There were just so many people to meet. I was there and I missed a bunch of people, but I also met a great bunch of others too.
Look at it as an excuse to go next year. I will actually have to drive from atlanta next year, but I have 4 friends that want to go now that the pics and movies are up. 11 hrs isint too bad. |

I am not the most outgoing kind of guy in person but I do enjoy meeting others. I guess you could say I am a bit of an introvert. In any case, next year I am going to have a T-shirt made up with my name on it in the hopes that others members will recognize me and stop to say Hi.

Hell, I had the oposite problem, everyone seamed to know whop I was and just thought that I knew who they were. People were talking to me like they had been my best friend for years, knew me as Ober, all the while, I didn't have a clue who the hell 90% of you were. I know I should have asked, but I was having a bad day and didn't want to look stupid!
Everyone there was really nice and friendly, my hats off to all of you....who ever you were. |

I thought you were going to apologize for firing that 30 cal over the berm. [:D]
I'm an introvert too. I can't just walk up to someone and introduce myself. If someone else does it I'm fine. Next time, I'm wearing a name tag too. |

Wished I could have made it. Was off work with my bad back when the schedule requests had to be in. Grrrrr....I'll be there next year. Maybe we could wear name tags or something. Last year Lumpy 223 was nice enough to let me use his tent for awhile. next year.....

Sorry to hear you couldn't make it, Brother Bill. I'm not sure how I am going to adjust to going back to semi-auto. After Bulletfest, $8000 for an M16 doesn't sound too outlandish. |

TomJefferson and greenhorn, BOTH OF YOU WERE PEOPLE WHO I WAS HOPING TO GET A CHANCE TO MEET AT BULLETFEST!
Especially you greenhorn. You're a LOCAL GUY who lives 20 minutes from me for chrissakes. Seriously though, between all the stuff going on, hanging with old friends, making food, camp, etc... there's so much going on, it's actually pretty difficult to track down and meet everyone. I'll get to all of you sometime or another though. Hell, maybe I will take 2 months off work and just drive around the country meeting gun people. |

Next time, I'm wearing a name tag too. Nah, not me. I'm one of those strange people that is obsessed with having to know where his bullets lands. Don't get me wrong, I had one hell of a great time and everyone I did meet was great including Campy's buddy with the mortor. He said he hangs at Subguns.com. Damn that thing was cool. 3oz of black powder would shoot a soup can of concrete just like a mortor shell. He knew what he was doing too for he was on target with the third round. Had to really go high to hit so close. The experience was the highlight of Billy's summer for like me he was firing at the van when it went up. He kept saying "I helped." and "Cooool!". |

Yeah, sorry I didn't meet you, BenDover. I don't really know why I didn't.
Hey, if I ever get my car fixed we could go to the Middletown Sportsman club. I have a guest membership. The bent alignment rod is fixed, but now the transmission is shot. It only drives in reverse. |

That morter was a great little toy.. wonder if I could mount on in the hatch of the Mustang, turn it into mini pickup [:D]
TJ was good meeting you and your son, and teaching me how to work the stripper clips. Maybe the SW Ohio crew would want to get together some time at Fairfield Sportsmen's club? Probably enough folks here are members to get around the 2 guests/member limit. |

I too was guilty of not talking to too many people. I don't think I talked to anyone from here. Although that would have made the drive home that much worse since I was making it a one day trip, and I am sure you guys would not have been able to get me to shut up. It is hard to get me going, but I wont stop.
After seeing the Minigun, I cant wait until next year. |

For those of you who were there but did not get to meet me,I was behind CAMPY with a camo orange hat and an orange vest during the safety orientation.
QCMGR,you were easy to recognize with your cav hat.Nice meeting you.Too bad you had to leave before the festivities started that night! |

Next time I plan on spending more time. I really regret not being able to stay Saturday night. Now I understand how James Lovell must have felt on Apollo 13 having travelled all that way just to have to turn around and go home. |

You were in a hurry but shook my hand and said great to meet you, Tj. It was when I was buying T shirts and just before the first shoot. Nice to know I blend in. Could come in handy SHTF [:D] |

Tj earlier post:Damn that thing was cool. 3oz of black powder would shoot a soup can of concrete just like a mortor shell. He knew what he was doing too for he was on target with the third round. Had to really go high to hit so close. He fired around a dozen rounds before I left. Everytime he did I would stop and follow the round. When it hit the ground you could hear the thud as it hit the ground over the machine gun fire. Really nice toy and not regulated as a weapon using powder and soup cans. He knew what he was doing and I'd sure hate to hit a house or a car with that thing by accident. Rot, Yep, the T's were going fast that's why I jumped in when I did plus it was about time to open up and I didn't have a spot. Good time with good people for sure. This one guy beside me had an full auto Uzi with silencer. It would go pmmmffffffffft and he would change the mag. Cool. |
