Hey guys..quick update. I called the conference center today. It's fine if we still go and I said barring an actual downpour I'll still head out there tomorrow morning. Just plan on it being muddy and/or messy and plan accordingly. Conditions might be a bit rough but we'll have a go of it. Worst case we'll shoot a bit, scout the area and plan for the future.
Also, I had brought up the issue of pellet/lead waste when I first planned this with the camp. They were not concerned but just today on the phone the lady I spoke with asked about traps or boxes to collect pellet debris. I told her it's something we could work on but that I had not built anything of that nature yet. So I think it's something we should all talk about going forward - enclosures for targets to help at least make an attempt at pellet debris collection. It does make things more inconvenient but I think it would help us continue to be able to shoot there. So don't worry too much about it this time but let's keep it on the radar. Better to stay ahead of the rules/laws than try to catch up later I suppose.
So.... as of right now, 1:40pm PST on Saturday we are still on for tomorrow. If you like, check in with me tomorrow on my cell phone before you drive. That way if it's still pouring we can cancel in advance. PM me if you would like my cell number. I will post to GTA tomorrow around 7am too with the final go ahead so check if you can before heading out.
