Let's plan a run & gun!
bkoenig:
Ok, breaking off from the thread about the Oklahoma Run & Gun event. It sounds like there is a lot of interest in hosting something like this in Nebraska. For those who aren't familiar, here's what we're talking about:
http://www.okrunngun.com/
The OK event is a 5K or 10K adventure race, run both offroad and on a dirt road, with rifle and pistol shooting stages spread throughout the course. Everything you need must be carried with you - rifle, pistol, ammo, ear/eye protection, water, etc.
I see three big obstacles to overcome:
1. A suitable location
2. Volunteers to run the event
3. Insurance to protect the landowner and organizers
It sounds like we may have a location available, since Mudinyeri has talked to Signal 88. I would assume (not sure) that their existing insurance policy would cover the event. Another option would be my family farm. We have pasture land in Northeast Nebraska and my family would be willing to host the event if we can find people to run it and insurance to cover the event. The land is pretty rough and would make for a very challenging course with plenty of good places to shoot. The downside is that it's quite a ways away (3 hours drive northwest of Lincoln) and since it's a working cattle operation we would need to do it either in the spring before cattle are in the pasture or in the fall/winter after the corn is out and they've been moved to the stalks.
Contacting Old Breed Gun Club to assist in running the event has also been mentioned. I think they would be a great resource, wherever we hold the event.
RobertH:
very interested. maybe we could shorten it to 3K since im way out of shape. this could also be an ARFCOM get HTF get-together, but i won't post anything there yet.
i remember being on BK family's farm for a short hunting trip. was very rough and a location.
possible NFOA fundraiser? any possible sponsors for a prize table?
DenmanShooter:
Sounds great. I like the idea of adding the 3K or changing the 5 to a 3. :)
OnTheFly:
I would imagine the turnout would be immensely better if it was in the Lincoln/Omaha area. I might even give it a try some day.

what vehicles can you use to get around on this course?
