Just returned from the shoot. Fine doubles everywhere! Great company--fine gents all. Burgers for a good lunch at the range. Beautiful AK spring day. 35 degrees, combination of snow and rain. I'm sure others will post pics here as I can't seem to figure it out.
AKman--wish you had made it.
Shootaway--In my college classes on abnormal psychology we never touched on someone such as yourself. Please listen to Bob Dylan's Positively 4th Street--the last four lines--and know how folks feel about you.
AK gents--how about the first weekend in June, July, and August?
Cal

That may be the funniest thing I have read on AR in a long time. tu2 I had not thought of that song in ages.

Tell me Shootaway, what do you think about them and Bob Dylan?
Just curious.
How is life in Montreal?

Mike: Glad you recall the song. And, I'm sure you will agree, it fits.

Cheers,
Cal

I think he meant wizened. One thing is for sure, I have no desire to know what part of his anatomy he was referring to as being wizened.

A slight error, Mike. I shot the bull's eyes OUT of the targets. Don't give me any shit or I'll send a note of apology and an invitation to stay at your home to Shootaway and sign your name to it.
Good to see you again. Regards to your wife.

Mike:
1. The bore diameter of my rifles is larger than the bull's eyes.
2. Witnesses? You were all drinking so much none of what you all say can be believed.
3. You and S. are peas from the same pod.

We even had a guest appearance from AR's own 458win. Phil was enjoying the shoot also.
BUT he failed to bring any of his DR's out.

Mike, thanks for the photos, and thanks to everyone who came out despite that rain and snow. I had a blast and am (almost) done with cleaning! We'll definitely need to do it again this summer before the rains come.

And I certainly recognized that beautiful Bland 4 bore! Still the classiest gun I've ever had the privilege to shoot.

Looks like a good time was had by all. I am truly sorry I was out of town.

It warms my heart that Cal was hitting the bulls eye not just on the range but also with his comments about Richard Cranium.

I feel relieved and safe knowing that Canadians have no reason to visit.

It's planned for the first weekend of the month. Sat or (hopefully for me) Sunday!

And I haven't heard of any food poisoning from Bretts burgers either. Wink But there was speculation if that was cheese built in to them or tofu! Eeker Roll Eyes
