I went to dinner yesterday with JustinGrosche and Fallout4x4 while traveling on business. It was great to get to put names with faces and I ate entirely too much.
Remember when you travel to see who in our clan is nearby and make plans to have a cup of coffee, a beer, or dinner.
It is great to put names with faces and expand our forum into a conversation over a meal with people you share interests with.
I think my next trip is probably to Charlotte, NC - anybody wanna grab a beer?

Since Year 2000, we've been having the annual Nevada Cast Bullet Shoot, and have met scores (at least) of Cast Boolits members for extended week-ends.
It's difficult to express how fine it is to discuss our hobby with folks who actually UNDERSTAND the 'language' of bullet casting.
Many long-term friendships have resulted from the annual convocations, and since it's only once a year we always have plenty of news and results to spread around. Also, there are always at least a few new faces with whom to become acquainted, and this gives a fresh 'feel' to each Shoot.
We spend so much time in solitary endeavors that having a group meeting offers a real and valuable widening of our perceptions.

The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. -Ken Konecki, July 27, 1992
John Galt was here.

I have met up with 82nd Airborne on 2 or 3 occasions, and justcharlie, who is one of my customers. Every time, an enjoyable experience.
I have just been so busy at work latetly that I don't have time to meet with anybody, except my kids.
I met(2003) and now annualy shoot against sundog at our state military bolt BR match
(last weekend) as a matter of fact, it's actually club against club with minimum 5 shooters
per club to qualify.
It's good to talk face to face with him and a couple of other Tulsa shooters that are members here that I can't remember there names.
OKC Gun Club wins again by the way, not to rub it in!!!!

Last year Ricky P (RamRod) and his wife came over and helped me with a big rendering session. This year I drove over to their place for some wheelin and dealin'. Good people, and ya'll are right, it's great to meet up with other's from our board. If any of ya'll are ever in the north eastern NC inner banks area, let me know.
Give us this day our daily lead.

Yep, met up with rockrat at a gunshow in Ridgeway. Had a nice visit, chatted for an hour or so.
Planning to meet up at a gunshow in Montrose in the spring. Looking forward to it.

Wil, had a really good time with you and Joe last night. Good food, good beer, and new good friends is hard to beat. Thanks. BTW that flashlight is fantastic. JustinOriginally Posted by wiljen
I plan on making it to the NCBS in 2012, and right now I am working on meeting some of my fellow Nevadan (I'm a resident now) boolit shooters.
I met with Springfield today for some trading and he's one heck of a nice guy to deal with. Its good to finally met someone here face to face and I hope to meet more.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid.

I met Freightman last year when he came to visit me in the hospital after my by-pass surgery. I enjoyed the visit as abbreviated as it was and look forward to meeting with him again, soon I hope.
Gunnerd since you are just up the road from me and in fact I do get to the Lebanon area occasionally (factory outlets and women you know!), we should be able to have a face to face meeting. I'll PM you to exchange info. I think this is a wonderful idea.
Ridgeway had a gun show? I guess that little town is bigger than I thought! We have a vacation house on Pinecrest in Ouray, rent it out to cover the mortage/property caretaker/maintenance/repairs, occasionally we get to use it too! Mrs. and I will be up there about this time next year, might have to look you fellers up.
I've met a couple of members here myself, good people.

I got to meet a couple, Old Hickory and BorderBrewer fine people for sure.
When we road trip next summer I'd like to meet a few more.

Only member I have met is 1shirt. Seeing that he is my FIL I don't think that counts.
If anyone is in the Omaha area look us up.
Would like to meet with other Tucson & vicinity casters, for breakfast, or lunch or whatever.
