The Double rifle Shooters Society and the Accurate Reloading Big Bore Association are pleased to announce our next Hoot and Shoot.
Our hosts will once again be Bayou Rifles, Inc. of Houston Texas.

The event will be held at BRI's range located in Juliff, Texas just South of Houston. The event will be held from 10 AM to 2 PM.

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, 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. Bring your own chair!

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.

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.

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. See map link below.

GPS coordinates of the range are-
N 29 27.2005, W 95 27.002

Thanks Jeff.It looks like I will be there.I'll see on how I can go about bringing my rifle.I'll let you know if I'll need one.

16 March 2010, 06:38

ScottS

Jeff,

Thanks for the invitation, but due to work load I don't think I will be able make it. If it were closer it may have been possible. The only chance I would have is if my next business trip south of the border began that week. I don't think I will be going to Mexico again though until May. Have fun, and thanks again for the offer.

With 6 months notice I might be able to make it to the next one.

16 March 2010, 06:52

jeffeosso

okay scott .. there'll be another one in 6 months .. you too can borrow a rifle .. think you can make it in 6 weeks from now?

its a day flight for a jet setter!

hi gang i am for mid Michigan and am thinking this shoot will be a great time!but long drive for one but not bad for a group any one want to see if we can get a carpool going for this trip? clint

17 March 2010, 03:23

ScottS

Jeff,

Jet setter??? I am far from a jet setter Jeff, more like a nerdy little pathetic geek. In six months it's elk season, don't know will have to see. Six weeks, probably only if I am on my way to Mexico the following week and can catch a Friday night flight. Having said that Clint's idea has potential.

Clint I am from Michigan too, what are you thinking? PM me if you like.

Andy,

Here are some pictures with the refinished stock. The fellow that refinished the stock did a great job.

Mike,

Man that is fantastic!! I am mopping up the drool as I type! Guess I better bring a notepad, and make lots of measurements. I will be bringing the Postal and the stock blank that will be transformed into a 10.75. The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards a round barrel rather than an octagon and I think I can get a great deal on the barrel from a special undisclosed source.

I am looking forward with great anticipation to shooting your 10.75x68

Ditto! I am new to the big bore club, but I have a .405 Winchester I could bring to a rally in Oklahoma. Sounds like a lot of fun though!
