Yup. Yup. I'm making it official:

Nostrich range day, October 13th at the end of Scotia Shooting Range. Time TBD based on range opening. (Sundays are usually a delayed open to be polite to neighbors.)

40°46′21.54″N, 77°57′53.95″W

Bring your own guns. I'll bring some of mine. Never shot a gun? That's fine, too. I'll walk you through everything you need to be safe and have fun. I do have extra eye and ear protection, but, depending on how many people are coming, we'll need to figure that out.

Might this be the first nostrich range event? I hope so. That would be rad!

If you're interested in the let me know. I'd you know anyone that would be interested, let them and me know.

More to follow.

Maybe for me!

Please do, if you can!

I don't have a gun but I will be at the Nostr Valley event

You don't need one. I have enough to share. 😁

Cool! Then count me in 90%

I'll take it!

🫂

Bring friends, even if they don't come to nostr valley. 😁

I can recruit at the event? It's the day after right? I need to look at the calendar and figure out the logistics

Sure, why not? I'll be doing that, too. I have no clue how many people are signed up to go the Nostr Valley event. That's a question for nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uwrrtwk, probably.

Noted.

We should get a Telegram group going. Will do that soon. I'll check numbers tomorrow.

Telegram...

Yup. That works for me. 😅

If nothing else other that to tell France to go do anatomically improbable things to themselves.

👀😂 We can't have noobies using Nostr yet, but yes I feel that.

It is what it do be. Nostr will be built better by people who want to not use worse stuff.

Hell yeah. Better groups are just around the corner.

I'm very much looking forward to that since I think that will be super helpful for nostr stuff.

We live to far away to make it but great idea. Hope it’s well attended!

I do, too. Nostriches need guns, too. 😁

We have those. 😜

Good.

I would definitely come if I were anywhere near the same longitude

Have fun!

I would love to have you if you were. 😁❤️

Do you have a dueling tree or any reactive targets, or is it paper only?

Paper only, but I'll check the rules. There is some variability in rules per site.

Full auto OK? Or just link the rules if they are posted somewhere.

I'll have to find the rules site.

Full auto is nearly definitely a no, which does suck. Also, it would be nice to not involve any nosy local contabulary, even if it is legal/permitted.

I get it 🤣, I’ve had plenty of those. I’m 50/50 on going but only because I use up a lot of marital good will on my hunting trips in oct/nov

If you do, you'll be welcomed. But I get it.

Ok thanks for posting this

You're welcome.

It's good to refresh my own understanding of the rules so I can at least break them cleverly.

Sounds like it'll be a blast. Wish I was closer.

Organize one local to you.

No one lives close to me.

That honestly sounds pretty great... 😅

I live in town bro, I meant nostritches dont live close. I go shooting with my buddies, not all is lost.

Gotcha.

My goal is to not see my neighbors. 😅

Mine also. I got forced into moving back into town into a year and a half ago. I'm looking for a place out in the country, it's not easy.

That sucks. I bid you good fortune in your search for land to call home!

Too far for me too nostr:npub1q6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqhtt3sh but I'm sure you'll have a great time!

Thank you.

I will, for I'm sure. Even if it ends up just being me. 😎

Oh I wish I could be there 😍

I would love to have you here, too. Especially for this. 😁

Don't let infiltrators steal your 'N' and accuse you of violence. Giant red letters:

TIME TO HUNKER DOWN, AMERICA. A NEW TERROR IS ON THE PROWL 'PANDEMONIUM!' NOSTR'S INFAMOUS 'DAY OF RAGE' BURNS INTO THE EVENING AS LOCAL ONLOOKERS FLEE. STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED, PERPETU-CURFEW INVENTED

Does my post seem like a good spot to go all-cappy? Please refrain from doing that on this post. It's... Silly and out of place.

EVIDENTLY WE HAVEN'T MET

No. I tend to avoid people who are all caps, all the time. I'm too chill and that harshes my vibe, man.

I wish I was in a closer time zone! I'd definitely be there!

I'll say it to you, too: organize your own!

The nearest Nostriches to me are about 5-6 hours away.

We're putting in those distances. 🤷‍♀️

NOO I'm going to at a wedding that weekend. This is awesome!

Dangit.

I was gonna DM you about this. 😅

I know, would have been perfect

Well, we just need to have our own range day.

Tell them to reschedule the wedding lol.

Nice!!! I’ve shot guns before but it’s been a long time!!

Well, it's time to do it again!

Absolutely! I hope I can figure out my transportation

Your home town is outside of the range I can do for that day, especially if I'm carrying all the supplies for the next day... 😎

I’ll figure something out! I want to be there!

I really hope you do!

Hmmm... Are there trains from Ithica to NYC?

It's a roundabout way, but, you could hop a ride to NYC then over to PA on the trains and then I can give you a ride.

I don't know if there would be any connectors to Philly. If there are, then that's more direct.

(I'm not in Philly, thank God, but, it is a major hub and pretty much everyone knows where it is.)

There isn’t a train! There should be but there isn’t! There are busses though 🧐 I’ll try to rent a car and maybe stop at a monastery as part of my trip as well 😇

That would be pretty cool!

Is the location set in stone?

Yes?

It's close to the venue for the Nostr Valley event the day before.

Do you have anywhere else in mind or another suggestion?

I wasn't aware of the Nostr Valley event.

No, it's just a long drive is all. I was gonna suggest the Long Island Shooting Range or Calverton Shooting Range but I know that no one will drive out that far to meet someone (me) that they don't even know.

Eh. I would. Especially if it involves a range day.

It's not till October, so I'll be on the lookout. Just wanna wait and see who else will be going. No offense😁.

None taken.

What a great idea, awesome you set this up. I'd go but out west, maybe in future out here too!

Yup. I hope this grows, since people from all over the world would be able to come and try shooting stuff to both see how fun it is and simply as an education tool. Everyone needs to know how to safely handle a firearm.

No doubt!

Mornin'!☀️

So, how's this comin' along?

A few are interested. It should be a thing. I have some work to do figuring out how to coordinate it if the group gets larger.

Glad to hear it😎! Luckily you have over a month to figure that out.

Yes, except that if enough people are interested, I have to go through the process to reserve the range and that needs to happen no less than 20 days out.

There's not enough marketing going on for nostr valley, so it's hard to get all eyeballs on Plebs and Pews stuff, and it's also impossible to figure out how many people are going to show up. 😅

How many people are going to nostr valley? Or is there no way to know that with certainty either?

In true decentralized fashion we have people signed up via multiple methods. It's probably somewhere around 40+ right now. But I've also had people tell me they're coming and they didn't register. So there's that. I'll get a more accurate count soon.

Yup. That's what I figured.

We really need a thing for events that integrates with a nostr-based calendar.

This is partially my fault for using Eventbrite and Facebook because I wanted non Nostriches to see the event too.

You're putting on an event. You will obviously use any and every means at your disposal to promote it.

It's not a problem. It's just that it is slightly inconvenient for people like me who decide to do stuff on their own. 😅

This is such a newb question but how do you highlight people's names like that😁?

Type @ then start typing their nym, select it and boom.

That's how it should work on most clients, anyway. If not, go to their profile and copy their npub then paste it after an @.

Thanks👍

At least five people.

👀Wow! So, like this an Academy Award level event?!

We have an award for you 😏

In what category?

Optimism of course 😁

I already came up with my acceptance speech: thank you... and goodbye👋😁!
