2011NFADay: NFA Days 2011 Date and Time!

[shooter521]

That is far from fair when I am a new NFA person wanting to get into it more and you have people probably coming to the alumni shoot haven't bought anything at all that is in the NFA arena after going to their first NFA day.

There are standards for determining who is eligible to participate in this event. Some people are not going to qualify. Others will qualify, but not get picked. Sorry, but those are the breaks.

when I was a kid my parents always told me "life's not fair".

 

[Roadie]

This is a NOT MISS event!

I was sick at the last one, and didnt shoot as much as I wanted to, but still had the time of my life!

Just more proof you can't please everybody. Even with a great benefit like NFA Day.

I'm curious, if one has been selected and attended a previous alumni shoot do they still qualify to attend future alumni shoots???? And I don't think it's to early to start brainstorming about another shirt for NFA Day 2011, if ones not already in the works.

No, you can't please everybody when people are excluded because they have decided on their own to buy an NFA item but they still want to try other NFA items to see if they might want to buy something such as a full auto. Instead people like me and one other poster are excluded from being able to experience these items and further our NFA knowledge. I haven't even recieved the paperwork to send to the feds yet on my first item and I am still excluded.

Its obvious that my point doesn't matter to the people who are running this event and the site so I will say nothing else on here about it.

It's not that your point doesn't matter, it matters a great deal but unfortunately your situation doesn't fall inside the guidelines we have set for this event. It's tough for us to hold a steadfast line but it is something that we have decided on years ago and we are sticking to it to uphold the spirit of the event.

You have to realize that one of the other limitations is the size of the Venue. This event isn't held at a huge range.

lovemywoods graciously DONATES his personal property (and home!) for these Events, and it is an AWESOME property, but even so, isn't large enough to accommodate huge amounts of people.

So, they limit the number of people as a Safety concern as well.

Other gun sites have organized huge NFA type days that accommodated larger amounts of people, and as the Mods have said, something like that could happen here if people are just willing to organize it.

If you're interested, I'll see if we can get a handful of people to show up sometime when it's much, much, cooler outside and we'll have some NFA toys for you to play with down here in the Columbus area. If I were a class III dealer (I'm not), I'd use this as a pretty good opportunity to show a guy obviously interested in class III items some for sale wares. I know a REALLY good one up in Bluffton that might show you some full auto guns sometime...

Will travel for beer, ammo, and someone to put up with my humor.

The last one just might be a deal breaker ya know.......

Epic sad face... Like seriously epic, like the one tyler will make when he see's my new awesomeness personified in multicam.

 

[Drakkule]

Well looks like i'm out, i just put a down payment on my first NFA item at 21st Century Firearms, hopefully someone will come up with a shoot for everyone. I have been kicking the idea around about building a SBR, and possibly buying a full auto in the future, but i don't know enough about them, and would love to learn. There is WAY more to it than having someone help you fill out the paper work. If someone can come up with something for everyone, i will help in any way i can, all you have to do is ask.

I'm sure he'll dispute this

If I bow out of this years Alumni day, will that prevent me from being invited to next years?

 

[VUPDblue]

No

 

[GhostofWinter]

No

BUT as was said before, the odds of getting picked gets smaller each year with the new crop of qualified members.

But if I was to bow out this years Alumi day, that will give everyone else that much more of a chance to get picked.

 

[downrange72]

Pick me, Pick me. Tagging this year. Last year I didn't hear about it until it was way late. One of the drawbacks of staying isolated in shooting sports and tactics/training. I figure staying there I have less chance of saying something and being banned
