driving to Emu's place, but would also like some from friends closer.
Whos in Newnan/Peachtree city and would be down for a monthly beer/wings/pizza type of deal? |

Been a long time since I've seen one besides @Rock6 doing something like that in the Augusta area. If y'all set them up I'll pin the threads at the top of the forum. |

The shoots are awesome.
Emus place is available most of the time if someone wants to organize an event. |

Heck, we travel around GA enough, I wouldn't mind going to Atlanta, northern GA, or elsewhere once in a while. I also see the HTF as almost an old-school bulletin board. Pointing to something in the EE (selling or looking for), highlighting local events, looking for a local carpenter, plumber, gunsmith, the ammo sale at Cabelas where 1000K of 9mm brass FMC is on sale for $200, etc. Maybe just do a monthly or quarterly update? I like the idea. ROCK6 |

I'll get with you when time comes closer since you've already done one in your area. Same goes for anyone else who wants to plan anything, at any point. I'm here to help. |

I dont know honestly, this place has died a slow death as all the fun has moved into other areas of the internet. You'd almost have to drum up fresh blood to breath new life.
|
|
|
This place is hopping compared to where I came from. Sadly, the OKhtf is where crickets go to die.
I don't really have any good suggestions other than more shoots (hopefully when ammo prices balance out). We're pretty limited to distance traveled at the moment but if we can source a more reliable vehicle that will change. I have no idea what you guys do for fun around here. |
|
Titty's would be a good start.
Free beer, BBQ, and cheese dip wouldn't be turned down. Let me think I'll have more ideas soon. |

Quoted: A mobile app would be great, we seem to be on the right track with trying to have more htf get togethers View Quote General consensus is no app, use mobile version on your browser. Also, it's pretty likely an app would be kicked out of the Google Play store and iTunes. That's the answer I got. |

Didn't there used to be a GA specific EE linked to the HTF? I understand the no sales restriction in the forums as an Industry partner......but I have lots of stuff I'd offer to guys in the HTF that I don't feel like packing and shipping if it were in the forum wide HTF. I know I CAN post stuff for sale as paid advertiser, but I don't as it might lead new folks to do the same and get their pee pee slapped

This is more because I don't know the area but it could be beneficial to everyone...
How about a section where people recommend restaurants, bars or anything entertainment related in their areas. Places they have been to and can personally recommend to others who may be visiting that area? |

During the current ammo/reloading shortages, maybe a tacked thread of local deals? Most of the big online retailers are hit by bots so they are no bueno, but local shops typically don’t ship so they are a safer bet for in stock items.
Organized group meetups, obviously. Perhaps some targeted for learning tips and tricks for reloading/precision shooting and pistol techniques. |

I figured the mobile app was wishful thinking, I wonder if it could work with tapatalk?

We had shoots at John's mountain in the past. We also had meet and greats for Mexican and Pizza and other such things

LOL, I guess the right parlor can fall into the entertainment category.

Maybe a swap meet would work? |
|
A swap meet combined with a shoot seems like a good idea. People hang around a shoot most of the day(ie Red Hill), in my experience, compared to a casual swap meet only, where they arrive empty handed, look once & leave.
I'm here for the local culture. Hard to meet like minded people otherwise. Hanging around MadMachinist does have it's networking perks! |

View Quote The last few shoots I organized (been a few years now) we told everyone to bring their junk to buy/sell/trade but very few brought anything with them. I'd say anyone/everyone should plan to do so at whatever event they go to. Nothing wrong with a little commerce amongst friends. |
|
The shoot/swap meet is a cool idea. Almost everyone has a bin of stuff they don't use.
|
|
I've hosted a eat and greet here at the farm in the past. I could do another and offer a organized small shoot. You gotta got what you aim at. Short distance. Hand grenade friendly.

As far as I'm concerned, a swap meet / shoot is an ideal combination. Anyone who cares to organize such a thing at the Angry Emu Range has my blessing, as well as my deepest encouragement. The Angry Emu Range is a place built by, and for, the GA HTF. SouthernCross and I discussed it as he stated, several posts above. As far as I'm concerned, the range is underutilized currently. Anyone who wants to organize any sort of shoot / etc., need only contact me so I can say YES! I'm all about this place being the HTF's Shooting Mecca. I would hope that all of you would consider this to be your home away from home, and a spot that considers the 2A to be an involite right, to be exercised here as often as you can afford!
Looking forward to many more 2 guns, and as many more other Shoots as we can organize!!! Simply IM me to get the ball rolling! |

Some more .22 shoots would be great...... I like winning things.

Speaking of Emus... I was thinking of going down and shooting some time this weekend (pending he's okay with it). If anyone wants to meet up feel free to reply here or PM. Me and my buddy with our ladies most likely. It would be nice to meet some of you IRL.
