Sean.McCanne Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well I'm just about packed up. I need to buy some more birdshot...I just went through a bunch at High Plains. I'll be headed that way on Monday for the RO shoot and then I'll follow you guys around for a few days. See you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sono Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Never been to this one. From what I'm getting after readin the thread I need to leave my cart at home and drive to the stages? Just want to be prepared. Already got the insect repel, and plenty of nervous energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) You would have been able to use your cart on only one stage last year. It was a 200 yard hike down a hill. It would have been a pain to push back up though. At the other stage w/ a 200 yard walk from the truck to the shooting area the terrain was too rough for a cart. I think we're going to see some new range areas this year, so who knows what to expect. Don't forget the ibuprofen.

Blockhead Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Ammo is enroute and tracking for Monday delivery. I'm flying into Nashville on Tuesday to shoot with the other RO's. This match is gonna be great! See y'all on stage 3. Edited April 16, 2010 by Blockhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) I drove past Park City today and rolled the window down. I could here the buzz of skill saws, pneumatic nail guns, and concrete trucks. Stage set-up must be going well.

AFH Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 In addition to the rain gear, I would recommend some knee and elbow pads. Stage setup is almost complete, and things look good. Let’s pray for no rain though! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAC Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I checked the weather today as well and although I am disappointed, I'm up for the challenge, except I don't have waterproof gear that is going to be comfortable in 83 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The current forecast, bad as it seems, has improved from what was predicted the past couple of days for match weekend. Hope it continues to improve. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzworm Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Getting to some stages may be a challenge, especially if we drive through fields to get there. The local farmers may get to make some extra income pulling folks out. Anyone up for a hay ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I had no trouble getting to any of the stages last year in a car. IIRC, there was one muddy section on a road and it was easy to avoid. You have to remember that Andy and his crew have to be able to get the steel into the stage sites and even with 4WD, a thousand pounds of steel makes a pickup unwieldy in the mud.

Dan Sierpina Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The forecast is changing daily. It was much worse earlier in the week. Although, I'm still praying for sunny, warm weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busyhawk Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Done setting up all but 2 stages...MD and set-up staff start shooting today! We will shoot some brush from around the targets for you'all, under the clock of course:-( You can drive pretty close to all stages, a good double rifle case and another bag for ammo is my suggestion. I have a cart here but don't see myself using it. Ticks are in full force...bring the bug spray! RLTW, Scott PS: a couple of shooters have dropped out, some calls have been made to waiting list shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Bug spray won't keep ticks off. I'm coming anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Bug spray won't keep ticks off. I'm coming anyway. Some help to hide you from them. There are a couple things you can do to keep them to a tolerable level. 1) Don't lean on trees, or sit on the ground. Get one of those little $14.00 tripod stools from gander mntn. Worth every penny. 2) Tape the bottom of your pant legs and tuck them into your boots. Great tick control and you get that extra Tacti-cool look as a bonus. (keep your shirt tucked in as well) I also have heard that kentucky Bourbon is a natural tic repellant....If consumed the night before Edited April 18, 2010 by mpeltier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busyhawk Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Just got done shooting stages 1 2 and 3...whew, had to take some targets from both 2 and 3...and yes, you can thank me later for shooting some of the brush away and feeding the ticks:-) slinging a shotgun sounds easy enough, a little hard to move quickly though.

busyhawk Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Just a side note, one of the BRM3G sponsers is Bugband and all ahooters will get a one day supply in thier shooters bag. This is a non-deet bug/insect repelent, please check thier web site for more information. The web site is listed on the BRM3G site.
