You know Dan, you and TLEE could share a ride and do a road trip... probably pick up a couple more reprobates on the way... just say'n...
Kent yup, hit I-10, lasso Miss Lynn in Alabama, stop a bit in Houston, and I'll show you a shortcut to West Texas  Enough people show up and I might be forced to buy a new pickup.

No, but they put in a crosswalk for illegals that slows traffic down about the same.

� This is a typical "Rusty Iron" hospitality event, come one, come all, come early, stay late, excellent water and tolerable whiskey � And if it's anything like the January 2012 version, the absolute tops in quality camaraderie with a gaggle of reprobates! Reprobates. Is that French for "fat, old men"?

There are motels in SV, I just pull my trailer and park it at Greg's. If you want to bring a tent and cot I have a couple elec heaters and Greg may have a couple to make it toastie in January.
We usually have twice the food and I cook out of the trailer and grill outside. So bring yourself, snacks you like and a few beverages.
It's easy.

Man, I wish I could go to this. I grew up all my elementary years in Sierra Vista. It would be nice to go back just to see the place. I'm sure over 30+ years that it has changed a whole lot. Not to mention the company down there would my kind of company. You boys have a great time.
Is it Friday yet?

I was just going to mention the Porkeye match... I was runner up last year, and this year I will be gunning fr the win. Should be a lot of fun! Maybe Enrique will shoot the entire thing with that .32-20 this time?

The rare and special .357 Magnum revolver I'll be fielding ( I currently have $44.00 invested , total) is going to show you pikers what longer range pistola accuracy is really all about. Be advised.

elkhunternm stay tuned to this thread. It will likely amble along with updates as the dates draw nearer or point the way to newer threads that may get started. If all else fails you can always PM either KRP or myself probably.
The Porkeye Match last year was fired with a handgun of any choice fired from standing, targets were 5 pig silhouettes at 100 yards. 3 go 'rounds, and best overall score wins. Pigs must fall to count for score.
Perfect score was 15
In the event of a tie we would go to a "Pork Off" otherwise known as a head to head shootout
