Randy, not this year. The West Virginia shoot will follow Va. 2 days later, July 9-13, and will be held in Winchester as well. So we have an Air B&B in Winchester for the two weeks. Looks like Indiana will start on the 15th. If I don’t go home after WV, I’ll probably receive divorce papers in the mail. I’m already pushing my luck.

Well, dang the luck. The VA shoot is some 500 miles from me so I don't have a lot of interest in that one. The IN shoot is about 1.5 hours from my home, wish you coming to the Hoosier State, maybe next year. Good luck in VA !!

John before you stop you should hit Thurmont MD and Elysburg PA for their respective state shoots .

Looks like the MD shoot is in conflict with VA/WV shoots as well .

I got a shoulder twinge just reading this. Maybe Websters could use an illustration of you shooting next to the definition of "dedication." It would be very appropriate.
