Title: do you want to help take HDF range days to a new level?
Post by: macsak on April 03, 2014, 08:32:45 PM
we have been offered action bay one for use during the shooting sports fair on father's day weekend
HRA has organized this for years, and allows smaller clubs to piggyback on the event in exchange for a share in the revenues from scrip sales
unfortunately, june 14-15 is less than 2.5 months away and we were only given this opportunity in the last week or so
we are responsible for all manpower, and firearms and ammo and booth setup and refreshments
EDIT: we are rescinding our requests for donations at this time- thanks to all that offered
we will be asking later for volunteers to help in the booth, please help if you can

we are also planning on making a new run of HDF t-shirts for sale on and before the SSF
orders/pre-orders will be announced soon

with your support, we want to make HDF range days the best they can be

the HDF range day crew thanks you for your support

Bump.

Need volunteers and want people to start setting aside  the days.

Also donations welcome. Bring to HDF shoot this month if possible or contact Macsak.

.22lr
12 gauge (birdshot)
9mm
.45
.223/5.56 (ar)
7.62x39 (ak)
7.62x52 (.308)

more so we are going to need help that weekend
there will be a work crew clearing grass, weeds, and brush + clearing branches the week before to gain more parking space
friday afternoon we will be setting up tents, tables and chairs
saturday and sunday we will need help with watching the shooters, loading mags, taking scrips, assisting the attendees, food/refreshments
of course, setup and cleanup
we will have to clean and maintain the weapons (at least boresnake/lube on saturday night and better cleaning sunday)

i think this is another reason why sterling didn't want to ask for donations
we are going to be counting on lots of support anyways in terms of manhours, so he didn't feel it was right to ask for donations too

or donate $20 and match Gongho's donation.

Volunteer help is way more critical though.  :shaka:
( I'm only a member and if this is not cool, HDF guys let me know )

Mac,

Since you're hooking me up with your gold assayer, I will donate 5% of whatever I get to HDF.

It's only a few gold chains, but should be something decent.

Sorry, will be on the road during the event :grrr:

Wrong island for me, unless that happens to be when Kaiser schedules the skin surgery on my lip at the Mapunapuna clinic then.

Can you provide more info? What do the volunteers do? If we provide firearms how do we lend it out? Do we mark our names? What happens if it get's damaged? Do we provide the ammo for the firearms we provide? Are there any liability forms if someone was to get hurt using our firearms?

volunteers will be monitoring shooters, loading mags, helping people choose weapons to try, doing secondary safety briefings
providing security, refreshments, taking scrip, helping in the airsoft venue

we are providing ammo
firearms are donated for our use, we will be maintaining them and troubleshooting them as needed
we will log and mark all donated items, and they will be returned
you need to be aware that they will be run hard
there is an overall liability policy from HRA covering the whole event (and everyone participating needs to sign waivers too) plus HDF has a liability policy too that will be secondary

Gold prices sucked, so I'm donating 10%..... not much, but I'll beat Gongho's donation!!!

Hey Macsak,

What's the itinerary for that weekend? Tell me what you need and when. I'd like to volunteer where available. If you're looking for firearms for visitors to shoot, let me know what you're interested in and I'll see what I can bring.

shooting is from 10-4 both days, but we will need help setting up, especially sat am
and cleaning up, especially sun pm

our biggest need right now is manpower on sunday
but whenever you are available to help would be great, arclight

mahalo for helping HDF

Dang wish I knew there was an airsoft venue, I just sold my KWA M16 a couple months ago and gave the guy probably 20,000 BBs.  I still have my pistol and I think a can or two of green gas that I could loan out if needed.  The regular cap mag has a slow leak in it but the high cap mag worked fine last I shot it (which was a while ago).  If you guys want to use anything, let me know.

As for volunteering, still trying to decide on what to do.  I'm a relatively new shooter and I want my wife to try out different guns so I actually want to participate in the event but I'm thinking I can help with setup or cleaning on Saturday.  For cleaning, I'm only familiar with the AR-15 as it's the only gun I own (so far  :thumbsup:).
