Mountainman,
Where is Vallonia, Indiana? Some of us come over to shoot at Allen Coon's range in Glenwood, but never  heard of Vallonia.

Southern Indiana, smokingbuck. Just south of Seymour if you know were that is located. The aspect of our shoot that will scare most guys away is the 14 lbs limit. Thanks for the interest and I would be glad to answer any other ?'s.

14# isn't scarey, it's manageable for some of us. My  primary chunk gun and table gun would both make weight. Don't know where Seymore is, can you give me a relationship to Friendship or Nashville?

Looks like you are due west of Friendship. Would make a long day but not impossible. How about posting your next event with a little notice.
