LODGING NEARBY: 1 - Super 8 Burnham/Lewistown (cheaper) 12886 Ferguson Valley Rd Burnham, PA 17009-1839 US 717-242-8888 2 - Quality INN (nicer) 13015 Ferguson Valley Rd, Lewistown, PA (717) 248-4961 I have stayed in the QI, and it was clean and nice with ground floor rooms available. MATCH FEE: $100.00 per 2 shooter Team Details: The facility is excellent, and has a covered firing line. We just ran a UKD match there, and the club guys could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. The club usually has burgers/dogs and beverages available too. Please note that most of the shooting will be prone, and that approximately a 15° up angle is required past 800Y. Some with medical conditions may find this uncomfortable, but if you let us know AHEAD OF TIME we can make alternate arrangements if you request this. Some targets may be partially obscured, partially visible in a defilade, or hidden behind no-shoots. Most of the firing line is well covered, so we will be shooting rain or shine. Once you register we will email you payment and reporting instructions, and let you know when your fee has been received.
