Is anyone planning a get-together at SCI/Reno? If so, and the time and date hasn't been set, I'd like to suggest Friday mid-afternoon somewhere in the convention center. I'll be in Dallas this year, too, but can't attend the AR evening affair. Bill Quimby | ||

Bill, I'd like to be there. Mid afternoon is good as we are going to the Beach Boys that evening and taking my PH out to dinner Saturday night. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

I too would like to meet some of you in person at Reno. I was in a seminar last year when I remembered and missed the get-together. Friday afternoon would work great for me. | |||

I'm going to the Friday evening banquet also. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where and when we should meet? Does someone else traditionally set these things up and already has done son? BQ | |||

It looks like a lot of us will be at the Beach Boys concert Friday night. The last couple of years we have met at the Giraffe Lounge on Friday afternoon. That works for me. Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||

Friday afternoon at the Giraffe Lounge works for me. Anybody want to pick a time? | |||

This should be followed by a dinner. | |||

Does anybody know what it takes to get a reserved table for the entertainment/dinner/auction? If there are enough of use going to see the Beach Boys, an AR table would be a hoot. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

We will be at the giraffe bar Friday afternoon and also the Beach Boys show Friday night. Sounds like a good time. Mike | |||

Friday afternoon 3 pm at the Giraffe So let it be written, So let it be done. Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue. ![]() What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

For the last few years we have always done the Giraffe Bar at 3 on Friday so I just figured it was a given. Look forward to seeing everyone that does not make it to DSC! You can borrow money but you can not borrow time. Go hunting with your family. | |||
