I'm looking for 1-2 good men, or women, to join me at the Triangle Pit in the Capital State Forest this Saturday, Aug 15, 2020. I need someone to ride shotgun with me.

I'll be there at 8 AM till 12 Noon. Here's what's up...

I'll be setting up a canopy at the entrance and stocking it with information about responsible shooting on public lands. As shooters come by, we'll hand out Trash No Land fliers "Target Shooting On Public Land", DNR shooting rules, free paper targets, free ear plugs, free trash bags and a free cup of hot coffee.

If anyone brings back a bag full of trash, I'll take it and Trash No Land will pay for the disposal.

We briefly chat with fellow shooters about being responsible and encourage them to help us keep our good places to shoot open. We also encourage them to sign up for membership on WaGuns (would be nice to have some cards or flyers). We don't want to delay their recreation, so we keep it short and sweet. They quickly get the idea and we started the wheels turning.

Quite often we get the opportunity to visit with newbie shooters and that is really our target audience (because the new shooters are usually ones who don't know about any rules for shooting and what to look for when shooting on public land).

I say ride shotgun, as in please open carry handgun. Not that you'll need it, but more to show others that we are shooters to. They tend to be more relaxed in the conversation and more receptive to our message.

I'm only asking for WaGuns members and Trash No Land members and hoping to get at least one, preferably two members to join in.

Also, I'd like to display a WaGuns sign in the booth. Even one of those WaGuns cleanup signs would work. Just something to show that it's a WaGuns and TNL grassroots effort.

Post up or PM me if you can make it.

Thanks,
Bill

I'll be there. I don't have a pistol, but if nothing else I can be a 'new guy' being a good role model of safely shooting and being a steward of the range. An advocate.

I've been using this to get the steel cases to include some shotgun shells and other assorted ferrous metals.

Can't make it to CHF though.

That's a good tool. Saves the back. I use the small round one with the release handle and saves a lot of back bending work!

I’ve got the 30” model, it works ok but needs taller tires...
This function is to make people aware of the do’s and don’ts of shooting on public/private property, not a cleanup.
