Proposal: 1st Annual National Sig Arms 556 Meet & Shoot
So... I'll just submit this for your consideration...
WHAT
A chance to get together in-person as a group, all in one place, for a limited time (long weekend?), do some shooting, learn from each other, and have some fun at the same time.
WHY
Provides an opportunity to share experiences in real-time, meet, shake hands, crack jokes, thank our LE/MIL folks in-person, barter items, attend short presentations/best practices sessions by some of our esteemed SigArms556.com forum members, and maybe include friendly Sig 556 related vendors for same.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Choose a convenient city/town (jurisdiction) where our firearms enthusiasm (and the 2nd Amendment) is appreciated and welcome. Allow the local municipality (and politician?) the opportunity to host this "convention" and benefit from our patronage. Group rates, sufficient rifle range(s), convenient to air/car travel considerations, et cetera. California is probably out.
INVITE SIG ARMS
Get Sig involved and invited. Allow them to consider the opportunity to speak directly with their enthusiastic owners, possibly provide discounts, and/or direct dialog with constructive feedback. Possibly invite other vendors and/or like-minded businesses to share information (garner our attention) in exchange for a door prize or two, i.e. sponsor opportunities could be an option / or not.
POSSIBLE TOPICS FOR SHORT PRESENTATIONS
... Strip Class (field strip/cleaning, mechanical, troubleshooting, things we have found that work best, gotchas, practical tips when servicing & maintaining the various Sig 556 rifles & pistols).
... Group Therapy (introductory zeroing, sights, optics, shooting posture, basics).
... Accessories (pros/cons on rails, bipods, mounting solutions, magazines, buttstocks, lasers & lights, grips, mods, weight/balance considerations, and installations).
... Ammo (choosing the best round for your needs, reloading recommendations, using a chronograph,
... Repairs & Maintenance (scheduled maintenance based on round count & service use, discussion on wear, what to look for, and must have spare parts)
... Shooting match, raffles, demonstrations, and others
The concept is embryonic at best, limited only by our imagination. This could prove to be something very valuable for many forum members.
