We already have 11 shooters signed up for Centerville. Centerville, IA June 14-15, 2014. Phil Garrison, our LBOTG down there has been working it. We need to staff it now.

Don, Rodge and I will be in Shenandoah for a shoot that same weekend.

No worries Reload,
I will be the Shoot Boss.  We have instructors
who have committed.

Centerville shooters:
We have some .22 ammo available for youth shooters at a good price.
Please let us know if you need ammo.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Who will be there?
It should be a great time.

We were informed today that the 1/2 mile driveway to the Centerville range is not passable due to heavy rains.  We will not be able to host the shoot at Centerville. 

All is not lost however, with significant effort from our instructors, a range is available 25 miles away at Lovilia, Iowa.  All shooters who signed up will receive a notification with directions soon.
I will post directions here as well when I receive them.
Please stay tuned and let others know about it.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.  We will make the best out of it however.

As promised... here is a map and directions to the range.  These will also be e-mailed out to our registered shooters tomorrow morning.  We will accept walk-ons as well if you still want to join us.  It seems like many of those signed up for Centerville will join us at Lovilia. 
We will start at 8:30 on Saturday.
See you at the range!

With all of the challenges, it sounds like we will have a good shoot tomorrow.

The Lovilia range is ready.
We had some instructors and volunteers spend about 5 hours on the range today getting it ready.
Thanks guys!

We have contacted everyone and it sound like we still may have 12-15 people coming.
Once again, walk-ons are welcome as well.

Day one was a success!  The new range worked out great.
A beautiful day in the shade.
We had 13 shooters.  It sounds like tomorrow we may
have a couple more.
It was a very attentive and fun group.
Bryce and Jerry did a great job telling the strikes.
Look forward to tomorrow.

Thx PK.  It was an all out team effort.
I can't take much credit at all.
We got a new rifleman and a couple
will make it next time!
We may have some new IITs as well.
