Double D, When you host this Shoot next year in Montana, I bet you'll want to hear far more creative excuses from those Virginians! Come on. All you have to do is make it to Broomfield, CO! We will handle the driving from there. Of course, you will be in the rear with the gear, but just think of the excellent company you will have. You and Mike can talk about Martinis all the way to Floyd! Don't worry about fitting in; we have a place for everything except our powder charges. I know! Since they're in a low, large diameter tin, you can sit on that!!
See, like I just told you, a place for everything.
Below are a few pics so you everyone can see how nice this range really is:
One of Tim's mortars blasts a 2-Liter soda bottle with a water bursting charge out to 200 yards.
More of Tim's mortars; he came prepared!

This little howitzer could get an air-burst every time!
Mike shoots at the two Chalk-line chalk containers we had taped together at 200 yds. A hit on the the third shot, caused a huge cloud of blue dust to hang in the air like a giant, helium-filled, Smurf! Fun in Floyd!!
There were some Gonnes and smaller mortars there as well. I counted 15 Cannons and Gonnes on the firing line.
Last, but certainly not least, is this beautiful Confederate Coehorn with a very well done, authentic mortar bed built by a Floyd resident.
Now that you all know what the range looks like, will you join us in Floyd, VA?
Mike and Tracy
