Always up for a HTF gathering/shoot/whatever. I'd also still like to try and put together a Wild Bunch/Bloody porch shoot. Needs some discussion still so a gathering would be a good time for that too.

Septic is a one-man shop and stays very busy with the shop and his family. He will stop in when he gets a chance. |

If it's a range day and I have the day off, I'll bring a .45-70 Contender for people to try. Yeah, it's a handful.

I may or may not be in Iowa at that point anyways, but as gracious as Septic is/was to have us, it's got to be a TON of work for him and puts his family out to a degree, etc.
Always thought it would be neat to rent a bay @ Brownell's, but I assume we need some sort of structure/hookup to do that, but... I think Septic knows a guy

if we wanted to hold this at a range bay over at big springs, i'm not sure how that would work. i'm unclear on whether there has to be an 'organizer' with over reaching umbrella insurance liability or what. i'll check into that.
i'd have no trouble hosting if that's what you guys want. all i can tell you is two things need to be understood. 1, i'll have to made the date work with my home/shop schedule, which is likely a saturday. sorry boys. i like you, but i like church on sunday too, so i don't like to miss it. 2, if there was a bit of help in terms of set up, that'd go a long way. i can get the shop cleaned up to accommodate people. i have a pop up canopy or two if we need it. i have a 50yd earth berm range with gravel in 1/2 of it. i have a pond people can shoot over to the other side or use for shotgunning. hell, you can go fishing on my dock if you want. the pond needs it. it's been stocked for years, so there are plenty of fish to catch. large mouth, smallies, perch, bluegill, hybrids blue gills, catfish, etc. in times past, we've done kind of a potluck thing. i have a couple weber 22" kettles and a ceramic egg smoker, so we can do some damage there too. i'll do some checking on the big springs option and holler back. or we can do it here if you guys would like. up to you. -michael |

I'm in, 99% guaranteed.
I've looked into renting out some stuff at Big Springs before, and it was affordable then and not much hassle then. But this was like 4 years ago, so I have no idea what it is like now. If Septic will host it, I'll promise a couple hours of labor to set up and/or tear down or other bitch duties. Who else will promise at least 2 hours of labor to help him out? As a side note, I think maybe we should try to do an alternate socializing date to, to link up with folks like Slims that work for a living. Maybe have a late lunch on a Sunday somewhere sometime soon.

29 JUNE. That's the date. The War Dept signed off on this early AM.
I'm doing a bunch of lawn care, tree trimming, work around the pond, etc. Mostly busy body stuff that'll need to be done prior. Just appearance stuff that wifey gets all worked up about. Beyond that, targets, their set up and tear down, canopies before and after, any food that needs to be grilled in preparation, etc. will all need a few extra hands. If someone brings tarps and the likes so empty brass is easy to police, that helps. You know, that kind of thing... As we move closer people will have to holler about what they may need grill space for, etc. I have two 22" weber kettles and one ceramic egg smoker. Surely that'll get us started. A couple large coolers, etc. 40acres of bathroom. You know, the basics. Side note - As for slims and another date/time... Why don't we reinstitute the famous arfcom raffle after a gun show some time? We used to do some of that back in the day. Looks like our moderator would get off his ass and do that shit. After all, he gets the big bucks to do that kind of thing, right? |

I am just sitting on my ass counting my big bucks when I thought I would check in on the IA HTF...I think gun shows are over for the summer so no raffles until fall. ??
Possibility of a different kind of raffle later this summer or early fall...more to follow. ?? ?? ?? ?? |
