Sounds like a winner to me. My travel schedule is heating up at work, but I'm sure I can find at least one of the weekends to help with clean up/set up.

Shooters always welcome to camp. It will take at least one and probably two weekends of range cleanup / repair beforehand, though. The winter was not kind...

First thing needed is trash removal, including some downed trees. Then I'm getting a few loads of dirt and renting a backhoe. Finally, new target stands need built.

You'll have to be patient. :rolleyes:

The lead i had on the backhoe is out....you think we should put a feeler out, here, for someone who knows someone with a backhoe and a dump truck?

Let's start with the dirt. Maybe my lawn tractor can push it around...

Camping: plenty of spots ranging from isolated to open. An airstream (sleeps 3 singles) is available. I have lanterns and campstoves for loan, a couple coolers and even a cabin type tent. There is a decent hotel within 6 miles (PM me for info if you need it). Rates reasonable if not a race weekend (bristol).

I'm up for a bolt gun shoot... need to get the dust off my K31!

I picked up an M44, ok as long as I don't shoot it more than 10 times. I may need a Nancy pad.

If we can get a solid group together, a few shovels and some manual labor, we can probably get the dirt thrown around and raked out.......unless I'm underestimating "a couple loads of dirt". I've got a lot of bobcat experience from my construction days if we can find a reasonable rental rate or someone has one to loan. And before I get anyone fired up to shovel and I can't make it to help, the 9th, 10th, and 11th are out for me, but my back and shovel are available other weekends as of right now.

I would be up to drive up one day to help clean up. I'm out of the job right now, so I need something to do anyway...haha.

Easter weekend, so I'm sure a lot of folks have church and/or family activity planned.

I'll be home, campers / range workers welcome, I'm sure there will be a little shooting.

Cody, if you can make it up, bring your carbine - I can supply you a couple hundred rounds in honor of your upcoming enlistment.

Weax: Saturday beautiful, Sunday 20% chance of rain.

Intent: remove trash/brush from range area, plan target stand placement.

if I can source filldirt (any tips?) I'll get it delivered Friday or Saturday.

Weapons available: lawn tractor w/johnny bucket, shovel, chainsaw, trash bags. Stocked broomhandle Mauser and (limited) supply of ammunition if you've ever wanted to try one.

I wasn't kidding about lanterns & stoves; don't go out and buy one!

*** dirt found, dumptruck delivering Saturday***

I had forgot about Easter, Oh well not that Saturday really matters.

Assuming I can be there I will bring a weed eater.

Happy Easter to all... Mike, looking forward to seeing you guys. Coldcuts for lunch, lasagna for dinner, I think that's the plan. I'm real low on woodford, just so you know...

Posted

Well shoot, I won't be able to make it this saturday due to other plans. But I hope you guys have a good time.

Posted

I'd help out, but I seem to be buried in homework at the moment (indefinitely). Hopefully I'll be able to make it up there at some point.

You had to pick easter weekend didn't ya?? Can't make it this weekend. I have a 4yr old to hide eggs for. :cool:

By the way it sounds, there should be another round of clean up right??

Posted

Just happened to be a weekend I can make it home. I know a lot of folks have other commitments - don't worry, there will be other opportunities. :cool:
