Idaho Sharpshooterwhat a nice thing to say to your best friend! I may have to call your lovely wife and "rat you out"! You'll be sleeping out in that shop of yours awhile, pally. Besides, I was only 18 at the time.
regards,

bigdoggy700Since it is getting closer, do we have a total or at least a close number as to who all is showing up? I will be there.

Idaho SharpshooterYou, and me, and Bitterroot makes three.
Anybody else?

the other trhead only has about 8-10 people that actually say they will be there. I was just curious who all was coming. I am sure it will be a great time.

Rodney H.{500Jeffery}Count me in, I'll be there with 500AR in tow. I'm also bringing at least one guest.

Sid PostWhere do people stay for this shoot? On site camping? Local motels?
Thanks!
Best Regards,

bigdoggy700This will be my first, but local motels seems to be the choice.
08 September 2009, 02:19
ForrestBNo on-site camping. This would be a good choice for a nearby hotel (10 minutes north of the range):
Best Western Manvel Inn & Suites
19301 Highway 6 @ Hwy 288 South
Manvel, TX 77578
(281) 489-2266
bestwesterntexas.com
Another option for out-of-towners would be to spend Friday night at the Best Western (above) and then, after the shoot, head further south to the coast. It's about 45 min to Freeport and you could do a little surf fishing for fall run redfish on Surfside beach and spend Saturday night at a hotel in Freeport. Freeport has lots of options from camping to dingy motels to nice hotels.

That's right. All the four star hotels are up the road here in Clute.

You do not send the rifle to someone else, you send it to yourself at that address! We ship rifles and heavy gear to Alaska all the time, and pick them up at air-fraight when we arrive in Anchorage! Of course now that we are strapped with the Obama grabbers, no telling what has passed under the radar, so it might pay to contact the ATFE personally, face to face and ask! My advice is get it in writing for the shipper!

Rodney H.{500Jeffery}What are the prizes for best shooters? 1st place, runner-up etc. Was'nt there an ugliest rifle contest at one time?

FjoldIt looks like I can't make it.

I was trying to arrange a "business trip" to Houston for that week but the company fooled me and is
forcing me to go to Hawaii the week before and I don't know exactly when I'll get done with that job.
