Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Competitive Shooting Lodi, 2011 F-class Nationals

I should be in Lodi during the day this coming Sunday. I am staying at the Best Western Country Inn. I will be at the range bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Monday morning.

Who else is coming, time to sound off.

Denys

And I have a whole range of new excuses for you losers. (See the other thread here.)

Our crew hope to meet up at the range around 4 Sunday to pick up our packets. We've also got rooms at the Country Side Inn...

See you there!

I am coming in this Friday. See you guys there

Looking forward to letting you guys buy me a beer. I'm busy loading some ammo for my backup rifle. Thank the Loard for the RCBS Chargemaster.

Denys

Just back from Alaska.

Best of luck at Lodi and most of all, have a blast. Oh yeah have fun too! Grins!

Drag back some bling eh?

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. I will bring my camera.

We will be rolling in on Sat. anyone know a good place to eat.

This is Wisconsin we are talking about. Their cuisine is famous for, err, huh, well, something. Probably pigs knuckles and cheese. Mapquest shows a couple of cafes on Corner Street; Luci's and Downtown's. There is also an Amoco station, I hope you like jerky.

Loading ammo all day today, heading out early tomorrow morning. Should get in to Lodi late Friday afternoon. IIRC we're staying at the Comfort Inn out by the freeway.

There is some little restaurant over on the edge of a lake that has pretty good food... sorry, don't remember the name - last time I was in Lodi (2008) was kind of a blur and not in a good way. The cheese curds were pretty good, though.

You probably mean Fitz's On The Lake.

BTW, The BW Contryside Inn is by the freeway also.

With Madison being a college town there's got to be a few good places to eat down there. Hopefully at least an Applebees

You boys driving in have a safe trip! Im looking at an 8 hour drive, thinking some of you have double that to look foward to...

Busy loading ammo as well in time for an early morning Sunday departure from Quantico to arrive at the Best Western Sunday evening. I grew up accross the lake and graduated from Madison 10 years ago so it'll be fun to show some of the out of town guys a couple of old haunts during the evenings.

Madison had some good places to eat some years ago, and had some pretty good clubs too... 20 something in a college town on weekends was interesting to say the least...

I was just up there last weekend shooting BPTR Creedmoor.

For my money, the best place to eat on Saturday is either Fitz's or "The Bridge". They are across the street from each other, just north of town about 3 miles.

The fish fry on Friday night at either of those places is what makes Wisconsin Wisconsin. Don't miss it.

BTW, the lucky target is #14. Although we did manage to break it on Saturday. It was repaired and working better than ever on Sunday, and it was damn sure the hot target.

Have fun, the range is in beautiful condition. I'm sure you will all have a great time.

I can't remember if I've ever been to Wisconsin; I think it's one of the few of the 57 states I have not visited. However, Mapquest shows Lodi to be in the middle of what is commonly refered to as "nowhere" and dozens of miles away from Madison. I am way past the age where I look forward to cavorting in college towns and night clubs are just not my thing and haven't been for several decades.

I am bringing this here laptop and the hotel does have Internet, one reason I am staying there. My laptop has a built-in blu-ray player and an 18 inch screen and if there is a Redbox in the area, I may just catch up on movies while posting pictures of the event on the Internet. Tasteful pictures, of course.

Pizza and beer at the Grumpy Troll brewpub in Mt. Horeb (45 min from Lodi) is worthwhile on the way in or out of Lodi if you are traveling Highway 151 towards or from Illinois/Iowa.

Looking at your profile, are you ubiquitous?

We will be driving via Mt. Horeb so recommendation duly noted.

I wish, but I have lived in all of those places enough to get resident hunting/fishing tags in them. I go a few other places too, esp. to shoot.

BTW, there is a nice collection of grills at the range and nice shelter there where you guys can team up and grill some burgers or chops or whatever in the evenings.

Anybody that wants to hire a kid to work the pits for you should call Karen L. She says that enough kids to cover all the registered shooters have signed up. Weather or not all will show up is an unknown. 8-9 am cst is a great time to call her.

Last I heard there wouldn't be any paid pullers...
