All nice and new so we can hit them by accident.

Did I mention that Jeffe has imposed a 20 sec penalty for hitting his stands?

i am bringing a can of spray paint, to cover up the last shooters low shots!

At that rate if you hit the first might as well take out the second. . He is always trying to handicap me last year he was timing for me and made me shoot the second jug laying on the ground with the butt facing me. All this old fart could do to see the darn thing.

See you guys in the morning.

Pics and video please!!!

loaded and ready to head out... ill have my laptop if somebody brings a camera and cord...

...you had better make it two canx of paint.

They 'Killed:" 10, of my stands last time.

That would be all of them that were brought.

A couple only looked wounded to me.

Bending rebar into a squared u shape and hammering in the ground then using rope and a carabiner might work well to hang jugs, 2 liters or birthday balloons in plastic shopping bags.
Just a thought.

All gave some, some gave all.

All loaded up ....
flinchie says's he's coming ...
who wants to cover the over on that? (that he shows)

anyway, I am bringing the lott, the 7x64 brenneke, and the destroyer .. as well as a skeeter fogger!

You children have fun now, and be safe.

I look forward to the pictures. It would have been great to have been able to come down, but just don't have the time right now.

What a great Shoot!
Thanks All!!

So who has the record for longest trip shootaway or Boom Stick?

Thanks to all it was another fantastic day. Maybe when I grow up I'll be able to shoot like Berit. I believe she took two jugs in 2.83secs shooting left handed with a right hand 375.

Boomie came from cali .. i THINK he came farther
Thanks for Coming George

Berit did it in 2.83, exactly the same as last year!

today i got to shoot
500 NE
470NE
458 lott
450/400
10,75x68
400PDK
375 hh
7x64
9x23 destroyer .. and did a darn fine showing with it!

and only 9 hits on the stands -during the course of fire --- got another 4 hits during the free form shooting...

one NICE group, .300 2 shot group.. only it was 4" under the water line

on, and one shot on the BASE!

Thanks to everyone who showed up and helped make our event a great success! Special thanks to BobC, Lee440, Jeffeosso, MJines, Ed Henderson, and the rest who pitched in.

Jeff, Jim & Andy




Two of the coolest people you will ever meet!
Bill & Berit Pace.


Jeffe and Berit


George came all the way from Canada for the shoot. Please to note that we have properly inducted him into the "Scope Scar of Fame"!
He pitched right in and helped with the timing of the events.



Jack Williams showed up and brought his early California Rigby chambered in 500 NE.


I shot the rifle. It looks, feels great and was very accurate! I was very surprised!
It was not "boxy or Chunky" as the later doubles from Rigby Pasa Robles.


JD Donnelly came from New Orleans and brought a 505 Gibbs.



Anyone care to guess what action the rifle was made on? Need a clue? Everyone has been waiting and cuss'n the slow production? Anyone, Anyone? Bueller?


Thank you, thank you we have a winner! It's a Montana Rifle Co. PH action!

A few of the rifles brought to the shoot!


It is so wonderful to be in the company of such fine folks! Hope to see y'all in October for the next Hoot & Shoot!

I'm so jealous. I'll be in Houston week after next.

many thanks to the guys from bayou rifles for allowing us to shoot there today.... i enjoyed seeing several new faces, and visiting with the guys i'd already met....

What a fun shoot it was my second one and If you want to win shoot a .458 socom. Really not fare but it would sure do the JOB. I had a blast thanks to all who put it together (Rusty and Jeff) next time I hope to have my 505 built.

Keith

What a good time!!!

If you haven't got it get Berit DVD, its great for a long ride. The lady can shot!!!!

I am sorry about the wet paint on the 505 Gibbs/ MRC PH. Jeff did what he could to get it to me quick,and I only had it for 9 days.
Fiber glass stocks takes time to build up and it was a push to get her shoot able for this week end. I was up to midnight last night and up at 6 setting her up to feed. I hope every body got to shoot it who wanted to. Most of you killed your water jugs on the first shot. It was worth the work to watch your expression after the shot. It was like "I survived and dam that was fun" and "no it was not that bad and can I do it again just to make sure"


Kim and I had great time, thanks to all!

JD

Cool pictures. It was a very enjoyable get together.

A few more pictures. And thanks to Jeff, Rusty, and others for putting on the event,



Laying a smoke screen should be against the rules.



Exploding Dangerous Water Jugs



Everybody pitched in.



What can you say?



Are those 500 MDM and 458 B&M rounds?

It was a Hoot in every sense of the word.

Special thanks to Rusty and the folks at Bayou Rifles. A personal thank you to JD and Jack for allowing me to play with their respective 500 NE's. Jack, my son showed off that shell you gave me to all his friends at his baseball game, the boys were awed by the size of the round.

JD you will be glad to know that I am finally starting to regain feeling in my right arm after the session with the 505.

Looking forward to October.

Regards,
Mario

sounds like I missed a real fun shoot.

Rich

Welcome back Rich!
Let's see that Africa Report!

Well done ladies and gents, looks like fun had by all.

We have our annual "AHN" Big Bore shoot in a month, can't wait.

Keep the pics coming .

Paz

WOW! Looks like it was a great time. I truly am sorry I couldn't make it.

I'm surprised no one was decked out in camo.

Do you actually hoot before, during or after you shoot?

Mike, those rounds do look vaguely familiar! Damn, I wish I had caught on soon enough I would have sent you some rifles to take and shoot too!

Next time we must make a plan! Or I could send them to Jeffe for his approval!

Glad you guys had a great day of it!

Michael

Congratulations to you all…It looks like a very enjoyable gathering…especially the smiling faces of the ladies and kids!

had a great time at the shoot & i'm already looking forward to the next one.
lots of good people & some of the finest rifles you will ever see.

Looks like we missed a good one. Robin and I are looking forward to the October shoot. Hope it's later in the month. We gotta go chase some Wyoming pronghorn and mulies in early October. I got a hankerin' to try some of those NE's.

John and Robin

Hoot -- talk and laugh .. its great to see folks grinning and happy after their turns

surprised to see no one in camo? While not required, this is generally an sportsman hunting event .. field shirts are the norm...

but, here I am in urban camo

WOW



I brought a friend from south Texas with me this time, Larry Cook. He took first place with a rifle he had never fired before--Rusty's 404J!!! Larry had never shot a bigbore prior to this event. He was most impressed and we talked about it all the way back. I think he'll become a registered member of AR pretty quickly. He is chompin' at the bit to come to the fall show! Larry told me he has not fired a rifle in the offhand position in over 15 years!

This shoot was the best yet. I went to my first by myself-spring 2009. My second I took my girlfriend 3-Oct-09, where I fired the 4 biggest caliber rifles anyone will ever see. This time, my third shoot, I brought a friend who is as enthusiastic as I am.

Berit let me shoot Finn's .375! Knowing its history made my heart pound just holding it for a picture! She also showed me pictures of the last buffalo she took #49!!
I added a few ctgs to my bigbore have shot list:
500 Jeff Thanks MJines. A takedown rifle.
404J Thanks Rusty. I took third place with this rifle I had never before fired.
500NE 3" Thanks Jack. That is a fabulous double.

Mike Jines let me put a couple rounds through his mauser type B in 10.75x68. Excellent shooter.

Shootaway did a superb job with Jeffe's 458Lott RSM. I have never seen a person crank rounds out of one so fast and be so accurate!


Once again a big thank you to Bayou Rifles Gun Club for allowing us to rearrange the mud in your backstop!

A grand time for all that show up.

I have memberships in a couple other shooting organizations, but I have yet to run across a more generous and genuine group as the guys and gals that attend and put together these Hoot-and-Shoot get togethers!

Lets not forget the BBQ! Fantastic!

Looking forward to the fall shoot!

Jeffe, I was wearing camo......shorts

Andy

Flinchie did good!
But, honestly, if you want to see someone rip off lott loads, talk to Jines!
