#1 TFF/FUN SHOOT IN MISSOURI, JULY

[bobski]

friday i'll be up to my ears in alligators prepping the houses and getting machines tuned. and, i'll be putting road signs up all over Gods creation. but trust me, its not hard to find us if you just stick to the basic roads and stay on pavement!
one thing about being so desolate. road signs are few and far between, so everyone pays close attention to them. and when someone says 95 south out of town, to W turn left.....well, it could be a bunch of miles and loads of hills before it happens, but as long as you do what it says, youll be fine. just dont blink and miss one!!!!
id hate to see you drive so far just to make sure you know how to get here, but my gate is always open. your call.
just a reminder.....town is 35 miles from me! we be in the sticks there city slicker! there aint no meetin' in town around here!
btw, give us a buzz when you get bedded down in town. which motel you gonna be at?

[ryan42]

Im supposed to get my Tahoe back from the body shop tommorrow or friday and Ill borrow my dads tomtom as well.Oh by the way who you calling a cityslicker ill have you know I grew up in the country and worked on a farm as a kid weening sheep and bailing hay.Now I live in the country although were annexed into the city and have city water and sewer but we live 11 miles out of town.Im getting ready to look you up on google earth and check out your place.It will give me a satelite pic.

My son and I have the time off from work. We will be there. I can't wait. Looks to be 500 miles from Chicago...

[jack404]

its 500 miles from Chicago
its dark
we've half a pack of cigarettes
and we're wearing sunglasses


sorry ..

[bobski]

ok gvw, you got 2 spots assigned you. be glad to have ya. now, read up on all the discussions here, so nothing broad sides you.

hey ryan, then youll be right at home here. the cows, one field over, come right up to the fence and check out the shooters every time!

[bobski]

ryan, if you find a lat/long to my place, share it with me. my dial up cant load google earth. it takes too long. last time i checked google on a dsl computer, the pic was taken in dec 2010. i remember the day the satellite flew over. i can see my pickup along the skeet house as we painted.
my map link on my website under directions is crude, but you can use it to see intersections on W and AH and 95 and W with the little guy icon.

[jack404]

Bobski That parcel will be sent next thursday , sorry for the delay , they are away at a trade show and i didn't know , it'll be there the following wednsday at the latest

[bobski]

no rush. alls well. my rangemaster has been alerted to its arrival so it doesnt sit out in the rain! thanks!

[bobski]

ok, latest tally.
we have 5 comfirmed shooters coming, 1 card paid and issued, 4 card payments enroute, 1 serious maybe from Kansas, 5 iffy's within state or from across into ark..
plus misc family members along for the ride.
i invited 5 others from tff, but had no response.

[gvw3]

My son has a Mossberg 500 pump and I have a Mossberg 535 pump. Our guns have only been used once before.

What shells are best? I was thinking 8 shot am I right.

[jack404]

This help ?

the reticle is on the mailboxes as far as i can tell

[gvw3]

Jack I worked right across the street where they filmed John B coming out of prison. in that move. Saw the whole thing. By the way that was not Statville prision it was Collins street prison in Joliet.

[bobski]

8's will work. walmart 100 packs of federals, remingtons, or winchesters will be fine. bring 3 100 packs.
and bring at least 2 chokes, IC and full or MOD and full. if you have skeet, thatll work too!

[bobski]

jack, the google pic blue target is right on my driveway entrance. its labeled wrong, its not bryan mo, its vanzant mo.
now....where that blue target is boxed, follow the driveway left to the cluster of homes and go straight up 1/4 mile. thats the range road. it ends where there is a small roof on the right with 3 little roofs to the right of it.
thats the range.
thanks for the lat/long.

[jack404]

maybe thats why folks having hassles , google maps shows it as vanzant ,but google earth says Bryan ..

this ones a newer map too ( google maps ) shows the skeet range? better.. (top)

but dont have lat/long

[bobski]

the lat long to the driveway in your 1st pic is good enough. thanks!
the latest pic cut the 2nd field off, but you all can see the basic range layout.

[jack404]

second pic dont give lat /long.. thats what i'm saying

[bobski]

no worries mate.

[tireman]

hey friend my wife has given me the weekend to do this. cant wait! if theres still time, let me know what i need to do or can do for you guys. been a member here a long time, and cant wait to meet some tff friends. again, if theres anything i can do to help, i could possibly come fri afternoon. thanks guys steve

[bobski]

for anyone planning on coming late and didnt reserve a range card, if you want to be in the running for the 20ga press being awarded to top shot, youll need to buy one at the counter. if the games have begun, you can make it up at the end of the match or during lunch break. all 10 boxes need to be shot to win.

[bobski]

hey tireman, pm me for range card details!

[carver]

Google maps can't find your address for the Pigeion Farm, and Map Quest keeps sending me to Poduca! My GPS probably won't do any better! So, I'll do it the old fashioned way:

From points south…Bull Shoals & Mountain Home, Ark., HWY 5 north to Gainsville, Mo.. In Gainsville, take HWY 181 north 25 miles. Left on HWY 14, 3 miles. Right on HWY W, 6 miles. Right on HWY AH, 1 mile.

----------------

As you crest a hill, look for our sign near 5 mailboxes. The sign only goes up if you told us youre coming in advance. Turn left at (5) mail boxes grouped together on the left. Follow a private 1/2 mile dirt road to the range. Check in at the blue house first. If gates are open, the range is open and we're ready for you.

[bobski]

its because my address is a box # on AH. it confuses the program.
see above google map that jack provided.
old works!
if you need a lat/long its:
36deg 54'11.27"N
97deg 14'44.10"W

dont forget to to use my map on my website too. its under the 'directions' icon.

[bobski]

tireman, no work needed. just show up and enjoy the show.

[bobski]

ok, latest tally....
we have 6 confirmed shooters coming, 1 card paid and issued, 5 card payments promised and enroute or waiting at the counter, 1 serious maybe from Kansas, 5 iffy's within state or from across into ark..
plus misc family members along for the ride.
i invited 5 others from tff, but had no response.
so, i have to plan for cameo appearences.

just a kind note to my friends. targets will be ordered and sent on 28 june to the club with or without your payments in my hand. im not going to set myself up to be without targets. its the heart of the shoot. without them we are just pointing guns at the air. the supplier needs payment up front to ship, so im putting my personal cash on the line for these unpaid targets. if you no show me with promises promises to be there and then dont come, and even worse, dont order your range card and decide to shoot just 1 game and leave, im screwed. so if you say youre coming, come. if you can pay now, then please pay and have it in the mail by the 24th. it would be courteous to loose me of being on pins and needles wondering on the day of the shoot, if anyone will show up. thanks guys.


btw, this is the loading press jack404 is donating. AND IT HAS THE PRIMER FEED!
