How about RD Bailey?
It's been a long time since we did one there. All of the locations are a good distance for me to get to, but that one is closer than the others and maybe we can even see George and son again. But anywhere is OK with me as long as gas stays under $3.00 per gallon.

If you guys are serious, I may be able to take time off and attend the 25th of July shoot. Perhaps you West Virginians can teach an Illinois yankee how to
shoot. If it works out, which most likely won't, I can pick up some Hoosiers along the way.

Come on over Ballcap!
You can stretch out on the concrete and I'll do a montage shoot of your feet, hands, head and elbows......

OK, since Pete and Tina can't make it and no response from George.....
I make a motion to have the shoot at Stonewall. Zeebill???? Can you help with directions, pre-shoot meeting place for breakfast?

Now I know why Ed told me to read this! I never read anything but the Mosin forum guys you got to give me a warning shot to wake me up! Let me think about
breakfast. Most of you guys coming from the south? or what? Let me get the directions for the place down pat as I always go the back way and you guys don't
need that route for sure!!! Dirt road loaded with critters! All you will have to do is get off of Interstate 79 and stay on the one road till the range sign
where you make a left and go up the hill. I will get back later this week with the exit number and all that stuff. Food can be north of there in town or south
of there at Flatwood Shoney's. Later guys I am missing the HR Derby! Bill

It's about an hour north of Charleston if you drive like Zee, 1.45 for normal drivers.
I'm not too far away from you there Amberg.

Chuck you are giving people the idea I speed or something! As an old racecar driver I merely drive at pace lap speed anywhere I go! Now anyone knows they are
not racing at pace lap speed? I hold a steady speed so that when the green flag drops I will be on the cam in fifth gear so I can jump on it and go. 4
cylinders need RPM's to go you know! It takes me about and hour and twenty minutes to make the 100 miles to Charleston from here, merely pace lap speed my
friends. Bill
PS I will get better directions on tomorrow if I get down
that way again.

Ok the Stonewall Jackson Lake Range directions from Interstate 79 north or south bound are as follows: Exit 91 Roanoke, WV exit. Go to bottom of ramp and take
Rt 19 southbound away from Weston. About 5 miles, it will be after you pass the resort entrance on the left you will see a road marked shooting range or the
symbol for one. Up the hill and you are there, park and hope they have serviced the port-potty and that one is there! Any questions feel free to ask! Bill

Are we meeting up for a pre-shoot breakfast, especially for the ones driving a long way to get there that morning?
We've hasd a fun but busy weekend here with some fine friends from Ohio that came in for a visit!

More on directions to the range, when you get off on exit 91 and head south on Rt 19 you have almost exactly 4 miles to the parking lot of the range. There is
a porta-potty there but I did not check it's condition. There were 8 people shooting when I visited there Sunday afternoon which frankly surprised me in
the numbers department but then I only shoot on weekdays. The range sign is on the right hand side of the road and the road is right there so be ready to turn
left quickly. The range is about 11 miles from town and a local diner will be open down by the river off the main street. The food is good there and it has a
local hometown flavor to the place. I will not eat there unless others want to try it as home is cheaper and I am getting ready for a big road trip next month.
The long range weather report is for isolated thunderstorms but that is what they are saying for all week so what do they really know. We are on a hill there
and I have been up there during a storm and the truck was the place to be as lightning was cracking away. Mountain showers come and go in minutes and move
rapidly away so time is not a problem usually. Everything looks go on this end and I am just tying up loose ends right now. Try and sign on and let us know if
you are trying to make it so we know how many we are dealing with. Take Care and have a safe trip all! Bill
