I think I'm off Thursdays at that point so I can likely make it.

So who wants to pick up an old man and his wheelchair. Must have a car I can get in and out of. Would love to come.

I'll be there. Lots of us have been talking about this for several years. Here's your chance! I'm not sure if I'll do any shooting. I'm much more interested in getting to know other TGO members and talking. But I might bring a few guns just for show and tell. If I have something you'd like to see or even shoot, just let me know.

I have organized a Meet & Greet. I talked with Top Gun on Whitten Rd and told them this was a 1st meeting, to check if any interest in the West TN area. Top Gun suggested using their BBQ restaurant, then there is no room charge. If anyone wants to shoot that would be the individuals choice, i.e. not part of the meet & greet. The range closes at 8p, the restaurant begins to shut down about 7p. Thursday, June 6th, 5:30 to 7pm. Come and go as the you please. Eat if you wish. I encourage you to purchase something from restaurant. If you want to stay later that's OK also. Request you RSVP on this thread, therefore I will have a general idea how many are coming. Location: Top Gun, 2770 Whitten Rd, Memphis TN 38133 Time: 5:30 to 7pm, Thursday, June 6, 2024 Cost: $none, I encourage you to purchase something at the restaurant.

I don't do restaurants except call in/carry out. Maybe meet at a park. There's a lot to choose from. Grill lunch if we have too. I'd bring a grill, charcoal, table, a couple of chairs and a cooler for drinks.

Pm sent about meet and greet

No reply yet. Try to get there this weekend.

The manager wasn't there Saturday. I left my phone number so he can call me later.

Not much going on here. I shoot at Sardis, MS, McLver gun range. $20 for half day noon till evening. Pistol and 100 yard rifle bays are covered and next to each other. Longer range a walk or short drive. Skeet, trap and archery areas too. I can check to see if we can set up canopies and grill for a meet.

Personally, I'd prefer we all just gather at a restaurant or such where can can relax, talk and get to know each other. But I'm open to just about anything. I'd really like to meet the local TGOers. As I've said before, nobody seems to want to take the lead and organize some type of meet. I'm no good at such things. Anybody wanna take charge?

I wouldn't rule out MSSA since there seem to be a few guys who are already members here. As an alternative though it might be worth looking at setting up a private class/group event through some place like Topgun Memphis if we can get 8 or so guys together. Run a class together and have a meet & greet in the attached restaurant afterwards or during the class break.

They have matches like USPSA and Steel Challenge that are open to the public. I'm not sure what the criteria are for hosting a non-member event.

Really? Last I heard it was close to a thousand bucks to get your foot in the door there, and four hundred a year after that. They just let any old riff-raff in off the street? If you can get them to let us have a little meetup there, that would be cool. I think the main problem is that people just don't check this forum that often. There's got to be a way to organize...

A couple ideas. Maybe we can do a weekend get together at MSSA for those of us who can make it. They have all kinds of events open to non-members and there is plenty of space. Bring a lawn chair and maybe a cigar and we'll hang out. If we get enough interest, I am happy to go to the club management for approval. We could also have another event during the week, maybe one evening, at a tap room around town. Restaurants are complicated. I know not everyone drinks beer, but tap rooms are a good venue to people to come and go as they please, and many of them have room inside and out. The Ready Room tap room on Brookhaven Circle off Poplar is a good centrally located one, and food and non-alcoholic drinks are available.

The problem seems to be that nobody wants to take the lead and set something up. I'm afraid I'm not any good at such things. I wouldn't even know where to start. Is there one organized person in the Memphis area?

I'm in! But this has been tried before and never pans out. Maybe this time?

Say when and where and I’ll be there. Retirement it’s perks.

I'd be up for one.

Shame that this hasn't gone anywhere since early 2020. Anyone near Memphis still up for a meetup and range day?

I’m an hour out, but if it’s where I could.. I’d attend

Surely there's one organized person in this area? C'mon, speak up!

Bump.

I'd like this! Even if it's a pretty small one.

Bump.

Just found this. I think we had a statewide meet and greet somewhere years ago? I haven't been on for a while, but I see a lot of people are still on that I remember. I would go to a local meet and greet.
