So long to the Houston area shooters

Just wanted to say so long to the Houston area DRSS & the Bubbas. I have really enjoyed shooting with you guys over the last several years.

The second truck is loaded and we head out in the morning for Denver. So I'll be in the market for new shooting buddies.

You guys get out my new way give me a shout and we can have a beer or coffee.

Paul, sorry to see you go.

It had been a pleasure to have you here at the "Bubba" shoots.

To the guys in CO., Paul is a guy you will want to have at your shoots.

Thanks guys for your kind words.

Jim I'll keep it warm as soon as I figure out where I packed the ammo.

At the current minute I have guns and ammo in both Houston and Denver. The Chapuis currently is across the room sharing my SKB case with my Dakota Model 10. Where ammo is for either one is a crap shoot.

Well darn big state. Drove 6 hours yesterday 8 hrs today and still in Texas. But we are darn close to leaving. In Dalhart.

Darn I'll have to explain to my 340PDK that it shouldn't have killed those CO elk. LOL Guess the 380PDK could kill and elk as well. But yes kids there will be new rifles built as soon as I get in a house and get settled.

I have driven in snow and ice. But I will admit to needing some practice.

The wife and I have all kinds of winter clothes that are dry rotting so we needed to put them to use.

Paul,
There are some really great guys you should get to know in the area. Mike McCabe (posts as Z1R) lives in Denver and is a great guy to shoot with - and also to have work on your guns. Dave Snellstrom (posts as Snellstrom) lives around Colorado Springs and is a great guy. I live in Colorado Springs but packing up and moving home to idaho as soon as the Army finishes my retirement paperwork!!!! If you want to go shooting send me a PM and we can get together before I take off.
