Watkins Feb match

[Don McDowell]

Might want to watch the weather and plan accordingly.
This in from Mr. Rix this morning.
Hello All,
The falling snow has me wondering what the range conditions will be like by the end of the week.
With the last few storms' snow still laying on the ground and more arriving today, I am not sure what the weekend range conditions will be.

The weather for Saturday is predicted to be good enough to hold the match but the ground conditions may precluded that.
I will try to get out to the range once or twice this week and see how it looks.

Load up and I will keep you posted.

Update from Michael
Sorry all,
The GGC Watkins BPCR Silhouette is Canceled due to poor conditions on the range and untenable ice and snow on the firing line.
I was out there a gain today with the plow (on my vehicle) and cleaned up the parking area of drifts but the Pig target area is full and the firing line has an eight inch layer of hard ice under 12 to 16" of total packed snow.

Just to see how it might work, I did try to pull out the ice and snow forward from the shooting line with the plow but is really did not make much of a dent in the ice pack. I tried!

I am worried we may not have much luck next month if the weather does not melt the firing line pack ice.
Hopefully we can shoot next month.
