RE: Advice on Bedford shoot.....
It would seem ib4hoyt has a slightly evil sence of humor. As you may have guessed, one thing that Bedford was not blessed with was the sandy soil like in the panhandle. The weather can be anything from sunny in shorts and tee shirt to cold wet rain and mud. I'd suggest a good selection of weather related clothes options for this shoot. But, if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise, (yes - that has happened) we will be having fun in the sunshine. As far as the shoot its self, Bedford always sets a good challenging range. The targets are typically spread out a little more than the southern shoots you attended, so be prepared for a little more walking. If you can, I suggest shooting at least a portion of your targets on friday, with saturday being the busiest part of the weekend. You will find more vendors, more competitors, and potentially many more new friends. Be prepared to be challenged both physically and mentally, and we'll all come away better for the effort.
I hope that answered your questions. I am looking forward to seeing you and everyone else in a couple of weeks.
