Yep, still good to go.

Let's call it the Shoot and Greet and Swap Meet. Bring any hardware that you want to trade and some cash and let's all make a deal!

Just want to bump this thread to remind everyone that the 2011 S&G is fast approaching. Use either the Sign-up or Food threads in http://vagunforum.net/meet-and-greet/ as needed.

Don't forget to review the official disclaimer from the VGOF legal team at Dewey, Cheatum and Howe. http://vagunforum.net/meet-and-greet/me ... t8135.html

Thank you.

Any chance we could do a little trap shooting? Looks like I'm getting a new 870 for my birthday.

I seem to remember someone busting a few clays last year. I think they were setup down the hill by the lake.

I busted almost a whole case. Problem I had was they busted after they hit the ground. Guess that's what happens when you don't shoot a shotgun for 15 or more years.

I busted some while they were still in the box, I didn't think they were so fragile! lol

Brent (GreyGhost?) had the trap machine. That was a good time. Is he on the list this year, or does someone else have a machine they can bring?

I would like to know if there is any need for some 5' x 3' cardboard for placement of targets or what ever as I have about 10 of them I can bring. if there is then please let me know or I will put them out to the trash today. I was going to bring 3 anyway but thought that someone else might want a couple for pistol/rifle target backdrops.
Vern

We always need targets on the pistol range. Bring 'em

ok not a problem

I do have a hand thrower that I think I could put my hands on. Maybe someone can lend some instruction. Last time I used one of those I think I thru more clays at the ground than in the air!

I like a hand thrower ducttaped on a 3' foot piece of 1" PVC - you need to be smokin fast w/ a full choke to bust 'em coming out of there!

I hereby declare a hand thrower contest. Whomever brings the best clay thrower by my arbitrary judgment wins a beer. There are only two rules, it must be hand powered and Bill must be willing to let it on his property.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

I generally make my other half throw the birds for me, so I'll officially enter her in the contest.

My determination of best is not limited to function only. The furthest or fastest are not guaranteed to win...like contours events, presentation and form are a key attributes of this contest.

Alright here is what I think I'll go for. Notice how he rubs the clay first.
