Already signed up and have my brother and niece doing the same. My youngest son may also be joining us. There has been alot of buzz at the range about this, so I expect the line to be full very soon.

See you there!!

Awesome!

So it's official now? (As of the LaCrosse shoot, it was still unconfirmed.) Awesome! I'll endeavor to be there one day, if not both.

I've been posting flyers at everywhere I can (Gander Mt, Coyote Creek G.S, etc) and have at least 3 fam members coming. Kinda surprised there are only 7 pre-registered so far, but it seems to be a pattern that these events don't fill up until the week prior. I still expect to fill the line on this one.

Gonna shoot an AR this time, and went to the range today to adjust the sights. Then shot a few practice AQT's. I'm ready

When do you start setting up? I'd like to lend a hand.

While that is the trend, we cannot afford to rest on this assumption. Are there any local papers or radio stations you can get time on?

I may have a face for radio, but I don't think I'll be doing any interviews. For now, I'll continue to win folks over, one or two at a time.

AFTERMATH · August 04, 2010, 09:20:48 PM

Win them over?

That's what we do once they're there!

Beg, plead, trick them; whatever you have to do.

They'll thank you later.

Actually, Pre-Regs are climbing!
So, you must be doing something right!
Keep on, keeping on!

Tell everyone we're importing a hard-core Wisconsinoisian SB just for this special occasion!
From what I hear, he was assembled of spare parts commandered from Fred's warehouse down in Ramseur.
Specifcally engineered to hammer out Rifleman quicker than the Chinese can make cheap plastic toys.
Boys and Girls, you are in for a treat!

dragonfly · August 17, 2010, 07:24:12 PM

Now pre regs are down to 11

Anyone camping

KOA is 1>2 miles away. Thinking about it vs driving home. Anyone, anyone?

dragonfly · August 17, 2010, 08:11:38 PM

I plan on camping. Actually sleeping in the back of my truck

dragonfly

AFTERMATH · August 17, 2010, 11:19:32 PM

I'm up for camping!

Sparks, you wanna make the arrangements?

russellmn · August 18, 2010, 02:01:52 AM

I'm in for camping!!! I'll probably just use the back of my truck as well...

dragonfly · August 18, 2010, 09:10:12 AM

If your going to the KOA don't forget to put out some flyers

sparks1 · August 18, 2010, 06:53:14 PM

At this point I am not sure about camping...may have to drive home for the night. I can't say for sure yet, and may not know till I call in after the shoot.

VMT sent me a link to a campground nearby...cheaper than KOA. Showers etc. it's a county campground. It's called " Chester Woods Park" Koa is $30. per 2 people for camping. I believe Chester Woods is $18.00.

I've been known to sleep in the VW...ask VMT about Leeds, ND. I got a cooler of ice water dumped on me 'cos I did not stake my tent. Relying on a cooler to hold it in place. Got soaked with ice water early Sunday morning. Gave up and crawled in the the Vdub. Not one of my best moves!

I plan on being at Rochester early with the target backers for VMT...see ya then. How's the student/instructor ratio?

dragonfly · August 19, 2010, 09:09:11 AM

We have plenty of room for walk on's

, so bring friends and neighbor's. 11 pre regs.

and room for 40

vmt193 · August 19, 2010, 02:11:46 PM

I'm REALLY trying to get the wife to attend, but she's still fighting it. I'm not sure we prepare our instructors for a hardcase like her. I haven't had any luck with teaching her to shoot in the last 35 years maybe one you guys can do better.

dragonfly · August 19, 2010, 05:16:35 PM

This would be the one to go to. High instructor to student ratio

. I have been able to talk my wife into 2

(so far) Appleseed's. It is best if another instructor helps her. I think Martin's wife Jo is planning to shoot on Sunday.

AFTERMATH · August 19, 2010, 11:47:15 PM

Still, there's only eleven?

TheDud · August 20, 2010, 01:25:49 AM

Late to the party (I know

) I'm driving down with AFTERMATH, and we're planning on camping. Is there a movement to either the KOA or the county campground? If anyone sees this before tomorrow, give AFTERMATH a call on his cell

russellmn · August 20, 2010, 02:46:36 AM

I'll be sleeping in the back of my truck, Aftermath, gimme a call when you figure out where you're staying, I'll meet ya there.

russellmn · August 20, 2010, 06:36:33 AM

Just checked the weather for this weekend... looks like lows in the 60s, highs in the mid-80s, sunny, 0% chance of rain, light winds both days 7-8mph.
Should be a nice weekend for

I hope to be there both days, and if Jo is there Sunday your wife won't feel completely overwhelmed by the testosterone levels...
