Hello, we are less than a month away from the Torn Warriors Fundraiser Extravaganza weekend!
Below are the details to help you plan.
Location:
Elko County, Nevada. The site is in the mountains at 7,000ft elevation, so it should not be too hot (it is NOT Vegas).
Getting here
Air travel:
Salt Lake City airport is 2.5 hours away. It has the most options for flights and rental vehicles.
The closest airport is Elko, NV. Elko is only 45 minutes from Wells but has limited flights. Only Delta airlines, from Salt Lake City, flies to Elko two times a day.
Location and lodging:
The event is about 15 miles outside of Wells, NV. There is a brand-new Hampton Inn hotel in Wells, which I recommend. Link below:
We will provide a shuttle to/from your Wells hotel to the facility throughout the weekend. You can drive your rental car to the facility, but the location is not easy to find and the road to get there is a rough.
The shuttle will pick people up from the Hampton Inn in Wells, NV on Friday 23 July at 5pm.
Recommended gear list:
Wallet
Checkbook
Outdoor clothing: Long sleeve shirt and pants for range and off-road driving. Bring at least one long sleeve shirt that you don’t mind getting dusty for the off-roading.
Over-the-ankle / hiking boots
Sunglasses
Water bottle
Eye and ear protection: we will supply if you do not have.
Bring your personal rifle and/or pistol: we will have steel on the pistol and long-distance ranges. You will also be able to zero your rifle and stretch it’s legs.
–We will have 9mm pistols and .223 rifles and ammo available. If you are bringing your own guns, please stop in Salt Lake City for your ammo. No gun store in Wells.
If you have never traveled with a pistol/rifle, don’t be scared, it’s easy:
