Jake

In, last year was great fun.



And I won some cool stuff!

I'm not blowing up any more baloons.

LOL, Dave you were a tremendous help last year, ok, no more ballons for you..........

I'm a HTF lurker and was hoping someone could post or PM some more details as to what range/time/etc. Thanks!

Id like to know as well, I should be around on 07July.

Same here.

It's on private property, Forrest's parents, near Milan.

IIRC, the 'range' opened about 1100 last year.

A good time was had by all!!  

I'm In.

I will be there. The York township meeting after last years was fun too.

That date does work for me.

It's not ideal for me either.  I could try and make it work, but that's probably in the middle of vacation.

The Founding Father's Thank You for your support!

I was unable to make it last year, so I plan on being there this year! This looked like it was an awesome event last year!

IWBT!

I'm guessing since it will be my wife's 50th birthday that there will be something else I will have to do that day.

Bummer.

Raffi

I hope my Form 4 for the M2 carbine is back by then!  

Hell YES!

OST

My family & I had a blast last year!  I am hoping to make it this year as well.  I won't know till after May if my vacation time for summer is approved or not.

I'll have to double-check, but I think I'm going to be at Silver Lake abusing my truck that whole week.

I'll be in Napa Valley for a wedding and wine.  For real.

Can anyone give me the details?

Thanks!

I'm sure Forrest will post the address again when it gets closer.

You're lucky I that weekend works for me or else you would have to reschedule!

I'M THERE!!!!

I've stated another stockpile of 55gal drums if we need some more.  
And I'll keep my sunday free as well to help with clean up!

Pass the word along to other firearms junkies you know, If you attended in 2011, you know that 2012 will be bigger and better than last year!!!!!

link to archived thread about volunteers for 2012 - here

an some one find the archived 2012 HTF range day thread and re post some pictures in this thread?

thx, forrest -

I think all pics are on p. 14&15


And there are links to more.

Me and the wife are thinking of coming over.

If my Form-4's for my suppressors come in by then, that would help.

This is a lot closer that the HTF get together at Nichola's

i moved the pics in my photo bucket around so the pics in my thread from last year arent showing up but here is a link to my photobucket for anyone that is interested

I really hope I can get the day off this year.  I'll volunteer my first aid kit again this year.  Nate will have to bring it with him though.....

Thayrone X (WAMM 1600 am, On the Edge) said this sounds like his kind of shoot!

Guys, I am calling for volenteers to take over the coordination and administration for this years event. As much as I would like to do it again, I just will not have the time that this event needs and deserves, between my 3 jobs and two children, I just have to admit that I can't do it all this year. I will get you guys up and running, and be there to for you guys to offer advise, from last years experience.

I have secured the dates and a  larger location, this event is going to happen, but it cant happen with out the effort from those of you who want it to happen. I have the guys from the Gun Barn 2 tactical on board this year, so lets make this event bigger and better than 2011.

we need -

event coordinator -  who can actually put the time in to administer a safe, and fun event.
support staff - assist the coordinator in coordination and task performance.
food and lodging
prizes and shwag procurement committee - this is a big one! to get started on ASAP, we need to compose a generic but personalized email to send out to site sponsers and other manufacturers and retailers. this will be a large responsibility with somewhere between 100 and up emails going out and managing follow-up communications. the email should include a link to the article that made google news last year, and a list of sponsers from last years event, and a link to the archived thread from after last years event with all of the pictures and feed back from attendees. any other ideas are most appreciated...........
RSO coordinator and rso's
local law enforcement contact so they are not suprised when the sound of freedom cuts loose bigtime!!!
Waivers -
I have entry/safetybrief wirst bands left over from last year.
we will have to charge for entry for this year to pay for the range rental / camping, and other expenses..........($500- for the whole range for the weekend) I am thinking $10/ person, (kids 12 and under free), and $10 for camping, (rustic).
sign-in sheet and personel to mann the entrance and handle the paperwork and accounting
food, grills and cooks, and everything that goes with it.......
set-up and clean up crews.
we want to have one range set-up as an IDPA-type big stage, all day, with prizes..................

more............

any of you who want to give your time please share it here, this our event. add to this post ......................

forrest -

this is just the BBQ and food table from 2011.................

I am in for a prize donation of certificats for firearms training classes to award..............

we should keep a running list of prizes and the vendors and manufactures who we need to thank directly after the event.

Patriot Defense Training LLC.

I'm in for set up/clean up. and any other scut work needed.   I did sign in and waiver collection for a 300 person event last year so I could probably help with that as well.

Hi Guys, Fairly New Here So Whats All This About? Looks Fun From What I See In The Pic's! Can Anyone Come Or Is This A Private Party? If Anyone Can Come Is there Any Fee's? Location? Date And Time? I've Been Looking For Some Good Shooting Get Together's Around Michigan Please Let Me Know! Thanks

Liberty Defense is on board to donate some edged weapons and ground survival classes.

definitely looking forward to some more information

Thanks Keith, You guys Rock!!!!

Can jot me down as a set up/tear down volunteer

are you still wanting to do a raffle like last year or just winning prizes via the IDPA stage?? also if who ever drafts the email to distribute to industry partners could make it available to everyone to send out and then copy the "designated" prize person that would be great. also if I have the weekend off I can handle photo / medical duties again like last year. industrial rescue has also offered to perform medical duties as well as bring some binary targets.

I am fairly new to this forum too! and the AR/M4 (but not guns or shooting, been doing it my whole life) and I went through all of the threads from last year and looks like a Great! time with Great! people. I have some blue barrels I can contribute and venison front shoulder, burger and hopefully some wild turkey! and some whole chickens (raised by a friend) for grills. Said friend has a farm around Chelsea-Manchester area where I often deeer hunt and can stay so, could help with set-up and clean-up. I'll sticky this thread to check for updates.

I'll RSO again if I can get the day off.  I won't know till next month.

I plan to attend. I live in the Ann Arbor area. I should be able to help some because I have the week off befor the shoot.
