After siglite and myself did a preliminary site inspection last year, and continued follow up work by siglite, we will now have this beautiful club as part of our WV Appleseed itinerary. O0
The inaugural shoot for this new location is scheduled for Aug. 28, 2010. We will be starting out with a shooter capacity of 10 15, but the club is in the process of expanding range capabilities, so that number will increase in the future. If we all do our part on promotions for this first shoot, a "sell out" is very possible.
You can go to their website for club specifics: http://www.putnamcountygunclub.org/
Hey Machine!
Is this on the event list yet?? I have looked for it but am not seeing ??? It could be me %) I have some family that live near by and asked about pre-reg. I might be able to come down and help out as well. Thanks
In His Grip,
Ratchett
Ratchett, I submitted everything to get it scheduled from my end...the ladies are working on it now. I would recommend just keep checking the schedule and it should show up soon.
That would be great if you and/or your family could make it. It's a really nice facility to attend an AS at.
Capacity should be 15 (could really go to 20). 10 is the max for the 300yd range, which we won't have exclusive use of, anyway.
Oh...
When this makes it onto the schedule, and shooters can register, can someone please let me know ASAP. I need to notify the President of PCGC. He is already highly dedicated to 7th stepping for Appleseed. He is chomping at the bit to begin promoting this event for us. I need to make sure he's aware the instant people can register.
I don't know if I've mentioned this. But we have a powerful ally in that club. He mentioned to me that he has already directed the club's XO to prepare for no less than FOUR Appleseed events at this club next year.
The iron is hot. We need to strike.
Thank you guys!! Job well done. O0
See you on the trail
In His Grip,
Ratchett

Hmmmm... Any chance of setting the capacity to 21? That's a nice number to sell-out at. :))

Even though it isn't on the schedule yet, the date is set. That gives plenty of time for all sorts of Appleseed Celebrities to clear their calenders and come help us christen this strategic location. :cool2:

Siglite is correct on the shooter capacity, I just changed it in my first post. You would think I should know these things, since I put the EIP together...to much number crunching lately. :D
I'll be adding the EIP for PCGC to our 2010 WV Event Schedule board: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=10973.0 the moment this thing goes "live".
Why was the Hampton Inn in Teays Valley < 10 miles away not listed with the information? Granted, I wouldn't suggest anyone stays at the Days Inn or Red Roof in, but the Hampton is new and very nice. There's also plenty of places to eat/buy supplies near by. It's address is Hurricane, but it's not in Hurricane (the reason for that is ridiculous, Hurricane annexed half of the unincorporated Teays Valley for the ability to write speeding tickets...seriously).

And we can finalize our evil plans for the KD clinic next month. Mrahaharrra!
Siglite is correct... PCGC really is looking forward to this event. We are in the process of getting a bunch of earth moving done at the range, and it isn't "beautiful" right now, but the 25M range is pretty much mudfree and has covered shooting positions for 20....errr 21. The last guy wont be covered LOL. I am personally building a LTR as we speak and will have it sighted in before the shoot.
I like the emphasis on youth and women trainees. I predict AS will flourish in Putnam County. I will post driving directions in the near future. The easiest way to the range is blocked by bridge repairs that are pronised to be complete in late August.... we will see.
Later,
Mac McMillian
Welcome to the forum, Mac!
Yes, welcome to the forum and Appleseed Mac! Thanks so much for allowing us to utilize your fine facility...looking forward to it. O0
We need to start getting the word out about this upcoming shoot so we can fill the firing line. If we can pull off a "sell out" on this one, it would be a WV AS first, and what a way to kick off an inaugural shoot! ..:..
The EIP for this location is now listed on our WV board here: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=10973.0
Thought I would mention we have a flagpole at the range we are going to use. Hope I can find my 13 star flag...

I downloaded AS flyer from forum post above and printed a few for PCGC meeting last night. Had huge turnout due to email blast I started this month. Talked abt AS more than club bidness LOL. Got lots of interest and 2 emails this morning about 1022 mods... I think the youth program guy may bring a few kids also. Question: Women and kids do the online reg also, and it comes up $0.00 correct?
Somebody please keep me informed as to the # registered so I can adjust my promotion as needed.
Thanx,

Plug in the Aug. 28-29 dates for the AS which you'll attend. Getting to the WL-1 status should allow you access to those links that you can't see right now. There's also some other tasks which we could use some help on; compiling a list of NRA resources in WV is one of them. You'll see it once your status is approved.
If you encounter a problem, just let me know.

Still no joy... ~~:)
Hmm... I wonder who needs ~~:) 'd. The Machine, any ideas?
Never wanting to hold a motivated volunteer back, I sent in a request to Appleseed Eastern today. Let's give it another day or two, then if "no joy", I'll take it up a notch. ;) ~~:)
I went to PCGC last evening to look around and sight in a NEW LTR....
I have decided to make the new "Liberty Range" 50M long and 25M wide. It should accomodate 20 AS shooters easily, and have next-to-range parking. Eventually we will even have covered shooting positions, but only sky for now. We can plant pipes at the 25M point to facilitate target stands.
The grand opening of the Liberty Range will be April 16-17, 2011... go ahead and book it!
Back to the LTR... had FTF on all 5 mags with Federal high dollar ammo... CCI mini mags fed better.
Guess there is a breaking in period for the non existent feed ramp. I did buy the 1022 performance eBook.
Some good stuff in there. Oh Keith, I have 2 1022's now.... this is not the one we worked on... still no bullets thru it yet.

Well, there's one April 19th venue. I assume Stinson will be on the schedule, and probably Beckley. As it should be with Appleseed, April 16/17 next year should be quite busy. O0

and another thread on mag tension (various authors & opinions):

These weren't meant to specifically address FTF, but may be of interest anyways.

Fantastic Mac; I'll add it to the 2011 Patriot's Day itinerary! O0
In the meantime, what is being done to promote this wonderful location for the upcoming Aug. shoot? I see that there are only 2 pre-regs so far.
FWIW, I've found CCI Mini Mags to be an acceptable "diet" for most .22s...a little pricey, but they seem to always do a good job.
Spanner, I'm still not WL-1 and locked out.. will read them when I get access Thanx!
TM,
I have put it up at the range, taking flyers to local gun shops (this weekend) and sent out an email to 270 members of PCGC with email. We have it on our website. I have also promoted it at the Club meetings. I expect 15-20 takers, but it may take word of mouth to get it going strong... I bet our second one will be bigger. Our folks are used to walk ins, and may be leery of web registration.
We will try to get one in this Fall also.

Great, it sounds like you're on the right track Mac. :)
I know quite a few people are apprehensive about registering online, but I would remind them that there is a mail-in option as well. By registering--even if they qualify to attend FREE--it assures them a spot on the firing line. So, in this particular case (PCGC) where the range capacity is rather limited at this time, a "walk on" would be rolling the dice. If there where 50 slots to fill, chance would favor those who choose to walk on. Those who preregister always have precedence before anyone else, as far as a slot on the firing line is concerned. Registration also helps us internally, on the planning side of things. I hope this gives you a better understanding of the value in registering.
TM,
I fully understand the value in pre-registration !!! I hope you got my email copy of what I sent to our membership yesterday.... We will work hard to get a full firing line.
Mac
Oh, my. This thread brings back fond memories. I lived in Hurricane ("Hurrikin") from summer '75 to summer '77 (NJ before & after). Senior year of high school and first year of college (which was here in CO).
Tested for my driver's license in Winfield. I worked at the Shoney's Big Boy restaurant nights, at the Winfield exit of I-64. And yes, coming home from work one night I got a speeding ticket on Teays Valley Rd.
Haven't been back since a pass-thru in summer '78. I still remember how the air smelled in summer and how pretty the girls were! Gotta get back one of these days, not even sure I could find my old shooting buddy anymore.
I hope you guys have a great shoot!
Been busy latley. I will probably try to attend. I am working rught now on a range here. I will make another posr about that. Glad to see that we are making stuff happen. Keith, I want to talk to you about some stuff. Frank, I am trying to get ready so that I will be a good SB when needed. Who is going to SB at Putnam, Keith? We are growing! I like it!

I think we can handle four or five walk-ons in addition to the pre-regs. But pre-regs take priority, so if anyone's turned away, it'll be the last walk-ons to show up.

Mac, if we hit the 15 quota on the pre-regs, I can get a hold of the person handling registrations to open up an additional 5 slots. We'll cross that bridge when it materializes.
I forgot to ask...what is the absolute maximum that we can now fit on the firing line which will be used?
20... we have a 100 foot firing line. It does extend quite a ways beyond the roof however, and we could fit probably 30 in a pinch. I guess you guys have limits per instructor tho and I will leave that decision wholly up to you all.
Mac
OK, thanks. If need be, I'll open 5 more slots for pre-reg, and that would still allow room for a few walk-ons. The instructor/student ratio won't be an issue on this particular shoot; we have sufficient staff who will be there. If we start getting attendance numbers in WV hovering around the 40-50 level, that might raise a few eyebrows...but we could still handle it. :)

Thanks for that correction, brother! I had a temporary mental lapse into "static thinking". ;D
On a side note...anyone who can't make the PCGC shoot in Aug. could drive up to Stinson on Sept. 25-26...we have plenty of slots open. ;) Also Mac, if you get additional dates that you would like to add at PCGC, please let me know ASAP, so I can schedule them. We will even do winter shoots if you think people will show up.
I will add at least 1 maybe 2 at our meeting tomorrow night... we MAY have a new range to use for them, and approval will be much easier!
I will let you know Friday.

Great news Mac. I can't thank you enough for all the work and dedication you have put forth toward helping Appleseed grow in WV. O0
Something else that you might consider, after you get the long distance range expanded, is holding a week-long 'Rifleman Boot Camp' (RBC) at PCGC. These clinics allow our instructors to go more in-depth with certain aspects of rifle marksmanship such as wind doping, target detection, range estimation, ballistics analysis, etc.; along with protocols for becoming an RWVA Instructor. PCGC would be a fine location for one of these, especially if there was a range available out to 500 yds.
Way to go Mac and the WVa crew! Great job guys, looking forward to working with y'all.
Ratchett
Frank,
How much time is spent on the range for the RBC? I can't tie up a range(longer than 25M) for a week ever.....

Can you tie it up for a Wednesday and Thursday? That's all we'd need. Otherwise, 25m. Six days (Sunday-Friday) + the traditional trailing AS the following Sat/Sun (to exercise all those new orange hats).
On the Eventbrite capacity for the upcoming shoot: I think you and siglite should figure out the max, and go ahead and set the Eventbrite capacity to that max. I can't think of any good reason not to go ahead and do that.

Pick a week. (not anywhere close to Deer Season) I will run it up the flagpole... only caveat is Liberty Range must be finished first.

Already taken care of. :)
QuotePick a week. (not anywhere close to Deer Season) I will run it up the flagpole... only caveat is Liberty Range must be finished first.
I'm thinking about doing the RBC next year sometime. It requires some pre-planning, more so than a regular AS. I can talk to you about it when I see you...I was just giving you something else to think about as we develop AS events at PCGC.
It's now official. The newest range @PCGC is named the Liberty Range!!!
Once it is finished (dirt) we can have an AS at 25M just about any weekend.
My best guess is late September. If the stars align, we will be able to use it on Aug 28-29.
This is fantastic. As I've said before, I grew up a short distance from PCGC, do it's great to see you guys coming online with AS. I can't wait to come down in August, should be a great time.
Later,

Very very near a sellout! ^:)^ ..:..
Looking forward to meeting everyone...
Whomever triggers the emails to the registered shooters for this event... The Winfield Toll Bridge is still closed, and I suspect it will still be on August 28-29. Here are the updated driving directions to the PCGC.
You may want to edit the eventbrite thingy too...
NEW Driving Directions to the Putnam Co. Gun Club Range (eff. 4/5/10):
From Charleston, take I-64W to the Nitro Exit and turn right. Take WV-25 to WV-62N. Make left and follow WV-62N to the town of Eleanor. Turn right on Eleanor Circle (Rite-Aid will be on your left). See last paragraph...
From Point Pleasant, take US-35 to the Lower Buffalo Bridge. Cross the bridge and follow WV- 62S to the town of Eleanor. Turn left on Eleanor Circle (Rite Aid will be on your right).
From Huntington, take I-64 to the Teays Valley exit, turn left and follow WV-34N to US-35 (new 4 lane road). Take US-35 to the Lower Buffalo Bridge. Cross the bridge and follow WV- 62S to the town of Eleanor. Turn left on Eleanor Circle (Rite Aid will be on your right).
From Eleanor Circle: Turn right on Park Road and continue thru the Park (the pool will be on your left), make a right by the old school house, crossing over a small concrete bridge. Make another right onto the dirt/gravel road, continuing thru two gates (the first is the park gate and the second is the range gate).
Mac are we staying at 15 shooters or are you opening up to 20 I have 3 shooters who would like to come but were wait listed. Isn' t it great to have more shooters than range room, wish we could get every shoot like that---GO WVa CREW!!!
See ya in August,
Ratchett
Well.... eventbrite says we're sold out. I don't know if that's sold out at 15, or sold out at 20. Either way, this is going to be a great shoot.
It may be sold out at 20... We can handle a few more than that physically... TM, please see that the new driving directions are sent ou (above) and let us know what the reg # is for sure..
I guess that comes out Tues?
Issue #1: I don't want to change the directions on the EIP since this detour deal is only a temporary thing, and there is more involved with making changes to things like this than most realize. That's why it's very important to get accurate info about a location, prior to creating the EIP and scheduling shoots. I will pass along the new directions to the individual who handles eventbrite, and hopefully they can shoot an email to all who have registered. Back in the "old days", I could have done this myself, but circumstances have changed since then. Thanks for the heads-up about it Mac.
Issue #2: The capacity for PCGC was changed to 20, so I assume if it is sold out, it would be for that number of people. This will be verified when the pre-regs are updated tomorrow. Having the ability to squeeze a couple extra on the firing line will work out fine if we have some walk-ons.

EXCELLENT.
Hello WV!!
The changes have been made on the EIP, in blue and I kept the original directions on there. We can delete them when it is behind us.
I sent the detour directions in a mass email to all of the people who had pre registered.
Great job getting this Appleseed promoted! This event is sold out at 19, with 4 people on the waitlist. That usually means that the first person to get on the list tried to book 2 or more tickets, when there was only 1 available.

Does anyone know who will be in charge of this shoot?
I need to coordinate some stuff with whomever.

We're working on it MAC, and their contact info will be passed along to you ASAP. Whomever it is, you can rest assured they will put on a successful and productive shoot.

I have no doubts about that..... My concern is I have to go out of town for business for a week, and I want to get this event planned and coordinated so I can relax some.
We now have a Shoot Boss scheduled for the Aug. Appleseed; jmdavis (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=1590). He is a Senior Instructor from VA who's been involved with the program for quite some time.
JMDavis,
Welcome aboard and thanks for stepping up---think I will have to make a breakfast casserole to bring along ^-^
See you in Aug..til then stay strong and keep the Faith!
IHG,
Ratchett

I urge all IIT's (sorry shooters; sold out) in the area to git yourself down to this shoot (
Aug 28-29 Eleanor, WV) and grab yourselves a big slice of sunny VA instruction. We are fortunate indeed. Don't pass up this opportunity!

I do like that breakfast casserole. O0
Thanks for the Welcome, guys. I will be following up with those who are signed up to instruct as we get closer to talk about PC's etc. This is going to be a good one!

Mac has just informed me we have another date for PCGC--Nov. 6-7, 2010. There's a chance we will be adding a Dec. date shortly, so if anyone couldn't get in on the Aug. shoot, there's more coming soon. ;)
Already getting registrations for Nov 6-7 at Eleanor... Maybe another sellout???

I went to PCGC last evening to look around and sight in a NEW LTR....
I have decided to make the new "Liberty Range" 50M long and 25M wide. It should accomodate 20 AS shooters easily, and have next-to-range parking. Eventually we will even have covered shooting positions, but only sky for now. We can plant pipes at the 25M point to facilitate target stands.
>>>>>The grand opening of the Liberty Range will be April 16-17, 2011... go ahead and book it!
Back to the LTR... had FTF on all 5 mags with Federal high dollar ammo... CCI mini mags fed better.
Guess there is a breaking in period for the non existent feed ramp. I did buy the 1022 performance eBook.
Some good stuff in there. Oh Keith, I have 2 1022's now.... this is not the one we worked on... still no bullets thru it yet.
