I was asked if I would do something for the kids again. Sure I says.

I'm looking to do something a little different this year since most of the kids were a bit older and fairly familiar with firearms. 
So... this year I will set up a Rimfire Challenge -ish sort of match.   I want to give some options, too, so I hope to offer Cowboy- Lever gun, single action revolver, Tactical- AR style rifle and 'modern' .22 semiauto pistol , and standard- Ruger 10/22 and MarkII/III-preferably "race ready."  To give the kids a little taste of different competitions out there.

I'm putting this out there for help.  I may need a levergun (Henry would suffice (I have access to one, but would have to go get it in Kansas) , an AR style rifle - M&P 15-22/ Mossberg 715 (?), or even a full size AR with dedicated upper?. The Modern Tactical pistol I'm thinking - Walther P22, Ruger SR22, Mosquito, M&P .22, etc.
I have a 10/22 but it is far from race ready (plain jane bone stock) if any one has, or know someone that has some Ruger/ Volquartsen rifle and pistol please contact me.

Of course the kids are welcome to bring their own, but I'd like to have a selection for those that don't .
Of course Moms and Dads are welcome to shoot, too, once the kids have all shot.
I think I'll do this as a free will donation sort of thing to help offset cost of ammo. ;) 

Depending on donations, there may be prizes in each category.

I have a Mossy 715 you can borrow.  Haven't shot it yet, so I'll make sure and give it a run through beforehand
The master has failed more than the beginner has even tried.

Hello, I am going to drive out to GI on Sat. morning the 23rd, and will pick up J Fade in Gretna at 06:00, I have room for 2 more if anyone else wants to carpool.
My plan is to return to Gretna after the awesome meeting. PM me if interested.
Nothing fancy unless I can talk Mama out of her Suburban.

Reminder: For those headed out the night before.  I will be camping at RV spot #9 and will have a grill if anyone wants to throw on burgers, dogs, steaks, etc.  Look for a dark gray Dodge Ram 2500 and a pop-up camper.

Good luck and have fun, all.  I was really looking forward to this and to meeting a lot of you but I have to work Saturday.  I hope you have a great turnout and fun is had by all.

I regret that I will have to cancel the kids shoot at this years meeting, due to illness, ( being a man you know I must be dieing ;)  ) I can't seem to shake. No chance to gather up all the needed supplies.

Just a quick reminder for tomorrow.

Registration is from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m

We are meeting at the clubhouse, which is across from the trap and skeet range

We will have a printout of lunch tickets sold, so you don't need to print anything off to bring with.

Um.  The seminars/meeting/etc are at the clubhouse, or just the registration?  (In other words, after registering, where do I need to go to set up stuff?  :) )

Registration  and lunch will be in the clubhouse.  Each presentation will be where the presenter believes to be the best venue (choice of range or inside)

Is there an official policy on CCW there at Heartland?  Can't find anything about it on their website.

Don't recall anything being restricted on Concealed Carry.  We were asked not to open carry last year, but seems that Concealed was fine.

That's the way I remembered it, but wanted to check.  Thanks!!!

Just to let folks know---unless there is a significant amount of torrential rain (which there shouldn't be) or lightning, the Defensive Awareness seminar will be out on one of the pistol bays.

The clubhouse just isn't really set up for any type of large meeting, and we need some room to move around. You didn't think I'd just stand there and talk at you the whole time, did you?  :)



(And I know plenty of people who have CCW-ed there numerous times.)
