Howdy All...
I am thinking about putting together a BigBore shoot and gathering for our AR and other like minded folks. Heck of a chance to meet and greet

This is tenative, but I am thinking of Feb 10th, in the morning, with a fallback of March 9th, allowing for weather and/or late season hunts.

There is a condition, though... you either have to bring at least a 9,3x62 (no, a 57 doesn't count but a 74 does) or at least shoot a big bore!! (no, the 45/70/444/405 doesn't count, no matter WHAT you load it to )

Doubles, Single Shots, Turnbolts, frontstuffers, pistols.. bring em.

Place? TBD, I just haven't gotten that far (why:? because if we dont' start we'll never finish)

Time: Likely 10:00 till 14:00

What do: Shoot, Lunch, fellowship, share and shoot ..

Bring plenty of ammo, as I am certain everyone will want to give yours a try...

I'll keep ya'll up to date on this, and we'll probably have some BBQ, Tea, chips and soda's for lunch. And a tun of coffee!!

Count me in. I can provide 375H&H, 10.75x68, 416Rigby, 458Win, 458Lott, 460Wby & 500A2 if finished.

I'm in:
375 Ruger
458 Win Mag
454 Casull Snubnose -- if allowed.

I would love to play. But all I can contribute up to now is a .375 H&H in a Ruger RSM.

JTEX,

A .375H&H qualifies (a .375 Winchester would not, right, Jeffe?).

George

I can be persuaded to drive from San Antonio to Houston!

Well if that's enough "COUNT ME IN".

I am in.

458 lott
375 H&H

Right George... Unless it's in a pistol!

oh, yeah.. i forgot to mention mine
376 steyr
416 AR
458 AR
470 AR
(may have loaner 470 Mbogo)
500 AR
500 jeffe
550 express.

if i get off my @#$@$ i might even have a 375 ruger

jeffe

I'll try again. Who knows what I end up shooting; I'd really really like to show off my super-duper 22 lr 10/22.

I'm in.

375 H&H

well, I call "the dirt range" (to be nice) and they wanted an OBSCENE amount of money ... Guy keep telling me that "well, how many guys and guns" "Man, figure what you make on a sunday and charge us that" "well, but i charge by the gun" "I am trying to rent the range"...

Anyway, "NEXT"
jeffe

count me in... 9,3 x 74 r chapuis DR... im going after my .416 taylor tip burns made for me this weekend... i'll also have 2 or 3 .458's a 416 rem mag... does the .50 ae desert eagle count as a big bore???....

Am s newbie, but would like to participate. Wish I could help with an idea for a range. I joined Bayou Rifles some time back just to get access to a range where I can practice, versus public ranges that limit you to the bench. Don't know if enough others are members to have shoot there...just a thought.

I want to play!!!

9,3x62 Mauser with 4X scope OK?

I am ok for march,may have a problem in feb.

JD

Damn ... am going to be in Houston the previous weekend. Will have a 9,3x62 and either a .416 Aagaard or a .458 AR with me.

How about a 46 Extra Long Ballard Rimfire?

dirt range, concrete range, cook top with range.........I'm in.

I'd like to participate. Depends on how my scheduling goes.

Might be a good excuse to go home and see Momma.

The "Group" is now called
Accurate Reloading BBA
Big Bore Association.

Okay, 9.3x62mm and .404 Jeffery! Sounds like fun.

LLS

Thought that was "Big Bubba Association"!

What's the nearest REAL airport??

Let me know, I gots toys! Nearest airport to Jeff is IAH.

IAH is on my way to nearly any range, except the dirt range

I'll be happy to pick you up, day for or even the friday before

jeffe

Wife says Ok so I just have to come up with something to shoot!

There's already one of these in South Africa so unless you wanta be the North American chapter of an existing organization you will have to be the Big Bubba Association.

I would like to come but unfortunately I start working around the 1st of Feb. Yall have fun!!

It sounds like great fun.
Boohoohoo I don't live in 'Merica

My wife was supposed to go to San Antonio Feb 11 for a seminar but is begging out of going. I'll just have to wait for the north east chapter shoot...

Ya'll have fun.

Rick,

Are you not allowed to travel by yourself or does your wife fear you might come back wanting a new rifle?

George

I'm in as well. Will bring my .375 H&H.

Looks like something like 22 .. and I know at least 10 more guys that will show up ... at least I hope they do!

this woudl be a ton of fun!! I'll bring something for us to lean em all up against, and take some pics of these giant shooting irons!

bet this starts to look like 50-75 shooters

Hey Jeff have you tried the range on 2854 in conroe? Oh if I can lay my hands on a ruger 375 before then can I come?

George

Still "newlyweds" we didn't even hunt very far apart during deer season. And she knows I lived in Houston for five years so I might visit some of my old haunts of the gun shop variety if left to my own means...

I'll make it, as long as some South Texas quail do not "drag" me to the Valley in Feb. March should be no problem.

Keith

ps: will bring the Lott

Sounds like you guys are going to have a good turn out. Should be an absolute blast pardoning the expression. It would be worth the airmiles just to visit and meet everyone. It's a fair trip for just one afternoon. What about a two day shoot
Take good care
Dave

Dave,
Come on down 2 or three days early, we'll go pig hunting!

Add me to the list.

Dagnabbit, Jeffe, if you'd move the shoot to the Ashland Gun Club range here in Southern Oregon, I'd be there with a .375 H&H, a .577 3-inch BPE Martini and a .72 percussion double, but it might be 39 degrees and raining hard ...
