The Hollywood Rifle and Pistol Club has invited us back! This is a premium location in South Florida and we now have a new date: June 7-8. Events here in the past have quickly sold out so I expect we will be needing a few good men (and women) to help staff this shoot. Granted, it is summertime in S. Florida but consider this: the range has extensive overhead cover, an air-conditioned classroom a few steps from the firing line for demos and history, a chilled water fountain and soda machine at the firing line, wall mounted fans at each firing point, and no mud! Now, who's in?
Bruce,
We've got a shoot in Palm Bay that weekend a couple of hours north and a group of instructors who usually staff those shoots. Maybe we can coordinate the two shoots?
Our main problem with the Hollywood range is their extensive schedule of matches. Dates that can be made available for Appleseed are quite limited. Do you have anyone signed up for Malabar yet? Perhaps they might want to experience Hollywood instead? The club there has been extremely supportive of AS and we generally attract some very fine shooters to this venue. Other than the long drive (for me), it is a great place to work an event.
I'm not yet 100% sure, but I think I might be able to make it down there yet again.
BTW, as someone who grew up just a few miles from that range, I can say that the differences in heat & humidity in June between North FL & South FL are much more theoretical than real, and that the amenities Bruce mentioned at that range (shade, AC classroom, etc) more than compensate for those theoretical differences. :)

I'll go. I'll even shoot boss if you like.
I can probably get NomadicHillbilly to come to come down with me.

If you decide to take it, give me a call and I can give you some suggestions on lodging, dining, target line setup, etc. The folks at the club are super helpful as well.
