My Africa photos are in the finals! Please help me win!

I will take whatever they give me. I would be really happy with the individual scopes over the packages.

Anything from number 20 up is going to be great. I will just trade it to someone or sell it on ebay if I get something I don't have a use for.

I would love to have number 10, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 8, 9, 11.

I am still not sure what I would do with the Trijicon. I don't really understand what it is. I am very familiar with Aimpoint, and I am guessing this is something really similar?

I guess I could put it on my 45 Blaser barrel and use it for hogs.

I have a use for the Aimpoint, but not the Trijicon or the Eotech. I am sure there would be no problem selling them on ebay and buying what I want.

I got off 7 before it blocked me.

I have to go in to work and pick up some papers. We have 4 computers, I plan on racking up some points while in.

Retired army aviator gave you a vote. Let us hear about some of your hunts and the outfitters you went with. I am looking for a new place to go in 07 or 08.

I am doing another African Safari in 2007.

If you haven't been you need to go. Namibia wonderful, this time it's going to be South Africa. I think the 2009 safari will be Tanzania or Zambia.

As for the tattooed tubby, this has nothing to do with quality of photos and everything to do with popularity.

My first thought was that he's doing the same thing on ar15.com . A huge board with a bunch of fanatics.....

Or, a tattoo board somewhere. They tend to stick together as well.

Like you say, it has nothing to do with quality.

I have no idea what the "Super Sniper logo" looks like, and their marketing department apparently didn't pick anything too great, as I don't know which one on his arm is "it".

Thanks again guys, it looks like I am dropping quick.

Yep its a popularity contest. Next time I am going to take a photo of some semi-naked Italian model with a tricked out airsoft gun and send it in.

Thanks again guys,

Keep voting!

My father told me that he wants to do a Moose hunt in 2007, so it looks like no Namibia for 2007.

Africa in 2008. Hopefully there will be some left.

Seth,

I voted back in the beginning, and tried to vote for you again (a little cheating is allowed isn't it?)

Alas, I wasn't allowed to vote again...

Good luck!

Erik,

I had to reset my cookies. That did it and I was allowed to vote a few times by doing that.

My sister has figured out a way to vote every couple of hours, by doing this. I think I have voted 4 times. She is probably a good percent of the big number.

Thanks for the votes!
