    1. Having Military equipment on scene for a show and tell (IE. military vehicles and such).
    2. Inviting local VFW's or AL to event.
    Why would we have to invite AL again? Wasn't he at the last one?
    Bring on the Sizzler

    I'll have to agree, I think everyone brought a cooler. We had a sea of 'em.

    Speaking of coolers: fully agree.
    I'll move it into individual supplies.
    What else is helpful: I'll make removable content labels; this way we know what is inside, instead of keep diving into each and every in search for right nectar.

    Speaking of T-shirts:
    Nothing started yet. We'll ask this year's designer (Dmejia81) if he is willing to carry on the torch for next year, but everyone's suggestions are welcomed.
    Because RH did a heck of the job on T-Shirts manifest, I'll ask him to open and carry this task for next year (with my full support).

    It may be easier than counting to 509. Give it a try brother...... (Shazam!)

    DOC,
    Those are awesome!
    Range(s) can certainly handle those; on other hand, can Ferret?
    I'm directing your question to Ferret, as Range GrandMaster, RH and Shadow as VP-s and Chief as Friday's range property owner.

    I don't see any issue at all; moreover, when I see them (targets, not RH and Co), I see ...sex.
    I see the soul mate for my AK (in process of building: yeah, that's the one, which will take the trophy ).

    As you aware, Friday is a Pistol Range Day, held at the edge of the FOB Chief (Sizzler-5 HQ and AO).
    Saturday is the Rifle Range Day, and it'll be held few miles down the road (same place as last and this year).
    Having targets made mobile is a big plus.

    Thank you for suggestion and offer.
