How long do you expect the match to go on?

The reason i am asking is that it looks like if I come, I would have to fly out the morning of the 7th. Earliest flight lands at around 1PM in Great Falls.

What's the drive to the range?

Thanks,
Paul

CCMDoc, the range is 120 miles south of Great Falls. I expect the "match" to be done between 3 and 4 PM. Shootin will probably go on till 6 or 7PM i'm thinkin. It depends on how many shooters i have and how much shootin and how much shootin the shit goes on. Big Grin Hope to see ya but if not i understand.... wave I'll keep goin till you guy's say goodnight Big Grin

Bitterroot, the range is a half mile from Boulder. Boulder is 30 miles south of Helena on I15. Take the High Ore exit and follow the signs to the range. Smiler

My language is pretty salty right now. I've been told its imperative I attend a seminar June 5-7 (leave on 4th, get back on 8th) for work. Since I had not put in for vacation (was going to take a sick day for travel on the 6th to Montana), I have no recourse. Please shoot a bunch for me...even put my name on a watermelon. Wink Sorry I won't meet all of you gentlemen.

Must be contagious! :argh:

I will have to be on the road until late on June 6th due to a business emergency, and have to be in Castlegar (a four hour drive in the opposite direction from your shoot) on June 8th. So, it looks bleak for me having time to pull off the drive to Boulder and back to join you guys.

Combine this with a mystery GI ailment I've been fighting for a while, and putting my back out last weekend doing yard work (which will preclude me from shooting even if I can make it), and I am sure most of you can guess my current mood....

Hopefully this will be a regular thing for you, as I truly regret missing this opportunity already.

Canuck

Flight to Great Falls, hotel (Extended Stay America Great Falls) and compact car all reserved. I arrive in GF on the 7th at 1:06PM and if all goes well should get to the range by about 3PM or so. Willprobably miss all the matches but will hopefully get some shooting in.

Should I bring the 600 OverKill and .416 Weatherby or leave them home and just shoot what's there?

See you on the 7th gang!!! BOOM
