I'll bring some smaller steel targets for a bit more of a challenge, 8" and 6".

Interested,
will know when closer, like a few weeks before.
If so, I will bring the big tent, wood stove and oven.
There is room in the big tent anyone need a place to toss their bunk.
Again with a big pot of slow-cooked wood-stove chili.
I got a couple new things to try.
28 cup stainless coffee pot, and will build a tripod for it to hang it in the fire.
I would like to try out a new back country communication system. I couldn't imagine better help with that, if I may ask?
Visiting a lot of scrapyards, I will watch for some boiler plate, something else to put way out there to shoot at.
Starting my list now, it sure was a lot of fun in 13 !
Clinging to my God, and my guns!

Updated for K_Salonek.
We missed you last year Kevin. Hope you can make this year's gathering. I'm planning on bringing my GP small tent as well.

I've got an idea for a fun range game for this year's gathering. I've got a bag full of old bowling pins. We'll hang 5 pins on a rail at 300-yards, spaced a couple feet apart. Everyone gets 5 shots at a hanging bowling pin. Most hits wins a prize. Tie results in a shoot off. Sudden death- one shot at a time. Hit - you live. Miss- your opponent gets a chance to put you out by shooting your pin. ![[Linked Image]](http://faroutguns.com/faroutguns/photos/gongs/PinSetterComplete_2013-05-04.jpg)

I like it. A little wind could make it challenging.

Yeah - if it's real windy, we could always adjust the range distance.

Sounds fun, will this be off-hand shooting? Or off a wobbly portable bench?

I'll need all the support I can get. I might make KC shoot off-hand since he won the prairie dog shoot last year...
But seriously -- 300 yards at a 6-inch wide target - I'm thinking bipods, wobbly tables, shooting sticks - whatever you want.

My range is too short to get a 300 yard zero. I'll have to set for 200 meters and try to shoot a bit high. (getting my excuse ready)

Here ya go Tracks. Personally, I find the "I dropped my rifle on my way to the gathering" a good one... ![[Linked Image]](http://vadaszportal.hellovadasz.eu/upload/images/minox67.jpg)

I think the dates mentioned for this gathering are the same as the Quemado gathering.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
