    Agreed, Saturdays are always slammed at any range. But I do believe we could claim a bay at ETTS right? RJAcobs, care to confirm or disprove? Cause if we could do that busy or not wouldn't matter.

    I would have to talk to the owner and see if thats possible. Ive honestly never asked.

    Once you get there and you claim a bay, its yours until you leave, but to pre-claim a bay, not sure. They will bring whatever steel out you want generally too. Last time I took a small group on a Saturday we had no problem getting a pistol bay, although it was 100 degrees outside.

    The 2nd and 3rd weekends of every month they have competitions(steel match and 3 gun), but those are usually limited to pistol bays and the un-known distance range. The first weekend might be IPSC, but its not run by ETTS. The bigger AR bays are usually not used although I have seen one of the back bays being used for CCW range time. The long range is hit or miss with it being busy.

    Mar 11/12 and 25/26 I am available. Apr 1/2 are also a possibility, but we are supposed to move into a new house right about that time, so the other dates would be preferable.

    Looking at ETTS's calendar, Mar 12 is an open day with no classes or competitions.

    Yeah I would assume we'd have to get there fairly early to claim a bay. That's kinda what I was getting at. But if we could get it prior that would be cool too. We should definitely make this a reoccurring thing for guys that can't make the first meet dependent on dates.

    I'm up for being there when they open. 0800 or 0900 start. I'll lobby for Sunday, Mar 12.
