ok guys the shoot is a little over a month away and we have seen very little support from the board so far. lets see a show of hands see we know for sure who to expect? Phil is traveling all the way from Hawaii to get a taste of southern fried bull fritter and maybe burn a little powder, it should be a great time. Jeff has put a lot of work into this as well as a good deal of expense. I would like to see as many ugly faces as possible from the board so I can put a face on the name. it will be fun just to meet everyone and shoot some bull regardless if we can hit a gong or not. I know Jeff has posted a roster of names that have paid but we need more shooters than that.. step up to the plate guys!!! that's a CHALLENGE..
Hope everyone has a great 4th, remember, independence was bought by the blood of our forefathers and is still being paid for by todays patriots, lets remember them all...

I would be all for going but I will have spent the last month before the match gone from home and am shooting two other rifle matches in August (one on my wedding anniversary). My contribution to the match will be a weekend practice session with Alabama and sending some H1000 to the match if it is still needed.

I wish I could make it, I'll be in Indiana that weekend, but I may try to detour Sunday and swing by the shoot if I can. I'll tell the better half we are taking the scenic route home.

Would love to go, but wife's health problems prevent me from going much anywhere.

So I won't be needing it. Thanks for the reply though. Kyle

It's going to be fun and I no doubt could learn a lot but I'm trying to save and get my family to Disney world in march so financially it's a no go. Maybe if there is a 2nd year i can workout a car pool with some other minnesotans. (Earnhart, superkirby...etc...)

I would like to have attended but my daughter will be home from San Diego that weekend so it did not work out. Hopefully next year.

My crazy horse doesn't see the point, but I'm like Hillbill and think it will be fun to shoot the bull with fellow hunters/shooters while seeing an assortment of guns. I've never been to the South so I'll have to test out some Southern food. Life is too short not to take a chance on a few road trips.

If you run out before then let me know, there is plenty to be had here.

It should do well. I used it with a 162gn A-MAX and 168gn SMK in that cartridge for a while. Right now I am shooting RL22 and H4831SC with those bullets. I had the H1000 left from a short throat .257Wby Mag and am going to try it in a 6mm Practical Rifle I will get barreled after the match season this year.

Yes it is getting close. There is still several guys that said they were coming but I have not received their entry fee as of yet. If you are coming to the shoot please get your entry fee paid so that I can plan according. The range is finished, the benches are built, the gongs are here and the tannerite is itching to explode. All I need is an accurate count of attendees so I can order enough pig for everyone. The entry fee is $125.00 for shooters and $50.00 for those that just want to come hang out, watch the action, learn a great deal and eat some good ole home smoked pulled pork BBQ. So come on guys and get that check in the mail. It will be hard for me to figure you in a spot at the last minute.. If you have any questions just give me a call. Thanks. Jeff Hankins.

I'm planning on attending. I'll be driving down from west-central Indiana on Friday afternoon. I have yet to make any arrangements, so I may just be sleeping in the truck or in a tent.

I had 60 shots planned for each shooter but I think that will be cut in half. Figuring on the number of shooters and that amount of time it takes for each reload. There will be some group shooting at 100 and 200 yards. Gong targets will be placed at 150, 200, 250, 300 and 325 yards. And I have some tannerite to blow up. We will work out the details Friday evening. This is the first shoot and things will change through out the day.

I just got my work schedule for the week of the shoot. I'll be there, driving up on Friday night from East Tennessee. Jeff is working on some finishing touches with my muzzleloader, hope to get it in Tennessee before the shoot to practice up a bit. However it goes I'll be pulling the trigger on it at the shoot. See you all there at the shoot. Kyle
