Since the falling apart of the H&H DR shoot in Washington, I have been thinking how it could be resurrected for 2011. There is a sizable community of DR owners/shooters in Baker City, Oregon. They hold a DR shoot there. Big range. A couple of them are coming up next week to tour the Elmer Keith Museum in the Boise Cabela's, chow down, and do the cigar & Amarula thing in the back yard.

It could work, it is barely a two hour drive from the Boise Airport.

Vintagers shoot is over for another year. I shot very good the first day and shot exceptional the second day. Felt very satisfied with my shooting. I was in third place after the first days shoot and finished in 6th place overall. Sure did enjoy it and great to meet friends.
I will be uploading pics and video clips.

Thanks for the pics and clip, Mike. That's some good work with the .577, and your colleague sure can run that H&H.

I had a blast. Thursday wasn't such a great day for me but I had fun. Friday I tripled my Thursday score it was a great day. Always good to see the guys and the shoot is so much fun. I shot the drilling tournament Sat. It's was a lot of fun too. Now I have to wait a year to do it again.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Mike,
Looks like you all had a lot of fun. Wish I'd come down after all, tho I can live without the heat and humidity that you guys had. See you in the spring at Deep River.

Best to you and Jeff,
Ron.

Bill,

Our local club, Central Oregon Shooting Sports in Bend, just put on their second Big Bore/Double Rifle shoot this past month. Unfortunately the person in charge has made it an "by invitation only" event. We had a total of twenty-one shooters. With the current way the shoot is run that was about max.

I wish I had a way to post pictures, I'd send one or two along.

After the event, the club president and I were talking, and we're going to try to put on at least one and possibly two events per year featuring a walking course and moving targets. At least one of the events would be for big bore/double rifles.

If this comes to fruition, I'll post a notice and hopefully some of the good folks here will be interested.

Congrats to Josh Weiner for winning the stopping rifle shoot. Josh set a new course record using a Verney-Carron 500 NE. Josh had also set the previous record in 2008 using a V-C 450-400.

Wait till Josh gets his bespoke V-C, he'll be hell on wheeels!! Big Grin

For those who do not know, Josh is a leftie shooting right hand guns. I suppose he has given all a handicap for only so long. Wink

Fine job Josh!! tu2 tu2 tu2

Josh is "hell on wheels" already, and a great guy besides. He also took first in the stalking rifle competition. Congrats again. I did manage to wrest the Alexander Henry Cup [single shot] back from him however.

We always have a good time!

Here is some youtubes of the entire course. Though I didn't shoot as well as others I shot better than last year and I had a blast. I can't wait until next year to do it again.

Now where can I find a place in New York to practice. Confused Confused
