The burgers are being graciously donated, by Wheelwright Cylinder Exchange, with shops in Edmonton, Calgary, and Blackie.

Thanks a million!

If anyone has something collecting dust in the safe, bring it on down. Random horse trading has been know to break out at these events too.

Sorry you can't make it. But nice offer. I will add to it if you don't mind...
If these people need a ride anywhere from around Calgary or anywhere in between I have plenty of room. Driving a crew cab with a long box, so lots of room for gear, heck I'll share my beer. The more the merrier!!

I'm leaving Friday afternoon around 2:00

Dang, with the amount of corporate sponsors, prize donations, the number of shooters, etc. This is going to be memorable and may well stand out as well respected event in years to come. 2 more sleeps. Dick284, your hard work and fortitude is paying off. Many, many Kudos to you friend.

The deer head is the front of the Jimmy Mc Medallion!
It seems fitting for the shoot falls on the second anniversary of his untimely passing.

A fair number of shooters are heading up today.

Drive safely, and hope to see you there this afternoon.

To all the others, keep the shiny side up, and be the person you wish the guy in front or behind you would be!

Here's to good weather, good times, and solid hits, and getting our bums off the couch.

All I can report is it was one heck of a time.... Lots of fun and laughs. Food was out of this world.

The young fellows were just ripping up the targets today, gave us older guys a run.

The sponsors can through BIGTIME....there was gift certs, gunsmithing, new barrels, bullets, hats , shirts, reloading software, knives all up for grabs....

Great time with great folks.....I didn't win anything due to my shooting but I had my best overall placing yet! Very happy and the fire is rolling and the BS is flowing.

Dick,

For those of us who weren't able to make it out for what was undoubtedly a GREAT time. Let us in on the AO usernames of the guys who have won the event.

Then we can know who to hold in high regard or cut some slack to when they speak about marksmanship.

Thanks, man!
