Josh, are we going to have display tables at the show like last time both PGCA tables and individual display tables like last time? Eric

Eric,

Thanks for your note- "yes" I have made arrangements for about 15 tables for PGCA members to display (and sell) Parker guns at the Louisville Gun show. I will have full detail on this next week (after the Louisville gun show this coming weekend).

The form to purchase tables will likely be mailed in the Summer Parker Pages.

Jent- the Banquet will be the evening of 09/10/2011 at the beautiful Frazier Museum in Louisville KY. More information on this will be in the Parker Pages as well as on the website here.

I would like to suggest to you that since you have such a strong interest in seeing a shooting event at the annual meeting this year, you would do well at organizing one for Friday 09/09/2011. Please contact me on PM and we will work together on adding this to the program.

When we had the PGCA meeting at Louisville last time, I was the event chairman and raised the issue of having a shooting event at a local gun club on Friday morning. Brad Steinfeld, who lives in Louisville, would help make those arrangements. When I posted the matter on the forum, we had very little interest from attendees, and we dropped it. Over and over I was told that members came to buy and sell guns and not shoot, and Friday was a particularly good gunshow day. People were not willing to come early on Thursday either for a shooting event.
So, I understand you are putting the shooting together and I wish you the best, maybe you'll do better at getting it going than we did.

Jent,Josh,Etc.

Yes I'm Lurking!

Regretfully some personal issues did not allow me to help Josh put together some of the meeting logistics here so
I would be pleased to organize a shoot around the Louisville show if there is interest.

The closest clays course is about 45 minutes from Louisville. There is a superb course that's 90 minutes away.

If you wish me to pursue something just let me know.

Jent, I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but suggest you get commitments from shooters before you get too far into it. Last time there we didn't get the interest.

Autumn Daze · 02-26-2011, 12:11 PM

I would think there would be more interest if the event was on Thursday or Friday. Sunday will be a travel day for many folks.

Opening Day · 02-26-2011, 01:22 PM

I think either Thursday or Sat afternoon would be good days. Friday is setup and getting first look at the show and as Dave said Sun is a breakdown and travel day. Eric
