Dude - you don't know what you've been missing. The NC gang is the most active group on this forum! We all met through BladeForums. We get together for shows about 10-12 times a year in Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Columbia, SC. We do the whole three days of the Blade Show together. We hit the Southeastern Custom show in Winston-Salem in September. Several of us in the Charlotte area have gone shooting together. I've made some good friends through this place. Here's a list of the "original" NC gang:
Me (Kelly Yates) - Charlotte
DeadinNC (Michael Yates) - Charlotte
Davidb415 (David Baker) - Gastonia
RJT (Bobby Tucker) - Gastonia
Dexter Ewing - Winston-Salem
CPR (Chris Raymond) - Greensboro
Alan Folts - Greenville, NC
Here are several guys that live in NC but I haven't yet met in person:
Howie Lintz - Charlotte
Tobii3 (Dave Tobias) - Ft. Bragg
SmithD (Doug Smith) - Ft. Bragg
ptpalpha (Paul) - Durham
TAutry (Travis Autry) - Smithfield
Blades - Crap! Where do you live Blades?
Several new faces have popped up on the forums in recent months:
Terrill - Charlotte
lobo - ?
