I will be staying 3 miles away at a time share cabin

[Privateer]

So if your doing a 10 to 12 hour drive to get there and plan to camp.
Stop at a lot of places where you can get free handy wipes!
 
Or do as I plan to do. A quick dunk in the pond and some Old Spice spray and You all can tolerate me for the week.
(Don will be 3 miles away. So You don't have to tolerate him)

[Sfttailrdr46]

  Yep I get to shower every morning    I may even shave once or twice depending on my mood

Wow, now that's some long distance shooting! 

But if we get the traditional GTA thunderstorm and tornado-wannabe, you will be able to get double your rate for half your space!!

I'm sure my son won't mind we have shared our living space with unexpected guests we have done it many times in the past

Some more pictures from Eric came in.

"Here’s a few pictures of the cleared bridge site that leads to the lake levy...firing line.
The one picture shows the camp site to the left of the picture on the other side of the lake.
 The three structures on the ground are 18” tall and 30’ long. These are the basic frames for the bridge.
This is what they look like before welding. The next pictures are of one bridge frame welded together as of today."

Looking forward to meeting you all and hoping to try a large bore air rifle

That is awesome! Should be a big bore or 2 there you can get your paws on for a round or 2!.

I would think that a regulated Marauder modified with a TJ's barrel for .30 qualifies as a big bore and I am certain there will be other bigger bores as well 

[Privateer]

Carnavore .357 should qualify as a big bore.
Then if Lloyd makes it? I'd expect him to show off the .51!

Ah yes, the THUNDER GUN!

Hoping to check out the .30 cal.  I can't remember if I have seen a full string on it.

Just booked a room with the lodge. I'm thinkin' one of the LGVs and HW98 to shoot, maybe one extra rifle to sell/swap  . Gonna take 2 lane all the way, see some new countryside. Plan on 2 days to do the 800 miles @ 60mph, no hurry. Looking forward to putting a face to a name, looking at stuff I've only heard about.

For me I'm planning to leave Long Island 2am 5/17 when my son gets  off work and to my house then arrive in Horseshoe Bend AR sometime Thursday evening. I will drive the first 5 hours then Jr will take over so with 2 drivers we will drive straight through only stopping for gas and fast food along the way. . If everything goes according to plan we get a good nights sleep and to the fun shoot bright and early on Friday the 18th.

Make SURE you sign in at the GTA table when you arrive Friday and especially Saturday. When you sign in you will be given the welcome letter along with your door prize ticket and a nametag to fill out. Our Saturday meal will be catered by a local fellow that will be cooking pulled pork, chicken and ribs there on site. When you sign up you will receive a meal ticket. You will present this ticket to get your GTA meal. No sign up, no ticket, no free food. LOL
The caterer will be charging those that do not present a ticket. This is the best way for us to control who gets fed on the GTA dime.

There will be some GREAT raffle items supplied by our vendors and members. They include FX, Brocock, Umarex and Crosman airguns and pistols. Steve Corcoran will be sending another of his masterpiece items. Neil Clague has donated an LDC. Nick Nielsen has sent a bunch of ammo. Thurmond of T3P Ranch AGS has donated a Boyd's TH stock for a Gen2 MRod. Some vendors have donated cash to help with expenses. There are several other great items to win, I don't have the full list in front of me at the moment. I will be posting a list of vendors and members to thank those that helped support the event. You NEED to be here to buy tickets to win these fantastic items. THANKS to our outstanding vendors and members for the support of our annual event!!!

If any of you craftsman and women have any airgun related items you would like to donate for raffle or door prizes, we are still graciously accepting your support.
Thanks all and see you there.

Below is the bridge truss #1 going into place a few days ago. You will understand and appreciate all of Eric's hard work once you actually see this in person. Once you walk out the back of the Expo Center heading toward the firing line, this will bridge the gap from land across a section of lake to the levee. GREAT job Eric!!!
