Is anyone going to or has anyone been to the Stopping Rifle Clinic in Idaho?

Never heard of the clinic. Is it a clinic for ailing Stopping Rifles or their operators??

I found out about it at the SCI convention in Reno, but didn't have time to talk to them about it. It's a two day event. It is supposed to be held sometime this spring. It will be conducted by Butch Searcy, Tom Turpin, Keith and Niki Atcheson and others. Sounds interesting.

How long has that been going on?

What's the venue? Events? Prizes?

that's not like the one somebody had last year that cost a couple thousand dollars a head to get in is it? There's one in Houston in three weeks that is FREE!!!

It does sound like it's for the extended pinky finger crowd.

Revenue generating social event??

sounds like it to me...

Just come to Houston and meet your extended family...that one uncle on your Dad's side that nobody talks about. Come meet the infamous crowd: JeffeOsso, Boomstick, ISS, Neal Shirley, the people here that DO things.

I'd load up my Pinto Wagon and drive over with a load of stuff.....and head a little north of there to see a lost uncle I do have. However, my parents are coming from the other coast to terrorize us for a few days on the same weekend.

I suspect that this SHoot, Hoot, & Toot Fest will have a sequel in the fal which I will be obliged to attend.

yahhh! But that one will be a survivors reunion bash...

Would not want to discount anything that promotes our interests here, but for a few thousand bucks I can promote the firearm industry and buy another stopper. Rodney.

Rodney,

we can count on you next month in Houston, right?

Thanks for asking and yes I'll be at the shoot in Houston. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Rodney.

Boy you guys are TOUGH!
Peter.

It sounds like a nice place to stop by and say hello and see what they do in there.

I think its basically a double rifle clinic..I briefly talked to Butch about it..

Double rifles? Ray, This isn't a fund raiser for O'Bama is it?

ouch!

calm down Phil...

With all these replies, nobody's said yay or nay as to if there is a clinic and where it will be if there is. I live here in SW Idaho and would travel a ways just to shoot,see, and socialize. How about it? Is it happening or not and if it is, where??

Thanks in advance for the headsup.

Yes, it is happening at the Flying B ranch in Kamiah Idaho, (up in the panhandle). Three day event and it sounds like they take real good care of you. It will be on the last weekend in March and cost is $ 2,500.00 per person. You can contact Dan Blanco at danb@flyingbranch.com .

sheesh! That much money will buy me a new CZ in 505 Gibbs. Sounds like a revenue generating project for sure...

Can I do the same thing in Houston for about 25% of that number?

Wow...

I am sure it will be first class but pricey.

Rich you have to organize one for the rest of us beer budget people.

Rich, Lawndart and I are looking at the possibility of having a big bore shoot here in Nampa this summer. My first thought is to shoot the Zim Profeciency Exam as the first shoot.

Something for the water jug slayers? Hmmm.

Can see it now - "Jug Hunters" with lunch catered by Hooters....

458 Win,
I guess Butch "Obabma mama" Searcy will be one of the instructors and he is the best I promise you that...He can flat shoot a double rifle...

I think the fee to go is $900.00 or so bucks...contact Butch Searcy if your interested.

465H&H,

JPK,

we DO have a Hooters in Boise (22 miles east). It's a perfect deal, the Cabela's is right across the street! Everything a man needs, except a good cigar, and that's just another three miles NE.

Since muzzle brakes seems to be the vouge for the really big ones today, maybe it is a clinic were they custom make hearing aids.......
