Post and plywood feeler

[2A_Tom]

For years NWI INGO helped Winamac DNR Rife Range with posts and plywood for targets. When DNR Indianapolis Headquarters made a rule against range carry, a bunch of us got butt hurt and we stopped.

Hence this poll.

So the butt hurt is over and you're looking for help or if there's enough help the butt hurt will end? Just trying to clarify.

Some of us still went, some of us have started back and some will not go back until the rule is changed. Westill have a really good relationship with Winamac DNR. It would be nice to keep our good will going.

I rode past there about 5 years back on the Crane Cruise. I‘ve not been as a visitor, though. Maybe this summer, now that I’ve a firearm!

Nonetheless, mark me down for a cash donation. I highly value our State’s parks, preserves, and other protected land. It’ll be nice to support this park under the community’s banner.

^this.

Note the donations wont change the rules but WINAMAC DNR had no say in the rule changes and did NOT like them either. It was the attorney at DNR HQ (Indy) that imposed the rules.

The original core group that went no longer goes, the 2nd group has now started to go again. A mix of BOTH groups still do the annual WINAMAC/NWI INGO youth event.

In 2020 it was cancelled by DNR HQ (indy) due to COVID-19. No word yet on if 2021 will be cancelled or not.

WINAMC is always in need of plywood more than post. They finally were able to get permission to use the downed trees in the forest as post vs letting the wood rot. Plywood they have to buy out of their own local budget which means they have less funds for other stuff such as their yearly kids goose hunting event with 18ga shotguns or the kids fishing events in the summer.

So when we help with plywood it lessens the burden they have as DNR INDY keeps a tight leash on the funds.

Ya know, it never even crossed my mind when T and I made it to the October(?) Meet and shoot. We both OC’d but we’re largely hidden under light jackets. I’m sure both of us were quite visible. No one said a word, even had a decently long convo with the RO and gave her a couple cupcakes.

I was packing my stuff up and told the RO something, and she told me we're not supposed to have a gun on our hip.
I was packing up. Literally leaving.

When you carry ACIWB 99%of the time, very few folks admit to staring at your junk. Bonus, pretty comfortable driving and accessing. I tend to be on long drives.

Some one PM me with the address I can send a check.

Dude, you haven't even shot with us up here.

Pay no attention to my vote. My fat fingers voted unintentially while scrolling through on my phone. Not in my neck of the woods, I have no real opinion

But I always donate to the youth shoot either monetarily or ammo. One day I will do the drive.

Witness! As well as organizing Indy area folk's donations so mules aren't driving all over Marion County and surrounding areas.

I can chip in some cash, but more than willing to use the truck to transport. Silverado and all sorts of ratchets and bungee cords. Even rope too as needed.

You can change your vote to remove it.

We would love to have you come and give the kids Unicorn rides and free ice cream.
