throw Your Ideas here. :mrgreen:
Like I said in the other thread, a club flag that we could put up at the monthly shoots would be a cool thing - a rallying point of sorts.
I have offered My Colorado flag before.
I would use the logo that we already have. Looks good to me.
Dern, I gotta type all this again :evil: I will check on a flag/sign this week. My "Dragon Arms Full Auto Shooting Team" sign only cost 50-60$. See the "What do you dream about?" thread in the photo gallery. Also, there is a place here(Springs) that I had the "Rocky Mountain Fifty Caliber Shooters Assn." WWW.RMFCSA.ORG" :mrgreen:patches done. They were 2.00$ apiece,BUT, you have to order at least 100. I would be willing to front the $$$ to have patches made,(and you pay me when you get 'em) if the interest is there.Ryan
Is there a place we can send a donation for the Co. AR-15 Shooters Club Flag? We'll probably need a portable flag pole, Something that will hold up in the wind. Also would it be proper to fly Old Glory at the top of the pole? My friend "Jonathan" ( he's the guy with the 50-Cal. at the north shoot ) makes a killer target stand. If modified slightly it just might do the trick to support a flag pole. Let me know what you need and I'll get on it! Larry [usa]
I already found a place that makes custom flags sent the the COAR15 logo at the top and they are supposed to get back to me in the next day or two. Sounds like it will be around $160. We will need a stand and pole though will let everybody know what they say.Quote:

Dunno, 3X5 is plenty big (maybe too big if we want to put the Stars & Stripes above it), since we're talking a comparatively short pole if it's going to be easily transported. I'm definitely in to help with flag & pole costs.Quote:

How about a shirt or hat that is understated, as in, not screaming out: this guy has a gun under his shirt!
An embroidered knit shirt say, or hat with the logo we are used to seeing in the upper left corner (add a magazine tho, :roll: )
OK, so Why talk about it for those wishing to contribute, PM Me and I'll PM you My address. Send what ever You want, And I'll get the money to Ryan.
Good enough.
I'll do it since our "official" treasury agent is out of town. {Snacko}
In fact I'll be the First, I just sent Myself $25, should be here in a couple of days. [wink]
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...... As far as the length of the pole, We can make it out of PVC plastic pipe w/ threaded connections (4)- 4' lengths should make a nice light weight very portable 16' foot pole. The base can be anchored to the ground W/ spikes and use ropes to teather it to the ground. [usa]Quote:

When I was in the SCA, I had a 24 inch SS spike with a couple of rings in one end about 6 inches apart. Driven into the ground so that the bottom ring was about 4 inched above the ground, it would take all but the real heavy winds.
It used a horazantal pole at the top that 1 large banner banner or 2 smaller banners ( 1 on each side of the main pole ) could be hung from. It had a 8-10 main pole, and the 3-4 ft top pole was held in place by a small plate, with 2 more rings and a stud that was welded in place to prevent the small plate from sliding all the way to the bottom of the main pole.
The main pole was 1 1/2 inch closet rod and could be made from wood or better yet fiberglass.
I have the spike some where, and I also have the stand for use in areas where you couldn't drive the spike into the ground ( like parking lots ) - but, it didn't do so well in the wind.

Your right about that Greg ! We should use something like light gauge steel. Poss. 1" to 1 1/2" Dia. What do you think? :?:
If we can find it, fiberglass would be best.Quote:

Or fairly cheap would be one of those telescoping poles for painting ceilings.Quote:

I may even be talk out of the 6
mast. you haft to supply tripod
and 3 RRspikes.
Talk to me if interested.
Bill
Hey Bill ! That sounds like a great flag pole you got there. I can't picture what it looks like ? Can you attach a couple of 3x5 flags to it? If for some reason it doesn't work out , I have the 8' to 16' fiberglass painters pole. Not too practical to carry it in a car though. In both cases how do you attach the flags so they don't wrap around the pole? I thought maybe drill a hole in the pole and add a eye bolt and connect a metal ring through the eyebolt and attach the flag to the ring. What do you think? Larry :?:Quote:

Two flags yes
Bill
I'd like to recommend we get at least 3 quotes for everything we do.
I nominate Marlin to be the keeper of the flags (he's at all the shoots anyway~) ;)
I also recommend a single flag on a pole (unless the pole we select is strong enough for both)
If everybody wants me to order the flag I already decided to give it to Marlin for the reasons you stated.Quote:

I say we make a pole for two flags we have to have the greatest flag in the world. [usa] [headbang]
The flag/banner is a great idea.
Also, I think we should make up Club t-shirts with the CO-AR15 logo on the BACK to identify "friendly" forces, and plan on wearing them to every organized shoot. I don't want to look like a tool out there like some family at Disney, but at least we won't look like every other yahoo, and will be identified as the responsible guys who are safe and tidy. It is (almost) free advertising and might encourage weekend warriors to join, be more responsible, and possibly seek some training. We did this at my last gun club (Northern Illinois Tactical) and it worked well. We could make a cool understated design in subdued tones like OD or Flat Earth shirts with black lettering. Anyone know where we can get some shirts printed up cheaply?
I wouldn't mind seeing a Velcro backed patch that would fit the 5.11 hats, or even a nice subdued hat with the logo as well. I'd be game for one of the T's if their not gaudy.
Check out this design--pretty simple. If we get a dozen the cost is $16/shirt before shipping.

Interesting.
that's a start..but we's gots to have colour!
The subdued look is high-speed, and full color costs tons more, but whatever everyone wants.
the current logo doesn't look that hot (to me) in subdued. For this, I say color.
now I'm sure we can come up with something else in subdued or maybe modify the current one to make it look better in two tone. Definately need to do away with the 'box' around the logo.
My only suggestion is that we include the website's address on the shirt.
I.e. on the front instead of
Colorado
ar15.com
it should be
CO-AR15.com
thats CO-AR15.COM to you newbies! :twisted:
isn't that what i said? :oops:
sure it is.....4 minutes after I posted :P
My excuse is that I go through bookmarks or email links straight to the board and rarely see co-ar15.com
