    Hey guys,

    I've frequented the Enos forums for a while and occasionally Glocktalk, but didnt realize til now all the shooters in the NW Indiana area. Do we wanna all have a get together some time? Dinner? couple beers at a bar? Lunch after a match? Check out any area gun shops?

    Just a thought. Feel free to chime in with any ideas.

    No idea what we would discuss or talk about. Kinda sounds like a man date now that I type this, but just a thought....

    A man-date works for me! I'd be willing to hop on the toll road and meet up wherever! Sounds like a good idea! :rockwoot:

    Someone offer up some times and places. I'm in the Westville/Michigan City area, but I will be glad to travel as far west as the IL state line or East to South Bend.

    Gotta be a lunch thing during the week or anytime on a weekend for me to make it.

    Any of you guys get around Valparaiso? If so, stop in at Blythe's. I was in there this morning and they have two bolt action Barretts on sale. I've never seen on in person before. Pretty cool. Maybe, someday .........:do2:

    The counter people are some of the dumbest in the industry, IMO, prices are average at best, and the selection of things people actually want is merely OK.

    Kempf's is even worse. If Kempf didnt carry reloading supplies he wouldnt be worth anything at all.

    I've checked some of their prices on the stuff I was looking for and found them to be surprisingly reasonable.

    Re: the counter folks - I do my own research, so I don't count on them except to ring me up

    I totally agree that they have TONS of pure CRAP in that store.

    I am not familiar with Kempf. Where is that?

    He is on Rt. 20 East of 421 in Michigan City. He carries lots of western clothes for Cowboy Action costumes. He is one of the last to still carry Vhit powders. Very few guns that arent cowboy related. If you are under 50 years old he will stare at you blankly as if you are a bum that just asked him to wash your ass. He will also sigh loudly and then act pissed off should you ask a question about anything whether your question is brilliant or retarded.

    On the up side he carries a good selection of powders and whatever primers he can get at good prices. If it werent for that it wouldnt be worth the walk from the parking lot.

    Thanks for the info. As i am not 50, nor very interested in CAS, nor do I reload, I have no reason to subject myself to that sort of treatment. Except when i talk to my wife, of course.

    May I suggest that if we (NW Indiana folks) meet, we do it somewhere other than Kempfs

    :)

    I'm from North Jasper county. Here in Demotte. What ranges do you guys go to? I love JP! Blythe's had the great idea to have a gun sale the same day as the Valpo show. Doh! I'm up for anything as long as it isn't when I have to work.
