8th annual NWI INGO Family Fun event (Youth Shoot) volunteer feeler

[actaeon277]

I will get this from you when we meet up next eek.
I will look and see what I can do with .223 to support this worthy cause.

You could always visit.

I think this is just a feeler to see if we'll have enough volunteers.

Later there will probably be a thread on what everyone's donating or bringing.

Correct. Once I hear from DNR I'll open the official one. Take all the comments of in from here to put on main list and move the ammo donors to their donor post as well

 

[d.kaufman]

Looks like we should have no problem getting enough volunteers. Think I had 15 that said they're in and at least 4-6 possible depending on date.

 

[repeter1977]

I'll be happy to bring some "historic" firearms again like I did last year and I'll have a couple sidearms as well. But those can be discussed later.

UPDATE FROM DNR

Winamac DNR does want to host the event on sat, 13 june 2020. However DNR WINAMAC has a DNR state wide meeting to attend on 14 FEB 2020 in which the decision for the event will be approved/denied by DNR HQ.

DNR has major restructure and program changes occurring this year and at the 14 FEB meeting the regional DNRs will know more of what is going on.

DNR WINAMAC does not see the event on the chopping block.


****
Personally I do NOT trust DNR HQ not to mess stuff up as they have never shown interest in helping and seem to just slow everything else down.

I was out at one of the first ones with my two kids, and it was a blast... haven't been back since. I'd like to do it again even though they've both grown up,and moved on. I can have my VFW be a partial sponsor. Let me talk with my people and see what we can do. What would be needed most? (besides just money for ammo)

Donations for shirts

 

[Hawkeye]

I will help with ammo as always.

I thought you would be in charge of the Cheeseburgers?

He cant be trusted. He is a MOD....
At least with ammo we can always just get more if we got a dud here and there. But with our food. Have you lost your mind!!!

 

[Hawkeye]

We did. We had a lot of people stop on over and enjoy the display. I think we had a very good representation of the basic firearms from the American Revolution through WWII. We were a bit light on sidearms and modern weapons but that is to be expected. We had plenty of longarms.

I have no problem doing it again.

Doug

PS - I will also be able to supply bacon cheeseburgers and sides for folks. We can discuss special food for volunteers and DNR staff as the time approaches.

I enjoyed helping out at that display last year and would be willing to do so again this year. Again, assuming Im free, which I probably can be.

 

[marvin02]

I am penciling in June 13 to be available. Looking forward to this.

 

[MRockwell]

Congratulations on the new member to your family. They grow up so quickly and next thing you know they will be driving.

Thanks chef larry. It's hard to believe it's been 4 months already!

Donations for shirts

There's shirts? Wow. It must have got bigger over the years. We only went the one year. This child is now in her third year at Ball State...

Just out of curiosity what is on the shirts? An INGO logo? Looking for some exposure here, maybe a big donation could get a VFW logo as well...?

Ball State!

Here are a few (I wear mine quite a bit to advertise):

The back of the shirts have all the sponsor names.
And the title of "instructor" or "volunteer"
So that the public knows who to ask for hekp.

The front has the year and name of the event along with nwi ingo logo. Shirts tend to be bright yellow or organe or grey to stand out.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

I'm in. I'm sure I can get my post to come up with a donation enough to be put on the back of the shirt as a sponsor.

Me personally, I'd like to be there as well. It was fun that day, even if the bugs were a nightmare that day. I brought an AR, a 10/22, and a GSG 22. They had me at a station with the .22s.

As of now I have the following available for use.

Bolt guns.

Remington 513-T .22lr (scoped)
Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 in .223 (scoped)
Remington 700 in .243 (scoped)......... not much ammo
Lee Enfield No 4 Mk 1......... not much ammo
7mm Mauser (Sporterized, and scoped)...... maybe 200 rds
Mosin Nagant M44

ARs

10.5" A1 upper pistol (5.56)
10.3 pistol with red dot, and 3x magnifier (5.56)
11.3 SBR with red dot (.300 Blackout)........ maybe 300 rds
14" .308 AR (pin and welded) 1-8 Primary Arms with ACSS.

Lever gun

Rossi 92 in .44 mag with red dot. VERY fun to shoot. I think this would be a hit.

Other

10/22 Charger takedown with Copper Custom brace adapter, brace, and red dot. Very fun, not too accurate. Good enough for the 25 yd range.

 

[chef larry]

Last year the DNR crew sprayed for bugs and didn't get attacked once. Always a good idea to bring bug spray.

 

[2A_Tom]

They have sprayed the last couple of years.

The old post I belonged to till I transferred out to use to donate for shirts. I think this year I'll talk to my buddy and see if he can get copper custom to chip in.
