Snow, muddy roads postpone OFGC season opener

[jneihouse]

Heavy rains and now snow has turned Gun Club Road (access road to the Old Fort Gun Club in Fort Smith) into a muddy quagmire. Range is also muddy and soft so setting targets would be a messy proposition. No real improvement is expected by tomorrow (match day) so we, regretfully, will have to call this one off. Next schedule match is the 4th Saturday of March. Join us then.

You guys are so scared of a little rain/snow... don't you realize that you finally have a chance to train for the Conard Cup and are missing it?

[jneihouse]

Yeah, I know I've let myself in for some grief on this one....We're kinda spoiled here.....we have so much good weather to shoot in, when mother nature throws something like this at us you just can't get folks out. They know that better weather is just around the corner, so no need to go out when it's marginal......Also, our range is in a river bottom and the ground is pretty soft. the folks that do the groundskeeping at the range wouldn't look too kindly on us dragging our trailer full of targets across the range and cutting ruts in it for them to repair.....

All I have to do to train for the Cup is to stand outside on our coldest days with my rifle and let my wife mist me with the water hose with intermittent bursts of high pressure........Do this for 4 hours our so while dryfiring andyou have a perfect Conard Cup training senario.....
