Spring 2016 Kansas City get together

[Dos Perros]

Several folks had expressed interested in a Kansas City get together to meet, talk hunting, and to bring some gear for others to check out first hand. Locations mentioned were the archery range at Shawnee Mission Park or Mill Creek Rifle Club in DeSoto. I think the better place depends on how many people are interested and of course if folks are wanting to shoot firearms.

Dates...I'm thinking before our turkey season would be nice, wanted to throw out the weekend of April 2-3 and see what you guys think. If you're interested but that weekend doesn't work for you please comment and suggest an alternate date. Also comment on your preference for location, and of course alternate suggestions are welcome.

UPDATED WITH DETAILS:

April 2, 2016, 10AM
Shawnee Mission Park shelter #11 on the east side of lake MAP --> http://jcprd.com/park_admin/pdf/smp-map.pdf

Dos, send me a pm with your email.

I'm down for any of the 3 proposed places. As for dates 4/2-4/3 works for me but the following weekend is spoken for.

Look forward to getting something set up. I've got a new kifaru frame I could use some tips on and appear to need some help swapping stays on.

 

[dotman]

Yeah there are enough of us around Chris shouldn't be an issue getting you setup.

 

[c h r i s]

Cool. I've got some pay it forward books to bring too before posting to the Rokslide thread.

 

[justinspicher]

I'm in. Let's do this.

I should be in town for the 2&3rd as well., The shooting range is fun but I wonder if it will be a challenge to actually talk about stuff with shooting going one. Meeting at the park would probably be a better idea. We can use a shelter if necessary and it would be more conducive to discussions and sharing gear. If we want to shoot at the archery range, remember that you are supposed to have a permit.

Colonel00 if you have any patterns for your diy sewing projects I like an opportunity to trace a few.

 

[colonel00]

Hmm, I don't have any patterns per se but we can talk about all of that. Most of the stuff I have done is just from a measured rectangle of material.

 

[justinspicher]

Have there been a spot picked out for this yet?

 

[Dos Perros]

Let's do Shawnee Mission Park. We can grab one of those shelter spaces somewhere, table tops to lay out gear and plenty of green space to set up tents. I'll volunteer to get there a little early and grab one for us. If we did it in the morning then afterwards we could grab lunch and a beer.

 

[justinspicher]

That works for me, is there a time for this to kick off?

 

[Dos Perros]

10 AM work for everyone? Once it's finalized I'll update the first post of the thread.

 

[colonel00]

Which day? Saturday or Sunday? I guess we can wait a little to see what the weather will do if we want.

Also, if the weather is decent, I'll bring a couple PR-49's if anyone wants to float around the lake.

 

[dotman]

Saturday is best for me. Also prefer the he morning.

 

[c h r i s]

Wife just informed me the kids' soccer schedule has yet to come out so I'm a tentative for now.

 

[c h r i s]

I'll plan to stop by for some portion of the AM though.

 

[Dos Perros]

Chris when does the soccer schedule get published?

 

[c h r i s]

I'm told the 18th. Just sent you a PM with my contact info for future reference.

 

[Jrieke3]

I would probably be in as well.
