I'm going to put on a Big Bore Action Match here in Montana June 7th. I'm sure most of you have seen the video from BBAS on You Tube. I'm going to do my best to follow their led. Sorry but i don't have any moveing targets. They will all be stationary.

All targets are buffalo targets as that is all i could find. I got them from Safari Press.

All shots will be under 100 yards, most will be under 60 yards. Rounds fired will be 28.

This a FOR FUN Match only, no prize for the winner. Sorry.

It will be held at the High Ore Range 30 miles south of Helena.

Entry fee is $15 to cover the cost of targets.

I hope to see some of you there.

If you have any questions you can PM or E-Mail me.

Sign up starts at 8:00...Shootin a 9:30

Classes will be:
Big Bore Levergun: 38/55 - 50 Express
Medium Bore: .338 - .375
Big bore: .395 - .458
Ultra Big Bore: Over .458 - .700
Bolts, Doubles and Single shots will each have a separate class.
No sight restictions.
I have a vendor coming and he will have lunch, snacks, and beverages. This is not included in the entry fee.

Get Lilja to come over from Plains, and have him sponsor it with a barrel for a random drawing prize.

Helena?

Hey Rich don't we need shots and a VISA for that area?

I bet I'll be able to make that one.

(Get some other vendors to sponsor with some prizes etc. - I'll donate some stuff)

Highway 93 through Mackay and Salmon, the most beautiful drive in the world. Come over the hill from Salmon into the Bitteroot Valley and look me up.

Keep us informed with the details. I could probably make it and might be able to provide a deluxe recoil shield as a prize.

Bitterroot,

I plan to do that, right after I stop in Stevensville and see Rick Bachman and Argus Barker.
PM me a phone number when you get a minute.

I'm interested, the timing gives me plenty time to plan around work. The opportunity to check out and possibly fire "Bitteroots 700" is just a bit much for me, but I will try to maintain myself...Keep this post going as we {Texans} need a place to play in the summer. Rodney.

CCMDoc, either Helena, Great Falls or Bozeman. The last two are International airports.

Hope to see you there! Smiler

Dogs and gophers will be out in force in June. Depending on the amount of rain the grass may be getting a bit long to see em real well but picking out an eye ball in the hay is all part of the fun.

(Hmm, .395 cal in in big bore, and I have one. .338 and .375 are in medium bore, and I have one of each. Macifej is supposed to be making some .395cal 200grHPs for prairie dogs. I just might have to make this one.)

Hey, guys, if I can be off work that weekend, I'll be there from Colorado!
