Well Ihave a preliminary schedule set up for the GTG..
Saturday Morning
wake up and watch Jim (huntingson) run 6 miles
wait for huntinson to shower
Head out for Breakfast
Double check that noone left Josh behind at the campgrounds
return to campgrounds and get gear together and head out to the 3-D shoot
Hit the practice range and check sights
Draw random teams of 4 to 5 shooters and head out
upon finishing the 3-d course everyone can either take part in an archery "PIG" game or hang out and BS.
head back to camp and eat lunch..and have the Corn Hole competitions with two man teams. also more BS ing and ribbing going on.
After the CH champions are decided Head back to the archery shop for Group walk of the 3-D course (some of the course) and take the "LONG SHOT" Challenge last year we had the 100 yard Elk shot. Germ has to lose his crown from last year
Make up other challenges along the way.
Return to camp for dinner and award/prizes ceremony
More trash talk and BS stories
Campfire with lots of trash talk and ribbing.Adult beverages,ect. Maybe some videos shown of last years hunting adventures.(Bring some of your personal videos to share)
Last year we talked about having a gift swap, but we never did it. This is hilarious after it gets going and I really think we could have a blast doing this. Anyway all attendees bring a wrapped(doesn't need to be fancy,just hidden from sight) gift limited to archery or hunting. Limit is a 10.00 cost. Each person will get a number which represents the order of your pick. The number one picks first and opens item in front of everyone. The number 2 person may take the number one gift or opt to open something else. This gets very funny as it goes down the line.So the high number can take any of the previous gifts for his own and that person opens something else. It's hard to put in words, but this game gets more laughs than any I've ever done. After doing this everyone will want to do it every year from then on. I still get people wanting to know from 3 Christmas parties ago when we're doing it again.
Any other suggestions or comments please post it here.
