Just a heads up to anyone interested in coming to the Central PA GTG at Blair County Game Fish and Forestry (shooting range) it will be June 19th, 20th and 21st 2026. It happens to be father's day weekend. That seems to be the only open weekend.

I know that's kind of a bummer and some people probably won't be able to make it and that is understood.

I will be updating with the usual info after the new year as usual.

One update we did get a log truck load if logs delivered so I won't have to be so stressed dropping tree's and making sure there's enough wood.
The OTHER guy who was supposed to delivered the wood that we had scheduled ended up being a no show. Luckily we found another more reliable source.
I think for starters we should finish up the pile that's up on the mountain before we move to the log truck load. The stuff that we did manage to get split on the hill has been put away.

We've had a few calls so far for the firewood ministry and have delivered a few dump truck loads to some needy people. I am surprised that

Anyone attending the GTG please make sure that you check in at the clubhouse when you arrive!

People can start arriving on Friday morning (because they shoot trap on Thursdays) who will be camping on site. The back road will be open to the trap range as it it easier to get campers up that road. Signs will be out directing people at usual.

There is good cold spring water that is always running for water if you'd like to bring your own containers.

Food/ meals that will be provided:

Everyone is welcomed to bring their favorite covered dish and or desserts to fill in any gaps as to what is already provided.

Sunday is the farwell day. Any leftover food will be in the cooler's in the outdoor kitchen and you can feel free to get some food on the go if you wish.

Alcohol is allowed after hours and must stay on the trap range as long as it doesn't get out of control and only when the guns are away and the work is done for the day.

4 wheelers, side by sides are welcome as long as you check with the club to see what trails that you are allowed to ride on as long as you don't tear the place up.

Extra splitters and tractors/ machines to help with the work are welcome

Anyone who is a part of the GTG and helping to cut and split wood is allowed to shoot on the range for free.

We will be planning on having a raffle again.

Bring what you want for donations. If no one is interested we can just pass around a hat.

Let's all have a good time get some work done and enjoy everyone's company as we always do!
