reneet Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Supposed to get thunderstorms tomorrow so the range will most likely be a bit muddy. Bring your cleats. Cold weather following storms - Bring your long johns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb45acp Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks, Renee! I saw the weather and it figures . I went to Orlando, Fl. on vacation the week before Thanksgiving and they had snow flurries . Its been in the 70's here all week and now that I'm shooting it's going to be cold and wet!

This hotel is at the same exit (Airline Drive) as last several years only north of Interstate 20 instead of south. It's behind the Chevron/McDonalds.

southtexaswoman Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Merlin, From the McAllen area you have Mark, Tracy, and Shea Self who are enroute at this time, in their motor home. Bob Bell is already most of the way there. Carlos Guzman and Shane Harbison are leaving this afternoon I think and John Tippitt is flying to the match. As far as I know that is all there are from the valley. Nenette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M118LR Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Mike M, I do not think you will have to wait very long on the bad weather to show up. I am sure it is already there waiting for you. Here in Corpus Christi TX it is 75 degress and sunny. I am sure by this afternoon that will change. Hope everyone has a safe trip up there and good luck. Merlin O, hope you guys stay safe and keep us updated on the Benning match.

BSeevers Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I sit in the hotel drying off and warming up. I was by myself at the range. The range is pretty muddy and was amazingly cold and rainy. Its going to an interesting one. Took an extra 8 hours flying here and barely got out of Dallas beating the ice. The match looks excellent with a good test of skills. There is a moving Plate Rack on rails and another stage with targets targets moving along. 50 yard standards, when was the last time you shot that? Seems to be a general theme of "partially hide a target with a detached stand alone no-shoot" along a lot of stages. Majority of targets are at aiming distances but there are a couple hammer down areas. Looks like an excellent match. Well lets see if I can find the registration hotel.

Chris Keen Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Oh jeeze ...... a little cold weather, rain, mud, and possible ice / snow is nothing to whine about! Try and remember .......

PS Have fun anyways, and good luck! You're going to need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 50 yard standards, when was the last time you shot that? Uh, every Area 4 for the last few years? Good Luck, I'm with Chris on this one, I just lit the fire, and and am gonna sit and watch the snow come down here in Wichita Falls, good 2 inches or so today, maybe 2 or 3 more tonight? Hot cocoa sounds good, alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Capizzo Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 My first stage Friday morning is the 50 yd stds. The prone portion of that stage could be quite refreshing at 25 degrees. Is there standing water on the bays or just good soggy, saturated mud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 We're here.. The only ice on the trip we saw was in the drinks and stuck to some trees. Lotsa wind we hope dies down by tomorrow. Prone in the 25' F mud may make a lot of people reconsider just how important 15 points are to them (the people that can get more than 15 will be doing it anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 DAMN ITS COLD IN SHREVEPORT!!! Left Birmingham and it was 72..now its about 30 with a 20 mph wind for a chill factor of 16!!!! Hopefuly by 1:40 pm Friday it will be back up in the 50's!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
