Got up at 430 this morning to meet jeff at 6 to do some range work. We dropped about 20 more trees and got the place mowed. One more day at the range and we should have it ready for the shoot. Also Jeff had a run in with a deadly pit viper!!!! Did he shoot it in the head?? LOL Rambler.. Out of all three of us guys that went to the range neither one of us brought a gun.. Couldn't have shot that poor ole snake if we wanted too,,, we had many implements of distraction but no guns.. Jeff Hankins...

Put me and one more down to attend and shoot. Sounds like a lot of fun. I was hoping to bring a new one but it seems the wheels have fallen off that project so I'll have to bring a 3rd grader's ml. Which is appropriate since ya'll will be schooling me anyway. Thanks for Your effort putting this gathering on so we can all enjoy learn and meet new friends.

Jeff,
Would love to be there but unfortunately due to an accident a few years back, am partially paralyzed in my lower body...makes traveling not so easy.
Thanks for all your effort in making this shoot a reality.
Russell, not so sure I would have let it be known about the snake fear...this bunch can probably be bad for practical jokes

Mike.
Is it the driving part or the sitting for a long time that makes traveling difficult? We have two guys coming up from Pinehurst, NC. maybe you could all do a carpool..... If it's the sitting and you just can't make the trip I understand, but if you want to come we will make you comfortable while at the shoot...
Thanks Jeff Hankins.

The address that you will want to plug into your GPS is: 2180 McDowell Rd. Cynthiana, KY. 41031 Do a google earth map or map quest and make sure you are able to find this place. If you have any doubts call me ahead of time as I and probably you will not have cell service once you get close to the range. It would be a good idea to print off the directions so that if you do lose service you will still have a back-up. McDowell Rd is a small ,almost one lane, road off of US 62. If you are traveling east, It turns left just after you cross the lickin river bridge in Claysville, Ky. If you are coming in from the west it will be the last road to your right, just before you cross the river bridge. If you map quest it from the north and the directions say to come from Brooksville, Ky. you will be traveling on Hwy 19. McDowell Rd. is a mile or two past Milford, KY and will turn to the Right. Always stay to your left and the range will be about 4 miles down on the right. You will not be able to miss the range. If you do miss McDowell Rd. no worries, Keep going on HWY 19 a few more miles and you will come to a stop sign, turn right and then turn right again, almost like making a big U-turn. This is McDowell Rd and then you will find the range on the left. I will try to put up a marker at McDowell Rd. It will be a tobacco stick with yellow caution tape on it...... Check your route let me know if you have any questions. Also for those of you who will be camping out for the weekend or for just one day. Bring everything you think you might need. Coolers and drinks will be of importance. There is a grocery store 2 miles from the shoot and they have everything you might want including cold cold drinks, hand made to order sandwiches, pizza, breakfast sandwiches and that kind of stuff. He's got just about everything except gunpowder...... I will have a hot water shower rigged up out side of the shop, just bring your own towels, soap, and some flippy flops shoes. Any other questions just call. Thanks to all that have helped promote this. We will discuss dates on Saturday for the next event. Jeff.
