Tequila Shooter Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Yul, thanks for all the work you’ve done. This thread is a testament to you and your commitment to our sport. Some of the pards you got pictures of I know, some I don’t, but by posting these pictures you’ve brought us all just a little closer. Once again thank you for being such a great ambassador of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Driving home to north county San Diego yesterday gave me a lot of time to reflect on my 2022 EOT experience. One huge thing that I noticed was the number of younger participants, by younger I mean younger than 50 or there abouts. It seemed to me that nearly every posse had shooters in their teens or twenties and I don’t believe I’ve seen that at my previous EOT’s, I could be wrong but that’s how it looked to me. Had covid lockdowns not been in force in many countries the international attendance numbers would have been much higher although I doubt that the German contingent would have had a swimming pool set up in their encampment like they used to at EOT’s in New Mexico, it was to cold for that. I believe that there were only flags from 3 foreign countries on display when in times past there would have been many more. I’m hoping that is the case for EOT 2023. There we’re pretty limited food vendors to choose from this year and that may have been covid related also. I’d expect at future EOT’s there will be more options. One thing that I’d like to see is a traffic light and better traffic turning lanes at the entrance to Ben Avery. Getting out of there at certain times of the day can be a real challenge. Highway 74 to Wickenburg is a heavily traveled 2 lane road. I’m sure this has been or is being talked about by the various agencies who deal with the roads and highways. On Tuesday evening there was a serious collision about 1/4 mile from the entrance that I’m talking about. The Ben Avery facility is the perfect place for EOT, in my opinion. There are plenty of hotel/motel accommodations within a few miles as well as a wide variety of restaurants. RV camping at the facility itself is plentiful and there are numerous other RV parks nearby. I heard a few people mention moving EOT dates later into March or even April but from what I was told there, there are 160+ other shooting and other interests that utilize the range and getting later dates would be nearly impossible. As I’m writing this the range has taken on a whole new appearance. Most of the removable facades, boardwalk and other EOT related structures are probably down by now and by this evening you won’t even be able to tell that there had been an EOT. By contract they have through Tuesday but the finely tuned army of Arizona Rangers started work early yesterday tearing it all down. Sadly I won’t be able to attend the dinner that’s put on to thank the army of volunteers who made this EOT possible but next year I plan on attending.

A couple could not make it this year but should return. As to the turning light . The shooter's entrance has a light and a turning lane. I suspect you were camping at the range though and that entrance can be a problem depending on the time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spending the week with Yul put the biggest smile on my face. I'm still smiling looking forward to working with him next year. And next year Yul, you REALLY have to stay for the Ranger appreciation dinner. It's our chance to pay you back in a small way for all of your hard work.
