For any new people out there and anyone that may be coming from out of town here is the "finalized" (yeah right) plans for the April shoot.

27th- BBQ at my house to get to know everyone. Starts about 1800 and runs till its time to go to the desert. Please bring a side and the drink of your choice and anything special you may want grilled. I will have plenty of hotdogs and burgers.

28th- meet at the Walkers Fuelk Stop in Lehi at the I-15/SR73 junction. At 0930 the caravan will pull out to head to the sight. We will also email the directions out to everyone that needs it closer to the date(if you want a map sent to you send me an email). There will also be small indicators on the way out there to let you know where to turn. The plan now is to use a paper plate with an orange TFL and a number. The number is the distance in miles to the next turn or sight.

We plan to have a precision shoot on maniquin heads from 100 yds.

A tactical shoot where you engare 3 targets from 20 yds and have to do either a mag change or transition to your sidearm. Two shots pre target.

We are also trying to find bowling pins for a shoot.
Lunch has yet to be determined if we will have a grill or not, I will post new info as it developes. If anyone has sunshades please bring them, it may get pretty warm.

That night there are some people camping out so if thats what you want to do have at it! I will be sticking around until after dark so I can sight in my NV scope for my AR. Anyone wanting to test the muzzle flash of their weapon at night, lets do it. I will be recording the whole thing!

29th- More of the same. Wrap up around lunch or a little later so we can clean weapons and the out of towners can get on the road and home at a decent hour. We locals can stay and play of course as long as we want.

Hotels near the action and freeways:

Holiday Inn 801-571-2511
Courtyard Marriot 801-571-3600
Extended Stay 801-523-1331

I want to tell everyone how psyched I am about this and how much we are looking forward to meeting everyone! Be safe!
