A family obligation I thought I had successfully avoided instead will require my attendance on June 18

So - no offense to y'all - but I'm praying for rain so that this gets pushed to the 25th .... of course, I'm praying for rain EVERY DAY right now just to get us out of this darn drought.

Anyway, probably wont' see y'all. But have fun, eat some BBQ for me and I'll catch the next one ...

Slight chance I may have a CHL class to teach that day, but if not I'll plan to be there.

So far, the most votes seem to be for Lone Star in Lockhart. I know that may be a little far to drive for some in west San Antonio or North Austin though.

Does anyone really prefer someplace else or should we assume Lone Star and start picking a date?

I have shot at both and both are good. Not sure on logistics of either for a large crowd. The shooting "bays" at Bracken (used for IDPA etc) are a bit narrow compared to the slightly wider bays at Austin Rifle Club (where I usually shoot IDPA) and the ridiculously large bays at Best of the West in Liberty Hill. Haven't been to Lone Star in more than a year, but seem to remember its pistol bay - while being the standard "stand here behind this bench and don't move forward" set up - is wide enough for 10-plus shooters at one time (assuming we could somehow get all the shooting positions at once).

Either one I think will work and I'd attend at either if I"m available on the chosen day.

Lockhart DOES have the better barbecue, however. And I still have not been to the new Kreuz's BBQ (keep going back to the old one, now called "Smitty's"

Definitely interested ... suggest (off top of my head) Lone Star range near Lockhart and food at Kreuz's?
