Went to high school there. If I were still in VA I would be all over it. Passing the info on to a few natives.

Well this is only 3hrs away and I haven't shot at pigg river yet... hear it's a really nice range. Might have to occupy one of the spots

Anyone have lodging suggestions?

Josh Bandy at Pigg River advised the following:
There’s two within. 15 minute drive of the facility- Baymont by Wyndham (a little older and I’d say 2nd choice) and a Holiday Inn Express (first choice) - both in rocky mount, VA. I would also look at some of the Bed and Breakfasts like the Kyle House or check out the local Airbnb searches.

I looked at the Overland Drive location for this place, which got good views on Expedia.

There are probably a few hotels out toward Moneta/ Smith Mountain Lake area. Easy drive to Rocky Mount without the Roanoke traffic.
 
I’ll bring the Lemon Party bus. We can all stay together.

Man y'all have been hammering this course. We officially have one slot left! Lets see if we can fill it!
Looks like GB started it ... so blame it on him lol

I'm putting links to every hotel/ motel I can find within a 20 mile radius.
No vacancy on 15th if I'm seeing correctly

Ok I'm noticing a trend here for that weekend....

And prices seem to be pumped that weekend for some reason...

I assume there are some parallel events at play during the same time

Was hoping to start a group chat so so we could try to get rooms with close enough proximity for everyone to get dinner / drinks / talk junk / etc .... but just finding lodging might be a task lol

If we move up towards Roanoke we would have at least a 35 min drive to the range

But...
We might could coordinate a stay with food & drinks within walking distance

So just found out there is a race in Martinsville. That’s why it seems that all those hotels are booked. I noticed a couple Airbnb’s open within 20mins or so. And yeah Roanoke is always an option.

If I remember correctly there is a campground in town also

I’m just gonna get a hooker named Buffy, and stay in the penthouse in some hotel in Roanoke!

🤣
As long as Buffy isn't Horta dressed in drag... 🫣

How you look up charging stations?
Any close to Hilton Garden Inn Roanoke?
That's the furthest south place I see with food & drinks in the same parking lot

On a YouTube video @CR2 SS mentioned downloading an app called Windy and using it to look at wind data and trends at a location in advance of your arrival.

For Pigg River you can download the app and add a favorite at a location called Sydnorsville, which is the closest weather station.

See attached pic.

Saw the email sent out asking about rifle and such being used

Anybody know the general course of fire & range for this event?

Wondering what is best to bring...
 
this class was great - thank you to the cr2 team for the knowledge and patience! i definitely look forward to going back to pigg river - range is awesome. I'm a complete noob at long range shooting, and cr2 certainly made me a bit better and I now know more about my reticle, gun, kestrel, and that god-damn screw on the bottom of my magnetospeed chrono!

Haha man awesome man, I’m glad you were able to come out.
 
Had a pretty good time at the last Pigg River class! It was nice that Chris and his team brought kestrels for everyone in the class to use…

Not to mention, they were super approachable for questions, and willing to help it every step.
