We are still upset about being snowed out the other weekend. Hope some others will join and we will have fun. Well, we will already have fun, but will have more fun the more people from the group join in. Harold should be able to cancel and move to Quality Inn if he booked elsewhere.

Julia also mentioned a bus to the gun show at Ruth's Chris. Any interest there?

Mills how far away is Ruth Chris? I wanted to go since they are all friends but didn't want to have to drive miles what city is it in?

Eric I think it's in a town called Cary but not sure. I have no interest in traveling an hour more or less each way for dinner. Why this wasn't held at someplace like The Flame steakhouse in Sanford is beyond me.

We will have a great group at Drakes and as we get closer I'll ask for a head count as to who is shooting on what days so if we want Dan will have a lunch for us.

I think Ruth Chris is closer to Fuquay Varina than Sanford, so we will be ahead of the game.

We will have to make up lost time that we missed. Harold, looking forward to meeting you and seeing all the other folks as well.

Went shooting at Drake Landing on Saturday, and as I was finishing up, Dan Andrews flagged me down and asked me if I had my camera phone, and a few minutes to spare. He wanted to show me the new sporting clays course, and asked me to take some pictures to get you guys really fired up for April. It's not finished yet, but he's very close. It should be completed by mid March for an upcoming event. This is a sample of the stations, but not all of them. It's going to be AWESOME, and you won't believe the variation in elevation throughout the course.





This might be the coolest station on the course. You'll stand and shoot over the stone wall at birds close to, or on the ground.























The best part is that Dan is planning to reserve this course for more experienced shooters. If you need a safety briefing, or haven't shot much before, you'll be directed to shoot the old course. Dan has spared no expense with this new course, and it shows.

Thanks Mike I'm looking forward to this and to shooting the new course. Just so everyone knows this is a SECOND 100 target course so we will have ample opportunity to shoot.

I want to get up there before April. I talked to Jim Hall and he does also. I am having to spend part of every week in Charlotte these days so will have to be a last minute thing.
