Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Proclaim it through your hosts that on May the 2nd of 2009, from 10 AM- 2 PM, in the hamlet of Juliff, Texas the not so Royal and Ancient Double Rifle Shooters Society in association with the AccurateReloading.com Big Bore Association will hold their 2nd Annual Shoot and Hoot.

The entry fee, payable when you check in, is $15.00 US. If you just show up to visit and eat lunch that's just fine, the same $15.00 US fee applies. A modest barbecue lunch of brisket with beans and potato salad will be served. Bring your own drinks! No alcohol allowed on the range! Any funds left over after covering the cost of the shoot will be donated to our host facility Bayou Rifles, Inc.

We would like to thank Bayou Rifles for allowing us to use their facility again this year. Please remember that we are guests!

This is a rifle match only. Double rifles, bolt trash, lever actions, trap doors, pump action and single shots rifles may be used. Black powder cartridge rifles are welcome. No muzzle loading rifles. Due to facility rules the following calibers can not be used, 50 BMG, any cartridge based on the 50 BMG, 408 Cheytac or 338 Laupua. Bring your own eye and ear protections. Both are required to shoot in the event.

We would ask those attending to please bring extra ammo so others, if they wish, may shoot your rifle under your supervision, to "try it out".
As we did last year, there will be tables set up to display your rifles. This is not a gun show. Tables are for display only.

The event can handle up to 50 shooters.


Course of Fire-

Stage 1- Shooter, standing, will fire 6 rounds from covered firing line at a bull's eye type target at 25 yards, for accuracy and time. In case of a tie there will be a two round shoot off.

Stage 2- Shooter standing, firing from the covered firing line will engage 2, 1 quart sized DWJ (Dangerous Water Jugs) on a wooden stand at 25 yards . .. A speed event. In case of a tie there will be a shoot off.

Awards, if any to be decided at a later date.

We all had a great time last year. We look forward to seeing and having fellowship with old and new friends alike again this year.
This event is all about having a good time!

The range is located on Juliff/Manvel Road between Texas 288 south and FM 521. Coming south on 288 look for the turn off to County Road 57 West. It is the second exit on 288 south of Highway 6.I will post a map.

GPS coordinates of the range are-
N 29 27.2005, W 95 27.002

That is all from Houston at this time!

Hmmmmm, I'm going to have to see if I can arrange some work in Houston that week.

We'll be glad to see you Frank!

Rusty

I see that I can not bring and use my 1886. If it is used as a 2 shot rifle will that meet the rules of engagement?

Doug,
of course you can.. and i'll probably need some 350s by then, again

Doug my oversight. Lever action rifles are most certainly permitted. I will amend my post. We'd be very happy to see you.

Just no muzzle loaders.

Kim R and I will most likely make it. Kim is checking his days off that week.

JD

Be sure and bring your own chair.

Can I shoot the same course with both a double and "bolt trash"? (as long as it's over .45 calibre)

Sure you can! We'll call .323 our minimum caliber this year.

I missed last years shoot. I will do my damnedest to get to this one.

Dang, sounds like I need to figure out a way to get to Houston about 1 May. Anybody from the Idaho area going?

Rich
maybe, just maybe, I will have my buffalo by then.

Gosh that eliminates my .303 that is starting to shoot well for me.
If I make it it will have to be the 500
Frank

Frank, bring both.

The little one will not be ignored. It will not compete with the big bores , but it will be fun to see a maybe shoot a classic English small bore.

Keith

If I'm still alive I'll not miss this one!

Great news, Mac.

I hope to see you there.

Keith

Some are asking for the map!

BRI Juliff Range

This should help.

Thanks again to everyone for a wonderful time! Gosh, we had fun!

Highlight of the event for me was getting to see Berit Pace, formally know as Mrs. Finn Aagaard, shooting Finn's rifle in the competition. She and her husband Bill are wonderful folks.

37 shooter and in a crowd of over 50 people.
We look forward to trying to do another shoot later this year!

I took home the Audio book set she had. I listened to it on the 7 hour drive home.

She and Finn had a very interesting start. She was quite the young lady. She was not afraid of much. She would jump in and help with the skinning or climb a tree and wait for hours while the boys would finish tracking wounded Dangerous game.

Finn spoke at length about their courtship. I found that to be the most charming part of the audio book.

JD

I got the printed book, should have got the audio one too.

Bill and Berit are great people!

They are indeed , sorry I missed them.

Man what a bummer! I had to miss the shoot but I did get to meet Berit at DSC. What a neat lady. I got the book and the CD's, I just wish I could have been there.
