I hear Acetylene works quite well, that's what I hear anyway   ETA: not the entire cylinder |
Umm, so you can seem the charges in the dark. This isn't a damn trap/skeet/whatever range so there aren't any lights.
I know of at least on 20mm rifle, several M2 .50s, don't know of any miniguns. There might possibly be a coll new product demo, but I won't know for sure for a while. Also working on some other cool DDs. There are three vendors that are signed up that will be bringing a crap load of different MG's to rent. |
We really don't have any way to handle having stuff shipped in - it would be too much of a logistic headache, especially our first year. You could ship stuff to your name, General Delivery, for pickup at the Enterprise post office. I'm not quite sure how that works though (or if you can ship tannerite by USPS). Another thought is ship it via UPS and have them hold it at the UPS "terminal" (I use that term loosely) in Enterprise. Be aware, they have very limited hours (11:30-13:00 M-F). |
What, we can't just ship stuff to your place? |
At this point, we aren't going to do it. We don't have the equipment (steel targets, etc.) or the people to put it on. Also, we're not 100% sure we'd have a pistol bay complete enough to house it. It's definately on the list of things we want to do, but it'll probably have to wait until next year. We want to focus on the main shoot/line this year and work on adding additional things next year. Also, the point of this shoot is to offer something you can't get elsewhere in the NW. There are several good subgun matches available now (ARPC and IAWCA), so that's not quite as important to us until we get the main shoot worked out. |

We have two more gun rental vendors signed up, for a total of five. We have 1/3 of the firing line spaces sold and verbal/email commitments for another 1/3. If you think you are going to come to the shoot and you want a firing line space, I encourage you to register as soon as you can. Our advertisement just came out in Small Arms Review, so I anticipate the line spots to start going more quickly. Eric |
Currently, there are 5 vendors with rental guns signed up to be there. Still working on an ammo vendor and others.
There are people from out of state signed up, though I don't know if they are arfcom members. |
Pat, have him email me. If he can't get workers, I might be able to help him out. Eric |

For what it's worth, I emailed the club that's hosting the shoot. I wanted to know if they have benches and/or overhead cover on the line. The reply was no to both. I guess I'll be bringing my own table and maybe a canopy cover if Costco ever gets them in stock again. Does anyone know what to expect for the weather for the shoot? Just trying to plan my trip. |
Anywhere from 85 degrees and sunny to 28 degrees and snowing. Or all the above. Elevation at the range is about 4200' The average high for June is 76 and the average low is 42. Looking at weather data for the last four years, the highest high temp on 6/17 was 88 and the lowest high temp was 54. Dry some years, rain others. |
Just over half of the line spaces are sold out. Still working on two well known vendors, but probably won't know for sure until just before the shoot. One that I had been talking to, Noveske Rifleworks, won't be coming due to other commitments that are higher priority. We're always looking for setup help. Let me know if you want to help out. |
I might be able to get out of town on Thursday, but I don't know. If I can get there early, I'll be willing to help out. |
Reading is fundamental, he said just over half of the line spaces are sold, so that's 25-26, so unless you and your five friends are taking that much space, I'd expect a larger crowd than just the wessiders

Could also mean 25-26 people....vs the 60-100 we have at our own shoots. Don't insult me with Reading is fundamental BS. This is a major investment for some people. I'm looking at $100's in gas, taking a day off of work, $100's in ammo, food, etc. The least I can get is a good status report. |
Get the sand out of your mangina  and lighten up, sheesh I'm right there with you on the $ spent, if not more. I've already got $200 tied up into it for all of us with the camping spaces and firing line spaces. It's called faith!  I'm sure it will be a kick ass time. There are probably alot of folks who are on the fence about going or not due to it being a new shoot, but if you don't go, how will it ever be a success and be offered again next year?
