Shhhh, don't wake any of them up EEL, but it looks like the coast is clear for that midnight requisition of that particular Wisconsin range they forgot all about.... >:D
I guess yoos guys might as well take it over :-[ :-[ WITH LESS THAN ONE MONTH TO GO, 0 PRE REGS FOR RACINE!!!!!!!!! :wb:
Coly, Coly, Coly......You think we are talkin about Racine ? ? Oh no my friend. This is yet another range in WI that we are scheming to annex into Illinois. ^:)^ ^:)^
Look here for more info tomorrow. I'd spill the beans to you...but G69 says he knows where I live. Not sure what that means exactly, but it has a rather ominous sound to it. **)
Racine..0 pre-regs? What is that all about? Do we need to cut WSMR short and bring some flatlanders with us? We handed out a boatload of "neighboring Fliers" at the gun show Sunday. Quite a few folks there from the Norther suburbs. Hopefully, they will sign up.
Gotta go update our neighboring flier. I see the Bristol dates are on your flier. Nice work. O0

Well..................The double double secret, covert, incursion inside the Cheddar Curtain is complete. Turns out, y'all didn't miss much. :'(
Twin Lakes Sportsmen's club wants to do Appleseed events. ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^ Whoa !!!!! Yeah, but they want them as a CLOSED event. That's to say, for their members only. :wall: :wb: !@#)
That one caught me a bit off guard. Told 'em I think we could do 1 and see how it went. Further, I would have to confirm w/ the powers that be. Advised that we have never, to my knowledge, done a "closed" AS, save the ones for the military. Answered several questions from the group (25 ish) and handed out literature and some targets (Redcoats & AQTs).
They are gonna discuss it as a Board and get back to us.
Coly, left a msg on your phone. Tx me when you can.

coly has lost his cell phone and tx privileges. :wall: :wb: @&)

I remember Racine, last year at about that time....
The weather was spectacular. Here I made my midnight ride with all my winter gear filling my entire car.(I think it's still in there...)
I get there. No snow. No ice. No mud. Hot sun. I think I got sunburn.
Seemed to be the perfect combination, 'cause I walked away with a new piece of OD green material to attach to my jacket.
Ahh.... Good times....
As far as 'closed' shoots go; I'd say if they can fill it: Why not?
But I'd want to get a guarentee... &)
Sorry to butt in here, but I can't help but notice the consideration of a 'closed' event- an event that is open only to members of the club.
I would personally allow this only under two circumstances:
1: that there be a minimum number of attendees required, each paying their way- NO FREE RIDES for a 'closed' event.
2: that the range officers be willing to offer a Yes/No vote on future "Open-to-the-public" events at the conclusion (within a week) of this private event.
I bristle at the idea that a range would think itself so superior to the public-at-large that they would force a volunteer group of instructors to teach THEM, and ONLY THEM, how to shoot a rifle before the general public has an opportunity. I would work diligently to find a land owner in the area willing to host an appleseed.. A lot less hassle, and a far better mind-set, I'm sure.
EEl and I talked today and basically decided to forgo the closed event. We have a range and a AS at Bristol right down the road from them, and they will be encouraged to attend the AS there.
