2009 INGO Family Picnic @ ECPR 6/27/09: AARs

[Roadie]

What a good day at the range. I got to meet several of the folks here on the board, and as was stated before, what a great bunch of people. While it's nice to meet those from other parts of the country, it's really nice to be able to gather at a central location for many of us. I once drove to Springfield, Mo to a shoot put on by the old owner of the Family Friends Firearms forum (Gunslinger RIP). That was a haul. So glad this was closer. The wife let me drive her G6 convertible.

I'm sorry I didn't bring my camera, and sorry I didn't get to mingle as much as I could have. Hope I didn't seem stand -offish.

Thanks also to the organizers, and set up people, and the folks supplying the basics. Thanks also for the offers to shoot some of the more unusual of the firearms.

Anyway, if you didn't know by now why you belonged to a board like this, now you know.

Thanks
Steve

I didn't mingle as much as I could either. Guess I can be more of a wallflower until I feel comfortable, lol.

Free day at the range, good people, beautiful day = awesome.

Why wait til next year, we need a Fall Bash! lol

name tag

Sadly, I lost my name tag. I wanted it as a memento since they were so darn COOL!

Hey IndyRoadie! I found your name tag laying beside a tree and tossed it back on the registration table. I bet whoever cleaned up still has it. Can anybody chime in on this?

 

[esrice]

Can anybody chime in on this?

My bet is that SirRealism has it now.

 

[SirRealism]

My bet is that SirRealism has it now.

You know it. I probably had it in my hand as I was talking to him. Doh!!!

IndyRoadie, I see you're practically a neighbor. Maybe we can meet at BGF some time.

I would appreciate that! I know it's silly, but the name tags were just so cool I wanted mine, lol.

I'm exhausted

My regular staff was awesome, as usual. Volunteer RO's, Jim, Jay & John were great as well.

I can think of worse ways to have spent my 49th birthday

Thanks RogerB!!! You did one heckuva job.

Great meeting everyone.

Eric, I miss you, man.

Happy belated birthday! And thanks again for opening up the range to all of us! Your RO's did a good job and I know I had a great time.

It was nice to meet everyone I met. I really hope to make it to more events like this in the future and meet more of you.

 

[Woo]

Looks like I missed a great time!! I will be attending the next one!

Somebody needs to post up pics of these nametags or are the really double top secret?

[henktermaat]

through the classifieds, met in various places like the 1500... I've gotta say, I've never met nicer, more dedicated, and more talented than this forum has to offer. Especially for this being a local forum.

Then it's good you didn't come and see me shoot

 

[Roadie]

Then it's good you didn't come and see me shoot

I am with ya there! I gotta practice more!

I am with ya there! I gotta practice more!

Hey I know you. From what I hear, you need more practice. LOL !!

 

[Roadie]

Hey I know you. From what I hear, you need more practice. LOL !!

Yeah yeah yeah. Still not too bad for someone with less than 200 rds through the pipe. I was better at the Pistol Class, but then again, that was on a rest...

 

[44 MAGNUM SHOOTER]

You know I had to give you a hard time.

No, not top secret. Here are a couple samples. These were left over by a couple folks who couldn't make it after the date change.
