ken as director of weather for the ibo, i thought you did an outstanding job of keeping me out of the rain. your direct link to the weather channel in our hotel room kept us dry. shot 20 friday and 20 saturday and had NO backups whatsoever, so to you and those that assisted you in setting the additional ranges, HATS OFF to you......i know it is a huge undertaking to put on a local shoot, and can only imagine the pains putting on the triple crown and the world shoot....a little mud is really no big deal....

i thought the ranges were set very well. the good shooters had to work a little bit, but the newer shooters didnt get beat up too bad. i thought range c was set very well, as well as d range.

we ran through the range so fast the chiggers and ticks couldnt keep up. i think they were stuck in the mud. i thought about knee high boots, but opted out, should have worn them...nothing a little water and soap wont fix though....

i only have one question, in respect to the semi pro shooters, why can they not shoot on friday? my buddy shoots semi pro, and had to wait until saturday to shoot, and needed sunday to finish up. we ended up staying an extra night to accomodate his range situation. is erie going to be the same? do we need to book an extra night there as well?
