Interest in a State of Franklin Training Group?

**bulbvivid** · 03-04-10, 19:20

Mods, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

A couple of other members and I have discussed the idea of a State of Franklin (for lack of a better term) training group to encompass the mountain regions of Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and Southwest Virginia, and possibly South Carolina/Northern Georgia if folks there are interested. With the size of those states, the people in the mountainous regions are closer to each other than others in the rest of their state.

I'm posting here to see if there's any interest. If you are from the aforementioned areas, sound off here. If you know someone who is, do us a favor and point them in this direction.

If we get enough folks, we'll go ahead and start a social group and go from there.

I would have some interest in this. There is the NC group but its focused more in the eastern part of the state which can be 5 or 6 hours from us here in the western mountains of the state. Parts of Tenn, SC, and N. Ga. are definitely closer.

If you guys can prove to us the interest is there (i.e. your proposed group has a good chance of being successful) then there is a good chance we can make it happen.

I've PM'd a few other members from the area, including doughnut, so hopefully they will respond.

I'll be happy with a social group where we can at least get together a couple of times a year and do some shootin' and learnin'.

I used Google to search the site for folks in the area, but that may not be the best way to reach everyone at M4C who resides here. It may take awhile, but hopefully we can get something going.
