[dougwg]

FYI: I am updating/deleting other posts to avoid confusion.
sweet!

just thought of it...

Add "Dish to pass" to the list as a Misc type item.

[miked]

I'm in for baked beans and condiments! Possibly a dessert item as well.

[wwjmaj]

If Utpd will fire the grill the day before so we have time to put out the forest fire before the shoot I am good for burger meat and sugar free cobbler....might be blueberry might be cherry one just never knows.

ps
I didn't read the "multiple choice" issue so I noted one with guest attending but didn't note both for lunch on the poll...

[johnzilla]

I'll bring cups, a case of water, and a couple 12-packs of soda.

[Signess]

I'll bring cups, a case of water, and a couple 12-packs of soda.

SODA!? Ok, where the hell did that come from? I thought I was the only one in this state that called it that. Been calling it that ever since my navy days some 18 years ago. I caught so much **** for calling it a "pop".

[fbuckner]

I have three large coolers and will supply the ICE

[DetroitBiker]

I can bring some snacks,Chips,pretzels,dorito`s etc..

[toyamabarnard]

Count me in. I'll drag a couple cakes with me for deserts too. Might even share the chocolate one :coolgleam:

[hopeitsfast]

I'll be there unless i piss everyone off first. :mischeif:

ETA: You're all safe, i will not be attending. I hope you all have a great time, the weather is looking good for Saturday, at this point.

[screagles]

Count me in for a dish to pass. Any suggestions?

[Chappy]

Count me in!

[fbuckner]

Geez Chappy dont talk so much!

[CnA]

The better half and I were planning to attend, but due to the HGC's recent decision to ban open carry, sadly, we will not.

"Hello fellow members and Second Amendment supporters," Hmmmm.....

[NickS]

I'll be there with some of the Merchandise.

[fbuckner]

CnA- Now is the time to show up and get a chance to discuss with the board members that will be there our dislike for the rule.

[Quantum007]

Hopefully can make it.....

[mini4m3]

Does HGC allow full auto firearms to be shot on their premises?

[sse]

The event looks great, but what is the object of the "memorial"?

[slalom]

Does HGC allow full auto firearms to be shot on their premises?

From our range rules...

11. NO uncontrolled rapid fire! NO fully automatic or 50 Caliber BMG firearms allowed!!

Sorry...

[fbuckner]

The memorial shoot was first set up in rememberance of those members of MGO who have passed away. I believe John Johnson was the first we honored he went by Whoisjohngalt here at one time.
But we meet,eat and shoot for the day.

[Chappy]

Geez Chappy dont talk so much!

I'll wait until I get you FTF...where you cant avoid me...and then watch out...Ive got a year worth of sermons to run by you...and then comes the offering and...

[Islander48506]

Yes...! count me in! Unless something else is happening.

[silverbullet2005]

I'm going to try and make this event since it's not that far away from me, I might even be able to talk my wife into coming and bringing some of her homemade No Bake cookies!

Might be a good idea for members with anything for sale in the marketplace to note on here and your ad if you are attending the shoot. Bring your wares along.

[Alton]

I can bring Hot Dog if someones BQing

[UTPD#5]

I can bring Hot Dog if someones BQing

[Signess]

But nooooo grill lighting! We've heard all about you ya know. :biggrin:

Hey Gary, I'm not going to be able to make the meeting/Mem. shoot. I'll have to get your case to you at the next one. Unless someone is going that's close by I could send it out there to you.

I've got to do my monthly work day at my club on the 2nd Sat. of the month. :thdown:

[Burs]

The wife and i will be there.

[silverbullet2005]

I'm planning on coming out tomorrow but it may just be myself since the wife has to work.

[Chappy]

Just got home...to all who attended...it was AWSOME! Thank you for the great food and for letting me shoot your various different guns. It might be the only time i ever get to shoot an X5. God bless and see you next year!

[Maranatha]

Chappy, Fun Shoot in Taylor in a Few weeks. Don't wait till Next year.

Had a Good Crowd, Great Food and Fellowship, Great Weather.

Thank you Howell Gun Club and MGO.

[silverbullet2005]

I just got home and realized I left my yellow Britta drink holder on one of the 50yrd benches so if anyone happened to pick it up please let me know and I can get it later. Thanks.

The day went very well and it was a good turnout with lots of great food and drinks. I have to say the Brats and Sausage/Peppers were my favorite. We shot on the 7yd pistol range until 3pm then a handful of us stayed until 4:30 shooting at the 50yrd range. I had a great time and as always it was great meeting everyone to put a face with a name.

[johnzilla]

What a beautiful day it was for a Fun Shoot!

Thanks to everyone who made it out, thanks to Gary and Chris for doing the cooking (again!), and thanks to HGC for the use of the facilities!

And a special thanks to my fellow Directors for getting our meeting done in 90 minutes. ;) :thumbup:

[slalom]

I think a good time was had by all.

Slalom doesn't own any safe queens... :lol:

[XDM 40 cal]

Slalom doesn't own any safe queens... :lol:

And has a very nice 9mm, that i shot...:ar15:

[wwjmaj]

Nah Slalom's sig was OBVIOUSLY a safe queen. I think I will start a grass roots gun issue and seek support to free it ... to me! Free the Sig; Free the Sig; Free the Sig; Free it to ME!

Seriously, thank you to all who came, whenever you came or left. It is important to remember our members who have passed and welcome new shooters to our sport and we had several. THANKS to both Maranatha and PrettyNPink for your cooking time and skill yet again. THANK YOU to Ed Hoffman, coordinator and teacher of new shooters (and feeder of our addictions to longer term shooters with his collection) extraordinaire. Ed you teaching of the new shooter was one of my joys from the day. THANK YOU CHAPPY you always touch the right balance for this day and I always enjoy the discussion even when I am busy with other things. Finally THANK YOU to all who took the time to join us, remember with us, chat with us and shoot with us. On to Top Gun!

It was still there when I left. Got there a little late and went to shooting so I missed out on a lot of the food (cooked). Saw some new, and some old, and some new old faces. Had a good time, the weather was great !

Had a laugh with the range officer. When he heard me say 7.62 Nato he told me "Well yeah you can shoot that here, but this is only 7 yds".

[NickS]

Thanks to ALL that came as well as those that helped set this gig up and to those that took all these great pics. To those that couldn't or didn't make it, you missed a great outing!

Man, I'd love to have a grease gun ! But yeah, it is a Thompson copy that takes grease gun mags. There were even 2 of them there yesterday.

Miked your welcome, they have been sitting around, I was glad to find someone that can use them.

Big Thanks to Ed and HGC for having us out there, and I had fun shooting an M1 for the first time, thanks again goes to Ed.

Great time to be out in a wonderful fall day in Michigan shooting guns!

I had a great time out at the shoot. Thank you everyone for giving my girl some steel and brass to play with and for teaching her a bit. I think shes hooked on shooting now.

Wish I would've been there for the group photo but thanks to everyone who brought food, took photos, and most importantly came out.

I will try to mak it out to Top Gun but it looks like I will have to work that day.
