jeffeossoPictures Added! Fall 2010 Hoot N Shoot DRSS - ARBBA
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Proclaim it through your hosts that on October the 23rd of 2010, from 10 AM- 2 PM, in the hamlet of Juliff, Texas the not so Royal and Ancient Double Rifle Shooters Society in association with the AccurateReloading.com Big Bore Association will hold their Semi-Annual Shoot and Hoot - 2010 .
The entry fee, payable when you check in, is $15.00 US. If you just show up to visit and eat lunch that's just fine, the same $15.00 US fee applies. A modest barbecue lunch of brisket with beans and potato salad will be served. Bring your own drinks! No alcohol allowed on the range! Any funds left over after covering the cost of the shoot will be donated to our host facility Bayou Rifles, Inc.
We would like to thank Bayou Rifles for allowing us to use their facility again this year. Please remember that we are guests!
This is a rifle match only. Double rifles, bolt trash, lever actions, trap doors, pump action and single shots rifles may be used. Black powder cartridge rifles are welcome. No muzzle loading rifles. Due to facility rules the following calibers can not be used, 50 BMG, any cartridge based on the 50 BMG, 408 Cheytac or 338 Laupua. Bring your own eye and ear protections. Both are required to shoot in the event.
We would ask those attending to please bring extra ammo so others, if they wish, may shoot your rifle under your supervision, to "try it out".
As we did last year, there will be tables set up to display your rifles. This is not a gun show. Tables are for display only.
The event can handle up to 50 shooters.
Course of Fire-
Stage 1- Shooter, standing, will fire 6 rounds from covered firing line at a bull's eye type target at 25 yards, for accuracy and time. In case of a tie there will be a two round shoot off.
Stage 2- Shooter standing, firing from the covered firing line will engage 2, 1 quart sized DWJ (Dangerous Water Jugs) on a wooden stand at 25 yards . .. A speed event. In case of a tie there will be a shoot off.
Awards, if any to be decided at a later date.
(though used primers will be available for lower placed finishers!)
We all had a great time last year. We look forward to seeing and having fellowship with old and new friends alike again this year.
This event is all about having a good time!
The range is located on Juliff/Manvel Road between Texas 288 south and FM 521. Coming south on 288 look for the turn off to County Road 57 West. It is the second exit on 288 south of Highway 6.I will post a map.
GPS coordinates of the range are-
N 29 27.2005, W 95 27.002
That is all from Houston at this time!

KY JimI'd give the left cheek of my ass to be there! And Yes, I'd even shoot the .600OK! Man, I HATE being Laid Up and Laid Off! Where is this town, anyway? I might be back to work, and be able to swing by in the Office. Is there room for an 18-wheeler in the parking area?

Idaho SharpshooterJust drive that big dog straight west to Houston and turn left towards Galveston. Park it at the hotel we are setting up for.

Pete A.Why no muzzle loaders?
There are no rules in the 2010 "Bayou Rifles, Inc. Facility and Range Rules/Safety Rules" that negates their use on the 50/25yd range at Juliff? (refer to "specific rules for Juliff Facility J4") Would seem the "original" big bores would be welcome, though as stated it is a "match" and match director can decide what firearms are acceptable.
Seen a few of the double Pedersoli 50's & 54's thru the years this specific 25/50 range.
My youngest & I were pounding away Sat morn at Eldridge Range with our 50cal T&C Renegade. To him this was as big and cool as any. Big boom, big cloud, lots of fun, albeit with dirty hands.

CBNHNTRI'll be there, would not miss it.
26 August 2010, 02:28
RustyThere are no muzzle loaders because we don't have a class for them. If you want to bring your muzzle loader and shoot it after the match, please do so. We'd be glad to have you!
The competition is limited to cartridge rifles only.

drewhenrytntI might even try to load some 600 OK for the shoot. It would be nice to have some idea how many folks are interested in shooting the OverKill. I would hate to not have enough ammo!

drewhenrytntYa know what Rusty......I have some friends coming from north Texas that claim they are unaffected by recoil. Find a 9lb 700! That should fix 'em. Or if Harry brings the 550Magnum with no muzzle break and no pad or other recoil suppressing device.

drewhenrytntSorry to disappoint recoil junkies, but my 600 will not be coming to the shoot with me this fall. It is now in the shop of Tip Burns. There were some feeding/magazine box issues I had not previously been aware of. I might even add another crossbolt. Tip is pretty sure he can get it out by New Years maybe even before. There are other projects ahead of it. By the way anyone within a couple hours of Canyon Lake needs to drive over there and chat with Tip. He is a helluva nice and knowledgeable fellow.

drewhenrytntWorks for me!! Tip has for sale in his shop a fantastic 10.75x68. The stock is a bit short for me otherwise I might be tempted to buy it.

Harry, make 'em extra special...say 750gr@2500??
I have a couple friends coming from north Texas one of whom wants a 600OK. I have heard one of them say he is not recoil sensitive and the other will probably claim the same.

tiggertateProbably best if they try the 550 first. And FWIW, no fears if they let go. That rifle's been dropped more times than Madonna.

tiggertate700 @ 2350 is about tops. That is what you and Aglifter were shooting. The pain comes from the fact that the rifle is a little under 10 lbs, loaded.
