kinda looks like mine

Back to the match this Saturday. Looks like the ground will be frozen Saturday morning. That will be good because the thawed ground is like a wet spounge. I will be at the range at 7:00AM setting up. We will try to finish before the ground thaws out.

Good morning Dave. The biggest problem we have at Gallatin is the curent range. We are stuck in a small patch of land, isolated within the TVA compound. Our current membership is at 1000 members with 200 on the wait list. If TVA expands their operation, the range is in danger of being closed for TVA needs. Currently we must drive through the construction area/parking/ construction equipement to access the range. We are looking at possible locations for a new range, off TVA land, nothing in stone yet. I feel if we move, the club dues would have to double to cover cost, that would cause some to drop the membership and other the chance to get in. It would also allow us to design a range that would better handle the different shooting types within the club.(we need a seperate pistol area). We could get bigger and better, it would require a move. I would love to do a regional IDPA match, getting 100 non-members by the TVA gate would be a problem. Alot of possibilites, we will most likely stay where we are as long as TVA will work with us.

The February IDPA match at Gallatin Gun will be 4 stages. About 75 rounds should do it. Stage 1 is barrel city, stage 2 is watch your back!, The newly burned stage 3 is the usually standards drill, loosen up that weak hand, and the always fun and muddy stage 4 shoot house.  :woohoo:

I went out and set up stage 5 today, I hope the grounds firms up before Saturday, it was like walking on a wet sponge

I have sent the scores out to those I have e-mail addresses for.They will show up on the website as soon as Scott gets to it. I was one of 2 people to hit a no shoot, I am sure Justin stapled it in the wrong place. :stir:

Looks like light rain tomorrow morning, I'll bag the targets as I set them up, wear boots and bring some clean shoes for after the match. Their will be a match tomorrow! :rock:

I may have to break out the shorts. High top boots may in order after the thaw. I'll try to stop and pick up some wood chips for stage 4.
