    That's 90 shooters on Saturday . . . will we be there until 10:00 at night trying to finish? HAH!

    They close the grill at Top Notch at 3:00, so . . .


    Ya I saw the size of my squad and shuddered a bit. Last year ran pretty smooth and hopefully this year will as well. Definitely looking forward to it! I doubt I'm the only one, but I'd shoot a LOT more Multigun if the matches added more rifle and cut about 80% of the shotgun out ..

    I'd shoot multigun again if they would shorten the length of the matches, either by limiting the number of entrants or making the stages shorter and quicker to reset. The trend has been in the opposite direction for a few years now.

    I used to help run the 3-gun at Atlanta and we were always out of there by 3:00 or so!

    Yes. There's no quick way to reset 100 pieces of knock over steel.. they're long days for sure. I'm awaiting the rise of 2 gun..

    I prefer shooting a shotgun with that much steel involved.

    Rhino are Bison burgers a possibility afterward?

    Shoulder issue or equipment issue? If the latter, you're welcome to run my carbine. It's the one that won the lower we can't talk about. :shady:

    You should definitely come hang out either way!

    Yes to both. Thanks, I will happily come and watch. I hope there is a method by which I can donate without shooting.

    Indeed, they are. I'd suggest Top Notch for either tenderloins or their awesome burgers after the match, but it's unlikely we'll be finished before they close the grill at 3:00. Lafayette Brewing Co on the other hand, will be open. We'll just have to find a place to park (they're doing construction on Main St in Lafayette).


    Do Indiana Multi gun rules require shot gun?

    Only when their are shotgun courses of fire!

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to run your own ranch?

    I was unable to shoot this last year because it was on my Anniversary. I'm all signed up this year. This is something I support very much. I have a very close friend who is very involved in Honor Flight. She has been on so many of them I can't count. The stories she has told me have brought tears to my eyes. They treat these vets like rock stars (AS WE ALL SHOULD IMO) and they really do appreciate it. Thank you ALL for participating in this very worthy cause. -Jason

    Yes you can just donate onsite, without shooting. This is what I did last year. I am pretty active with the Lafayette Gold Star Mother's Chaptor and the Honor Flight. A better project to support, I can not think of!
