As one Dawg to another, Thanks. I figgered that I would be back in October, so I just bought it. I've sorta adopted Nebraska as my second home.

Welcome pard, I spent a little time down your way back in the late 60's at Ft Sam, there during the worlds fair.

I hope to make it out in October, at least for one day, might see ya there....

Just look for an Old,bald headed, bow-legged cowboy in an old John Wayne style hat. I'll be near the food!

Gentlemen, Just curious as to when everyone will be arriving at Ft. Hartsuf? If I can stay on schedule I'm planning on early Thur. afternoon. Hoping to get settled-in and have time for a tour of the fort before dark. With all the goings on last year I only got a quick look at the officer's quarters. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Oct. Al.

Bow View Haymaker · August 20, 2009, 10:05:55 PM

Jerry, could you use any help at the range on thurs. or is it all going to be set and ready by then?

Pitspitr · August 20, 2009, 10:10:19 PM

I'm going to have to try to have it set up by the previous Sunday. With the new job and all I won't be able to be there untill about dark on Thursday.

Texas Lawdog · August 21, 2009, 07:57:45 AM

I plan on getting there Thursday afternoon, if everything goes right.

River City John · August 21, 2009, 05:45:36 PM

As will I. If everything goes right. If it goes left, who knows when the hell you'll see me.

Pitspitr · August 24, 2009, 06:19:02 AM

It looks like the final round count for the main match is 95 Rifle and 77 Pistol.

Texas Lawdog · August 24, 2009, 07:23:51 AM

Thanks Col., for the info.

Pitspitr · August 29, 2009, 08:47:13 AM

Several of you have e-mailed or called me on phone to indicate that you are coming but haven't sent in the formal registration forms. I really need the formal registration soon for a couple of reasons.

First, there are a couple of classes where I need one more registered shooter in that class to be able by GAF rules to award medals to the top 3 places. Without that 1 registration I will only be able to award a first place medal in that class. I want to have ALL the medals engraved prior to the match this year.

Second, I need to know how many shooters handbooks to print.

Third Delmonico needs to know how much food to purchase.

And finally, and I think this is pretty cool, I was visiting with a board member of the Friends of Fort Hartsuff, last evening and he told me that The Friends had invited the Freemont Pathfinders, a (semi-) local reinacting group, to come to Fort Hartsuff that weekend. Now the cool part of that is that if they do indeed come they want to put on a "live fire" Gatling gun and cannon display for us and this would give us a recruiting opportunity. The down side is that it may make it kind of crowded at the fort. We have first rights to the barracks, but if you're are coming make certain you have a bunk reserved by getting your registration to me soon.

Also, if you need to be in the same squad with someone you're sharing equipment with or just want tio be in the same squad with someone, let me know I can try to accomidate those requests.

Remember the Muster is only just over a month away.

River City John · August 29, 2009, 08:58:40 AM

If we're short on space in the barracks, the Gatling gun can sleep with me.

WAY TOO COOL, Col.!

I don't think it can be stressed enough, the 2009 GAF National Muster will be unique, and never to be repeated in all it's elements.

Pitspitr · August 29, 2009, 09:03:10 AM

I never thought of that!

I did; however, think to offer to store it for the Pathfinders the last time they had it out here.

Steel Horse Bailey · August 29, 2009, 11:45:35 PM

A Gatling Gun?

Dang hang it, durn burn it, dog gone it, dag nab it and shucks!

I ~~get~~ (?) have to miss the coolest things! AND Del's cooking!

John, Jerry and Glen ... and everybody else who will be there; drool some for me, OK, fellow Troopers?!
