I will be in Texas hunting on the 23rd, but still very interested in the group. Let me know how the results of the meeting.

Missouri CK · February 14, 2008, 04:34:00 PM

Tom,

I'm cool with just using the dinning area. If we do it in the mid afternoon I've never seen a ton of people up there. That way if a bunch of guys cancel out at the last minute it isn't a big deal.

Good luck on hunt and have a safe trip.

I will post some kind of update on this thread along with some pictures.

I'm with Chris. I'd hate to have 5 guys show up and be forced to pay for the room.

Hey guys, If enough people don't show up I will cover the extra cost. This will be alot of fun just getting to meet up and visit.

Chris is right though not to many people midday.
It dosen't matter to me either way.

Good luck down in Texas Mel

As far as I know next Saturday is open for me. It's a pretty fair drive but it'll be nice just to meet some of you guys.

1:00 on the 23'rd works for Me, and I'll gladly chip in on the room costs. Looking forward to meeting Everyone. bretto

ksbowman · February 14, 2008, 10:14:00 PM

I'm in barring an emergency,room or no room I am planning on it. Ben

Gatekeeper · February 14, 2008, 10:38:00 PM

Okay...

Our buddy Chris put a thought out there that I didn't think of and he is right. There could be just a few people showing up for this and the small group would feel compelled to pay more than what they had anticipated on and some of the people may not have wanted the banquet room in the first place. So this is what I am going to do. I am going to go ahead and get the banquet room for us and if you want to chip in then go ahead and if the banquet room is something that you feel is totally unnecessary then you don't have to worry about it.

Thanks Chris for your input it was a very good observation. I would have really felt bad if your scenario had taken place.

The reason I want to get the banquet room is to add a professional feel to our meeting and some privacy.

KS Trapper

Thank you! That was a very generous offer. I am looking forward to meeting all of you. We may not have Texas Sweat to look forward to but at least we have something fun coming over the horizon.

Hey, here's another thought maybe....

Might ask around a little at Cabellas and find out if you could put up a flyer near the front doors a couple days in advance. I know a lot of guys who shoot trad don't have computers but I don't know many of them who don't pop into Cabellas every once in a while. Might snag a few more that way. Might also get a couple to show up who don't shoot trad yet but have been thinking about or are just curious. It's been my experience that if a guy is even a little bit interested in trad all you have to do is get them in contact with somebody who actually does it and let the hook set itself...

Cabellas might be very favorable to this simply because if a fella got bit by the trad bug, "Well gosh, there just happens to be a nice modest selections of trad bows right downstairs. Come on and I'll show them to ya."

And for THAT purpose, the shooting lane is more than sufficient.

p.s. I think I still have the lists somewhere that we made up in the past when I had the other get togethers at Platte Falls. Should be about 15 names in all with phone numbers if I can find them.

Paul/KS · February 15, 2008, 10:19:00 AM

Well shoot, got told I have to work that afternoon.
Sorry I won't be able to make,maybe next time...

PrairieHawk · February 15, 2008, 03:27:00 PM

Hey fatman, if you ever need anyone to shoot with, get ahold of me--I too am from the 'burg! I'll be in Wichita for a few more months, then moving back home.

Gatekeeper · February 15, 2008, 09:11:00 PM

to create a spot

for us

if we need to.

Missouri CK · February 15, 2008, 10:15:00 PM

Tom,

Shoot, I wouldn't have thought those rooms would get much use. Heck, I didn't even know they existed until you told me about them.

I'm sure we can find a spot especially if we meet up and cruise Cabela's for a while to let the lunch crowd thin out.

Sorry you did all that leg work for not but I still really appreciate what you did.

Looking forward to seeing some familar faces and some new ones as well.

Chris

fatman · February 15, 2008, 10:48:00 PM

Yep, a big hand for Tom for puttin' this thing together

Gatekeeper · February 15, 2008, 11:19:00 PM

Thanks guys.

We'll make it work and have a good time doing it.

twosheds · February 15, 2008, 11:40:00 PM

Thats too bad about the room. But I'm sure we can make things work anyway. I can't wait to finally put some faces to these names. I agree, GREAT JOB Gatekeeper for bringing us all together. Tripper

bretto · February 16, 2008, 09:27:00 AM

Room? We don't need no stinkin room. Heck if we can't muscle in on the food court we'll use the parking lot. Thanks for all Your effort Tom.
See Everyone next Saturday. bretto

K.S.TRAPPER · February 16, 2008, 10:27:00 AM
