Thinking about putting a GTA air gun (GET TOGETHER) together

[shadow]

Just spoke with Gene for the first time,great guy! truly a fountain of info and someone that I think of as a friend. Anyway we were tossing about getting us all together for a shoot for fun/ meet your airgun buddy's/ have a blast time tourny. We could set up a location, state which would be home base for the get together.ALL MEMBERS AND FAMILY, FRIENDS would be welcome. Just some addict's getting together trading info shooting and having a GTA great time. Any and all idea's are welcome, may have to travel alittle but I think it would be great to meet fellow members.Something were tossing about, what do you think guy's.? DANO you can bring your green army men too hehe. Ed

sounds fun. not sure how far I be willing to travel.  south dakota's probably bearable in june/july!!

We are not set on any place yet, but we are open for ALL suggestions. Ed

If anyone's got a great location in mind that we can shoot and not get hauled off and have the run of the place, any info is great. Something to think over,mid summer etc.. Thanks ed

For sure a GTA Forum get together shoot for fun would be fantastic. Wives could come and see that there husbands are not the only one's afflicted with these air guns...  I think we have allot of members living all over the states, and would not be to hard to find a central location for the meet. A three day weekend would probably be best for most of ya that have to work to pay for air guns...

Anyway, as Ed has suggested, toss it around and lets see how many bites we get on Ed's thread. Oh, and by the way, Ed is great guy and I really enjoyed chewing the fat wiff him...

Count me in.  Funny thing, my wife recently suggested something similar, but on a smaller scale.  I'm in central Washington state, so would have one of the longer treks, but I think I could make something happen.  Later.

Even thought I may not be able to make it, it's a great idea.
Perhaps it could be held on a Holiday weekend where most folks get a 3- 4 day weekend.

I suppose I could make it if it were in Greenville or Anderson county in South Carolina.  Anything beyond that I'd need a passport....lol...

 That does sound like a good idea though. A central location would be the biggest issue and we have members in every state (and many other countries also but doubt that would matter). I suppose that it would be determined by how many would actually consider it and go and then try to find a location that would be fairly central to all.

 Where ever it might be, I just hope the host's house will be big enough to accommodate everyone and also have a good shooting area. Hey Robert (txairgunner)...are ya hearin' us? :p  Have ya still got the air gun club house down there in Kermit?  Ya keep on tellin' me to "come on down".

Just think....Rattlesnake hotdogs and Jackrabbit hamburgers along with some of the high grade cactus juice. Now there's a host.

Were getting some good idea's here guy's. Holiday weekend, not bad. If we could find a central hub of sort's because I realize some would have some traveling a head of them. I've lived in Fenton, MI. to the east and Toledo WA.to the west so I've almost been from one end to the other, my gypsy days when I was younger hehe. I know traveling time can kill ya and if anyone knows of a location, even in their home state were we could set up our air rifle woodstock, drop a thread. We would have to be able to shoot etc. without any problems. I have no problem traveling myself, got some vacation time coming up and would be jazzed to meet some fellow members. Ed

Bob great idea, lot of wide open spaces in texas, txairgunner how about a airgun woodstock.  Ed

[DanoInTx]

I could make it to Kermit.....I guess:)

You gess  If we could set something up with txairgunner that would nice. Ed

I think a get together would be great, but Texas would be to much of a haul for me (Even though I love Texas!). If its closer I probably could make it. I'll keep an eye on this thread, thats for sure!

Hehe, no-one really loves texas, not in Summer at least....or in Winter...Fall isn't bad, except for the ice storms and 100F days...Spring is good.....oh, but then there ARE those tornados in the Spring........

Really I think what it would come down to is finding someone with a chunk of land to sponsor an event, not everyone is going to want to do that, even if they have the land(insurance reasons, etc...).  It sounds like the Kermit folk are already set up, and already hosting an event, we'd just have to pay and show up?
