any interest in friendly competition

[biganimal]

when I owned my gunshop in NY I set up a monthly competition for friends and family. some months we shot rimfire and some months we shot milsurps. we all kicked in a small fee and my shop supplied prizes. sometimes first place was a firearm and sometimes it was reloading equipment or ammo. this was dictated by the number of participants.
If there is any interest I'd like to set something up at boggy head. let me know.

my idea is to try it once then we can decide if this is something we might want to do more often.

I think I would be more interested in pistol personally.
However I will come out and cheer y'all on.

Sounds like a great time with my ol' SKS, or the old Mosin Nagant...

Frost, we can play with the handguns too

 

[PCShogun]

I'm interested so long as the entry fee is "fun" and not an investment. From what you posted above, it sounds like fun.

 

[Pops]

I like the .22 rimfire in both pistol and rifle.
I'd give it a shot (pun intended)
When would you want to do it?

I would be in for pistol. Or even modern rifle. Give a couple of dates and we could vote on them.

I would be fine with just bragging rights for the prize.

 

[Sizzle]

I would be in! Hopefully I can pick up a cheap AR and bring that along to play you guys and your high dollar habits!

 

[Chili]

We could also have it at Mid Carolina Rifle Club. We have real bathrooms.

I thought trees were the original bathrooms? :lol:

 

[biganimal]

[Sizzle]

So have we lost interest in this? I would love to do something like this and wouldnt mind putting in the manual labor to make this work. Lets get this back on track set a date and do it!
