Official NC Denton Rally 24-28 apr 2019

[wilfreeman]

I have a suggestion for next year's rally. While I was talking to a few veterans, the howitzer fired. Needless to say, the veterans all took a minute to gather themselves before they continued the conversation. It usually shocked the **** out of me every time too. Would it be possible to have the gun crew sound a warning siren over the PA system for a second before firing the howitzer?

I agree, was walking near by the blank fire area when they fired the howitzer. It shocked me and no one had the option of covering their ears. Lot of people complained. I am all for the blank fire of MGs and cannon and fire my 37mm cannon live at mg shoots etc., but always with a loud "fire in the hole" warning first. They should think about this for next year.

Lol I thought I was the only one being jittery **** near jumped out of my skin every time that thing fired lol.

Yes, that thing startled this Clueless Civilian on more than one occasion.

I could see that becoming a serious issue for our Vets who are contending with PTSD issues.

 

[bikeman]

Yeah, the first one... I don't think I was ok for a few minutes. I swear I could start to feel the pressure wave before the sound hit (by all of 0.5 seconds) as the weekend went on. But yeah, there needs to be a warning for that.

Lance, I paid $50 for setting up and selling from my campsite but had no water/power. I think that they did overcharge you. Sorry. They (the ladies in the booth) seemed to have a very loose understanding and fee structure. I think Jim's guy (for as odd as he was) did better.

Was charged $60 $15 per night no power or water was told it was for 2 people. Next year we need to get a pay schedule ahead of time should not be a big deal to get one. Georgia rally is the same deal like this is their first time.

deuce parts

Not sure were to place this on the forum, I'm reaching out to anyone that went to the Denton NC rally. I am trying to get back in touch with the gentleman that was running the shooting both and that was selling items from a table/trailer for m35s, I was told he was somewhat in part in running this event.
Unfortunately I did not get any contact info from him and am interested in getting a contact number or if he can contact me. so if anyone on this form can help it will be most appreciated
Thanks Wayne

Is Jim Henrys business open during that weekend? I have never gotten down there to check it out yet, and I wondered if I could go by on that Saturday.
