Hey yinz guys. I used to run the Pittsburgh area meet ups (Still do actually) and after a recent thread, thought Id get something started in my new hometown area. I found meeting local members was a great way to make some friends and put names to faces for those we see here often.
Now... I dont know the area yet, thus dont know a great place to do a meet up. Im open to suggestions as well as figuring out a date that best fits as many members schedules as possible. I know its a few months out, but Ill definitely be at the East Coast Night Shoot Nov 12 in Garrettsville. If you visit the link, in pic on the websites homepage has me and a few other arfcommers from a local Pittsburgh night shoot. So sound off if you are in the area and willing to meet up. Or just to stop in a shoot the shit |

In. Could even do something simple like breakfast or lunch. ETA: I may have to see about attending that night shoot.

Welcome friends!
I'm flexible on whatever. I do love breakfast. I'll sit around a barrel burning leaves. Not picky. Will meet. |

It won’t be for a year or so, but once I get my range and barn built, I’d be interested to hold a small local shoot. My house won’t be done for probably 2 years though.

I know you were packing down in that area! I did that back around 1990. Even back then and only 6 or 7 years after it closed the place looked like a scene from the movie "The Day After".

Columbiana Co here.
My dad's company (steel mill over in Beaver Falls, later Ambridge) used to have their company picnic at Idora Park in the 70's and early 80's. Good times. Did Canfield fair for nearly 50 years; as a child and later with my children although probably never again. |

Oh, I will certainly need a number of people to help me test my sporting clays course.
I want to build some pretty cool thrower houses. But I’ll need to make them semi permanent. Thus I’ll need to trial and error thrower areas and difficulty. I want to make it fairly newbie friendly with a few tough shots. |

Well Im glad the Canfield Fair shooting could bring us all together
Here is my thought, bc Im a NV guy. Ill bet at the East Coast Night Shoot Nov 12 in Garrettsville. Thats not for two more months and my wife said I need to make friends . I liked the idea of a breakfast meet up, because I like to eat breakfast. My thought, lets pick a place for sat Sept 24? Doesnt interfere with archery season. Gives everyone a few weeks to make excuses to not come or practice their social skills. Thoughts? |
