As always,, time seems to go faster than we figure. It's already time to plan for the 14th annual Ruger Forum East Coast Gathering here at my place.
Hard to believe we've had this going on this long.
So,, here's the details;
When; The first weekend in October,, 10/5-6/24. Some folks arrive on Friday (10/4/24) & are welcome to come to the house for a "social" gathering. Saturday is the main day. A range day.
Where; Hawkeye Gun Range at 2373 Owl Hollow Road, Mill Spring NC
What; Just a fun time for folks who enjoy firearm socials,, where you can shoot your guns, try other guns, shoot the breeze, enjoy fellowship, a Saturday evening Low Country Boil cookout.
Who; This is always fun. Initially it was considered just a Ruger Forum thing. But we've NEVER turned anybody away. We invite friends & such,, and guests can bring friends etc. It's an OPEN invite,, no membership, no secret handshake, and,, it's NOT just about Rugers. Other guns are welcome. If you have a firearm you think may not be welcomed,, just ask me & we'll figure it out. We've enjoyed all kinds of different guns, other brands, suppressors, big & small over the years. Normal types & unusual types.
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER HERE, AND WOULD LIKE TO MEET OTHER MEMBERS,, YOU ARE INVITED. NO SPECIAL INVITE NECESSARY!
All I ask is that you notify me that you are coming so I kinda have a "head count."
RULES; Very simple. I have (2) rules. SAFETY FIRST and HAVE FUN!
Under safety,, eye & ear protection required on the range. No unsafe gun handling. If you have to,, ask me & I can clarify anything.
I'll have a variety of different target set-ups,, and even a bay for an "action shooting" run. I have steel targets, & other goodies.
Accommodations; many traveling members choose to stay in Forest City due to the more reasonable motel rates. The drive from the motels there is only about 20-25 minutes. If you choose to stay a little closer,, Lake Lure & Chimney Rock area have places,, but the "tourist season" rates apply. And it's about a 10 minute drive,, unless there's an "event" of some type going on.
I have several tables where you can lay out some guns for a kinda "display" if you wish. No,, we don't do a formal display type of thing. Just bring what you wish to share or shoot.
ANY QUESTIONS,, PLEASE PM ME OR ASK IN THIS THREAD!!!!!
Moderators,, please make this a "sticky."
