The US Open and WSRC still can't attract shooters.

    The Cardinal Center draws more to the Buckeye than the US Open and WSRC. All the added money and extra points....and all the wasted money that goes into promoting that joint could be going to promoting trapshooting. JOKE

    Caterpillar left Illinois for Texas, I think this just about how user friendly Illinois is--what really irks me about Sparta is the following:

    Lack of lodging close by

    Lack of good restaurants nearby

    Most important the risk of high temperature. & the distance to medical facilities--Leo could have survived his stroke if help wasn't so far away

    If u build a great facility in the middle s--ts creek, it doesn't matter how good the facility is -its still in s--ts creek

    By my count:
    Event Entries Buckeye: 3,462
    Event Entries US Open: 3,734 (Without extra event Saturday 3,467)
    (US Open did have 1 more event than the Buckeye)

    US Open: 30 States Represented
    Buckeye: 13 States/Provinces Represented

    If only they were not on the same weekend.

    This claim above is an outright disgrace.
    Cardinal Center to Grady Memorial Hospital - 16.7 Miles (Nearest Hospital)
    WSRC to Sparta Community Hospital - 8.4 Miles (Nearest Hospital)
    ARCH Air Medical Base also located in Sparta with a Helicopter available.

    wsrc brad, your claim is outright dfisgrace. my shooting buddy went to sparta hospital not feeling well. they told him he had indigestion. a couple hours later he had a massive heart attack and died. so much for your hospital and doctors. rvh
