This Saturday's (May 21) 22 Silhouette match is cancelled. We have standing water on the Turkey line with no good alternative target location. I'll have the range set up for some informal practice if anyone comes out.

Going to have to stock that turkey line with catfish one of these days.

[bryany]

I tried to get geese to set still on the water but they kept moving around. It was about as bad as shooting chickens.

The solution appears to be to build up the turkey target berm so that even when we have water, the range can still be used. I just need enough dry weather to move a lot of sand with our little tractor. Providing a drain path for the pond would require a lot more earth moving due to the lay of the land.

The way that sits down in the bottom providing drainage would be a multi million dollar project. You'll have plenty of hot dry weather in August to move that berm

[Kurt]

We had a water runoff problem on one of out ranges making it unusable for some time. I took my backhoe over and laid some drain tiles close to the surface like a septic drain field and this took care of the standing water. It would be better if one could trench in a tile till you get to a lower area so it runs off on low ground.

I might be in the local by match time to make your match Brian

The lake was gone last week but two thunderstorms refilled it Sunday and Monday. The June 25th match is cancelled. With a little luck, the water will go away and I'll be able to get the kubota in there in the next couple of weeks.

[Don McDowell]

Ok we'll just reroute to some other interesting venue on the 25th then...

[bryany]

The water table in those sand dunes is rising I think. We just have to work around it.

[Don McDowell]

Been some heavy rainfall up there this spring. Maybe start a 22bpcr carp shooting contest...
