Houston Area Big Bore SHOOT

jeffeossoHouston Area Big Bore SHOOT
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!!

JTEXI would love to play. But all I can contribute up to now is a .375 H&H in a Ruger RSM.
10 December 2007, 21:00
GeorgeSJTEX,
A .375H&H qualifies (a .375 Winchester would not, right, Jeffe?).

jeffeossowell, 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"

JPennAm 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.

Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do.

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...

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

470 MbogoSounds 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

Bill/OregonDagnabbit, 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 ...
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.
