It should be posted somewhere as it passed 9 May 11. Maybe they don't have it updated yet but none the less it has passed.

Someone asked today at the meeting about where to shoot the .50 and it was met with the deer in the headlight look. The problem the DOW has with the .50 is not the round or the rifles but the person shooting. Apparently at some range or ranges knuckheads with .50 shot the heck out support posts and steel targets. So it was a matter of 1 or 2 idiots screwing it up for the rest of us as usual.

I'll admit those of us here messed up big time as no one went to the range meeting that was held here in Salida about the .50. It was posted in the Mountain Mail two or three weeks prior to the meeting and as a group we brain farted and forgot about it. So no one showed to show support for the .50. DOW said they would have gladly gave a waiver for the CCR but no one asked. If given the waiver we would still have the problem of 1 or 2 idiots destroying our steel targets and support posts.
