    It will soon be "Pothole Season". That's when today's trapshooters get to whine about the potholes at the CC. I am not saying the holes won't be there.

    The Tri-State had more than just potholes. You wouldn't take anything nicer than an old ford pickup with a 300. Four wheel drive and a high suspension was perfect. Some folks pulled campers. Only a few dared take an RV.

    You had to drive with an eye on the high wall while the passenger watched the cliff below.

    I am guessing today's CC shooters have some RVs valued at $300K. I am not sure that outcome would be good.

    The CC has near perfect trap fields and clean showers.

    The dust from the strip mine at the tri state probably kept the mosquitoes in check.

    The Tri-State didn't invest much in all the fluff. There was money. Lots of it. Gambling. Lots of it. And the targets sucked. The walkways were narrow ditches with their own eco system.

    The CC could spend a few hundred thousand $ fixing the lot. Which model is better?

    Where would you rather shoot? Whine about potholes or brag about the falling rocks you avoided?

    Does the perfect venue have money? Got something to shoot for other than points and I will dodge the potholes. Tri-state experience rocked!

    A full week at the Grand in Vandalia, then a weekend at the Tri-State.

    The Tri-State was a great shoot. So was the Grand in Vandalia. The shoots at the Cardinal Center are great. The shoots at Elysburg and Sparta are also great. Maybe even better since some bitter shooters that probably even whined in Vandalia aren’t going to them.
