Would one of you fine gentlemen coming from the south, and going to the DV shoot, be able to pick up a couple of pounds of powder from Caber Tosser for me? I believe he is in Cow Town.

I can surely do that for you PTH. I can ring him and make arrangements if you like.

Great to see how everything is coming together. REALLY wish I could make it.
Make sure some of you fellas take a bunch of pictures. Have fun, and good luck everybody!

Okay. Thanks

I have to stop in Conklin on Business and have to be at the head office for
15:00hrs for a bit then it's off to Drayton:sHa_shakeshout:
Cat

OHYEAH !!:sHa_shakeshout:
I have my traveller on the truck also!
Cat

Loaded my traveler last night , an Xikar:)
She'll hold 18 Churchill's but I usually don't smoke 'em that big!!:sHa_sarcasticlol:
Cat

Good luck all. Sounds like a good time is to be had by all.

Shoot
 

Good Luck All! Cat I'll take some nice cigars as part trade!!!!

Enjoy the day fellas...went to have some ice cream tonight and our fridge isn't working. The frozen stuff isn't frozen anymore and the cold stuff isn't cold! We have moved as many groceries as possible out to the trailer fridge.

Sadly instead of having fun at the rodeo I will be having fun buying a new fridge!

LC

Good luck fellas. Enjoy the weekend!
Pics or it didn't happen!!!!!

Who would have guessed
 

I'm home this weekend. Lol
Could have come to the rodeo.
Hope you all have a great day

Wow just got back from the event. Great people out there and a big shout out to 284 and other organizers. I'm pretty humbled , didn't do too we'll myself during the shoot but meh , what it's all about. Improvement.

Gonna do a lot more sitting , kneeling and prone unsupported shooting down the road here.

Thanks again 284 and nice meeting you finally duceman , cat , gitrdun and others.

Many Thanks to Dick284 and everyone ( people & sponsors) that put in to make the event happen...
Nefiew and I had a great time as usual...great to meet sum new faces from here.and also great to see the ones i already new...
Sadly i had to leave when the light dimmed down and the light from inside burning ring took over...
There is no way im gonna let a guy in a skirt beat me next year....

So many highlights for me. Face to face and discussions with nice folks the likes of the Cat, Wolf 308, fish_eo, roebag and his boy, opalsasquatch, rugersingle, and many others. Sorry if I missed other AO members. Many heartfelt thanks to Dick284 and family, duceman, rugersingle, Paul for the BBQ machine, and so many others who make this event a success especially the wives and ladies that support this with hard work and understanding our addictions. Many thanks to my dear friends Hotpaw and Backwoods Runner who are there in the background to let me shoot countless rounds thru their pistols and lend an ear when needed. I have a saying. If you come to this shoot.....you'll be back.

AND, let's not forget to congratulate tchardy. Congrats buddy and you have two of the cutest and most well behaved little girls ever. :)

And our proud winner promptly bukcled up with it on his....kilt??!!:sign0068:

Quite the consistency BTW, he did what is supposed to be done- kept up his rhythm, didn't win a single shoot , but had the grand agg for the match!
Well done!!:shake2::47b20s0:
Cat

These things gave most everyone a headache !

However out of the whole shootin' match this target was the hardest - I think only about 8 or nine people hit it!!:thinking-006:
Distance was unknown ( over 200 yards), and at a mere 6" high and 18" wide it was tough!!
It called for a kneeling shot leening on a table , but that Danged Duceman however showed us how it's down and rang it two out of three times standing on his hind legs!!:sign0068:

Thanks git. We work hard on those girls and they have this guy wrapped around their fingers.
I learned what needs work for next year. For the most part it was my concentration near the end of the day that was going away quick. I did not expect to leave with anything so that was all a pleasant surprise. The buckle looks good on my wall and I am already thinking about next year.

I'm happy to have met everyone, I had a riot, and not just on the range.

what a good time :sHa_shakeshout:

i guess it'll be twice the size next year

made it back home last nite. not a bad drive for a sunday nite.
the missus and i had a great time as usual, as travis said both on and off the range.
huge thanks to dick and his close helpers, as well as paul with secure energy for the big bbq and the great supper fixins.
big kudos to mrs. hardy as well on the cheesecake tart deserts, the bar still set high!!!
i guess i should have bought kilt boy's 788 when he asked me if he should keep it or not. at the very least i'll be a little less careful on his loads next year.
still pretty happy to come second, considering i shoot the whole match offhand. the buckles are a great trophy!!!
looking forward to next year, time to finish getting ready for the clive mohn and leffingwell shoots coming up, lee

dick284- "the front sight is loose on my rifle." "i don't consider that a catastrophic failure on my rifle"

still shot the match and did better than most!:sHa_sarcasticlol:

Awesome Time
 

What a great time. Started right from the moment we got there being greeted by friendly people who know how to make you feel welcome

Highlites for me were many. The guys singing at the fire, the dedication of the folkes who do all the work. It really is a fantastic group of people that put this on and those who came are quality folks also

Special thanks to Paul from Secure Energy and who truly roughed it on the camping side and yet did so much of the work....good job

I also want to thank Skytop B for his donation of the 17 WSM that .277 winchester came home with and all the other folks that sponsored this.

Hopefully we can come back next year.

that rest is awesome by the way!

did you make that?

everything but the bags. did you notice it's reversible for feet leveling adjustment; you can have single leg. rear or 2 legs rear; i like 2 at the back so it's easier to level the rest if your not on a bench; on the ground for f-class shooting.
we're cutting some rubber mat spacers to go under the rest and under the rear bags today; didn't get time before the match, lee
