[QUOTE="top predator, post: 701978, member: 13514"] Getting back from the club board meeting, they said I'm approved for 6 dates for 2013 (4th Saturday of the month) 8:00 a.m. to noon: April 27 May 25 June 22 July 27 August 24 Sept 28 I'd like to have seen a more frequent opening of the range, but I have to take what is offered. All of below subject to change to be finalized in the future, hopefully to be set by February 2013: For right now I think $15.00 for non members $7.00 for members for a fee should be good, they have a kitchen that will be open for breakfast and lunch and has a pretty darn good menu. COF will probably be changed a half of dozen times before the final COF as alot of it will be put together being put into the matches. Better benches and wider groomed backstops are a must along with additional targets to be added, along with keeping open spaces for position shooters. I think for now a timed rotation will work for safety and to keep things moving along, probably 10-15 min each distance to prevent bench hogs and give everyone a shot at the different distances, a cease fire called to tend to any targets that need it (about every 45min). You can rejoin the rotation to shoot more. Plus I think this will work well until I can make sure there is enough room on the firing line and works well with the final COF determination. I thnk this'll also not limit the number of rounds that can be taken, for more trigger time. This may also change as the final COF is set. Should be a mixture of round gongs (18", 12", 8", 6", 4", 3"), steel "zombie silhouettes" (18" square torso, 8" round heads), some steel varmints, and paper targets with backerboards. I'd like to get AR500 3/8" or 1/2" plating to handle magnum calibers, if anyone knows where a few sources of supply of plating that I can get to cut later, I'd appreciate it. Will also get already made to shoot steel targets from the 3-4 vendors here on the site. Without that, magnums may have to be retricted to the paper targets. Thanks for all the forth coming suggestions, I can certainly use your help for popular COF suggestions and any places to get proper material. More to come when everything, including your suggestions, is taken into account. [/QUOTE]
