NWI INGO General Post - Part 22 - Racoon Pets, Sadclowns Kids, and golf carts

[Timjoebillybob]

We are literally starting over.

And jedi is now older and has more real world stress then 8-10 years ago when we started this (doing meet and shoots, meeting with dnr, etc...)

Is it worth it (rethorial question)?

Have a question, do you know if the decision to cancel was from the COs at Winamac or did it come from higher up?

 

[jedi]

If you got out of Chiraq, you'd definitely have less stress

Perhaps..
Sadly it seems Ike the timely may be off.

Winamac property manager, his assistant property manager and the office admin for winamac had a local discussion and felt it was best to not move forward with a partial event.

One injury transported to a trauma center by Lutheran Air Helicopter. Talk about some bad luck.

Happened to my sister back in around 89-90. Driving down Fairview in Lake Station. Luckily it hit the back passenger area of the car

Freak things happen like that. Just never know. I had a buddy a long time ago that used to commute back and forth to work on his motorcycle from Wheatfield to Gary.

He was a heavy equip operator in the union. He was coming up Rte 49 early in the wee morning hour one day on his way to work when all of a sudden, a big tree uprooted and fell across the road in front of him giving absolutely no time to react.

When he hit the tree it launched him. He survived but he was in the ICU for weeks.

Had to have reconstructive surgery on his face.

To be honest, and even though I've only been involved with one event, (printed for a second one, but .... covid), it had occurred to me that a more limited event would, in some ways, be better. My reasoning is: many of the guests that show up are most interested in either shooting for the first time, or shooting something they never shot before, or exposing the kids to shooting, etc...

How big a deal is it to have just a pistol range, a 50 yard range, and maybe a 100 yard or the shotgun range, but not both? Or just a pistol and rifle range? A much more manageable event that would please over 90% of attendees, and require fewer volunteers.

Just my .02, and I'll keep the change, thank you very much.

Wednesday morning and no sunshine.

Cloudy and muggy here. Hoping for no thunderstorms today. Everyone in the house is afraid of them except me.
