2009 INGO Family Picnic @ ECPR 6/27/09: Planning Phase

[SavageEagle]

Hey Roger, instead of +3 put me down for +5 since I'm still working on a babysitter for the little ones. If I end up showing up with just me and Natalie it won't seem as bad.

 

[cavemike]

I will make it. Probably with my wife and son.

 

[RogerB]

OP updated with latest updates....parking may be an issue but we do have the bark park parking area as well as along the road for parking over flow.

 

[Archbishop]

I'm interested Not sure if it will be just me and the wife or our kids too. (Three kids if they come.)

 

[hotfarmboy1]

I'm sure I can make it. I'll make sure a couple other buddies that are on here but don't come on too often know and try to get them to come. Plus prob have at least one other friend as well.

OP has been updated....

After re-visiting ECPR yesterday, I strongly recommend that everyone bring their own seating. There are a few picnic tables available, but not enough to accomodate everyone on the RSVP list.

So just some reminders:

1. Bring something to sit on.
2. This is a bring your own lunch get together. If you want to bring more thats up to you.
3. This probably goes without saying, but I'm saying it anyway....Lets be sure to leave the range and surrounding area better than the way we found it.

Thanks,
RogerB

Roger (maybe Pami?)

The calendar listing needs to be updated. It still makes it sound as if it's a potluck kinda thing..

Just FYI..

Hmm...this is very nearby me and seems like it would be an interesting event for one to introduce himself and try out a few new weapons. I am sure this was brought up in the 24 previous pages but I don't have the time to flip through them all right now but is it kosher for someone relatively new to the forums to attend and try out some weapons belonging to others? I am not sure how some would react to (to them) a random person firing their weapons; I am sure some would be ok and others not so ok with it. The person in question would supply his own ammunition/reimburse for any ammo of calibers he didn't bring and would be greatly thankful.

edit - just noticed the other thread of the picnic gun list, and seems like my question about using other guns got answered there; some were quite alright with it so can I RSVP?

 

[Bubbajms]

RSVP Away!!

As most say, I don't mind somebody trying my firearms, and I'll even clean them - you just bring your own ammo!!

 

[RogerB]

gotcha down, Thanks!

Ok that is good to know that there are more than a couple people who are so willing to allow relatively unknown people (unknown to them, that is) use their weapons. I am going to head over to the other thread listing the guns that some are bringing and probably get a box of 2 or 3 pistol calibers. I am SURE my dad has some .22LR ammo sitting around that he has zero use for that I can get for free. And just because you're friendly enough to respond to me Bubba, what are you planning on bringing? I would really like to try a .40S&W before I consider buying one and I am assuming by your sig that you (may) have some guns in .40S&W? I don't want to go out and buy ammo for guns without OKing it with those whose weapons I'd potentially use.

edit - tommy, thank you for that PM; I would have replied via PM but I don't have 10 posts yet

Turtle06,

If you have extra ammo at the end of the day, I am sure you can sell it off to someone at the picnic.


I will have with me:

Ruger MKIII
Beretta PX4 in 9mm
XD45 compact

same offer as well. Anyone can shoot, just supply the ammo(factory no reloads)

That thought had crossed my mind both ways; maybe someone there would perhaps have some ammo they didn't use for me to take off their hands.

Steve told me about this event last Sunday. Guess I should read the sight more closely. I wouldn't miss this for anything! I will work on getting Eric's older brother, Jeff, to come too. I know he loves to shoot but don't know his family schedule. This will be a big shooting month for me as I am planning on working the GSSF match the following weekend. That was another thing Eric and I always did together
I'll bring some things from the Rader collection. Maybe the CZ97 set up for 45 Super, the CZ52 or something else interesting. Don't mind sharing but donations towards reloading supplies would be nice.

 

[in_betts]

RogerB--Add me to the list please +1. Hoping for a great day!

 

[turnandshoot4]

If anyone is in the NWI area and wants to carpool in a non smoking car I am up for it. PM me and we can ride together.

 

[RogerB]

jimbo-indy and in_betts gotcha both down, Thanks!

 

[tyler34]

I have a 12'x12' pop up shelter if we need it.
