I think I blew about 50-60 9mm, and about 100 .40 (+/- 10 or so) in total on the steel/competitive portion of the day, and about 3 mags of each on the 'test & evaluate' portion.

Cool, I'm interested.
I voted either, but now that I think about it, I'd prefer the second one, only for the sake that I won't have much money to spend on ammo until I have my second paycheck.
Sounds like a good time, hope I can make it.

It is great fun. I don't know if I can make it, but I will try.

It would be great if people showed up early and helped carry targets. They are freaking heavy as I found out that morning when we only had a few people helping. In the afternoon there were a lot more people helping, and even after all day of standing out in the sun it was eaiser because we could spread the load and have two people on each stand.

I use a big wheeled dolly (pneumatic wheels) for hauling most of the heavy stuff around the house due to my bad back. IF I can make it, I'll bring mine. Others could bring something similar, too.

I'm in for either day, and I changed the starter on my truck so it should be available again for hauling steel.

I would like to make it if I can on the 23rd. The 9th is out for me, I am teaching a permit to carry class in Springfield Minnesota that Saturday.

I'd love to come play too! not sure what those weekends will bring for schedule yet - hoping to get in some Lake Michigan fishing trips this summer, so I have to find out what GWOTB (guy who owns the boat) has in mind for schedule. If i'm not fishing or diving, I'll try to make it this time.

One of the best looking ranges I have seen in a long time.

So the plan is June 23rd at noon?
What is the cost for the day? I live about 85 miles away and really don't think I am interested in a membership.
We are we to bring what to shoot?
Just curious as to what you do and how you run it since I couldn't make it last time.

I will help where I can.
Besides what is listed in my sig line, I am also a NRA SO and an IDPA SO, so I could be consider somewhat qualified to work the line.
