Coming up this weekend!
Is there a good map around on how to get to the range/campsites?
I didn't see anything on the great google or the Rod & Gun club's page.

The range's address is 843006A Range Road 225. Here's a high quality map and directions:
From Peace River (west side of river):
-turn north on Highway 743 (Weberville Road), go 3 miles north
-turn left onto Twp Rd 842 (Stewart Road), go 4 miles west
-turn right onto Rng Rd 225, go aprx 1 1/4 miles north, range entrance on the left.
From Grimshaw:
- go north 3 miles on Highway 2
- turn right, staying on Highway 2, go 5 miles east
- turn left onto Rng Rd 230, go 3 miles north
- turn right onto Twp Rd 842, go 1 mile east
- turn left onto Rng Rd 225, go aprx. 1 1/4 miles north, range entrance on left.
You're more than welcome to camp at the range, though conditions are semi-primitive. There are a few places to plug in, but no potable water on site. Outhouses, as well.
Here's a link to local campgrounds.
I'm assuming you're coming up Friday? When do you expect to arrive?

I'll be out at the range all day/evening Friday if you want to bring your supper out there.
I'll leave the gate to the range open after 4 pm for anyone coming in Friday.

Truck is loaded, but I can't find my stash of 12 gauge bird shot. Found lots of 00 buck & slug... Grrrr. I am going to be a bit late. I checked the Canadian Tire website and they have 12 gauge in stock, but don't open till 9...
Thanks again to all who attended and helped with setup and teardown.
And a special thanks to the SOs and scorekeepers. And Tinkerbell for giving me the fleeting joy of beating JohnnyMac. Will post the results tonight, but first a shower and then rum.
I think that went well.

Great job guys! Can't imagine anything going any better than it did. Even Mrs Dinkelman outdid her last performance on lunch which I wouldn't have thought possible. I guess just as some constructive feedback if you guys could set up some type of air conditioning system at the range it would be appreciated.

Thanks Steveo & ACC for hosting yet another great event!!! I think everyone had a great time, I know I did. Horton had a blast and wants to go again, she even had the energy to do the 3.5 hour drive home after the match... She is already discussing what shotgun she needs.
It was a little warm.
Thanks for the kind words, guys. No can do on the A/C, John, unless you want the next match to be in February. We'll get some shade for next year.
