Raven,
I'll have 2 target stands available for next year again. I'll work on rebuilding the one that got shot to hell with the Barrett. Do you know what happened to the green drawstring bag for that one? I got the pieces back, but not the bag. And - I assume we left all the wooden uprights at Shadow's for next year?

Re: The 5th Anniversary of The End of Summer Sizzler
In the midst of the Saturday Night orgy (and following recovery), I missed that one.
I wonder if anyone packed it as chair bag...
(Troops, we're missing green drawstring back for disassembled target stands: contact LadyDoc when found).
I'll be bringing 3 new stand sets, but in 2" OD now, just like yours, so we will avoid last moment hack-sawing and accompanying drama of putting the square peg into round hole.
(To the giggling perverts: I am talking about PVC piping!!!).
I will buy extra 1x2" uprights as well (10-12 pcs?), regardless of condition of the current ones.
We can always strap the midgets to any leftovers.

I can throw some target stands together too if we need more.

It's all depends on how many lanes we can support (Ferret is in charge), but having few extras won't hurt.
That way we'll have flexibility between two shooting sites (FOB Chief and rifle range down the road).

Design found by LadyDoc:
" I found the design on The Box O Truth
http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/edu24.htm
They used 1 1/2 " pvc, I used 2", but I'm sure it doesn't matter. ".
Personally, I found 2" OD piping easier to accomodate 1x2" wooden uprights, holding the carton backings.

Re: The 5th Anniversary of The End of Summer Sizzler
Until we get a bigger range, and for safety reasons...
We will keep the number of stands, targets, and shooters
the same as Sizzler 4.
It worked, and was sufficient for our masses.

We'll need to move it to a military base if we want a bigger range.

Re: The 5th Anniversary of The End of Summer Sizzler
Uhhhhh I think I may get a tad bit of flack from the Sheriff here in the county about the rpg. I have heard he has a bio saying that he served with division as an MP back in the day. I may have to get my google fu skills out and see what I can find. I have invited him here but to date no joy in getting him here.

Re: The 5th Anniversary of The End of Summer Sizzler
I'm already stoked.
Looking for thoughts on:
1. Having Military equipment on scene for a show and tell (IE. military vehicles and such).
2. Inviting local VFW's or AL to event.
