Good Things Happening around the GAF Muster

[Major Matt Lewis]

Now here's the deal, I have a love/hate relationship with the GAF Muster.  It takes a lot of time, effort, blood, sweat and tears to put on a quality shoot for you folks and I kind of run it as a one man show.  I handle all the marketing, the stage design, basically the 4 B's (to those who remember their military training).  So a lot of me goes into the match personally.  And to be honest, I kind of get down in the dumps when I take the time to do all of this and a few applications trickle in or something else, and I swear that "I will never do this again...." But then something happens to raise my moral through the roof.  I get a blizzard of applications (Mind you, all is realitive) and prospective sponsors, start proactively contacting me.  Without going into specifics, I MAY be close to selling all of my sponsorships for the match.

So what does that mean to you the shooter, everything.  I sell sponsorships for product donations so I can turn those around as door prizes.  So that means in short, that I have multi-thousands of dollars worth of prizes to give back to the shooter's who support this great event. 

So I wanted to personally thank all those who are able to attend this year and to those who are thinking about it, check out the link: http://www.lone-gunman.com/Muster/

I'm "counting the sleeps"!   

(And I'm planning on bringing another wee item or two for the prize table ....)

[Silver Creek Slim]

I wish I could make it. Maybe one of these years.

I'm coming this year, it will be the high point of my year.  I'm so excited I'm doing Miz Lou's pee pee dance!

[Major Matt Lewis]

Yeah,

I forgot about that...Should I charge extra for Lou's performance?

[Delmonico]

Just keep it a reasonable distance from the cook camp.

[Lou Graham]

"Should I charge extra for Lou's performance?"

I suggest having FJT sing.  Might get more folks to stick around..............

Hang on to your hats everyone,
  We are coming down to GAF. Hoorah,and all that jazz. Can't wait to see everyone and have a great time. Maybe I should go out and practice shooting at something..,
  Major Matt Lewis, don't fall over when you read this.

Kayleen  -- looking forward to meeting you!
Don't worry, with the ammo count Major Matt has, you'll have plenty of practice on the clock
I've been casting boolits and am reloading for the match ammo so I have it done in time to ship it.  I reload and then sew for awhile, then reload, then sew.
Trouble is: I'd rather reload than sew

[Kayleen]

Lou,
  I know exactly what you are saying. I too cast, reload and sew. But I prefer to sew and design our clothing more than reload. They both rate right up there as long as I don't have to do dishes.
  I look forward to meeting you also, we should have a great time in Kansas. Those guys are great to be around.

[Major Matt Lewis]

Thats GREAT Kayleen!  We are looking forward to some time around the campfire with you....

While away at the NTR Regional, Brownell's had secured Sponsorship, so I would like to say thank you to the good folks at Brownell's.
