Five months is a long time to go without pyro friends and shooting fireworks. We again have a permit to shoot both class C and class B material. We will have a B line with 3'', 4'', 5'' and 6'' guns. Our size limit for shells will be 6''. These will be above gound HDPE mortars in racks. There will also be a Rocket area, Class C area, andbonfire. (Bring a chair!)
For this shoot: Only black powder rockets, ½” to 1” ID.
Remember that YOU will be responsible for maintaining security of your devices during dinner.
Smoking is no longer allowed inside. State law!
If for some reason our weird weather patterns make the ice on the lake unstable, we will still have a Class C area and bonfire. If it matters, call me by Friday, March 2 and check conditions. Ice fishing is also available; you will need a fishing license.
Dinner Information: The Eskimo Dinner & Shoot will be held on Saturday, March 10, 2012. The social time will start at 4:00 PM, dinner at 5:30 PM. Menu is chicken, chicken gravy, ribs, real mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetable, coleslaw, home baked dinner rolls, dessert, coffee and milk. Dinner will be served family style.
The cost is $14.00 per person and includes tax and tip.
Shoot Information: The fishing shacks come off the ice on March 4, so we've got the lake all to ourselves. The shooting areas and bonfire will open at 7:00 PM. We can shoot until 10:30 PM, and the bonfire has seen the sun come up in past years!
Lakeside Ballroom is directly on Pike Lake, so we have a nice "warming house", indoor bathrooms, a place to change clothes and a bar. Bring warm clothes and a chair to sit by the fire and watch. “Shoe grippers” REALLY help on the ice.
Plan to bring proven items. There are a lot of houses around the lake, so leave the experimental devices for May.
WE NEED FIREWOOD, so if you live in a 25 mile radius of Hatley you can bring logs, if further, scrap lumber is fine.
Please make reservations by Friday, March 2, 2011
