Memphis area Meet & Greet

[DeepSouth]

Any plans for a Meet & Greet this year?

Don't see why not.

Anyone near go to the Penal Farm gun range? It's been ages since I went there. Wondering if we could set up canopies, tables, grill for a few hours. I hate to drive that far to check on things. Figure someone close by could do that.

Maybe mid April would work.

 The covered range at Shelby Farms, west of the Agricenter closed up 20 years ago.   Not sure if you're talking about that one, or something else.  There is a FOP range around there but it's open only to members. 

Meeting at a restaurant or somewhere like a brewery tap room would require less organization and no reservations or commitments - people could just come and go with no purchase required.   The tap rooms tend to have a fair amount of outdoor seating and plenty of space.

I'm up for it. 

Last time we met at Top Gun on Whitten rd. However, the turn out wasn't much and it kinda flopped. Only 5 people showed up. I'm willing to try again, but hopefully with more people.

It was in 90 to 92 when I went to the penal farm range, We hardly ever travel east on Walnut Grove past Humphry anymore. I lose my driving restriction April 1st and ready to get back on the road. I just can't go far now without a nap.

Id be interested, but with young kids Im entirely dependent on time and place

Top Gun seems like a good location.  Are weekends or weekday evenings better for everyone?

[DeepSouth]

Shelby farms would be better for me. Don't care for indoor ranges.

Deep South: as mentioned before, the Shelby Farms range closed over 20 years ago. Not an option. 

The only other outdoor range around here is MSSA. I suppose that's doable, but they close at sunset and weekends are very crowded. Scheduling could be a big problem. 

I'm free most evenings and weekends. Just set a time and place, I'll be there. 

Frankly, I don't care if we shoot or not. I'm more interested in meeting the people. A restaurant, coffee shop or similar would be fine with me.
