Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Wayde, can't make that one. Big family thing with my daughter's first communion.

But if there is one at the end of July I'll make it if at all possible.

BTW, shooting at TVP Sunday cured me. I haven't needed a cane since I woke up yesterday morning.

 

[Breeze260]

Damn again lol, I have a good friend's wedding on the 18th go figure. I guess I'll just have to make the hour trip down on a normal day and get schooled the old fashion way. Thanks for the heads up though.

 

[Breeze260]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

No worries... The group of shooters we have at TVP are always willing to help other shooters. Every "match" is a training day if you pay attention.

Tom & Breeze

4 of us from Wisconsin will be making the trip your way to shoot the Head hunter on May 14th day time round, and the Intimidator on Sunday the 15th.

Our plans are to arrive early Friday to check zeros and if time, run the 200 to1200 to make sure everything’s ready to hit the weekend events.

Will it be ok to shoot Friday on the 200 – 1200 ?

Count us in for those weekends’ events May 14th &15th

Thanks
Jeff

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Unless there is lighting we are shooting.

Due to Mother Nature destroying the shooting building we need your help to make this day run a little smoother.

Please Try to have your rifle zero at 100yds and if you know the speed of your bullet go here and print a drop chart(1200yds). http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi
We will have you shoot to confirm. If you have a shooting mat bring it and water resistant walking shoes/boots.
Any questions please ask
Thanks

How bad is it? Need a maintenance day?

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

It's bad. The roof where the benches are is on the ground.

But, I'm sure Tom will make it better next time around.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

That is a shame. How bad is the damage? Was it insured? So sorry to hear about the destruction!

23 APRIL 2011 HeadHunter After Action Report:
Awesome day of shooting at TVP HeadHunter course of fire! The winds were making it a real challenge. 10mph to 26 mph gusts at times!!
Doping the Wind was the challenge of the day, but a great day to practice windy shooting!

I have a few videos I made sorry for the shaky quality but the wind was shaking the spotter, my camera, and me! I tried...

NOTE when viewing on youtube:
***ITS all HD VIDEO BUT ONLY IF YOU SELECT 720P AS YOUR VIEWING SELECTION ON TIMER BAR!!!720P LOOKS WAY CLEARER BUT TAKES TWICE AS LONG TO LOAD BUT IS WORTH THE WAIT, IF YOUR IN A HURRY LET IT LOAD AS FUZZY 360P A LITTLE LESS CLEAR BUT OK. 720P IS BEST WAY TO WATCH THEM . PAUSE IT LET THE LOAD COMPLETE RED BAR FULL THEN WATCH. *** Also use full screen mode.

Video of Stage #4 Head Hunter at Thunder Valley Precision in Coshocton, Ohio. Wayde 23 April 2011
Really Great shooting Wayde!!! Especially In these sustained 18 mph winds with gusts to 26 on this particular stage!
Watch those heads Flop!

Great day for wind doping

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

4 weeks ago TVP dodged a small funnel cloud just before daylight on a warm rainy morning. It was to the North and passed between my house and the neighbors. It managed to topple a few 1000 yards targets and down a couple of my 200 year old oak trees out back.
This last Tuesday morning mother nature tried again and after 9 years of high winds and countless storms she sent another funnel cloud that did the job this time. It came across the south field
and simply mowed over the building totally destroying it. It managed to crush some tables and benches and Waydes custom TVP info center he built for us. You can actually see where the tail of the tornado came across the field..through the building and up to position 2 rearranging some of our trees on the course.
Word of advice..if your house starts to breath like a paper bag and the walls and ceiling are actually creaking..it's a tornado.
I apologize for the set back this will cause us and some of our shooters. We will simply have to adjust and rebuild in due time.
This is a VERY busy time with trying to get folks rifles built and training days accomplished without our much needed shelter and benches. I think alot of shooters this week saw the importance of having that building there and they miss it already. As of now we are waiting on the insurance co. to tell us what we can do next and if they are going to cover the damage.
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused for some of our shooters and trainees we've had to cancel.
We hope to have the mess cleaned up ASAP. It will be a long process due to the tangled wreckage and not so simple deconstruct process.
We are however still open for business for practice and range days on the steel course or forward line of the shooting building.
As Wayde explained the newbie shoot will still be a go and we will do our best to show all the shooters a good time.

Thanks,
TVP

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

I think the important thing is that no one was hurt.

As for your apologies, you dont owe us an apology. You didnt do this.

This is just something that takes time to return to normal. I would bet you probably have some improvements in mind already.

If we can do anything to help, please let us know.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Dang looks like that shelter took a serious hit, That sucks!!

 

[J.A. Hamilton]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Wow. That is crazy! to see the entire thing blown over. I was expecting that it would have torn off sheet metal and ripped off chunks, not toppled the entire thing over.

Sorry again Tom.

Josh

 

[flounderv2]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Wow, that sucks. I cant believe it just toppled like that and the roof didnt come off.

Sorry to hear about the bad luck.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Damn Tom that sucks sorry to see that hopefully everything go well with the insurance company.

 

[Kentucky Jelly]

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

Glad no one was hurt.

Any one have any suggestions where to stay up that way? Not too picky as long as it is clean. Looking forward to this weekend regardless of the condition.

Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule
