Dalton, are you planning any type of canopy for shade?  I'm planning on attending unless it's over a hundred degrees for the weekend...

Wymore, we will probably have our canopys up over the water coolers. We did that for the State shoot, and it worked really good. That will be sat. night, and sunday.
As far as Flatwaters range, there isnt too much shade, except under umbrellas, and under the cover of the saloon.

Hope to see you there.

Well Pitspitr, we have our monthlys every month, but I think thats the last of the 2 days/2 club things for this year.
1st Sunday is at Heartland Public Shooting Park, and the 3rd Sunday is at the Grand Island Rifle Club.

Good luck at CSG!!

It was a great weekend, perfect weather, good friends, and an outstanding supper at the Liederkranz, only bummer was missing Dalton!  I guess new babys are an excuse for missing a shoot...

Hey, but I made it to the Wild Bunch part!! Where were you then? Freeda made me go from the hospital to the range, with her and Wesley taggin along. Was a nice day for it, and she enjoyed the fresh air.

I am glad you had a good time, and hopefully we will make it to the next 2 day shoot. I have yet to make one, always having something else going on.

And yes, I did have somewhat of a good excuse to not be there.

We missed all y'all at Louisville. It was a fun shoot and I made some new friends, but missed getting to visit with some old friends that are usually there.

Maybe next year Pitspitr, all us Nebraskans can get some schedules figured out so we arent doubled up again. I tried to do that this year, but was adamantly shut down.

Hope to see you next time!

According to Mike Stanner CSG is looking at moving the games to the 3rd weekend of June next year.  They (Mike) also asked what people thought of moving the CAS match to GI the only ones that I heard comment were Richard Burhoop who said that it was virtually the same milage for hime either place, and myself who of course said it was a lot closer for me.

I'm going to try to get to the PVG shoot next weekend.

The third weekend is Flatwater's shoot.  So they would have to figure in on that weekend...

Hmm. If they could do the CAS part in GI on the 4th weekend of June, that might be a good thing! It would not interfere with GI for sure, but I am not sure of Logans or other Nebraska shoot days.
They also might be able to catch people on the way to Hell ON Wheels, which will give them more shooters, even if they are from out of state.
Are they thinking of the CAS part the 3rd weekend, or just starting the CSG the 3rd weekend?

NTR at Logan shoots on the fourth weekend and draws alot of Grand Island shooters, and with monthly matches averaging over a hundred people, I don't think Flatwater would even entertain the though of scheduling on their weekend...  And I am not a member of Flatwater and this is just my opinion only...

I don't know but it sounds like there isn't a weekend in the month that CSG wouldn't step on somebody's toes.  :-\
