The Central PA gang minus a few had our semi regular gathering and shoot on Saturday. We beat the storm, well not really!!

I am sure the whole valley wondered what was up as the big bores roared. I know there are pics and vidoes out there so lets see them!

Those are a reasonable facsimile of Butch Begno's safari pants from last year when a charging buf hooked him and took him for a ride.
You can see who won takes a beating but keeps on ticking.
