Hello everyone.
I am working on securing cheaper lodging for everyone attending this. I have my room and one other already reserved however I can get rooms at around 62+ tax for 2 double beds at a property less than 2 miles from the range.

I just need to have an idea of how many rooms we will need.

Is this class going to be held at the indoor range or the outdoor range? I'm not aware of any lodging near the outdoor range.

Do you have an address for the outdoor range? I was going off of the information provided. How far away is the outdoor range?

Far far away.

[BillOH]

It's about 15 miles of crooked roads from the motels in Marietta to the outdoor range. here's a map: http://www.gssfonline.com/schedule_etc/images/Match_Maps/Ohio-MOH-Map.jpg

Also the Fort Harmar maps to both ranges. http://www.fortharmar.com/maps.html

[kwelz]

Assuming that map is somewhat to scale we are looking at about 17 mile from the hotel to the range. I can look at alternatives if you all wish.

But considering I normally drive an hour for our local classes my sympathy is minimal. :)

[BillOH]

To the best of my knowledge, the motels in Marietta are the closest to the outdoor range. It's kind of out in the country. :)

Are you going to be in class with us?

[BillOH]

Are you going to be in class with us?

No, I'm just familiar with the range. I shoot IDPA there.

No not yet;), I got a S&W M&P. Hell of a wedding gift!

Good choice. That is what I run.
He can do amazing work to them.



Alright guys, I just spoke with Mr. Reno, the Executive Director of the range.

The Hotels I have us in are the closest to the range. Total distance is about 17-18 miles so my earlier guess was pretty close.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks to BillOH for pointing out my mistake in the distance, etc.

[Violator]

Thats not too bad. I'm not really worried about a short drive like that. I just can't wait to get out there and bust some caps. My pistol skills need much improving.
