To my fellow KY shooters....
I am trying to organize a shoot at Rock Castle Shooting Center. In light of the Mammoth Comp I think this is a great facility and is heading for big things. It is an easy drive from about anywhere in KY. It takes me just a under 2hrs to get there and that's taking it easy on the accelerator
I want to know a few things from you guys:
1) Who is interested?
2) What TYPE of shoot do you want?
- Strictly Long Range?
- Set distances? 100-500 yards? 500-1000 yards?
- Scattered targets? Do you all want to move around and try different "stages" like a competition?
3) Will you want to spend the night? Drive down on a Friday, stay the night, then shoot all day Saturday and part of sunday? Tell me what type of schedule you want to see?
Anything else you all can think of will help me make this KY Shoot more enjoyable for us all. I am not going to say who can and cant come, if you are from surrounding states, get with me and we will figure it out. I want to try and get the ball Rolling on this with Nick quickly so I can set the shoot for the end of February or beginning of March.
I will try and work this out to be a regular calendar event with RCSC. Maybe having 2-3 shoots a year and more if the demand is there. They told me rates can and will change if we fill up the hotel. That makes the visit more worth while and helps them get money together to fund more targets, range supplies and so on.
Let me know your ideas! I am in contact with Nick and he is awaiting our response.

I have an update:
February 25-27. That is Friday thru Sunday!
Rock Castle shooting center as agreed to let us have a SNIPERs HIDE Member Shoot. We are going to have to limit the numbers for this one. This is going to be the trial run so to speak for scheduling a monthly shoot out there. All of this of course is weather permitting and I am coordinating with Nick on room/food package prices AND a range fee. Please remember the money you spend to use the facilities is not much in comparison to what you get in return. Our money goes back to RCSC for improvements on the range and hotel.
This is going to be a 25 Member Shoot.
We are working on multiple stages of shooting, THIS IS NOT A MATCH.
Distances will be from 100-300 yards at one location and out to 1600 in another. We are doing a weekend event, stay in the hotel and meet your fellow shooters. (The food is excellent in the lodge)
I will bring steel targets out, RCSC will also provide some steel. If you have any that you would like to bring..... please get with me and let me see what you have. Safety is #1.
I am trying to coordinate this all for a fun and safe weekend of shooting. You do NOT have to be a highly trained LR shooter, if you want to come out and see what this is all about then do it! We will make sure you have fun. If you want to see anything in particular, as far as range setup. Let me know. I am going to head down there a couple times before our shoot and scout for locations and how to setup the steel.
I think this will be a great time and hopefully a regularly scheduled event!

Their food is really good, I have tried it! </span>
Range Fee:
I have talked with Nick on the range fee. They are posted below. This is the pricing for the shooting event. You will pay these prices and nothing more, except for your food/room charges. RCSC has been very kind with their pricing. We need to take advantage of it and put the facility to good use.
