Yes! Show your appreciation of their efforts and willingness to help motivate gun owners to get out and do some good! (@rangerlars connected with Rapid Fire Arms and prompted this donation. They are also handing out lots of our fliers. Thanks Lars!)

My wife and I will be there. I'll make sure to bring a tarp for easy brass collection. I'll happily pick up anyone's unwanted brass!

 

[31Kwiredog]

I'm going to stop.

Things look a little different about this thread? Last night we got our new Events Calendar and we put this event on it. In the process we lost our 'Vote' poll. It has been replaced with an RSVP button. (You can find the calendar at the top of the Home page in the drop down box under "Resources", then click on Upcoming Events). Events on the calendar are posted to the section Events & Get Togethers. A new revision is on it's way and will help fine tune a couple of things. Thanks Joe Link for making the calendar happen!

The last count, Monday eve, was 18 Yes votes and 15 Maybe votes. So don't worry, we'll have lots of people there! Spouses, families and general community should put us well over 30 volunteers.

Several USFS representatives will be there. Lots of photos. Clackamas County Dumpstoppers is bringing up their dump truck once again (I hope Dave is driving it! I like Dave).

Sign in on the USFS Volunteer sheet and the NWFA member sheet with your user name. At that time you'll receive a raffle ticket for the prize drawings (more prizes to be posted in the next day or two).

After sign-in, and before cleanup, we'll have a little talk or two. Of course the safety stuff, but more importantly will be discussions from USFS. Good info for us to hear!

Looking forward to it!

Excellent! I'll work up a list of the kind of photo's we'll need and get it to you before the event. There's certain ones we'd like to get. Also, shoot what you like and be as creative as you like. I'll be fairly busy most of the time but will make time to help set up for certain shots.

Okay. Send me a PM or you have my email. I'm just happy as my 500 just got back to me and it looks as if S&W fixed it.

Good idea though to tell me what you want photos of. I've never shot an event. I'm usually just with the camera on a tripod catching video of the exploding targets... Too bad we can't have that fun in the woods anymore.

I'm going to be bringing my experimental pistol brass catcher. Highly classified and stolen from a post somewhere on here. Can't remember where the post is, but I liked the idea enough to drop the whole $5.00 on it.

Don't you touch my brass TMitchell!!

 

[TMitchell]

I'd be interested to see that. Normally when I go out to the woods, I have 3-4 people with me. So a tarp works well and forces the uneducated shooters to step forward next to the tarp.

 

[pietro beretta]

I don't know what the roads are like up there; will the rain pose any significant issues getting to the site?

I did say unwanted.

No issues with rain on the road to get there. Forecast looking a little better for the morning. Hope it changes to good for the all day.

 

[TMitchell]

So I suppose it'd be ok to take the car and not the truck... 30mpg vs 13. Lol.

I'm going to be in my Golf TDi. 45mpg.

 

[TMitchell]

Awesome little cars. The repair costs are the only thing that keeps me away from them.

My knee surgery is next Thursday, but my doctor told me to take it easy till then. No target shooting this weekend or making the cleanup. I am aiming for the next Tillamook cleanup next month. Hopefully I wont be walking like Festus from GUNSMOKE.

I was back up there this morning. Boulders have been re-positioned and have grown in size (two weeks ago looked haggard). There's still much of a car mangled up but "they" moved it out of the trees and closer to the shooting rules sign. I cleaned what I could but there's still much to be done.
I'd join you all if I could, but work beckons.

Thank you echase! I believe we should have the dogs covered. I've got 24 and I believe @rick benjamin posted he will bring some (although he didn't say how many). If you bring 12 and rick brings 12 we'll be covered. All the other stuff is perfect! Thank you!!!

Looking forward to meeting you!
