Ol Bull

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.

" If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand which feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countryman " Samuel Adams, 1772

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

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)

Cool. That's only about a 5.5 hour drive for me.

And Fritz454 ain't far from their either, eh?

I would definitely try to attend, even if I can't bring my rifles....

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.

20 February 2008, 03:44

Macifej

I will be there with a 585 AHR, 600 OK and maybe a 700 AHR with ammo for those who wish to take a whack or two. Looking forward to it. What's for lunch?

If Californians are invited it sounds like a blast!

Maybe Macifej will want to carpool

If you want to carpool in a 737 I'm game. I don't do road trips anymore.

That might have to do

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.

I'm busy building a house but just might find time to make that shoot....does a .404 Jeffery qualify?

If I was able to make it (with my 600 OK and .416 WBY), what airport would I fly into from NJ?

23 February 2008, 02:15

Ol Bull

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

Hope to see you there!

Are the prairie dogs thawed out by the first part of June???

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.

Gophers with a Big Bore

18 April 2008, 16:58

Bitterroot

Ol Bull, give me a heads up on your next work day at the range, I will come to help. It might be a little tough for me getting over the divide this Sat. with the snow coming in. I miss Global Warming.

18 April 2008, 23:56

Ol Bull

Bitterroot, i think i've got it handled

(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!
