Yes I feel the pain
Being a strong promoter of the Ft. McCoy event in the past, and getting the participation numbers up as well as having a very good average of shooting well there it is a pain to be doubled up on dates.
I have not heard anything from Nick until lately, I know that when I mentioned the date for the Badger Grinder to Marty, he stated that the day before Nick had called and was tossing some dates around.
Last year we shot the Ft. McCoy NCSA event the last weekend of June, again in Mid August and then again the last weekend of Sept. So with that and working out negotiations with the property owners of the location of the Grinder, we were able to lock in the second to the last weekend of Sept. with the last weekend being a backup <-> used if they do not have their corn off in the valley.
We were told that any earlier then the 20-21st would not work do to corn standing in the valley and the opener of Whitetail Bow hunting. After the 20-21st or the backup weekend being the 27-28th the range will be closed do to owners being gone, crop tillage and the owners - family members bow hunting on the property.
I know for a fact that scheduling at Ft McCoy this year was tuff with all the train ups scheduled and a few other things issues as well.
Will, stated once in this thread, that it sucks that Wisconsin has very little High End Tactical events in the area and then we end up having two of the best opportunities double up.
The estimated schedule for the Badger Grinder, if all works out well, would be
a Spring event the last weekend of May or the 1st weekend of June
a Fall event in the second from the last weekend in September - harvest back up being the last weekend of September.
and "possibly" a Badger Hibernator event in early December.
If anyone has any questions on the NCSA Ft McCoy event - ask, there are a few here that are familiar with this event.
In the past with NCSA events at Ft McCoy
Membership which is required in order to participate was $35.00 in which covers insurance on site.
Events entry fees were
Rifle short course $60.00 per person
Rifle long course $60.00 per person
Pistol course $20.00 per person

Oct... Hmmmm

We will be there Friday the 26th setting up and camping on top of the ridge by the black range. Are you planning on setting up camp or grabbing a hotel room?
Cheers

I will send you and Kirk some info tonight.
Would have been a fine weekend for some shootin' boys...
20mph winds down by Madison... It's the kind of wind down here that separates the men from the boys. A little rain too.
