So how are we doing with this meet, any new news?
Things have worked out ok for me and I'm really looking forward to it.
I'll be bringing my only Grendel and a 6.5CM bolt gun for more serious longer-range shooting. I'm just learning with little real distance experience.
I'm wondering what types of shooting we'll be able to try. Silhouettes, rimfire, pistols?
The date's getting close enough I need to do some research on lodging and things to do around Raton.
Randy, This is the itinerary greyfox proposed in the first post; 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!
