<br />
I hope you had a great time as we shot through thousands of rounds of ammo and raised just shy of $2,000 for the Honored American Veterans Afield.<br />
<br />
We hope to have more in the days and weeks to follow but until then, here's a great video that Aaron Woodin put together showcasing this year's GBR!<br />

Also, attendee packets hit the mail this weekend so in the next few days you should be receiving an itinerary and probably a few typos as I couldn't find anyone late Friday evening to serve as a second set of eyes! :)<br />
<br />
A big part of helping the Gun Blogger Rendezvous go off without a hitch is the role that our sponsors like Ruger play. Ruger, in particular, has been very kind to the GBR over the years and GBR XI is no exception.<br />
<br />

Ken from <a href="http://www.ruger.com/" target="_blank">Ruger</a> sent over a number of great prizes to be included in the raffle and some door prize items as well. The backpack style bags are very high quality and there's a duffle included that could serve as a nice range bag or just serve as a supplementary holder for your gear.<br />

<br />
Mike and I have looked over all the survey responses as well and have some things in the works for this year that should allow us to bring in some of the events that scored highly in the survey.<br />
<br />
As usual, the majority of the non-shooting events will take place at the Silver Legacy. We have special group rates that you can get by booking with the group code "GBlog16". To get the group rates, you will have to call 1-800-687-8733. (Sorry, they can't accept our group discount online).<br />
<br />
More news to come as we get event contracts signed!<br />
<br />
As always don't hesitate to drop Anthony a line (anthony@luckygunner.com) or hit up Mike (Mr Completely) with any questions. We're looking forward to seeing everyone in just a few months!<br />

<br />
Mike and I had the chance to talk briefly with a couple representatives from HAVA (Honored American Veterans Afield) and present them with the check for $2794.80 from 2015's Gun Blogger Rendezvous.<br />

</tbody></table>
As you'd imagine, HAVA was very appreciative and passes along their thanks to all the gun bloggers who made the contribution possible. Since the conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan have started to wind down, they've said their job helping veterans has gotten more difficult. They're seeing increased expenses related to travel as they work to get in touch with servicemen and women who have returned home who could benefit from all HAVA offers.<br />
<br />
It's hard to believe but we're only about 8 months away from the next GBR! If you haven't, mark your calendar today for September 8 - 11!<br />

Again, thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored or just watched from afar. We're already making plans for Gun Blogger Rendezvous XI and will have more details on next year's event in the coming months. Until then, look for a few videos of this year's event - including the Gardner Gun's trip through the Silver Legacy casino floor in the next few weeks!<br />

Thanks to Robert Messenger for getting them on board and we're thrilled to have another sponsor of the Rendezvous!</div>

<br />Ken at Ruger sent a big box full of great gear for this year's raffle in support of HAVA. Several Under Armour backpacks and Nike duffel bags that will surely outclass the luggage I'll be packing on the way to Reno! :)<br />
<br />
We're just two weeks out! If you haven't signed up for this year's Gun Blogger Rendezvous, there are just a couple days left to ensure your ammo makes it to Reno in time for the event. <a href="http://www.luckygunner.com/gun-blogger-rendezvous-registration" target="_blank">Sign-up here</a> and get yourself registered for an outstanding weekend with fellow shooters!<br />
<br />
Also, if you're headed to Reno, be sure to book your room at the Silver Legacy if you haven't already. Use the group code GBLOG15 to get reduced rates!<br />

We have a number of other raffle prizes that will be included as well so it should be a decent showing with some great stuff to benefit a very worthy cause.</div>
<div>

<div>
Also, ammo voucher gift codes were sent out today via email. If you haven't received an email to the address you used when registered at Lucky Gunner, please check your junk mail folder. If you don't see it there, feel free to contact me (Anthony) directly <a href="mailto:anthony@luckygunner.com" target="_blank">via email</a>. I will be sending printed packets later this week with the information again so hopefully we'll have all our bases covered in that regard.</div>

I hope you're ready for a great weekend. I spoke with the Rangemaster at the Washoe County Range late last week and he says they're ready for us so it should be a great time!</div>

<blockquote>Not planning to run it (the Gardner Gun) for hours at a time, just burst, so no need to deal with water for it.<br />
<br />
Going to need help getting it into the hotel after the range for the show and tell too.<br />
Some one needs to follow with a camera, the looks on tourist faces as we wheel a Gardner Gun along the casino floor should be priceless!<br />
<br />
I'm also planning to bring the <a href="http://www.specialinterestarms.com/DSC01045.jpg" target="_blank">300 BLK Trecenti</a> again and the new <a href="http://www.specialinterestarms.com/index.php?page=novem" target="_blank">9mm Novem bolt action</a>. If you want to find out just how good your 9mm suppressor is bring it and the ability to put it on 1/2-28 threads. Eliminating the action noise really lets the suppressor work.<br />
<br />
Probably bring the AK-47 FA and suppressed FA 9mm AR-15 too. Might even drag out my old .303B deer rifle for the long range targets.<br />
<br />
I will try to get Brian to come out again and bring his De Lisle and other suppressors to demonstrate too. He's been in the NFA game for decades and has a lot of interesting stories if you can get him to take time for a real interview. Hint, ask him about how you get a demo letter for a post-sample Mini-Gun. </blockquote>And Anthony Welsch of LuckyGunner.com is bringing 1,500 rounds of cowboy .45-70 ammo:<br />
<blockquote>I heard back from our purchasing folks today. It sounds like getting some 45-70 in bulk quantities shouldn’t be a problem so I’ll plan to ship 1,500 rounds or so west with the rest of the ammunition orders.<br />
<br />
I’ll talk with hotel management and ask if they have any special requests for getting the Gardner inside. If some open carried AR’s at a Chipotle can create national news I can’t imagine what a Gardner on a casino floor would do!</blockquote>Me either!<br />
<br />
I doubt Richard will want to run 1,500 rounds through his $24.500 floor sample. I doubt Anthony wants to ship any ammo HOME, so bring your Trapdoor Springfields, Marlin 1895's and other guns!<br />

This year he says:<br />
<blockquote>If I can get some help I might drag out the Gardner Gun and ammo. <br />
45-70 twin barreled brass hand-crank fired fun. Not light, original crew was three guys.</blockquote><br />

We're planning to send an email to everybody who registered in the next week or so with some more specifics but I can imagine many of us are getting things in place in terms of logistics so I wanted to pass along a couple notes below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/04/86/35/2e/silver-legacy-resort.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/04/86/35/2e/silver-legacy-resort.jpg" height="267" width="400" /></a></div>

<h3>
Note on Lodging at the Silver Legacy</h3>
If you're planning to stay at the <a href="http://www.silverlegacyreno.com/" target="_blank">Silver Legacy</a>, our group code is GBLOG15 this year.<br />
<br />
That code will get you a discounted room rate of $59 Thursday and Sunday and $119 on Friday and Saturday nights. <b>To get the reduced rate, please call the Silver Legacy at 800-687-8733.</b><br />
<br />
Once again, the Silver Legacy has kicked in meeting space for us at the resort/casino so we'll have a good central location to gather each night of the Rendezvous.<br />
<h3>
Note on Firearms Shipping</h3>
<div>
The good folks at U.S. Firearms Academy agreed to hold any firearms we'd like to ship in advance of GBR. They are in the process of moving into a second, larger facility in Reno. We're anticipating an address in the next week or two and we'll be sure to share it as soon as we can.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Like last year, they have requested we don't ship any firearms to them too far in advance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
GBR X is getting closer! If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mike or <a href="mailto:anthony@luckygunner.com" target="_blank">email Anthony</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you have any suggestions, don't be afraid to pass them along as well. I appreciate everyone's patience as Mike gets me up to speed on all this.</div>

expected to gather at the Silver Legacy Hotel & Casino as well as shooting

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">"The Gun Blogger Rendezvous has been a project of mine for the
last nine years, and it has reached the point where it needs some additional
quality man power to take it to the next level,” Mike Gallion, competitive
steel shooter, gun blogger and founder of the Gun Blogger Rendezvous said. “The
folks at Lucky Gunner will help this year's Rendezvous to be even bigger and
better than ever, and the ammo bonus makes it almost a 'no-brainer'! See you in
Reno!"</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">This year, as part of an expanded role in
the event, Lucky Gunner is issuing a $150 voucher for ammunition to each media attendee
who completes their registration by June 1. To register for this year’s
Rendezvous, please </span><a href="http://www.luckygunner.com/gun-blogger-rendezvous-registration"><span style="color: blue; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">head here</span></a><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">.

(or accessories) will be delivered to Reno the weekend of the Rendezvous for
attendees to fire or save as they see fit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">“We’re excited to play a bigger part in
the Rendezvous and help support a great cause,” a release from Lucky Gunner
said. “Gun Blogger Rendezvous has been an awesome example of not only the sense
of community that new media and bloggers have with one another but also their
sense of patriotism when you look at the grassroots support they’ve generated
for a handful of charitable organizations in the past.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Registration for attendees is $35 before
June 1, which will help cover the cost of refreshments, some meals and meeting
space in Reno. The Silver Legacy Resort & Casino in Reno is the official
hotel of the Rendezvous. They’ve granted block rates for attendees of $59 per
night on August 20 and August 23 and $119 per night on Friday, August 21 and
Saturday, August 22. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Attendees should also expect modest fees
at local ranges as part of the total cost to attend weekend. There are a
limited number of spots available so interested attendees are encouraged to
register as quickly as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

benefit </span><a href="https://www.honoredveterans.org/"><span style="color: blue; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Honored American Veterans Afield</span></a><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> (HAVA), an organization that aids disabled soldiers as they
transition from military life to civilian life in the United States. Door
prizes, raffles and more during the Rendezvous will benefit the worthy
non-profit. Plus, Lucky Gunner will donate $10 for every registrant that’s
signed up to attend by June 1.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to be meeting with some folks at the SHOT Show regarding the Gun Blogger Rendezvous. I won't go into the details right now, pending their own press release. Here's what I can tell you so far:<br />
<br />
1. There WILL be a Gun Blogger Rendezvous in Reno this year at the Silver Legacy.<br />
<br />
2. The dates have been moved up by a few weeks to August 20th through the 23rd. <br />
<br />
3. The basic layout and activities will be similar to last year. At least, that's the plan so far. Some new things are being discussed.<br />
<br />
4. Our corporate sponsor has been a sponsor of the GBR in previous years, and they have been there in person.<br />
<br />
5. We are working on some possible additional incentives for attendees. (No more hints!!)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
