Great NW Washin' Machine and Cannon Shoot - The Firearms Forum

armedandsafe · 11-28-2003, 11:56 AM

I just posted a sign-up sheet in the "Events" forum.

OK, so we can't post in the events forum. Completely missed that little fact. Here is the squib I posted down there.
__________________________________
We don't have a date, we don't have a location, we don't know who is going to show up,,,yet. Last year's shoot was a rousing success and was enjoyed by all. Ysacres hosted the event and was greatly appreciated by all. A more gracious host will be hard to find.

Sign up here and give us suggestions on location and dates. Memorial Day and Mid-June have been suggested.

There have been a couple of prizes donated already. If you want to donate something cool, desirable or humorous, let us know. We don't need to know the contents of the prize, if you want to keep it a surprize.

Whew! I tried ti sign up, but couldn't. I thought I did something wrong.

armedandsafe · 11-28-2003, 09:06 PM

My Bad. I hadn't even thought about that. I know we can't post in the buy/sell, but never thought about that in the events.

OK, we will put up the stuff here.

Just moved the info in the events post to the first of thhis thread.

Smokin Guns · 11-29-2003, 03:54 PM

Pops let me know where y'all decide...I'll contribute a cup'la targets...

pete1 · 11-29-2003, 08:22 PM

Howdy Mr Armedandsafe. Pete1 here,finally dropped in the site and I see we are trying to set up next years washing machine shoot.Memorial day would be good but I guess we need to make it work with Ysacres schedule. Sure enjoyed the meet this year and I intend to be there again if possible.Coyote said something about multiple cannons next time so it sounds like a fun time.
Hope this missive finds you well and happy, enjoy the festering season, oops, I mean festive season and I hope to see you again next summer.

Artillery Mech · 11-29-2003, 08:57 PM

I got to ask, are there any hotels nearby? I'm a single parent of two girls. My eldest daughter has cerebral palsy and doesn't do well without a bed.

armedandsafe · 11-30-2003, 12:00 AM

Ysacres place is just outside Pullman and there are several nice motels with w/c access there. Coyote has put up the possibility of having it near his place, where there are some nice places, too. If we use Moses Lake, there are several nice places, too. Shooting facilities are not so good here, but we could figure something out, I'm sure.

Coyote has said he will have a rifle or something for the raffle and I will put up at least a powder horn, made especially for the event (know what a pimp-horn is, anybody?

)

Pops

Artillery Mech · 11-30-2003, 02:47 AM

If this is done on days my girls are off from school, I'll be there!

If was only me, I'll sleep in my truck. However, my older daughter is a bit of a miss priss.

I have an old computer and maybe a printer to donate. There's a possibility that I can come up with a washmachine too.

Out of curiosity, where does the proceeds of the raffle go? I can usually come up with something to donate when it comes to a good cause.

armedandsafe · 11-30-2003, 02:30 PM

Hadn't really thought of the raffle in those terms. Last year, the cost of a raffle ticket was showing up.

I do know hosting the event was not free on Y's wallet. Hmmmm...Coyote?

Pops

Lowrider · 11-30-2003, 02:50 PM

Count me in on this one. I crapped-out last time and have barely been able to cope with the shame.

I'll leave the bike home this time and drive the Jeep. Lots more room for shootin' irons.

Grunt · 11-30-2003, 03:00 PM

Shoot 2003

coyote 270 · 11-30-2003, 03:40 PM

Last year we just had the drawing at the Saturday Night Dinner, Cedar Salmon, or Cedar Plank Salmon, or Cedar Chest Salmon, err, what ever it was it was Excellent. Havent heard from Ysacres yet, so not sure about anything yet.

riderbob · 12-02-2003, 12:24 PM

This time I think I will fly. I have an aquaintance who will give us a lift. We had a hoot last year. I will most definatly bring my son. We look forward to it again. I have no prefrence on dates, I might be changing jobs and will have to work around that schedule.

armedandsafe · 12-02-2003, 08:45 PM

YAHOOOOOOOO! We gotsa HOME! Y's, thank ya ver' much, indeed. OK, we've got a plan, now we just have to figure out how to get a washer and dryer from Ohio to Pullman.

Maybe SG could put them in IBs big rig and pickup piggy on the way.

Tell Mrs Y's we REALLY appreciate her patience and understanding. What's that you say? She's going to Hawaii for that weekend?

Pops

riderbob · 12-03-2003, 03:37 PM

Now all I have to do is make the arrangements. I talked with the wife and she would love to go again. We normaly go camping with her family on memorial day, but she says we can miss it once and a while. As the date gets closer, plans will get clearer.

Oh by the way I got the job and I get my weekends back!!

Rider

Smokin Guns · 12-03-2003, 06:04 PM

'course if IB comes though this way...i'm a'thinkin' we'll load up and i'll stow away out ta y's place...Law'd a'mercy it'll bee a guut time...

coyote 270 · 12-03-2003, 07:58 PM

OK, now we are Cooken. Was waiting to hear from Ysacres, for dang sure didn't want to invite ourselves to his place again. But, now that it is a Go, Well YEEHAWWW. We will have a bigger and better selection of Prizes for the Grand Give Away Dinner and Spud Gun Festival Shoot Out.

armedandsafe · 12-03-2003, 07:58 PM

I have posted a tentative roster in the first message. Let me know PM or email if you want changes, additions. I'll be going in on Friday evening, after evening route, to help Y's set up.

Incidently, if you have yahoo Instant Messenger, I'm know there as <rifler39@yahoo.com> If I'm on line, I'm signed in here and there.

Pops

Grunt · 12-06-2003, 03:10 AM

I'm going to put in for vacation for the shoot..no guarantees I will get it though. Looking forward to seeing the members who was there in 2003 and also to meeting the ones who weren't.

Artillery Mech · 12-06-2003, 12:02 PM

Ah gotta ask this... Iffen Washingtonians shoot washin machines for their shoots, what do Texans shoot? Tex(t) machines?

In honor of our Texas members, I'm bringing a printer to the shoot.

stash247 · 12-08-2003, 08:04 PM

We shoot rifles, pistols, revolvers, shotguns, cannons, mortars, and burglars; a washingtonmachine would be a delight. Please bring Model DC.

Smokin Guns · 12-09-2003, 06:16 PM

SG, Is makin' a plan...going to try to be there. Have to drive...'cuz i wants to bring my own "Shootin' Irons"...Never been that far Northwest anyway (good excuse to go)...
