I will be there. It's kind of a hard shoot to find the first time.

toddster · February 23, 2009, 04:28:00 AM

if you need directions let me know.

Matt S · February 24, 2009, 04:14:00 PM

I'll try and make that. Hopefully the weather will be nice. Directions would be helpful.

I'm interested but I have a work problem. My days off are FRI/SAT. I need more info before I could give a definite answer.

toddster · February 24, 2009, 07:48:00 PM

Guys/gals, if you need directions, feel free to email me at mendy30@yahoo.com, the city and likely route you will be coming in on and can take you to it. It will be a standard 3-D shoot with 30 animals.

Matt S · February 25, 2009, 07:12:00 PM

Can you give us the address so we could just mapquest it? or is it just hard to find?

Fletcher · February 25, 2009, 09:33:00 PM

I have it on my calendar and will try to make it, Todd. We can talk about it on Saturday.

Fletcher · February 27, 2009, 09:57:00 AM

It was good to meet you, Todd, and I'm glad to hear you father-in-las is OK.

Fletcher · March 01, 2009, 09:04:00 PM

Sorry to hear the news, Todd, but very glad your FIL is OK. I was looking for you and wondered where you went. I've not been to the Decatur range and will email you for directions. Rick

Well all, first time out Decatur club. Weather wasn't the best I know. Few guys showed up. Hopefully, another few weeks we can start getting into some decent weather and get together at some shoots.

Fletcher · March 09, 2009, 08:19:00 AM

Illinois spring weather is always a crap shoot. The morning was actually very nice. It was my first 3-D for the year and it felt great to shoot a new course. I made it around the course before the storm hit and drove thru the rain on my way back thru town. It didn't last long, but the volume and wind were definitely there.

toddster · March 09, 2009, 02:01:00 PM

Fletcher- glad you made it home safe. Be out of town this weekend and next, but then I will be ready for something.

Too bad alot of these shoots are on sunday, myself and family are in church. I'm sure alot of other guys as well.

Fletcher · March 10, 2009, 08:10:00 AM

That is a concern, BT, but if our club holds a shoot on a Saturday, attendance is way down and most clubs see the same thing. We do our shoots on Sunday and keep the registration and range open until afternoon so that we can attend church and still make the shoot.

bowtough · March 10, 2009, 09:02:00 AM

Yea,I know alot of guys have to work saturdays. It is tough to accomidate everyone. Thanks.
