Regarding the upcoming AZ GTG, I was PM'ing Artful last night looking for a way to up the turnout for this and future events. Art suggested a "trophy" of sorts, and the light came on!
I came up with this concept, modeled / rendered it in cad and have it in the hopper to be machined at work.
I am going to call it the "Prestigious Semi Wad Cutter Trophy"
It is 5.1" ish tall ( OAL ) on a 6"x6" base, bullet is machined aluminum
My idea for this is for those interested in FRIENDLY competition, (rules TBD and may vary by event) winner takes home the trophy but has to return it one way or another to the next GTG,
1) to defend thier title
2) or to pass it on to the next winner
3) or be shunned for leaving it on the loading bench when you leave for the GTG!
The idea is still to have FUN but go home with a little more than bragging rights, Who doesn't want to win The Prestigious Semi Wad Cutter Trophy??
Competitions, rules, tie breakers, etc. can be setup before or at the event or over breakfast....whatever, Im not partial.
I plan on having this done by our Sat. Mar 1 GTG and bringing it. I am purchasing the material myself, so all I ask is that if as a group we decide to go with the novelty, it is taken care of and passed on as I suggested.
Use the AZ GTG thread for GTG posts, any posts concerning this concept, post here please.
Lets hear thoughts and ideas!
