After attending the grand when it was in Vandalia every year from 1997 until the last one in 2005 I attended the grand during preliminary days in Sparta for the first time last week from Wednesday thru Saturday and had a great time!! The new shooting complex is fantastic and a great place to shoot. I saw some old friends and made some new ones and the people in Sparta and the surrounding areas were very friendly and cordial. Another thing about the small towns in the area was the great restaurants and good food. I shot the HCP on Friday and Saturday and had scores in the low 90’s and had a ball. I like the new shooting complex in Sparta and will be returning next year to do it all over again.
