Did Someone Say 3 Gun At the AGC on January 12th?

I did inquire about allowing a food truck also.

Ricks wife used to (at 3 Gun Events) cook pulled pork, brats, etc and ask for a $5 donation. She would just put a jar out and paying for lunch was on the honor system. She quit doing it because she always went home with less in donations than it cost her to buy the food.

Problem with that is too few people have honor.
I think a food truck would be great. No pay/no food.

That would have been helpful for me. I forgot to bring enough ammo but got lucky and another shooter sold me some.

I appreciate it. Maybe $10 per customer?

Me too, but we don't get a vote

You guys!

Quit rubbin' it in! I'm trying hard to stop being such a crybaby and move on from this! (ok, not really :rasp:

)

If this thing does blow up like we want it to (as referenced in the Steel Challenge thread), food is probably going to become a necessity. It wouldn't need to be like a fancy "food truck" food truck (at first, anyway. I have a hunch/hope Jerry Miculek is not a picky eater, but some of those other folks might be). A "gut truck" would probably do for a while. The challenge is whether or not they would get enough business to make it worth their while :tap:

The other challenge I would envision is getting someone willing to sell food and NOT SHOOT! :wtf:

(I sure couldn't do that :innocent0

)

As for Ammo Jon...what's the difference between him selling some ammo and the people who used to (I haven't noticed lately...maybe it did get stopped) have a rifle or two for sale in the Barnes Range House, or the "for sale" flyers in the bathrooms? :shrug:

(I'm sure AGC will be able to come up with a difference :rolleyes:

)

I don't know much about money, but (believe it or not) I do like to think that people are not always deliberately bad. The problem I see with the $5 donation honor system is, what if honorable people put in $5, but unknowingly take $6 worth of food?

If someone could be convinced to do something like that again, with individual prices set at break-even or slight profit levels... :shrug:

I'd be willing to overpay for a sandwich, bag of chips, or bottle of water, knowing the profits went into the Action Shooting fund.

(I know how these things go...

I am absolutely NOT volunteering for the gig...cuz I wanna shoot :gun3:

I don’t believe anyone was asked to not sell anything. I got the OK to approve vendors based on the value they can bring to Action Shooting. We will go ahead and let Jon set up a table and see how it goes.

We can also entertain the idea of having a food truck if someone knows of one. Not sure if anyone will want to do it as it would be a risk the first few times.

Haven’t done 3 gun yet, I’d probably just do 2 gun for now. If I’m doing 2 matches a month I’m going to start ripping through some ammo.

Damn you guys are going to cost me money lol.

It all requires someone willing to do it. She didn’t want to police the money or make it too complicated. It became much more trouble than it was worth. If few full grown men spending $60+ to shoot for a day can’t be trusted to drop $5 in a can, then everybody has to bring their own protein bar.

Hopefully someone knows someone with Food Truck who is willing to take a gamble on is.

All I need is a parking space

Trunk opens and I’m in business. In regards to bringing food let me see what I can come up with.

If you show up in time for the Safety briefing (8:30 am), then I will give you a quick minute to introduce yourself and run through your sales pitch. I doubt you will need to bring any food.

Good ammo, cheap, here

Skipjacks · Jan 7, 2020

I've never done this. At least not outside of a military setting years ago.

I never even heard of it until signing up for this forum today.

I want in. I want to do it.

Won't be at the one on Sunday though. But I'll be keeping an eye out for future events.

boss281 · Jan 7, 2020

When events are cancelled due to weather will a rain check date for that month be issued?

That's the spirit!

If it wasn't 5 days from now and I didn't already have plans I'd just right into this with both feet.

Not at this point but we will discuss it. It is kind of tough this time of year because the weather is so hit or miss.

I could bring beef jerky, cheap knives/tasers from China and turquoise jewelry. It’ll be like a mini gun show

TheRealJimDavis · Jan 8, 2020

I have a friend who likes your matches a lot. I can't make this one, but I'm definitely gonna start 3 gun there. Doing my first IDPA with you guys on 1/18.

Surt · Jan 8, 2020

I'll be at the IDPA this weekend, but also need to pick up the shotgun ammo to start making it out to these. Are mini slugs allowed? The KS7 I'd be brining is unusable even with 2-3/4" slugs.

I’m going to try to grab some cases on Saturday, if not I have some in my personal inventory I’ll probably bring.
