Cal,

The Wojo's are in!! I get my hip done on July 1st but suspect I can still be propped up again a pole and double a double with the best of them.

Tell Rob "the Madam" expects to have some glowing barrel full auto action.

Cheers
Jim

"If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?"

"PS. To add a bit of Pappasonian philosophy: this single barrel stuff is just a passing fad. Bolt actions and single shots will fade away as did disco, the hula hoop, and bell-bottomed pants. Doubles will rule the world!"

I think I might try some fishing while I am there.I heard you can catch Barracuda from the shore for nothing.At least I know there will be some fish in the sea.
They say it will be nice and hot there too-that means ice in my drinks.

Many don't reply to my emails, but so far 3 don't care, 4 want Sat, two Sunday, and a few can't make it.

If fairness to all, let's do July 18, Sat. for the next double rifle shoot at Birchwood.
Mike, I know this is not your day, but can you make it for a couple of hours?

So who's going to be there?

Joyce and Jim are likely in. I have hip surgery July 1st so may well only be a spectator.

I sent out emails to 41 gents about our next shoot: Saturday, July 18, 10am Birchwood.
Email and RSVP and we'll pitch in for the lunch.

I won't be able to make it. I have the same damn continuing education every year that same weekend. Let's shoot for the weekend after next year.

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.
-Seth Peterson

If you guys can firm the dates or the first shoot in May a little farther out I will come out for that one in 2016.

Thanks, Jim.
The range opens at 10am and the fee for the range is 20$. We have a few guests coming, one from New Zealand. The grill and food are confirmed and lunch is around noon. I will have two rifles you gents have not seen yet--a Holland royal in .500 bpe and a Rigby box lock ejector in .350 no2.
See you Saturday.

Biebs:
When you are ready, let me know. I'll arrange airport pickup, stay at my home, shoot my doubles, eat my food, drink my liquids, etc. My place is yours.
And, if you give me any shit, I'll take you on a nature walk in brown bear country with a pound of bacon in your backpack.
Cheers to you and your Blaser.

Good Hunting,

Gee, Jim, to compare me to Shootaway. What an honor--to be mentioned in the same sentence with the double rifle master.

Notice I didn't mention you engraving "Lawn and Alder" over "Bikal" on your double.
