Well, the polls are closed and it's pretty clear (9-0) that everyone wants the NRA WC in Raton, NM. So I've been in contact with them, and they have an opening we can use the week of Oct. 8th, 2018. They might not be open on Weekends that time of year according to their chef... so I'm proposing the following setup:
Summary of what I need from you now:
1. Head count on who's going. You can bring along spouse/friends etc of course, extra chow will be your costs.
2. Lodging prefs
3. Comments on the proposed program agenda.
4. Fees: Range fees ($15/day/shooter), maybe an entry fee (nominal esp if we reserve a classroom), food (pay to the WC), lodging (pay to the WC). IF you're a member of the WC (not just the NRA) then your range fees will be IAW your membership.
Read on !!!
1. Dates: 2 days, Oct 10-11. We will book and use the High Power Silhouette Range (range 24C if I'm not mistaken). I think I can the range probably closed to everyone else so we'd have it to ourselves. I'm setting the start so that I can get there a day or 2 early and make sure everything is good to go.
We should have a group of 10-20 shooters. I need a head count.
O, and their Exec Director is a Grendel fan!! So I invited him to shoot with us.
2. Food: We'll use their dining facility in the shotgun building, they do a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets with lots to eat, all home-cooked, for $37.50 per day per person. We aren't a big enough group for them to do concessions... but we can byo or see what they have there outside of mealtime. No alcohol in, on, or around the range!!
3. Lodging: 2-days 3 nights. we need to reserve some spaces, they have lots of choices from cabins to "competitors" cabins, to RV and even camp sites. I need to know what everyone will do so I can talk with their Program Director. I'm probably going to go for a founder's cabin b/c of back issues, but if a bunch wants to do that competitors cabin that's a great setup.
4. Agenda: this is what I'm penciling out, let me have any comments or suggestions. Remember I'm trying to keep it a bit modest for this first get-together, I expect we can expand it once we get this one under our belt.
Note: All NRA WC rules and regulations apply!
