Yul Lose Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 My wife followed me over to the range from San Diego and we left my truck and trailer here and headed up to Sedona for a get together with family up there. We left Sedona this morning in a snow storm. It’s been raining and a little hail here back at the Ben Avery Range, home of EOT. Hopefully over the next week I can pass along some of the fun and flavor of EOT to those of you unable to attend.
Wrangler Bob Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Thank you, Yul. I have friends attending EOT and it would be interesting to see the site.
Texas Maverick Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Doesn't look like fun weather to shoot in even if it is EOT. Guess you make the best of what you get. Good luck to everyone and stay safe. No extra holes when you come back home. TM
Yul Lose Posted February 27, 2023 Author Posted February 27, 2023 Talked with a whole bunch of old friends this afternoon and the Rangers provided a great lunch and some recognition awards. Nine Toe Joe received a standing ovation when he was presented with a huge poster with words of affection from his fellow rangers, he’s been doing that job for 19 years!!!! I’m glad I brought along a propane tank and portable fire pit to warm things up in the Cart Corral, might be a popular hangout a couple of days this week. Seems to me that there are more vendors this year and I’ll post some of their pictures tomorrow. I brought some good back up power devices for my phone this year so running out of battery power shouldn’t be an issue this year. I’m probably going to get a lot of aliases wrong because I’ll have so many thrown at me so if I get it wrong please let me know. Singing Sue gave me the first hug and then because I had my buffalo coat on the women couldn’t keep their hands off of me, pictures tomorrow.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Yul is in a good spot to view and talk to the shooters. This diagram is not to scale but I have added a box showing the location of the cart corral and Cowboy Fast Draw. Stages one through four are right in front of the cart corral and everyone going to or from stages one through four has to pass directly in front of Yul.
DeaconKC Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 I hope to make it next year just to get to meet so many folks from the forum.

I'm guessing the rest are from Sedona area. kR
