Can we ride and shoot some targets?

Is there a liqueur store out near the match hotel?

Were the squad lists being posted today?

I recall some date and I thought this was it but I am not certain.

If they are posted can someone point the way?

They'll be posted but probably not until mid week.

I was aiming for this weekend, but we ran into a couple issues this past week (that we've handled) that ate up "sitting at the desk" time.

The Airport has a liquor store - I don't know if they charge a premium for being at the Airport or not. The next nearest are about 20 minutes.

I'm thinking they might frown on that.

The liquor store at the airport has been closed for months now. The closest store to the match hotel would be Fall River. I think it's near the grocery store mall so you can stock up on all your consumables except for ammo.

what about Enfield liquor store?

closest/best beach on the Atlantic?

closest/best beach on the Atlantic?

I've added a few of the larger, more well known beaches. There are hundreds of smaller beaches popular with the local.

Closest: Rainbow Haven
Best: Lawrencetown or Martinique if you are up for the drive.

Crystal Crescent is a beautiful beach if you find yourself on the Halifax side or if you want to combine a day at the beach with a trip to Peggy's Cove.

I know I should look this up on a map but since you guys are so knowledgeable about this area, could you tell a prairie flat lander how far Peggie's Cove is from Halifax?
Thanks.

About 20 minutes from Halifax, between 45 to an hour from the range/ airport.

Since there is going to be the three gun match on Sunday, I'm assuming there will not be a shoot-off for the handgun match. Would I be correct with that assumption?
