Aug. '09 Indy 1500: General Discussion

[shooter521]

heck we have or own fat boy club on here....

All the... um... husky size shirts sold out in the initial run.

 

[shooter521]

So, when does one go so as to miss the line at the door? I haven't been for a few months.

What day you going? I showed up about an hour after open on Sunday last time, and breezed right in.

I've never sold anything at the 1500 but I might this time... what do you guys recommend for undoing the straps they put on the firearms at the door when you leave the show?

pocket knife...

 

[theweakerbrother]

Anything besides that? I scratched the barrel on an XD once. Oops, it wasn't mine either.

 

[sanscritt]

What's it cost?

I stop at the check-in desk, and make them cut 'em off. They put 'em on there, they can get 'em off.

I believe the price is $10. You can get $1 coupons I guess at some local gun shops. We get our discount from a post card in the mail.

Fenway,
Will you be accepting INGO supporter funds?
I haven't had motivation (or time) to mail anything, but I'll gladly contribute at the show....
-Andy

He has accepted them at all other times so this shouldn't be any different.

How about a pair of cutting pliers?

Surely you carry a pocket knife?

The only time in the last year that I've seen a line is at opening, or on Friday right after work. Give them an hour, and you'll go right in. 10 minutes, tops.

Dang, something just changed for me. If I make it on Fri it won't be for too long, but it will be Fri morning. I'm heading up to MI after all, just riding along with a friend so I don't have to drive. I'll still try to make it though, so I can at least kick in my site supporter money. And maybe pick up some ammo if I find some deals.

Just a note.
The show does not open to the public until 2:00pm Friday.

21st..

We'll be there. I am taking notes on the things people have asked Britton for. Otherwise PM me or him and we'll do our best..

 

[yotewacker]

I'm hoping to get some time and be there.

 

[gunbunnies]

I'll be there saturday,

maybe someone will have small pistol and large rifle primers for less than the cost of a ferrari..... at the prices the few primers in the show were going for last show, I had to start glueing #10 caps into my primer pockets in order to reload anything.......

Look fwd to running into some of you guy's and gal's from Ingo though...

If you want to be super careful.. use some toenail clippers.

If not, be careful using any knife.

Saturday i think.

I may end up having a ride up on Sat instead, so I can make it down to this after all.

 

[Bisley Man]

I'll be there...

...Friday afternoon. Sat. the 29th is our 29th wedding anniversayCan't believe it, it's been 29 years(and 60lbs.) ago that I married a good lookin', blue eyed redhead! (and no, she's NOT looking over my shoulder now)

 

[harleyindys]

we always use a pair of sidecuts to remove straps the safest easiest way not to damage your firearm

 

[TODD1]
