Ok, guys, sorry for being MIA for a while, I have had a lot going on; Your patience and support are much appreciated, and I am in your debt, those of you who have reached out.
Now, for the good news!
The Shoot is ON!
We couldn't do October (obviously), so we are set for the weekend of November 23rd, 2019; that is about a month out, and it's the week BEFORE Thanksgiving, so it won't interfere with holiday plans; The weather should be excellent, and we are looking forward to a good outing; members may begin arriving and setting up camp as early as Wednesday November 20th; This is what we are looking at this time out:
For those of you who have never been to one of these or are just joining us, this is our semi-annual get together and shooting event, with competitions, open range time, classes, and lots of good food and fun; we stay right on site in a beautiful oak-shaded camping area , with electricity for the campers as well as hot showers , running water, and the joys of indoor plumbing, so it's not really "camping" as much as it is "sleeping on an air mattress in a tent with electricity or in an RV or a camper";...heck there are even a few hotels not too far away for the tender-foot non-camping folks... We provide all of the meals (really excellent food, too, and lots of it) as well as a lot of other fun stuff; there are 4 different shooting competitions, a few range days, and a nice class; at night we have a bonfire and some great times out in the country. If you've never been, you should come on down, it's a great time, with great people.

The event is open to all Survivor's SKS Board members and their guests;
friends, family, and kids are welcome as always.
As always, we will be at the Hendry range, with on-site camping and festivities; For you folks who need to map it, the address is
700 Whitt Road, Clewiston, FL. Members may arrive on site
any time on Wednesday the 20th, to set up camp and relax, and socialize; We will do some range time and maybe some trap/skeet time on Thursday, the 21st, and The Shoot events begin the morning of
Friday the 22nd at 9:00 AM;
on Friday we will be running an open- division, long range rifle competition- 450 yards, any center fire rifle caliber platform, optics, brand, or setup; After that, We will be have some open pistol/rifle range time and then break for lunch The afternoon will bring a pistol class, this time out it will be "time to target: combat handgun fundamentals and getting that first accurate shot off; I will post the gear list for it soon;
Saturday the 23rd will feature an open range day (starting at 8:00 AM)
, competitions, prizes, a social hour/cocktail hour, a huge BBQ banquet, an awards presentation, games, door prizes, and a really good time just hanging out around a roaring campfire with your fellow SKS Board members and friends.
Sunday the 24th is the big farewell breakfast, and we take the group picture, break camp , and head home late morning....
Now, as always, It's a preregistration event, with a prepay; We have scaled down a bit, and lowered the cost by doing so; It's $60 for the whole shebang, a screaming deal for what you get....
