    Winamac DNR has reached out to me asking if we will be helping with the annual family/youth day.
    Here is the email from DNR.

    We have started the planning of our 2018 Family Fun Shooting Range Event. This year we would like to hold the event on Saturday June 9th. Last year went very well and resulted in a record attendance with many new participants. This year I am hoping for the same turnout, or even better, with extended efforts to advertise and promote the event in all local newspapers, community calendars, radio stations, the DNRFW event calendar, and Facebook page .

    We are looking forward to working with INGO, 4H Shooting Sports, and all of our sponsors and volunteers again this year. My staff will be prepared with the same general setup and equipment that has worked well for us in the past years.

    Please let me know if you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns about this year’s event.

    Thank you and take care,

    We need a MINIMUM of 17 instructors/range officers to make this happen.
    As many of you are aware we have had our own internal debate going on since the last event about doing this event again due to the new DNR range rules. The rule of no OC/CC handguns on the range still stands. You can read all about why here. If you want to debate that topic do it on THAT thread. I need this thread devoted ONLY to who will help and donors. At the time of this writing we do NOT have enough manpower to do this event. I want to give DNR a yes/no reply by next week on this event.

    For those new to this event here is a link to our past events.
    The 5th annual event is here and it has links to all the prior years in post 1.

    So here is what we need to talk about right now.

    1) Can you volunteer?
    - We need firearms instructors to teach the kids (we can supply you with .22lr longgun and ammo if needed)
    - We need skeet/trap shooter operators
    - We need safety range officers to oversee each of the areas (4 to 5 ranges)

    Optional helpers
    - We need photographers
    - We need ammo runners (to take ammo to the various benches)
    - We need cooks (we will supply the food and equipment)
    - We need greeters

    ---
    You can't volunteer (in person) but want to help?

    The past 5 years INGO member have been kind and generous in donating ammo (.22lr mainly) for this event.
    Once again we need donations to make this even possible.
    - .22lr ammo mainly
    - .223 and 7.62x39 for the single 'big rifles bench'
    (does not matter if you are not in NWI we have members that go all over the state and can bring back your ammo donation)
    - money donations for t-shirts for the volunteers (d.kaufman is handling this for us this year)
    - food/money donations for food (we feed everyone hot dogs, chips, pop, water and cookies)
    - plywood/money donations for the range itself

    MONEY DONATIONS
    Info to come on this in a bit.

    I'm in wherever needed. NRA Certified Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun. Coached and competed in NCAA 3-position rifle for 20 years. Can RSO or photograph if needed.

    I can likely arrange to bring some full-size Anschutz match rifles if desired. Not sure if you want triggers that light, but they may be fun for the kids to bench rest.

    Hoping to volunteer ... probably as a cook.

    Might be out of the country again. These seem to be scheduled when I leave.

    I can probably scare up some ammo and a 10/22 rifle, a nice pink AR15 for the girls (not for Jedi).

    What about Bow & Arrow ... are they not doing that this year? I have a couple nice, but flight drawing bows.

    I won't add you as a for sure then.
    Winamac County 4H club handles the bow and arrow and crossbow for the event.
    They have more then enough equipment but I can ask if they need more.
    Let me first confirm we have the numbers before I start to do logistics on ammo/guns/etc..
