[Bryn-gwlad] BG Archery Practice CANCELLED until further notice

[brandtfamily@sprintmail.com]

I must agree with Tivar. I am certain that it's more because of the new 
Ikea store's presence right next door than anything malicious. As I 
said, the officer really was quite polite about the whole matter.

I have been approached by one person who is setting up a range about 45 
min to 1 hour's drive from Austin. I'll check it out, but in my opinion 
that is too far, and if we use that site, it would likely only be once 
or twice a month.

I continue to look for alternatives.

Regards,
Jason
