Sedalia Dave Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 For anyone thinking about crossing the Mississippi river at Memphis the I-40 bridge is still closed. Currently late August is the best guess for it to reopen. All the traffic is being routed to the I-55 bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 We are going the Northern route!!! Dang SS...(ha! Just noticed THAT SS!) I have not begun to clean out the rig, repack or even finish ammo! You got it going on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently late August is the best guess for it to reopen. All the traffic is being routed to the I-55 bridge. And traffic on I-55 is very much stacked up during anything resembling normal hours. I took that route on the way to the Mississippi State shoot in Byhalia. At around noon on Thursday, 5/27, it took 46 crawling-bumper-to-bumper minutes to get from West Memphis to Crump Blvd. on the east side of the river. Be prepared if you have to go that way. The flip side is that there was no traffic at all when I left at 5:00 AM to head back home on Monday, 5/31... CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think that I am seeing some casting and reloading today and perhaps a quick trip to the range to test some ammo. Having fun can be lots of work! Hochbauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Hill Dave #59561 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 We are coming around the long way.

Now headed to the top of the country to swing around upper Michigan, then come back down by Detroit then End of Trail. Seeing a lot of the USA that never been to before, and shootin along the way.

doc roy l. pain Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Don’t know the exact amount but most 12 stage matches will probably have 8 stages with 4 shotgun and 4 stages with 6. Of course if you have a lot of make ups you need to figure that in. I take 3 boxes for main match. That always keep my belt full. If I need more than that, I should have stayed home.

DeaconKC Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Here is Murphy's Rule of Ammo Use: Count the stages, multiply by 6, then double that amount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Sassy had to cancel out Thursday due to eye issues resulting in extreme light sensitivity and pain. Brother and grand daughters will keep her happy. She of course would not have it that I not make my 21st EOT. Long time friend, Texas Jim Henry, will be my traveling partner leaving Saturday morning hoping to arrive at range Sunday afternoon to possibly leave cart somewhere then on to Hampton in Warsaw. Meant to go to West Memphis then up I55/57 but with above info might look to going up thru Jonesboro, AR. then over to 55. Try to make it as far north as Marion or Mt Vernon, IL on Saturday. You all be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion on another thread about which posses would be shooting when have caused me to reconsider this one. We're going to leave Monday afternoon, spend the night at a Holiday Inn Express in Tennessee, then roll in around lunch time Tuesday. I figure that way I'll not only be more rested, I'll be really really smart.....for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.
