We are discussing logistics for bridge work being done with concrete. Hopefully all possible vendors can be contacted this week and we can have the bridge poured this weekend. If this is done, we will have a better secured facilities plus the neighbors can sleep without the clanking of the bridge at 7AM. The bridge will take a minimum of 28 days to cure.

I can give you some local, reliable concrete contractor names if need be.

I got your message, Michael. I'll call you tomorrow.

The bridge is done!!!!! Well mostly. There are a few finishing touches that have to be done, but it is completely usable.

Also, there will be a USPSA match at NTPS this weekend, so come out and play and drive over the new bridge as many times as you like. I know I have a new found appreciation for that bridge.

You guys are awesome, that bridge is better than ever.

Sorry I couldn't make it down to help out, but please accept my thanks and respect to those who put the time and sweat into building that monster so we all can shoot.

I owe you all a beer anytime.

Let's all get out there and support the 1st match on the range since the bridge has been constructed. I will start a new match thread for you Tim to gain some more interest: nickname = Thread bandit with a sore back(LOL).

MCTS will be on the range this Sunday with range work mowing, weed wacking, chainsawing, etc. Please come out and assist with the last clean up efforts for the year(we hope)!

Great job by the NTPS crew on the bridge. Also a big thanks to the MCTS members who have donated some extra funds to help pay for our share of the rebuild.

Looks great and looking forward to the final touches so we can all get focused back on the shooting!
