Trad Gang Father and Son/Daughter Get-Together
« on: March 14, 2007, 12:56:00 PM »
Or mother and son, father and daughter, or any other combo that comes to mind.     :)  

Guru (Curt) and I have been kicking some ideas around about getting our kids together.  It's one thing for our boys to go stumping with their dads, but I think if the kids got together for a fun weekend shoot the experience would be wonderful.  And it would give us dads and moms another good excuse to get together.

I was thinking about having a number of fun novelty shots, some aerial targets, and enjoyable games.  Maybe mix it up with a little fishing or canoeing, too.

This idea is in its infancy.  We don't have a place or a time.  Absolutely nothing is nailed down yet.  We just want to toss it out there and see if any other Trad Gangers would be interested.  All suggestions very welcome, especially if you know of a good site to host this gathering!

Thanks in advance!

Woody, I will ask the Powers That Be at NORVA about it. It is located at Fountainhead Park, which has rental boats and a boat launch. Belvoir might be a little tight security-wise, eh?

So, if it works out, will ya let me shoot?  :bigsmyl:

Sounds good so far, folks!  Yeah, Killy, Fort Belvoir could be a might touchy...  Is there camping available at Fountainhead Park?

Emma says you can shoot but only if you shoot with her.    :)    :wavey:

This is a great idea, and if possible I will be there with Hunter.  For me, it will depend on when and where this happens before I can commit. Great idea guys!  :thumbsup:

Let me know.My club in Schacticoke, N.Y. would most likely be available.100 or so acres, a large pond loaded with fat bass and sunny and a bit of camping area.Its about 1/2 hour north of Albany.

Maybe the Denton Hill shoot (ETAR) would be a good time and location?

Nope. There are no camping facilities available. Maybe somebody is a member of an Izaak Walton league with that type of setup.

Killey,
I'm a member of Issac Walton. We have a very nice archery range here in Lynchburg with camping facilities and a lake for fishing and swimming, etc..... If ya'll want to do it here, I can check to see if it would be possible. Just let me know.

I live just across the VA line in NC (fairly close). My daughter's and I would be instrested in coming. I have been wanting to take them camping this year. What date are you thinking of?

So far, two possible locations -- Lynchburg, VA and a little north of Albany.  They both sound excellent.  Would you guys mind asking to see if they'd allow us to use their place?  Would there be a fee involved?  Sure hope not -- and  I'm sure we'd all be glad to sign legal waivers, but if we have to take out some kind of insurance policy that might be a show-stopper.  But let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

Thanks all, I'm very glad to see all the interest for an outing with the kids!

Wolfman, I'd love to see you there, but for me and Joe to be there it's going to have to happen before late June -- we're moving to California (sorry, Killy, the Air Force should have asked for your permission first!)  

Who knows, maybe we can put one together on the west coast, too.  That'd cut about four hours off a 28 hour flight from New Zealand, wouldn't it?  Yowza!    :wavey:    :)

I might be able to  make it if it's in VA. I have a couple of little 'uns who like to shoot.
