Has anyone else been unable to access the Shooters' Talk website? I haven't been able to "dial it up" for the past two days. ...Maven

It's down. Question is, temporarily ???

Oldfeller

"Oldfeller"? I like that handle,sounds like my kinda guy!lol derf

I tried but wasn't able to either.

I tried last night at 10:00 pm central time it was down then.

This is one full day for me, I have e-mails from others saying it has been 2 days for them.

Message you get is not encouraging. "Not found" has a pretty nasty sound to it.

Does anyone have any sort of phone contact with the guys who held the list "up" while it "gracefully transitioned"? We may have finally "transitioned".

I will e-mail Buckshot tonight at his home to find out where "Tuesday at the range" will be posted if Shooters is not back up. Buckshot and Felix pretty much are defining as far as that goes. Both posted here last time Shooters died on us.

As a matter of fact, most all of us posted here last time we went through this end of the list garbage, so everyone has their "same name" here by and large.

Aggravating, to say the least.

Hello all you fine Accurate folks, your Shooters cousins from all over the Midwest and Southwest and Carolinas have dropped in for a friendly visit again while their old digs are being rebuilt .....

Howdy, group.

Being in severe withdrawal pains from missing my "fix" over at Shooters' Cast Bullet Board, I am very pleased to see some familiar handles over here at Accurate Reloading.

I hope we can re-assemble the group here, in the event that our former 'home' has bitten the dust. They carried us a lot longer than I'd thought possible, and I for one really appreciate that.

There's still plenty to discuss about cast bullets!

This Board wouldn't allow my previous handle, so....

Regards from Bren Mk1 (aka BruceB)

I'm relieved it wasn't my computer or server! Good to hear from so many of my Shooters' Talk: CB Board friends. It must be true about misery loving company. ...Maven

I'm thinking we've seen the last of Shooters. I hope I'm wrong. This is a pretty good forum, but it doesn't feel like home.

Hey Oldfeller,

Don't forget some of us casters from the Keystone State also...Guess my handle is good here. Just was getting ready to post some more of my results with WC-844 and the 7-30 Waters fired from my Contender. Maybe Shooter's will return and the thread can be continued...BCB

Greetings all,

You are as welcome to post here as ever, and don't have to worry about any sensorship, as there is none. I post as 458 lott over on shooters.

Bruce, I kinda like your new handle, too bad our fed requirements will keep me from owning a full auto, but a bren would certainly be a neat one to have.

Hi guys,
I miss shooters too. I lurked a long time and never registerd and then it was too late. I don't post much because my keyboard skills are not the greatest. Every once in a while I have the urge to chime in. I've been casting and shooting same going on 40yrs. Just when I thought I was getting it figured out I got me a computer and found these talk forums. I learned more about casting and shooting em in 2yrs then I ever learned on my own. Very very knowledgeable people on shooters and other groups

I'm here.

Mike

Home is where your family's at. I don't really care where we land, but it would be nice to keep the source of collective wisdom together. BD

Hi, guys. I made it too. Might be hard getting used to calling BruceB something else.
Best, Ernie

Howdy, group.

I imagine I can still sign off with my original handle. I'll try it on this post and see. I don't mind the new one, though....the namesake gun is one of my all-time favorites.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Us homeless waifs really appreciate staggering into a new fireside where 'cast boolits' is spoken and understood. It's my fond hope that the whole gang from the previous Board at Shooters' hears of this place and joins us here. Spread the word by e-mail to all whose addresses you might have, OK?

Shooters' carried us a lot longer than I'd expected, considering their going out of business. I don't know the ins-and-outs of Internet site financing, but SOMEONE really deserves out thanks.

I'm looking forward to a LONG period of swapping techniques, stories and fibs with everyone....

Regards from BruceB (aka Bren Mk1)

..........Buckshot here. Now it's gonna be Whitworth92374 I guess. I wasn't able to access Shooters.com for 2 days. This is a nice site, but I'm sure going to miss the choice of chronological or topical listing :-(.

I'll be those guys on the BPCR board are scrambling.

Bucksh........ er Whitworth

This forum looks like the leader in gathering up shooters "refugees".. hello to all,,,,,Idabull

It will take alot more than a site going belly up to keep me from lurkin' on the gang from shooters!

I'm still just Sweet 'Old Bob S. just about everyplace I go ...

Resp'y,
Bob S.

Glad to see we found this welcomed port in the cyber space storm.

The one thing I like about this site over shooters is the ability to put pics in with your post.

Here is a pic of my 70 cal Howda that I've mentioned before.

Its not the same.....I wanna go home!!!!!!

Two days lost in the wilderness. I hope everyone from Shooters is fine and that the commaradie and family atomsphere continues.IHMSASKIWI checking in.

Hi Folks,
I just registered after Oldfeller told me over at Greybeards that most were over here.
I haven't been able to get onto Shooters since Tuesday morning so...............-JDL

Well it looks like a gathering of the clan. Please note I did not spell that with a K! Very inportant difference don't you know. Look like somebody pulled the plug on Shooters. I guess you would get tired of paying for server space with no offsetting income. I hate to see shooters go, but this looks like a nice place with like minded shooters.

What will become of our fun postal match. I finally got my round tuit and put my ten into the little black square, which is very hard to see at 100 yards. I am not proud of the results, but this is all in fun...Right!!! I need Felix to show up and score the target. Beside that I want my damn lube when the big melt takes place.

Calamity Jake's here, although I don't post much I'm goina miss shooters and yes I to want to thank the person(s) that kept the site alive for as long as they did.

Later

Buckshot, BruceB and others, this is a great board and Saeed is the perfect host. Seemed to me that a number of the forums (fora?) at Shooters were growing rather moribund anyway.
Bill, aka Abert Rim

I hope your old gang gets back together here. I have lurked for a long time. When I would registerd I would be out to long or what ever and could not get back in . Good luck to you all . Hope to get to sit around the camp fire with you all.
gregg

I lost Shooters late Monday night. I surely hope it is a temporary thing, but, I don't hold out much hope. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
At least we can all get together here.
Paul B.

Gentlemen,

A very warm welcome to each and everyone of you.

As my friend Paul mentioned above, this is a free site.

No adverts and no censorship.

I hope you enjoy visiting us here.

Saeed, sir;

I've already expressed my gratitude for having your website as a refuge. I'll warn you now, though, that this group of broken-down left-over casters from Shooters is more like a batch of poor relatives. We've dropped in "for a visit" as you say....but you might have a HELL of a time getting us back out the door!

Hmmm....that looks like a comfy chair right over there.... I think I'll maybe just set down fer a spell.....

And, MANY thanks to you for the courteous and friendly reception here.

Regards from BruceB (aka Bren Mk1)

.....well,it's been three days now, so guess I better get with it and get on Dubai time, cause this does appear to be the place where the action is. Appreciate the cordial welcome!

Hi Ho Galena awaaaay!!!

Regards, kid(aka jethrow strait)

Just checking in to say hi. [The caster formerly known as MT Gianni]

Yes, I'll second the thanks to Saeed for a wonderful sight here. After the first shooters scare, I started hanging out here and spending equal time on both. For those of you who haven't seen Saeed's home videos of unwary 577 T-Rex shooters, they are hillarious. Given the opportunity, I would have a go at the T-Rex just to say I did.
Thanks again Saeed.

Howdy: Im another lost soul from Shooters.
Glad to see some familiar names here

Another straggler checkin' in from Shooters. Mostly a lurker, but need a fix from time to time. Regards, Woody

Just got an email from Felix about where to send the target for the postal match and he refered me here for result, so I guess this is the place. I will get used to it...rather adaptable fellow I am!

Gentlemen,

We'd like you to feel at home here, and if you have any suggestions for any new forums to be added, we'll be glad to help.

I am off tomorrow to Tanzania, and hopefully should be back by the 12th of September.

Enjoy yourselves, and have a great time.

Darned shame about shooter.com. Just checking to see if this works.
