Glad you can make it Mike...
All-
Here's the general timetable of events.
As many of you now know, we are not in the new place yet, so most of the activities will be at Quads' vrbo. I am happy to show the new place to anyone interested. We're very close but still a couple weeks away from final inspection.
I have a portable table that I can bring over along with however many chairs we want. I was thinking about doing that Thurs morning. That way it will be available all weekend for use. Hopefully the place will have a dining table that is suitable for a 2nd table.
Thurs late morning-early afternoon: Top golf near Talking Stick in Scottsdale- coordinate attendance with Jiggs.
Thurs afternoon.. 2-3ish, I'll show up at the All American Sports Grill in FH and secure us a table on the patio.
We will bs and catch up for a few hours, eat and drink etc... We will also decide who is going to be the advance scout to go out early Friday morning to secure us a good spot.
Friday 8am meet at Quads' place for briefing and departure. It's getting really hot now so we need to get out there early. Shoot for a few hours, come back and relax, do whatever til evening, when I'll have the bbq delivered.
One other note- Tonto NF has a target restriction in place from now thru 2023, so basically paper, cardboard, clays, and std metal swinging targets. (Pete will you be able to bring the targets from your warehouse? Let me know if you need me to go get them) All other metal and stuff is prohibited. Big fines and they do patrol so unfortunately no bottles cans etc type stuff.

Update for shooting
I'll be staying at the casino we po ka or some thing like that.
Arriving Thursday mid-day and leaving Monday.
I will bring a canopy, folding tables to the shooting and Bill's metal targets, Will be getting some clay targets to spread around and shoot at along with paper targets but I have no stands to place them on or enough room to bring any stands. I'll be getting things together this Saturday.
Staying in Chandler and working right now.

And I'll have stands assembled for IPSC silhouettes or other paper targets by next week. Just gotta buy some wood and break out the saw and drill.

You make sure there's a poker table in the living room of the vrbo, and I will pay your airfare for 2023!
