"unlimited extreme..." being a probable source of confusion, changed to Unlimited Range Shooters Association (URSA) and unlimitedrange.org.

My sincerest apology for the confusion. Hopefully less now.

What do you plan on covering during the meeting considering its gonna be spread out over 3 hours or so?

Is there a specific set of topics you are looking to address ?

 

[JLR]

From their website......

Meeting Agenda (tentative):


I Introductions (including a brief presentation, "Possible Proof of Concept Activity")
II Association's Objective, Focuses, and General Statement of Purpose
III Structure
IV Definitions/Descriptions
V FAQs
VI Work to be Done
VII Breakout Sessions for Working Groups and Regional Leaders

 

[Lowlight]

That doesn't really say anything of value, if you want 3 hours on Tuesday of SHOT Blocked out, it needs to have substance.

Who is speaking, what is their background in this ? etc...

Who have you brought in besides DTA ... stuff like that, I want details not bullet points with vague stuff like FAQ...

Here is FAQ, why do I want to cut into SHOT For this .... ? Sounds to me like this could be discussed over a drink at bar.

Here is FAQ, why do I want to cut into SHOT For this .... ? Sounds to me like this could be discussed over a drink at bar.

Click on the "About" link at the bottom of the Home page (www.unlimitedrange.org). The noted "Straw Man" is a proposal. The vast majority of the time will be for the noted Working Groups to work through as much of the proposal as possible, i.e., review the work group's particular part(s) of the Straw Man and "semi-finalizing"). As noted on the About page, it is hoped that NLT 14 Feb we will be able to finalize everything needed to move forward with avctivities/events.

Why SHOT? I believe it is the best, highest profile (as in get the word out) opportunity to bring together likely "interested parties".

So far, as noted on the Association's Home page, there will be only one "presentation" (other than reviewing the Straw Man and asking for input from those in attendance), tenatively titled "Possible Proof of Concept Activity". That presentation will be by Rob Vestal (Excaliber).

 

[ELR researcher]

The Agenda has been expanded/sequence changed and substantial additions/changes have been made to the "About" page.

Those interested in helping move this group forward are asked to check out the expanded agenda and review the About page addition/changes - then either attend the meeting of contact [email protected] indicating where you are located (state/country) and how you'd like to help.

Thank you and God Bless!

URSA Organizational Meeting: Update (19 Jan 2014)

URSA Organizational Meeting: Update (19 Jan 2014)

An organizational meeting was held on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 during the 2014 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Notwithstanding very high hopes for attendance by interested parties, only two small groups participated, a total of 5 people. One of the groups was from Nevada and the other was from Virginia. [I was hospitalized from the prior Saturday (due to a losing battle between car and pedestrian, me) and did not attend.]

Virginia’s Mr. Rob Vestal of Vestal’s Gunsmithing & Custom Rifles ran the meeting. Rob subsequently agreed to act as URSA’s Regional Director-East (RD-East). He has also agreed to do some reformatting of a previously-planned, Virginia-locale, unlimited range (UR) “fun shoot” into URSA’s introductory “demo” event. The associated AccurateShooter.com forum thread is at http://forum.accurateshooter.com/ind...opic=3831513.0. The URSA “Concept” document (previously titled “About”) will be the structure for at least some substantial portion of the shoot. Achievement recognition points will be recorded. Rob can be reached at [email protected].

Supporters are encouraged to provide their company logo for inclusion on the Supporters page. “Supporters" are those associated business entities which substantially endorse the “Concept” as presented and the advancement of this sport shooting discipline through this association.
