Doing fine here. Windstorm's blown past and though we had freezing rain, i think it's gone to just rain now. No snow. How about over there?

[King Prout]

[tuliptree76]

I told you it was girly!

Hello the thread! How goes it this night?

[sionnsar]

Hello, JudyinCanada!

Topic? Well, we're all over the place. Rifles... NicknamedBob, do we have a shooting range in the castle somewhere?

[King Prout]

yeah, but... damn!

I think now is the time to install my new copy of Unreal Tournament 2004 Editor's Choice!

I need *something* guyly to wash that noise outta muh brayne!

[King Prout]

the vixen poisoned my eardrums!

[King Prout]

Rifle range?

omg, I cannot believe we overlooked such a critical necessity!

Architect! Thou hast labour to perform!

[bad company]

To FRee Republic!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

If we put in a rifle range, can I shoot my .54 caliber flintlock rifle?

[NicknamedBob]

The original castle had archery contests in the courtyard.

We have not established the exact dimensions of the metal-fence "basket" which supports the castle environs, but I think we can accommodate a shooting range outside of the castle walls but inside the metal fence.

I would suggest that all firing be directed into the ground, and away from the metal fencing. There is a possibility of ricochets, and I don't want our fence shot full of holes.

The slight depression on the exterior grounds in the Northwest quadrant... No wait, directions change here.

Consider the main castle gate to be six o'Clock, then maneuver to two o'Clock on the outer perimeter. It's just a little boggy, but will serve as a shooting area. You should be able to mark off 500 yards across that depression.

It's a lot of area to sacrifice for a single sport, but accuracy of firepower is a priority of the management, and those who indulge in this activity should not be surprised to be pressed into service should the need for defense arise.

Set up your officers, and don't forget to police the grounds. Remember the five precious metals -- platinum, gold, silver, lead, and brass.

Archery activities will continue inside the courtyard. See the appropriate notification boards for times and events.

I'm sorry. :-(

[Not A Snowbird]

A little bit of sleet, not much else. Everybody's been sick so we're staying in the house.

[NicknamedBob]

You look veddy nice, Miss Prime VIXEN!

Um, what's that in your hand?

You don't still have that transportation device, do you?

[tuliptree76]

Um...well, I did borrow it the other day...

[tuliptree76]

It's so quiet this evening.

[NicknamedBob]

I think I'll retire to one of the reading areas, with something liquid, and a cozy fire, and just enjoy a book.

It's nice to have a castle like this, that offers all the amenities, and then some.

[tuliptree76]

So you're heading out for the evening?

[NicknamedBob]

No, I'll be around.

I just don't anticipate leading any marching bands, or anything. Quiet seems to suit me, tonight.

[tuliptree76]

I'm just working on my paper.
