I was thinking - what about trying a "Warrior's Grendel Shoot"? Sort of a warrior's (and chiefs too, even though they are chiefs! lol) get together, maybe some discussion, maybe some p-dog shooting (b/c there's a lot of them!).
Especially if we could get, say, Howa and Federal ( the 90 AE's) to be sponsors!
Guys, would it be possible to get those 2 mfrs or maybe a couple others to sponsor? Maybe some prizes or discount on the 90 AE's for shooters? I know there's contacts on here who know or work for them... or other vendors???
Proposed rules of engagement:
1. Must be this-forum warrior level or above as of June 1. Mostly to make sure we have some forum-known, Grendel experience people.
2. Must have a howa grendel (if Howa wants to sponsor). May also bring a backup of any grendel model.
3. Must shoot 90 Federal AE's (if Federal wants to sponsor). May also bring 1 back up round either commercial or hand load.
ps, if there's other vendors IDK how or who but don't quite know if we could mandate their products. I picked these b/c they seem to be big in their slot and/or active on this forum... again, just a proposal.
4. Location tbd since I don't live in p-dag country, will need to find a good location, up in Wy or N Dakota, or?? ideas wanted. There might be a $ charge to shoot b/c of the venue, but this is not intended to make money for anyone per se.
5. Probably a 1 or 2 day event.
6. Date, somewhere in maybe Aug or Sept? during good p-dog time.
7. May have to limit it to 10-20 total participants, just for logistics' sake....
8. Could make this a possible annual outing if it's successful.
Travel and exp's on your own dime. Hopefully there will be a hotel or two close by the place so we can get together off the field.
Possibly we could get a couple of our experts to offer a couple 45 min-1 hr talks/Q&A on a grendel topic...?
Maybe a raffle or entrance $, bundle it into a 1st, 2d and 3d place winner.
Might also have to design a tee-shirt!
Anyway just throwing out an idea so what does the horde think?
I'd be willing to run point on it, although I don't have all the details and would certainly be open to assistance.
