ed_henry Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I am a little slow. I noticed that the Area 8 match is in WV right now August 27, 2021 back in the days of old I shot Area 5 in Handcock County WV. is WV split as to areas or did it move from one to the other?

Schutzenmeister Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 A8, for some odd reason, has been shooting its area matches in WV for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rnlinebacker Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 That range has some kind of exemption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I think they wanted to be part of A8, probably to be able to hold matches like this. And got a exemption to do so. They are like a half mile from the VA line and maybe 30 min drive to Maryland and PA isn't much farther. It makes them pretty centrally located in A8 even though they technically were not in A8.

George Jones Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 IIRC, it's been that way for at least 20 years. That part of WV is so distant from the rest of A5 that they petitioned and were granted allocation to A8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moneypenny Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The folks above are right. it's almost 2.5 hours from the main body of WV. and we are the outlier for Area 5 so the two clubs there are area 8 clubs. they are best serviced by the VA/MD section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
