MacifejIf you can figure out a logical way to break up the photos into smaller batches I can post some for you. Maybe you should catagorize and then narrow by quality. I have big bandwidth and can host them on a dedicated page on my website if that helps then you can cut & paste them into a thread at will.

Ol BullI'll send ya SOME emails tomrrow...with pictures
THANKS

chuck375Sorry I missed it, this work thing is interfering with my life
Sad thing is I lived in Montana from 1973 - 1980 and haven't been back so was looking forward to it. Ah well always next year. Sounded like a great time!

09 June 2008, 04:20
MacifejYeah!! That was a bit of a job but partly cause of new software I tried that isn't very good.
We could post the photos from each shoot here in chronological order in it's own slide show.
If Jeffe El Oso want's I can do the same thing for the Houston Shoot.
Could do the shoot that the S.A. guys did a while back as well.
If things get really big then all the photos can be hosted on a stand alone web site.

Looks like you fella's had a BALL!!

MacifejRob - you and I have to get to the next one of these events. Building the stuff is only part of the equation.
Great!

BitterrootA little sun, a little wind, a few clouds and a few snow flakes; Montana in June.
Had a great time and lots of thanks to OL Bull and his crew.
Quite a few boys got to shoot the 600 OK resulting in some serious grins- ear to ear.
There will be another big bore shoot in Hamilton, MT on June 29th. The weather should be much warmer as we are in the Banana Belt of Montana.
Thanks again to Ol bull

Joe, EJ, Ty, Pops and myself will see you on the 29th

That was a 577 Nitro Express made on a Berretta 10 Gauge frame with mono-block barrels made by TY Chevalier ( hope I spelled his name correctly). A beautiful gun to look at and to shoot. It accounted for a few charging DWG's.
09 June 2008, 06:43
Ol BullThe double belongs to my buddy Ty. He built it on a Beretta Silver Hawk. Caliber is 577NE. And yes, them were some very DWG's

Idaho SharpshooterI'd like to thank CCMDOC for providing the 600 OK ammunition. I shot up 20 rounds of it, and 8 rounds of the 700 AHR (6 in 32 seconds). I cam attest to the fact that Wayne's brakes W-O-R-K!!
He and his lovely wife and their two children put me up for two nights and fed me! Major expenditure there. Ty's 577 10 gauge conversion was too nice for words. He said he could make me one for five-grand on my SxS!
The Quigley Rifle Match in Forsyth was also a hoot! Another record attendance, 604 shooters. I set a personal best this year with my 38-90 (9,5x74R), as did my brother with his Shiloh Sharps 50-90. I beat him, but he got all the style points.
What a fantastic ten days. Only got snowed on twice.

Idaho Sharpshooterthe Helena shoot, followed two days later by the Quigley makes the trip twice as easy to justify.
That and meeting my brother every year. Until gas hits $20 a gallon I am going to go.
