    It is on Rt. 173 in Antioch. It is the first drive on the south side of the road after the river if your heading west from Antioch.

    And JZ yes I work at 3:30 everyday!

    bfr5- If you are going I would take 12 up to 59 into Antioch. When you get to the light at 173(Jewel & Ace) on the corners make a left then go down maybe 3 miles and just 10 yards after the river it will be on your left. Probably take you 35 minutes or so from Hawthorne Woods.

    Thanks for the info. Having issues with my aftermarket knee, so Monday is unlikely, but a place to practice with BH's bears checking out.

    Well the practice shoot was fun.
    did not realize 4 of us are all team captains. So we had a little captains challenge shot.
    Best of 3 arrows in 5" pie plate at 30 yards.
    So I am expecting to see in each of team 13 ( 2 arrows) and 26's (1 arrow) threads how team 28's (3 arrows) captain is the sh#$:o:whip:
    Either way it was a good day and good to get out and shoot with demonpep, Ferg, & Kristine.
