Congratulations on a great event Mark, Chi-Chi and @Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS !

Love the stories and information here on AH, but love even more that it is an actual community! Not just a bunch of keyboard warriors

Mark,
You and your lovely bride are terrific hosts. My sons and I greatly appreciated and enjoyed spending time in you home with a great group of like minded people.
Had an enjoyable chat with Stuart from Tally Ho and was pleased to learn more about his operation.
Food was delicious and the atmosphere was comfortable and informative. I wish we could have stayed longer to join everyone on the range, but our long drive home and two college students who needed to get back to school early today precipitated that.
So thanks again for the invite and hospitlity.
Jody, Josh and Nick

Mark put months of preparation into the event. And it showed. A very well organized event.

Prior to Stuart and Rudi’s road trip via rental Jeep from Michigan to Nashville for SCI, I shared our American Freedom curtesy of the 2nd Amendment!

Together they fired,

• 100 rounds 5.56mm in light carbine and heavy Service Rifle (target) configured AR-15’s
• 40 rounds 7.62mm in Armalite AR-10T (Target)
• 100 rounds 5.7 x 28 mm in S&W M&P 5.7 pistol

I offered them another thousand rounds to shoot but their trip was calling…

Mark, I wish I would’ve had more time to talk to those two guys. I’m sure they appreciated flinging lead at will. If I’m ever in a homeless situation, I know where I’m moving into. you and your lovely wife were great hosts.

It is after 1 PM the day following our Tally Ho open house in Michigan and it is the first time I’ve been able to relax in a few days... My wife and I, along with Stuart and Rudi of @Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS want to thank all who were able to attend. We also wish to thank those who were too far away but desired to be here! Thanks to @Altitude sickness and others who donated gifts for the raffle. Sorry folks, I can't remember everyone who bought gifts since there were many! Finally, many thanks to @skydiver386 and @Racer00 for driving four hours each way to attend!

Get togethers such as this provide the opportunity for almost overwhelming discussions with like-minded persons. It was so great to meet AH colleagues face to face and converse about hunting, rifles, and so on. I look forward to meeting other AH colleagues at SCI!
