On the first Saturday likely there will be some but considering the shortage I imagine by Sunday she'll be as dry as an old bone....

I plan to be there on Friday. First time for me.

I'll miss this spring because of a bad knee and other health issues. Might be able to do it, but my body says no. ...

I hear you. I had spine surgery March 1. My follow-up isn't till the 14th... Dan will be there for the weekend, but is coming back to take me to that appointment.

Till then, I'm still in a C Collar = not allowed to drive. Talk about being Stir Crazy. I wasn't this bad when I had each knee replaced. Now 4 months of nearly total inactivity has me entirely out of shape not just fat. UGH!!!!! I really hope they release me to drive at least.

Been going since 89 only missing a handful of years here and there.

I'll be there Sunday. Not shooting/competing. I only live 45min away, which is nice.

The Hawken Shop will be there this shoot. Find us on traders row. We will be there with David Wright, Art Ressel and the AMMA selling chances for their fund raiser. The fundraiser features a very fine rifle, built from a kit made by The Hawken Shop.

Is there a picture of the rifle on the net somewhere?

Should get there Friday night.

I plan to be there but I haven’t been since I was a kid. Since I’m not a registered vendor, would I get dirty looks if I walk around with a for sale sign on my rifle?

Lots of guys walk around with a rifle over their shoulder and it’s generally understood it’s just as likely for sale as recently purchased. I might not put a sign on it but, as they say, you can until you can’t.

We've sold a gun or two there. Sometimes your best bet is actually selling it TO a vendor, or trading it on another rifle. I wouodnt sweat it.

I have sold there before, I take a 3 by 5 note card with a for sale written on it and tape it to the end of the barrel.

Are any headed to Friendship, Ind., this week for the spring nationals?

I had it planned, and was determined to attend after last year's had to be cancelled due to the state mandates.,,, Was going to still go even after my neck surgery on March 2.. the surgeon apparently didn't check his calendar well enough. I'm still in a c-collar not allowed to drive till Monday. I'm so bummed.!! My 'followup' appointment is Monday Morning.

We just made it up from Tennessee. It's raining hard....wouldn't be Friendship without a little rain.

Floodship.

Good forecast for this time of year.

God willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be there for the first time! Driving 7-1/2hrs from NC tomorrow and probably have to go back Sunday but maybe can stretch it until Monday drive home. Really looking forward to this!

If you haven’t been before you have no idea how much ‘if the creek don’t rise’ actually matters……

Don't buy up all of the black powder. I can't make it to the Spring shoot but I plan on driving in the direction of Friendship in July. At least, leave some FFFg

I have my spot and will be there sometime on Saturday. I want to visit the vendors, buy raffle tickets and shoot the woodswalk.

I am on the way to Friendahip. Look up 511 on the trap range.
