Yeah man, that sounds great. School is getting out at the top of april and I'll have to find a job afterwards, but I bet I could probably swing sometime when I know when it is. thanks for this man!

How many folks are bringing kids and what ages?

I'd like to bring my son, but I just want to make sure there's not gonna be any B.S. I know that this is unlikely given that we're all on "the high road" but my son is too important to me to take any chances.

I always read about what some idiots do out camping what with the beer and guns pointing at everyone's guts.

Last time I was at the place it was great fun and my son had a really good time. Polishrifleman and his brother and I kept the goofing off and shooting seperate, and everyone was most concerned with the kids first.

Polishrifleman is out of town till next week, so we'll see what he says. I'm keen to read anyone else's thoughts on this.

I would not expect any BS, judging from having "met" you guys on this forum. If you need some encouragement to bring him along, take a look at these from our first shootout up in Pullman.

This is when we were planning.

I concur with Pops, Carnaby. I'd have no reservations about bringing my children and having them present around any of the Northwestern THR folks I've met so far. All have been polite, respectful, fun to shoot with, great to talk with, and extremely safety-minded (not to mention pretty good cooks).

 

[AStone]

It's nice to read that NW THR events have been so successful and safe in the past. The idea of separating "goofing off" and shooting makes perfect sense.

I'd say that everyone who comes to the camp should be cordially reminded of a minimal rule set (given that the participants may know each other from online but not in person). I think it's always a good idea to go over basic safety rules up front rather than as an after thought.

Unfortunately, I won't make it up for this one. The remodel of my business has already eaten my financial lunch, and a major equipment failure last night sealed my fate for several months. No time off for Nematocyst.

Sounds good, thanks for the reasurance, guys.

 

[Polishrifleman]

Dates.

Not only is it reassuring to hear about the kids, but I am also opening up my cabin (term used loosly ) land etc... for this and appreciate the comments. As mentioned before I have set up an MSN group to discuss more detail off the forum to keep the thread clear, so hopefully we will see some of you over there.

 

[P-32]

If I can, I'll join in. Don't know if I can do the weekend without putting in for time off, but let me know which days you guys are plaining and I'll make one of the days.

 

[armedandsafe]

I opened my fat mouth over on another forum, where I mod a little, and we might have a couple of fellows from there ask for invitations. I have already cleared with Polish and they will contact him for invites, if they can make it. One of them, Ysacres, hosted the NW shoots we had for the other forum. Good guys, both.

Cool!

I would love to come! May is probably a no-can, but the early part of June might work. This would be great, because I want to take my wife Mulie hunting over there...either LT Murray, Oak Creek or Wenas...so, it might scare her(and me) into better shape if she sees the hills.
