No full auto?  Why that's just un-American.  :-)

Ok here's an Idea.

We have a potluck on Sunday February 27th at the Ike?s in Lincoln.  The Ike?s has an air gun soot in the morning so we would start showing up at Noon with Lunch (Potluck) to start about 1:00 (this allows air gun competitors to join us) and then after lunch the air gun folks can offer an accuracy shooting challenge on the indoor range.  There would be other opportunities for shooting on the outdoor ranges weather permitting.  There would need to be a small donation to the NFOA for people to participate, this would be to cover the costs to the Ike?s for cleanup and use of the facilities.  We may also have a silent auction as a fundraiser as well, I have some autographed books and we may be able to come up with a few other items.

We then can follow this up with a Gun Owners visit the Legislature day the following day (Monday, Feb. 28th)

Well do folks think of this?

Sounds good Andy. Maybe if Wes is there maybe he could address the party as a membership recruitment opportunity of Ikes. Has anyone ever talked to Scheels to perhaps donate something and maybe put flyer's there like the CCW trainers and Shriners do? We could use this as a recruitment tool for the NFOA as well.

I agree that this sounds like a good plan. I have asked for the day off on Feb 28th

Sounds really good to me - not sure if I can attend yet or not.

By the way - if you're not already, talk to Mike Kunkee at the Ike's about the air gun stuff.  He runs the monthly air gun silhouette shoot.
