I took my grandson to Academy for shoes and a jacket and spied the last hundred round box of AA they had. Got all I need now. :)
Looks like the closest place for a hotel is Shawnee off I-40. Recommendations? Cheap is good, but I'm too old and cranky to stay in nasty places. If anyone here wants to split a room, I'm interested.
I've stayed at the Comfort Inn there twice and at the LaQuinta. I preferred the Comfort Inn. A Fairfield Inn was under construction next to the Comfort Inn the last time I was there. It may be open now.
Make sure that you partake of Braum's while you are there.
Bill told me that the Grand Casino (3 miles from the range) is on great terms with him, and if you mention you're going to a class at Mead Hall they'll cut you a deal. The only downside is that it's on tribal land, so make sure your guns are unloaded and boxed up before you enter the casino/hotel. He also recommended the Hampton Inn at Shawnee (about 15 mins' drive from the range), also with a special rate for students.
