Sarge Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yeah, that fatigue issue is my biggest concern. I would hate to fork out the entry fee, gas money and motel costs only to be forced off the range by my moody back. Glad you mentioned this. It is worth noting that there is a pretty good size hill that has to be climbed to get to the upper bays. It is a paved road but it's just steep. There will be range transportation of some kind on hand to assist anyone who needs it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Man up Shirley ....... as a competitor, you only have to go up that HILL once. All the RO/staff from Ohio is man enough to do it multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranDoc Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The really lucky squads/staff get to climb the hill up to stage 4/5 twice AND walk to the far end of the rifle range twice. Depends upon where you start and where you are when lunch is called. Ask me how I know this .... Hydrate, snack to keep your energy up, hydrate, bring an umbrella for shade or make a point of hanging out under the tarp/in shade when you're not shooting or pasting targets, hydrate, use sunblock, hydrate .....

Chris Keen Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Well, let's not scare everyone out of signing up. We're trying to get more shooters, not less. Folks, this range isn't all that big. And we're doing everything we can to squeeze 1 more stage in this year to bring the total number of stages up from 8 to 9. This should be a great match, so let's not worry about how big/little the hill to the upper range is, or what stage you start / finish on. I've been shooting monthly club matches there for about 6 years now, and not once have I said "Boy, that hill just kicks my butt". It's just a part of life. And the match staff who work the stages on top of the hill will more than likely be able to drive their POVs up there, and park them close to their stages. There is also a port-o-let up there, as well as a covered firing line for shade during lunch, or just to take a break. It's actually the nicest scenery on the whole range, with the mountain-side overlooking the range. We've seen deer walk right up to the edge, and look down, while we were between shooters before. So, that's kinda neat! So come on everybody ...... we're trying to hit 200 paid shooters, and so far we only have about 2, so PLEASE, GET THOSE APPS IN PRONTO!

BDCooper Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The hill is great exercise. The range is really unique and I really enjoyed getting a chance to be at the buckeye challenge last year. This is a can't miss match if you are anywhere near Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Between Chad an I...we might be up to 3 sets of lawn darts. Maybe we should set up a side tournament at the match hotel ?? (not the range...we need beer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
