Since this is outdoors we most likely will have around 10', most people doing outdoors events give 10'x10' spaces because that gives you the ability to set up a standard awning to protect from sun and rain.

Talking about tables, I have Scott's (Lilrat) 6" table that needs to get back that direction that I bet he would not mind us using, and a 30" round 42" tall table that works nice for sign-ups and raffle tickets that we can use.

Do we have permission to use the Pandemic design? Anyone have a contact with the Pandemic planners?

We've got permission.

Maybe some competition that can get people active and based on their performance they get entries into a drawing for the mini kit Toby described (or similar smaller prizes).

Ooh ... I like it!

How about loading up a pack with bricks and doing a timed run - or maybe a fireman's carry?

hmmm . . . I know someone who may have an advantage in that type of event because of how they train.

That is a great idea Toby. It's something that could really set the NFOA apart from the rest of the sponsors.

I'm pretty sure that individual has a conflict and won't be able to attend the event. ;-)

Okay NFOA ZRT (Zombie Response Team), I just got word from Bill that we can have as much space as we need at Pandemic for whatever activities we come up with and that as long as we follow the state laws on raffles we can raffle off whatever we want. He sure makes things easy for us, eh?

RobertH · « **Reply #28 on:** March 12, 2013, 10:29:47 AM »

i like all of these ideas. but i have a question, what if someone would get hurt doing one of our events? who's liable? do we need a participant signed waiver?

Good question. I'm sure there's an event waiver. I wonder if it would cover us.

Wesley D · « **Reply #30 on:** March 12, 2013, 04:00:43 PM »

Agreed, very good question. Let's brainstorm and select some of the best ideas for activities and then we can analyze the injury risk. Depending on the risk, I'll get an advance copy of the waiver participants will sign for Pandemic and see if we'd be covered, then we can proceed from there.

Toby, the big question is, are you going to submit your training program as a possible competition for the booth?

kruiz · « **Reply #31 on:** March 12, 2013, 06:44:44 PM »

What about a field strip or disassemble/reassemble your weapon timed event for a side entry thing?

Hmmm ... I might be willing to do something along those lines. What if I put together some pieces and parts of my regular workouts and offered up a donation to our PAF for anyone who could complete it?

Hobie Call did something similar here:

I'm checking to see if my schedule permits, but if I can attend the shoot I will help in whatever way is needed.

bkoenig · « **Reply #34 on:** March 13, 2013, 05:23:27 PM »

OK, I'm in. My wife wants to attend as well and go camping that weekend. Anyone else up for pseudo-roughing it at a nearby campsite?

I make mean biscuits & gravy in the dutch oven.

wusker · « **Reply #35 on:** March 13, 2013, 06:45:28 PM »

Wow this looks like fun just got done watching some of the vids from the website http://www.zombiesintheheartland.com/
I would love to come help and mostly get in the way, talked to my wife about it and a nice weekend camping trip sounds like fun.
But we can come and spectate im guessing I only 2 handguns not shotguns or carbines...yet. so no competing in what looks like a 3 gun shoot.

Looks like they have a KOA within minutes but the website doesnt tell me if they allow tents

bkoenig · « **Reply #36 on:** March 13, 2013, 07:15:33 PM »

If you need a rifle and shotgun you can use mine. Just bring our own ammo.

That sounds like great idea and way to get buy-in from the rest of the family. Campground with a lake, fishing and swimming would be a sure sell.

I think T-shirts are a good idea. It would be nice to have an event specific design. I'll need to get more NFOA t-shirts made up anyway, so adding another design in the mix is no problem.

Keep the ideas coming.

I'm in for a zombie green NFOA ZRT shirt! I'll be helping out with prizes at the match.

Suggestion for a shirt design- take the standard NFOA logo, remove the crossed firearms and replace with a biohazard symbol, and remove "NFOA" from the bottom and add "ZRT" or "Zombie Response Team".

For those who never shot 3-gun DO NOT HESITATE. It is a ton of fun, especially at a relatively laid back match like this. Don't worry about winning. Just have fun and be safe.

CliffD · « **Reply #39 on:** April 02, 2013, 09:52:53 PM »

This sounds like fun, I'd be happy to volunteer for whatever is needed.

One thing I thought we could do is have a jar full of loose .22 rounds. $1 allows you to make a guess how many rounds are in the jar. Closest to correct without going over gets the ammo...and NFOA keeps the money. In case of a tie or multiple ties, winners split the ammo equally. Now if we could only find enough .22 shells to fill a jar

It would be kind of cool if a few of us that have odd or unique older rifles to bring a few and have them on display behind the table.
