Some of you should be expecting a PM from me soon regarding names on nametags. Just a heads up.

Mass PM sent:

Dear Fellow INGOers,

I hope you are all as excited about the upcoming NFA Day ’09 as I am! This year is going to be bigger and better than the original. We’ve got many new items to demo, as well as two new vendors we’ve added to the roster. You won’t be disappointed!

As I am in charge of creating nametags, I am requesting some information from you via Private Message. Here is what I need:

• Your first name only.
• The first names of anyone attending with you (list their screen name too if they’re registered on INGO).

For up-to-the-minute updates on NFA Day status, you can always click the following links. You can also post any general inquires there as well.

Alumni Shoot: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/ingo_events/38132-nfa_day_09_alumni_shoot_sign-up.html

Also, keep an eye on your PM box, as our host, lovemywoods, will soon be providing everyone with a food assignment, plus driving directions to the range.

See you all in three weeks!

I have a question on ammo.. What is an appropriate amount of ammo to bring? There are quite a few attendees (ie time constraints) and I would not want to feel as if I were abusing this privilege by wearing out anyone's expensive firearm. I mean do the vendors just not care like hey come shoot 10000 rounds outa my rifle in a day. I want to bring enough to have a good time and to fully experience the event, I just do not want to seem overbearing or inconsiderate to the vendors good will in offering us this opportunity...

I have a question on ammo..

Here was my PM'd response, so everyone else can see as well. . .

Very good question!

First, take a look at the equipment list and see what you'd most like to shoot.

For this example, let's say you wanna shoot the full-auto Ruger AC556, which shoots 5.56/.223 in 30 round magazines (I think, maybe 20.. . .hmm)

If you figure you will get to cycle to the line maybe 10 times, you should bring at least 300 rounds.

At the VERY LEAST, I'd recommend 100 rounds of each type of ammo, so you can sample and "taste" each weapon.

Trying to squeeze in 1k rounds into each weapon by yourself might be a bit much for the day.

Thanks for the good question though.

If there is a cancellation could I get in on this?

I've added you to the 'alternate' list on page 1.

If anyone else backs out, you're in!

You have been added to the alternates list (see the original post). We've had a number of folks drop out since the sign-up was closed; I'd be stocking up on some ammo just in case...

 

[shooter521]

Here was my PM'd response, so everyone else can see as well. . .

Just an admin note - last year, we sent each shooter to the line with two loaded mags (cuz 30 rounds doesn't last long in a buzz-gun). If you are shooting something semi-auto or suppressed and/or just want a "taste," you could always opt to just shoot one mag.

My advice is to bring more ammo than what you think you'll shoot; you can always take home what's left over (or donate it to a vendor, LOL).

 

[shooter521]

It may have been covered but I am a little excited so I didn't read every post but I am mainly interested in the canned firearms, Especially the 22lr AR the 9mm AR and 5.56 AR.

Would WWB 115 gr. be ok for the 9 or do I need to find something heavier?

CCI Mini-mags Good for the 22?

PMC 55gr?

I apologize, but this line has many people confused and sending me PMs to clarify:

• The first names of anyone attending with you (list their screen name too if they’re registered on INGO).

To clarify:

NFA Day is limited to 25 participants due to size and safety concerns. In some cases we have allowed a non-shooting spouse to also attend. We are not allowing any other guests.

Thanks!

NFA Day Food Sign-up List

NFA Day is three weeks away!

After we’re done shooting, there will be time to eat and talk with one another about guns and such. Supper will be a pitch-in with ‘picnic’ food. I’d appreciate having the participants sign up to bring an item to help out. (The vendors are exempt since they’re busy bringing the hardware!) Most of the items in the list below are fairly easy, even for the non-cooking guys. If you do cook, please consider signing up for a side dish. That leaves the ice and chip choices for the “All I’ll ever need I can get at Village Pantry” crowd. Respond in this thread with what you’re bringing so others can see. I’ll try to update the list during the next few days.

I’m going to cook up some baby back ribs. They will be ‘wet,’ meaning they will have BBQ sauce on them. [Fun fact: Did you know that INGO member ‘Tyler34’ is a real BBQ contest judge?!] If someone really enjoys cooking and wants to bring their style of BBQ, go for it! Just let me know what you will be bringing so I can adjust.

I imagine that after shooting those awesome NFA firearms, we’ll all be ready to sit down, relax, and eat!

[Flintlock]

Since I live in a dorm with little access to cooking whatnots, I'll go ahead and volunteer for the napkins (I'll get some really nice ones ). I can bring more stuff if needed. Let me know if you need me to bring anything else.

How far are you from Bloomington? I'll probably ride down from Indy and stay with a friend at IU the night before so i don't have to drive so far in the morning. Depending on what time we are starting... which brings me to my next question, what time are we starting?

 

[Pami]

Lars & I are down for Mac & Cheese on Day 2. Is there a separate food list for the Alumni shoot?

/me needs to catch up on posts still

 

[lovemywoods]

How far are you from Bloomington? About 50 minutes if you take the state's curviest highway 45!

What time are we starting? Arrive at 11:30 am. Safety briefing at noon at the range.

My comments in blue.

/me needs to catch up on posts still

since you said for day 2, which I'm guessing is the alumni shoot.


I'll take the mac and cheese for the first shoot on Sat.
I may even make a seperate dish of my spicy mac and cheese.

My comments in blue.

Alright, thanks! Looks like I'll just drive from Indy then.
