Hicksville Planning Committee (HPC)

[Vaquero]

Being one of the few TGT members that has not made it to Hicksville (yet), I was wondering, is there a possibility that we (TGT) could out grow the facility?

Yes.

 

[BIGPAPIGREG]

Yes.

what then???? Has any thought been given to other larger places, if and/or when this happens? Just curious, not looking to step on any toes or rub anyone the wrong way.

We want to stay at Hicksville. We either grow the venue ( not our call) or limit attendance.
Committee is considering these scenarios and Hicksville owners will be contacted for input.

All we got for now, as far as info goes.

10-4, thanks Lee. Like I said, just curious.....it looks like this sucker is evolving nicely.

It would be quite difficult finding a range that will let us set off explosions, fire full auto guns, shoot large caliber guns, etc. Hell, it seems like more and more ranges don't want anything bigger than a 7.62 round being fired and its gotta be in one second intervals.

Also, if it weren't for the Hicks being so accomodating and lenient to begin with, we probably wouldn't have grown as much as we have. The HPC recognises this and would PREFER to keep it at Hicksville. So we are going to see what steps we can take to help JD expand the range.

I've already talked about this with him and we will probably start getting out there to help out in a month or so. I know once the school year is over, my time and affordability of things goes up, so I know I'll be out there more for sure.

I'm in for helping out however I can with improvements to the range. Like you mentioned, once school is out (since that's where I work), I'll be more free to help out barring any unforeseen changes in plans (switch jobs, etc.).

I'll operate some of the equipment

any thoughts of putting together a work weekend? Might be able to get a group together and be able to knock out a few projects at one time......just a thought.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

I'm glad to see the volunteers!

Clarke-I remember you mentioned being able to rebuild the cylinders on his tractor. I was thinking maybe you and I could tackle that one weekend. You grab one cylinder, I'll get on the other. I let JD know that at a minimum-I could do that with no problem. He said he's gonna look into getting some seals.

Right now, I've gotta go talk with JD a little more and see what he thinks as far as getting materials together, and then what the weekends look like. I'll probably put a thread together soon asking for volunteers and we can see who can make it and who has what skills to offer. Let me finish getting a game plan together, first.

Sounds good. I've got a ton of woodworking tools and two 4' high boxes of various hand tools. I've also got two enslaved 17 year old boys that I can provide with shovels.

I think this will not only be a great way to make sure the range is able to keep handling shooters in the future, but also show JD and Judy our appreciation for putting up with us. lol

Set up a Paypal account to make easier to submit donations.

 

[MaddogOIF]

I think it would be helpful to put out a thread with a list of volunteer positions needed and whatever funding could be donated such as food, prizes, tannerite maybe even making a donation for ammo for some ammo some of the more fun guns.

If you guys are headed to Hicksville to work anytime let me know. I am in if I am in town.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

I'll put a thread up a few weeks ahead of time so everyone can plan ahead. Thanks for volunteering!

You need o-rings, quad rings etc? Let me know - I've got thousands of them at work.
