Will ATVs/UTVs be recommended for this range, or can we drive close to all the stages with trucks?

Will there be a need to bring 4-wheeler to access certain stages? It was necessary two years ago, but not so much last year. If I can get away with parking reasonably close like last year and using a 3-gun cart, that would be preferred to hauling the 4-wheeler.

Will there be a secure location where ATVs etc. could be parked overnight, or do we need to load them up each night?

Will there be food and drink available on the range during the day, or do we need to bring our own?

I shot with Team Max at this match. Great bunch of folks. Yes, the mom shot too. The 16-year old unfortunately got DQ'd, but we were incredibly impressed with how he handled the situation. He pled his case to the ROs and Sheldon of his own accord. Kudos to Mom and Dad for letting him handle it on his own.

Are we okay to park a utility vehicle and a 16' trailer at the range for the duration of the weekend?

Is there really going to be a 60 round pistol course, or are you just messing with us? If there is, I'm gonna need more mags quickly. :\

I have not been to this range yet. What will the parking situation be like (how close to the stages)? Also, what are the rules on 4-wheelers/carts/etc.?

Will there be any emails or other notification as to whether our mailed-in application was received? I sent my app in shortly after they were posted, but haven't heard anything since.

What is the aftermath and fallout? Did something happen after the match?

Boy, I'll say.....that was a long ride home.

Greg, many thanks for a great match. Very challenging, especially for those of us that are just office pansies. Two comments: Preferably choose another weekend besides Mother's Day. One week before or after would have saved some grief over being gone for Mother's Day. Would it save time to join the two back-to-back squads into one larger squad? I know you're trying to give folks a chance to go get BBQ and take a break in between, but it might save time by cutting the stage briefings and walk-throughs in half, and there would be more folks resetting between shooters.

Our squad didn't get to shoot it either. Looked like it would have been fun. As I understand it, the reason for throwing out the stage was a combo of the large number of shooters parring out on it, and the reset times were running a little too long. Either one of those alone probably would not have resulted in the stage being thrown out, but with both things happening, it was probably a good call to toss it.

Are wayward out-of-state folks invited? Don't want to crash a private party, but Fox and Hound sounds good.

Okay, now for the important question: who's got a good recommendation for a steak house reasonably near the hotel(s) (I'm staying at the La Quinta, but it's close to the match hotel)? After a long match day, the steak and beer is the thing that puts the icing on the cake.
