::--COMMENTS--::
So ....
what did you like?
What did you not like?
What do you want to see more of?
Are you ready for Youth Day 2015 with WINAMAC in June?
(The game plan is to use ONLY .22lr suppressor rifles this coming year to keep everything quiet and not scare the little ones.
As such I need your help in getting suppressors for the event. We need a minimum of 8.)
Anything we should change?
Complains of any kind?

The biggest thing I'd like to see is an easier way to identifying members. A welcome table/area perhaps, with screen-name-tags or something, would make it a lot easier on us non-lake-county folks to figure out who is who, and it would also serve as a neat way to make friends with the Winamac locals too..

Like people who wear pink and the other people who don't wear pink?

Well this was my first year of attending the Meet and Shoot and the youth day. I really enjoyed it got to meet some new people, my wife found someone who like clays just as much as her, and wife also had fun. Would be nice to have more women attend so my wife had more for socialization. If someone can find a suppressor for a Marlin 60 then I'll bring mine back next year. I would also say a few more meet and eats so those who are new don't feel weird at the range, or can see who is who and how we get along beforehand that way they can run.

we do have name tag's at these event's and sometimes wear them, it seems to be hit or miss tho. we really should be better at wearing them everytime, thanks!

I always put my screen name on some masking tape and my son wears "little daddymikey1975" on his.

We will attend more next year, and we'll bring some ammo next time. I'm very appreciative of the generosity and how friendly this group is.

Agree that we should all wear name tags.

 

[actaeon277]

I have a laminator.
I keep wanting to make tags with member name, real name, and avatar.
But, there's always something else to do.

 

[Snapdragon]

My nametag kept falling off.

First event next year, I will bring some pre-name tags. So everybody could just come and put your name on it.

 

[actaeon277]

Just be carefuif you let T-star make yours.

 

[Hawkeye]

I'm from NEI and made it to a couple of events, I think. They were nice. A bit of a drive for me, but I did take a run over to the range there just to shoot one other weekend! Keep it going over there. These are great events. I hope to continue to occasionally make an appearance.

Thanks. You are just to good to me.

I went to the Sept event and had a great time. I didn't get to meet too many of the regular attendees due to cold weather and scheduling conflicts. I'm hoping to attend more events next year and meet some of the group. We are having a meet and eat in South Bend Tuesday the 18 at Politos for the NCI area. Hopefully some of the NWI group can come.
