SilverLocks Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) Travelin’ Travis and I are making a trip to Wartrace 2026. We had originally planned to go with our “boy” Major Art Tillery. Unfortunately, he was killed by an impaired driver in Jan of 2025. Travis and I decided we would go anyway. Major is worth the effort. We made a promise to him. Several of our shooting family had planned to go. However, due to circumstances beyond their control (that thing called work) they have had to drop out. Wartrace is slated June 4-6 Travis and I have a lovely cabin rented on Air B&B for June 2-7. It is near Normandy. We are making a vacation of the trip. There is a second bedroom, and bathroom available for 2 additional guests. We would like to open up the stay to another shooter or two. Please contact me for details if interested.

Diamond Jake Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I sadly never met the Major, though he bought one of the shotshell loading trays I make, and I bought some stuff from him. I was hoping to meet him at Wartrace before the accident. I'm glad you're still making the trip, and I'm sure you'll have a good time at our club. See you there. Quote

We are excited to make the match. This is our big trip of the year. Every other trip is a single day drive. This one will allow us to sightsee along the way. I lived in Nashville and Murfreesboro for a number of years. I have always said, Tennessee is the only place to which I would willing return. Travis has not been to Tennessee so it is a treat for him. We will bring the required Cherry Mash and RC Cola in honor of Major. 5 Quote
