I've got an idea......been thinking again.......
« on: August 04, 2007, 04:43:43 PM »
I had two of my customers send me money and they added some extra to the bill, as I'm trying to do this as a non profit type thing it leaves me with some extra in my pocket I have to get rid of, the local community center has a full size basket ball court that would be great for an in door shoot, I'd have to make a pellet trap and stuff but it would be fun for us to get together if possible. Just wondering if anyone would be interested in coming to Iowa and having a fun shoot and talking over air guns........don't have all the logistics figured yet but can do that easily, plently of motel rooms if we don't have over 100 people show up.......give me your thoughts.....Mike
PS. there will be a raffle for a QB-78 if this comes off..............

Mike that sounds like a great idea, for me it would depend on when and what you can work out.



If my Mapsource is correct, your about a 500 mile drive.

have only been to Keokuk, which is barely in Iowa at all...suspect the rest of the state would have a differnt "flavor".  Doubt i can get away, but would love to toss a couple of QB's in the Jeep and rolll on up.

Hey, Mike, Chrissy and I have warned you about thinking , especially at your age;)


Seriously, I cant find a road map that'll get us there but if it comes off we will be there in spirit at least.
We wish you all well with this, hope it works out
