Perhaps Rusty and I weren't perfectly Cleear.

The 2009 DRSS + ARBBA Hoot and Shoot will be just South of Houston (directions to follow) on May 2nd. There will be 2 courses of fire, Prizes for first and second place (100 new federal 215s for first place, 100 slightly used primers for seconds!) a modest bbq lunch, and generally showing off your shooting pieces!

Its a $15 fee for all of this, including getting to have your Picture made with Rusty!

Ya'll come on out and see us!

Just checked and have conformation that a large herd of DWGs were sighted near the Juliff range!

Thanks of an unnamed benefactor 1st place in each category Double rifle, Single shot, and Bolt Trash rifles will receive 100 Federal 215 primers.

Flight to Texas $350
Entry fee $15
Time spent with friends shooting big bores...
Priceless!

That BBQ brisket was worth the $15 alone... AND a photo with Rusty! What a deal!

i'll bring the doughnuts for early arrivals

Love to come. Have rifles in the smith's. I think we can come up with something to shoot though.

Lavaca,
There will be plenty of rifles for you to shoot.

Cant wait to get to the Sovereign State of Texas again =)

Hope to see you guys there. I've got some Jalepeno cheese summer sausage made out of an audad and a hog I shot last year. Good enough to make you want to slap yo' daddy down. Bring a couple of guns also.

I've put it on my calender! Would a Browning 1885 chambered for 454 Casull be considered a Big Bore? Otherwise I'll just have to bring my 375 H&H. Got a barbque pit?...I might have a couple pigs by then too.......to be continued

I'm assuming it's at Bayou Rifles again? Will big bore handguns be welcome as well? (I'm only planning on bringing my 375 R for a rifle, but I might bring the 454 and 500 to play w...)

Planning on being there -- assuming I can find a rifle to shoot.

Glad to hear all ya'll are coming.
The club's rules are no pistols at their rifle ranges, sorry guys .. we are guests here, and they are allowing us to have a great time at their place

I plan to attend as well.

Don't you dare give me that "--assuming I can find a rifle to shoot?" line!

BTT

Would it step on any toes if I brought my pistols to use at the pistol range? I should be able to, as I'm a member of BRI, but if ya'll think it would be improper, I can leave them at home.


*Provided I remember to pick up ammo for it

Heck, if you are a member, its ya'll range, and we appreciate it being loaned out!

I would like to come with my 45-110 Sharps. I know it's not exactly politically correct, but in two trips to the Eastern Cape, it has taken 13 animals, and I have yet to recover a bullet.

Will there be an opportunity to check penetration?

it's a paper and waterjug shoot ... your's will be fine!

Kim R and I am driveing in from New Orleans.

Jeffe please tell me you are going to have your new sxs there.

JD

JD,
I'll have the spartan there, certainly, for shooting, and might have the 45/120 for looking!

I have been following your progress on the 45/120, and would love to see her.

It would be nice, if someone would/could bring some blank name tags, for those who do not have an AR shirt or cap with thier sxreen name on it.

stop it!!! you guys are killing me with all this future fun discussion. 2008 was the best total shooting experience year of my life, with the Hoot-n-Shoot and making my first trip to Africa. This year, I get to host several people from the Voice of the Martyrs group at our house and run one seminar. It makes this shoot sound even better, we do not realize the freedoms we enjoy in America. You guys enjoy, I'm spending the money I'd save to buy a CZ in 404J, and get to work on the 585HE on the MRC PH action. Next year I'll bring it with me, and we can photo some true masochists in action.

Shoot well, eat lots of barbecue, and raise a glass to me on Day One at lunch!!

I word to the wise . . . bring some Off, Repel or your favorite brand of mosquito spray to the range. I was there this morning -- for about 30 minutes -- I had to leave when I pulled a muscle wrestling with one of the brutes. They are thick, thick with all the rain we have had. If it was not for the breeze this morning I would have just turned around and come home. Lesson learned today: Now I have a can of 40% deet spray in the truck tool box.

take B-complex vitamin TOO!

'bout time for the map, a'int it?

Keith

Rusty will be posting directions.. he always does...

Details link at top of thread has it all.
Or, try this

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/m...code=&submit=Get+Map

Take Highway 288 south to County Road 57 (this is past Beltway 8 -- Bass Pro Shops -- and Highway 6). Turn right on County Road 57. Go down County Road 57 about two miles and the range is on the right. If you can get to Highway 288, the rest is a piece of cake.
