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!

Keith et al,

Contributing the photos and videos we took of our annual get together. It was a good time and we had fun despite Mother Nature raining down on us. A big Thank You to you and Rena for hosting our event. The new range was well designed and was fun to “sort out” the charging buffalo.

Paul the pics and videos are super. Boy we had a lot of fun.
Thank you to all in attendence.

Mike

Great to see some young people involved.

Great videos, thanks for posting. So what's with the 'Prize Pants'?

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.

In Dallas Butch tried to convince us that the stain on the rear of the pants was blood. We ain't buyin that, it was brown!!!

Keith

Hahaha. Looks like good fun. Glad my rodeo is being put to good use.

It WAS blood, that's my story and I sticking to it.

Boy, I hated missing this event. Hopefully next year.
