@BatteryOaksBilly has graciously offered to host a Carolina Firearms Forum Meet & Greet at Battery Oaks this fall. He is located in Conway, SC just a few miles inland from Myrtle Beach. Here's his post in another thread in case you missed it.

As these things usually take a while to get going, I thought I would mention it now. I would like to host, along with Geezer and a few more of my shooters, all who would attend, a visit here. I can park and support 200. I will arrange for food for everybody, and if safety measures can be worked out , shooting. NOW, with this said, I am OUT. Some of you will have to organize the date, the time, and get the word out. There is plenty of shopping for the wives at all the outlets 20 minutes away, or day trip to Parks and Gardens. The mensies can stay here and get to know each other and talk and handle and sell and buy amongst each other. If any of you want to spend the night and have campers, we can accept campers. The bunk house sleeps 3. First to sign up can stay there. Outdoor toilet and shower for those brave enough. This is just a thought and no one will bruise my feelings if they opt to not come. As I have said before, all are welcome. There is NO SMOKING inside the gates. Too much to catch on fire. Ya'll think about it but I would like to know for prep time by August 1st. The weather usually takes a turn to the good about October 1st. Billy

Tentatively, let's get it out there and start planning for a weekend in October. As for now, we will look at either October 13 & 14, 20 & 21, and 27 & 28. Yes, it's a long way off but we all know how fast time slips by. By talking about it now, some of you can start working on spouses to plan a beach vacation with a little side trip for you. So, if you think you'd like to come to the coast for a weekend at Battery Oaks, let us know.
 
Just curious...

1. How close is the nearest small airport? (For a private plane, like a Cessna)
2. When he says "campers", does that include RVs?
 
I already have plans for the weekend of the 20-21, but am open for either of the other two dates. Sounds like it would be an awesome get together.

1. NMB airport is about 20 minutes away.
2. I'm pretty sure he can handle RVs.

You have a flying RV? :confused:

Yes!

My dad has a Cessna and an RV. Just considering my options...figured maybe he could fly me down, or I'd borrow the RV. :D
 
I'm all in, just a nice drive from Raleigh. I like to drive and shoot but not at the same time.

I can help out. Let him fly me down there and you drive the RV. ;)
 
I would definitely be interested in attending. Its a fur piece to drive down and back in one day, so the missus and I would pitch a tent and take out the next a.m. if thats acceptable.
As an aside...finally a meet and greet planned on a date I don't have Reserve Duty lol.
 
To be clear...are we still TBD on any actual shooting being done?

Billy will need to address this but, I do know everyone will have to sign a waiver to release Billy from any liability. Everyone that shoots there signs one. Hopefully some of our EMT members will be in attendance so we can have any emergencies covered. And, I'm guessing that the number of people wanting to shoot will influence the decision, too.
It's still early and a decision will made in plenty of time for everyone to plan accordingly.

If it will help, I'll shoot and make everybody else look amazing. :confused:

As of right now I'm in. One for the bunk house please.
How do we send money to help pay for the food and other items, Billy will be providing?
For those of you who have not been to Battery Oaks, you will be in for a real treat.

Fred
Nip this in the bud........send NO money.
 
Jeppo, you and I can team up and make everyone else look real good, OK?:D
I'll have to bring my own target. I carry a knocked-down barn side to be sure I hit something. :eek:

I need to do some planning 'cause loading the barn into the truck is a chore. Mr. @BatteryOaksBilly, if you decide to allow shooting, will there be space to set up my barn side and will I be able to get back from it at least 7 yards? :confused:
 
It's encouraging to see so many of you interested in visiting us here near the coast. It's still several months away and we'll keep talking about it and making plans as we go.
 
Do I have to go shopping or gardens? I'd rather shoot.

Touche'

I'm certainly planning to be there and looking forward to meeting up with as many CFF members as possible. I sincerely appreciate @BatteryOaksBilly for his awesome invitation to host this for us.

I'm hoping that we can all relax and spend time getting to know each other in a setting that does not include computers and/or keyboards. That means as much to me as anything I could possibly do that weekend.
