The event is postponed to October 10
Anybody interested in having a fun shoot on Sept.26?
We could do it in the same way as the first shoot a few years ago.
Basically it was held on the silhouette range with centerfire pistols.
Very simple format since the actual intent is to BBQ and eat.
We did timed 5 shot strings at some steel plates wiith the time getting shorter with each string.
Here are my thoughts on logistics:
In order to keep the crowd small, we would break into 2 groups.
The TREE group would setup by the tree and picnic tables. There would be a designated TREE captain.
The RANGE group would be just a couple of shooters plus the timer and scorekeeper.
As the shooters complete their run, we call the TREE group to send up the next couple of shooters and the folks that finish shooting go back down to the picnic area.
Basically, the TREE group is a holding area.
If you are at the TREE, you would be assisting by cleaning the bird crap off the tables and setting up the BBQ/ Potluck.
Entry fee would be minimal.
Previously, prizes were donated by members cleaning out their closets.
This year I actually have trophies to give out too.
Reply to this post so I can gauge the participation level.
Suggestions are welcomed.

It says 2A fun bbq, doesn't say who isn't or is invited. Just cause some of you don't like me doesn't mean everyone doesn't. Its up to the organizers. Can't bitch and moan that I am some keyboard warrior though. Many are capable socializing with people who are not all same think.

Can’t believe a troll is having that big of an impact on this community.
Back to my original question.

.38, .45, 9mm
Then I can go single action all the way and still suck but have no excuse. :D

I've met a bunch of new members here and the first thing they ask is what's his problem. Had even a few DM me. Not how long I've been shooting, or what new bills are the government going to try to pass, but what's his deal. Some people are oblivious to clues and it's always the other person that's the problem, not themselves. Which I mentioned already in previous post.

Politics is toxic, but a necessary evil to hopefully make this world a better place. There will be those that like/agree with you, and those who don't. I am not a conservative, so obviously many people here might not be my biggest fan. A majority of humans are religious so that's a big negative too. But that won't change me or my ideals. I have strong beliefs and am not afraid to express them. I am always willing to have conversations in real life or here. I've had many pleasant experiences meeting people here. I treat those how they treat me.

Are you implying I don't appreciate the community? I give business, donate to 2a groups and promote 2a ideals. Just cause we don't agree on politics, the government or religion doesn't mean we can't get along. If anything 2a is the one thing we all share.

Do you know what thread you’re in and the topic ?
I didn’t think even you could mess up this thread.
It’s about common ground that’s not politics or religion or vaxxing.
Shooting and laughing.
They were letting you know why they don’t want to hang around you.
Reflect little bit.
If cannot help, cannot help.
I still want to shoot and BBQ and hear stories of hunting on Lanai. And wherever else.
Edit: changed here to hear. Nice spelling.

I said nothing bad, brought no politics up. I simply contributed to the thread on topic. Then asser and the motley crew ruined it. And I added to the pile. I have no issue with being civil and having a good time. I've been to events before. I would gladly not mention any politics and have a good time shooting. The one thing we all have in common.

Its not about his opposing views. We covered this already and he tried to use that as justification why people dont like him.
Its about moving of goal post, lies, not admitting when proven wrong, and half ass admissions to being wrong if he does some what admit it, many unnecessary post later. Basically attitude.

Someone who hates on 'Religious Folks' for 'pushing their beliefs onto other people' doesnt recognize they are in fact stuffing their opinions into others peoples faces at every possible turn.
"I am making the world better", "My ideals are better than yours"
No irony there.
Its the people who have to advertise what they are 'all about' that lack substance and have no convictions.
It's easy to tell who the good people are just by how they carry themselves and treat other people.
If most folks are telling you that you and an insufferable c*nt, might want to do a personal inventory and make sure they arent right.
I know, wishful thinking ...

Speaking for myself....
I'm not a religious zealot or very superstitious. I was raised as Catholic but not very good at it.
But here is something I tell all my kids and friends.
"No talk stink about nobody"
Hawaii is a very small place and everybody knows everybody. The following is a true story:
I moved to this house in Waipahu in 1987. At that time there was a nice couple living next door.
We got along well because they were just nice ordinary working folk and slightly Mormon.
The wife worked at Servco Waipahu and I would see her sometimes when I needed parts for the 4Runner.
Many years passed.
One year, my Mom came over from Maui to visit us for a few days.
She said she was going to go to church with them on Sunday, as my Mom was also a Mormon.
When she came home from church, she said, "Did you know that Vern (the neighbor) is your cousin?"
We shared roots from the Hana side of Maui.
Hawaii is a very small place.

They say in Hawaii if you strike up a conversation with a stranger, sooner than later you will find common ground.

I have at least one other story like the previous neighbor story.
-
What high school you went ?
What year you grad ?
Obligatory questions in Hawaii. Or used to be.
Trying to find the connection because most people know somebody who knows somebody who completes the link.
World’s biggest small town.
Or as I like to tell my mainland friends. It’s a small town with a million people.
Heck, I’ll sing kumbaya. I only know one line though.
RDS ?
Does that mean I gotta tape one to the slide ?
-
After we sing Kumbaya, can we all do the hokey pokey and turn ourselves around?
Because, you know....that's what it's all about. :D
-
Hokey Pokey ?
Based on comments above, I’m afraid of what OF might put in. :rofl:

I walked into a hong kong bar long ago and they were playing some jan-ken-po game where 4-5 people were putting their fists in at once deciding who had to drink. They were getting trashed, I watched for a while and still couldnt figure out how it was decided who was 'winning' or 'losing' .
Anyone know this game and wanna explain the rules of 5 man Jan-Ken-Po??

If this is the list let’s just meet at the silhouette side and shoot.
Then we head back to Waipahu and GTG in your garage.
It’s just all the guys. I thought this might bring more people together.
I’ll bring the grill and charcoal. (It’ll already be assembled this time :D)
And some meat.
Or wait for aleth… to get back.
I never met him. And he might have stories.
Never met CMO either.
