Everyone, On March 9th, the DRSS and ARBBA are having their first combined shoot and luncheon.

There will be a Course of fire, simulating (loosely) some Safari Action. Plan on 10 to 12 rounds for the course of fire.

Attendance will be a $10/person fee, which will be donated to the Shooting Club that is loaning us their 50 yards range.

When: March 9th, 10:00 until Whenever
What: Shoot, Meet and Great, and Lunch
Where: Juliff, Texas (Just a couple miles from 288 and highway 6, in Alvin/ Pearland.

We need to have a decent guess at how many people will be there, so we can plan for lunch. We will be providing lunch (tips appreciated) without charge to you, so we would like to get close.

Question:
Please, if you have a buddy on AR that is coming, let them answer,

Headcount
Please answer for yourself and anyone who WOULD NOT ANSWER THEMSELVES on this post. Just trying to get a headcount.

I'll be there with 600 in tow. Are you going to do a bbq set up for lunch? I've got lots of game, mostly Bison, I'd gladly donate to the cause.

To save time, the BBQ will already be cooked before we get to the range. We'll just be warming it up.

That looks like fun. Let me see if I can drum up some business in Houston that week.

Think I'll be there with a shiny 500 Cyrus. Bet you guys don't have one of those!

Rich, I'll give you a call.

Yep! You should change the thread to SHoot, Hoot, & Toot since all y'all geysers will be eatin' BBQ and drinkin' diet beer!!

I might be the only under 40 there

I'll be passing out "beano" to y'all

Well, I'm under 30, so you won't be completely alone...

JD,
the closest town is alvin, and there's tons of motel 6 and cheaper hotels right there. I don't know any hotel names down there.

Anyone in pearland know?
jeffe

I will try to make a list and post what is available in the area this weekend.

Thanks guys
JD

I wish I could make it. Have fun guys!

I realize you may want to be close to a hotel -- but the nicer downtown Houston hotels tend to run specials during the weekend (there's still Houston'a ~20% hotel tax, though...) My parents usually stay at the JW Marriott when they come down -- decent place.

Please be careful in big hotels!!

I think my wife & I will try to make it . . . I've only got one rifle that "qualifies"

9,3x62 CZ 550

unless I can convince my wife she "needs" to go ahead and buy that 375 ruger she was drooling on last weekend.

Troy

I will be there with at least one 475 Turnbull and possibly 2, 10# and 7# rifles. I have lots of ammo loaded so every one that wants to shoot them can. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Doug

Count me in. Bob

i'm in....

Me too!

I'll be there plus one, possibly two. Can't wait to get to meet you guys.

I was just surfing the web a minute ago and found a "Charging Rhino" target that I can print in 36"x48" or 24"x36" it is no trouble if you want some for the shoot, just let me know what size and how many.
I printed one in 36x48, looks pretty cool! I think I'm gonna shoot a charging rhino this weekend.

I will be there and willing to help if and where needed. Rodney.

I'd like to attend also...can probably scrape up something interesting to bring.
John
DRSS

I'll be bringing a buddy of mine and his father (I originally voted that I was just bringing myself)

Do you need help w. anything? Drinks, etc?

Awesome .. Ya'll,, let keep this going!
jeffe

I'm in!

me too... probably bringing a 470 capstick and
maybe a new 470 nitro... : )

Oh wow!! With his mentioning of "can probably scrape up something interesting to bring", it's a sad day again for me (stuck up here).
I GOTTA FIND A WAY TO MOVE TO TEXAS, SOON!!
Y'all are havin' a blast, OFTEN!

.366Torque,

don't whine, I know you can make it to the Montana Match in June. It's just a few minutes over to Plains from there and we can go watch Dan Lilja make barrels.

We need, for 2009; to set up a monthly circuit for big bore shoots. Let us gather and shoot all over the country.

June, you say. That would be a beautiful time of year!
A plan seems to be a preconcieved failure lately, but I'm not saying no.

It's another great day to live in Texas!
