I'd sure like to attend. First week of August would be tough though.

Ok, we have the blessing of the directors. Waiting on the match director to call me. I know the third and fourth Saturdays are out. Looks like first or second. See you soon, moodyholler

September 27th or August 27th?

In Roanoke...10-4?

moodyholler · Post by **moodyholler** » Wed Jun 25, 2008 6:59 pm

Sept, 27, at Roanoke, Rifle, And Revolver Club south of Roanoke. There is a website with detailed directions from any direction. There is a small amount of camping space, with porta-johns and unpotable water. Since the range is covered, there will be no rain-date. I am working on some metal targets at this time. There will be a fee for the range use. I hope that meets everyone's approval. Thanks, moodyholler

Directions on Mapquest or Google Map are excellent 3hrs and 45min drive time from St.Albans. The Club has an excellent web site. I am a player for the Sept 27 date. It's on my calender. Are there any motels close to the club.I would plan on coming down on Friday.What would be the start time on Sat? Maybe we could get togather for breakfast or supper on Sat evening. Anybody have any comments or thoughts on the idea??? Sounds like a really great time !!!!!

Bruce in WV · Post by **Bruce in WV** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:53 pm

Motels in the area and get together sounds like a good time. We've been talking about staying over on Saturday instead of driving home right away. Sun AM going home will be easier.

Hey there levergunner lovers. I know I'm a little late responding to your post but I just read it. Can I get in on this meeting and shooting thang ? i'm approx 4 hours from Roanoke. Do y'all mind if I bring my son ? He's a levergunner,also. Let me know ?

shawn_c992001 · Post by **shawn_c992001** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 9:05 am

If anyone would like to ride together just let me know. I live just outside of Beckley and I'm going right down I-64.

I'm sure no one will mind 99savage308.

99savage308 · Post by **99savage308** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 8:17 pm

This sounds like a good time for sure and breakfast before the levergunning would be most pleasing. me and the boy plan to head out on Friday. I'm going to take a day off for this. What is the web site address for that gun club ?
.

shawn_c992001 · Post by **shawn_c992001** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:28 am

Just wondering what everyone is thinking about bringing to shoot. I can bring my 50BMG if anybody is interested.

I'm thinking of bringing my '95 Marlin, and Winchester, 1894CL 32-20, and a scoped 94 30-30.

moodyholler · Post by **moodyholler** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 6:17 pm

99, here is the website. Should have posted it already. www.roanokerifle.com
Shawn, sounds like an impressive list. What kind of targets do you fellows want to see? Steel? What ranges? Thanks, moodyholler

shawn_c992001 · Post by **shawn_c992001** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 7:14 pm

Steel sounds good, ranges 50-200 sounds good.

MikeS. · Post by **MikeS.** » Thu Jul 03, 2008 5:27 pm

I'll be bringing my .22lr, .357mag, .44mag and .30-30 lever guns and my Marlin Camp 9 and XD pistols.

I'd be up for meeting for breakfast Saturday morning but have to be back home for work at 2300 that night.

I'll be driving down from N of Winchester if anyone wants to ride along and share some of the gas cost. If you can meet with my time line above.

Mike

I'll be traveling from north of St.Albans,WV. Traveling the same route as you will. Down 77south to 64 east onto 81 south.

I'm about 25 minutes outside of Beckley on St. Rt.3, my zip code is 25007 if you want to Google it. My brother actually lives in St. Albans, and a really good friend down there too.

sharps54 · Post by **sharps54** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 8:14 pm

I hope you guys have a great time! I'll be in Gretna that day at a Schuetzen match so I can't make it but maybe next time.

SharpsShooter · Post by **SharpsShooter** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 12:02 pm

Hey Moodyholler,

Thanks for the heads up for the shootin meet. Sounds like a blast, pardon the pun. I'll figure on making the trip.

Welcome Sharpshooter, I love the little town of Rainelle, I'm from just north of White Sulphur Spgs.

SharpsShooter · Post by **SharpsShooter** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 6:34 pm

Thanks for the welcome Shawn. The first home my wife and I bought was 4 miles south of Neola. I know that area pretty well.

shawn_c992001 · Post by **shawn_c992001** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 7:27 pm

My parents live just 1/2 a mile across the Pocahontas county line on "Wildcat Run Rd" that's where I was raised. I'm pretty good friends with Mike Counts at The Buck Stops Here Taxadermy in Rainelle also.

moodyholler · Post by **moodyholler** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 11:58 am

Hey, you should keep your milage and we will all clap loudly at the fartherest one travelled. BTW, I think I will camp ovenight Friday at the range, and maybe cook up some grub Saturday morning? I know a pot of coffee will go well. Let me know your thoughts. Kinda' getting excited about this shoot. Has everyone found the link to the club yet? We will be on Range C. Later, moodyholler

SharpsShooter · Post by **SharpsShooter** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 10:42 am

Moody,

The coffee sounds good and your cooking never killed anyone important, so I vote yeah for both.

Boreman · Post by **Boreman** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:03 pm

MoodyH,etal----- Back in June I ask if anyone had any info on motels in the area of the range. Never did get an answer for the benifit of those of us who might want to arrive on Friday and are not familiar with the area. I tried to find some info based on the directions on the range's web site,did not have much luck.Any help would sure be appreciated.Thanks
PS- Do we have a start/stop time for range use ? I don't want to miss anything. LEVERGUNNER'S we only have 19 days left till range time will be on us.I am looking forward to this shoot. Regards, Boreman

Boreman · Post by **Boreman** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:09 pm

Shawn,I live in St Albans. Where in SA does your brother live? Is he going to attend the shoot in VA.Maybe we could share a ride if he is.

moodyholler · Post by **moodyholler** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 4:32 pm

Boreman, I have been in the hospital in ICU for a while. sorry for the delay. Roanoke is only 8-9 miles from the range, so any hotel here will be close enough. Boone's Mill is equal distant from the South. I will try to get you more info. Roanoke, Rifle, and Revolver Range has a website: RRRC.com I believe and I will check it out this evening. I think it lists some hotels recommended. Please PM me if this does not get you the info you need. Thanks, JAP moodyholler

airedaleman · Post by **airedaleman** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 7:52 pm

Good to see you back. I hope recovery is going well. You've been in our prayers constantly.

Boreman · Post by **Boreman** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 8:46 pm

MoodyH, Sorry to hear you have been under the weather.I hope everything is going well and you will be able to make the shoot.You have put ALOT of work in this project. Thanks for the motel info and the location to Roanoke. I did not realize it was that close to the range.Looking forward to the shoot. Boreman

shawn_c992001 · Post by **shawn_c992001** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 8:46 pm

Boreman, my brother lives on Knox Ave., he won't be attending. He's not a levergunner
