Looks like, since there are some discrepancies about the rules, we will have to go 'all the way to the top', for clarification. Yep, we're going 'straight to the top', not going to fool around with any of the pions. Gonna ask Mrs Barbara to be the moderator and make a ruling. I keep forgetting to tell y'all, Mrs. Barbara said that she would be proud to be the Moderator, but that y'all have to keep in mind that she has whips AND spurs and knows how to use them.    Ed

Ed Will that make her a Moderator or a Regulator??? East Texas?? Feud between old codgers?? Am I missing something dangerous in here? Should I stay away or bring my kids to see history replayed by those who participated in its making?  BAM!

Bring the kids, Pablo! I've never seen two grown(?) men shooting at each other with slingshots and ping pong balls, so it's going to be a new experience for me, too. Mrs. Barbara is Moderator, Regulator, and Empress Of The Known Universe (on some subjects). Ed

We brainstormed and decided we should get a remote controlled car, mount a target holder on it, and use it for our charging dangerous game shoot. Now, survivability of the vehicle may be problematic, is the only concern I have...Have we started a list yet of who's bringing what? We have not. First, here is a list of those who have said that they are most likely attending (in no particular order except how my brain sifted them out); Milespatton RIO7 Oldman03 & Boss 'Bout Half Cocked ldholton gunner500 Texczech & Kelley DLALLDER & Wife Wtxj dennisinaz Kristy80 & family Velvet Tines & Co tex n cal labarr curdog4570 & Peggy kaywoodie Sponxx & Family TDD4570 OSUSig Seafire Birdwatcher My daughter, Heather, & grandson, Hunter There are a couple of more "tentatives" who won't know until 48-72 hours before the weekend if they are coming. Next post will be the menu items and who we have (so far) bringing what. Ed

Ed is the pd shoot any gun and how far? 200 yards, one shot, cold bore, your choice of rifle, sights, caliber, and shooting position. Most shoot from a benchrest. Closest shot to the center of the orange dot on the PD silhouette wins. Ties will be decided by a shoot-off. Ed

Thanks Ed. I must have missed it through the pages.
By the way,I haven't been able to put the gift you gave me last year to use. Maybe somebody at the gathering could use it. I'll bring it and see. Oh it's Kevin and Terri.
Have you decided what needs to be brought?

You ain't that far from here. I'll just kidnap you and demand a ransom. We can split it. Ed

Can I please beg the timing rather than sort my way through the thread. I am home on Sunday retired with nary a thought... Middle boy is schooling in Tyler so a combo trip is perfect.

It's that time again! We've all forgotten about the miserable weather from last year and pray for a bit warmer weather this year! We are looking to have the Gathering at our place again, just west of the big city of Gilmer, TX, but a bit later in April due to scheduling conflicts here. Looks like the Friday, Saturday, Sunday, April 24, 25, and 26 will be the dates. I am hoping that everyone who was here last year can make it again and those who couldn't make it, will be able to join us! There will be eating, drinking, lie telling, singing (if I can get curdog4570 to bring his guitar ) rifle, handgun, and shotgun shooting, bullshooting (different from lying  ), fishing, archery, and a snipe hunt. We can shoot out to 350 yards and will have several shooting contests set up. The Prairie Dog Shoot will be featured, any rifle, any caliber, any sights or optics, any position, one shot, cold bore at a 1/2" orange dot on a life-size silhouette of a prairie dog at 200 yards. Closest to the center of the dot wins. Ties will be decided by a shoot-off. Last year, we had planned on a military rifle shoot, traditional archery shoot, an Elk Shoot, and a pistol duel (using a dueling tree, not each other! )but we got weathered out. Those are options again as well as any other suggestions y'all might have. Oh, we HAVE to have a BPCR shoot! ( I think I'll drop a hammer on sharpsguy's hands a couple of times to handicap him. Accidently, of course. ) Kids are welcome as this is a family affair. There is plenty of camping spots available, a couple of beds inside the "Barn House", and hotels in Gilmer, roughly 15 miles away if that's your idea of "roughing it". I expect most folks to come in on Friday, the 24th, and most folks stay until Sunday afternoon. Once we have an idea of how many folks can come, we will start looking seriously at the menus and accoutrements. We had a great time last year and I think this year will be even better! I hope y'all can make it! Ed Here you go ED #2 Welcome home
