Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Noxen, Pennsylvania beckons

Hard act to follow. This year's encore?

I'll be making the same shot.

From Oregon.

Maybe a "One Shot, Winner Take All" competition? Everybody puts in a buck.

Oh I like that. best shot wins. Put up or shut up!

Or winner gets waited on for the entire evening. Drinks, best cut of meat off the grill, baked potato with al the trimmings, fresh salad with them little cherry tamotas, the works.

And a T-shirt that pronounces him "The Best Shot in Noxen, Pa!"

...You guys stumbled right back into the deplorable trough, lucky for you it wasn't too far to fall

But the rest of the BS-ery is sounding pretty inviting! Sign me up for the mail-in best single shot target competition!

Sorry JeffG, Gary was referring to JeffB. But, with close friends it's all good. There's room in my truck, and it's a Queen size bed, all three will fit.

Your truck is a queen-size bed? Threesomes in an F-150? You guys go on ahead, I'll meet you up there.

Seriously though. This Rendezvous is geared toward the Savage gun, involves perusing/fondling (calm down, Joe)/shooting/discussing of same, all under very informal circumstances. Scholarly debates there are as common as non-PC joke telling.

A Fest it isn't and was never meant to be. Better? No. As good as? Yes, in its own way. Friendship and male bonding over a common interest at its best.

Non-Savage guns find their way there too. I usually take as many other guns as I do Savages- it's all good. And where else would you go and fondle a superb rather rare Savage and then put a magazine full of cartridges through it an hour later, be it a 99, 1903, or 23?

Roy's bullet hole kinda looks like the bullet was tumbling when it hit the target.

I whipped the gun at the last moment to increase the contact surface on target.

How about back to target gun over shoulder looking in a mirror?

Or too easy Roy?

I’m hoping there will be pictures posted of this shindig, you know, for the rest of us voyeurs. just keep it family friendly.

Although that hole does bear a strong resemblance to the contour of the cap to a BIC pen, including the little pocket hanger tab, as an eye witness to the feat, I can attest that one was not used.

I've asked a number of times how many rounds went through that hole but it seems to be a deep, dark secret. Was it more than 1??

It was only one. It was tumbling

you left out pos

Only 1 round. I was there also. In fact, I was the spotter on, " the shot heard round the campground." It took a couple of rounds to walk that one in there, but not many. Damn fine shot, that Roy Manbeck.

Too bad we all witnessed it. Perfect opportunity to conjure up a Campfire 5 Shot One Hole Group.

I would drag brother LOGGAH out but hard to get him out of town .And i'm not sleeping with him in the back of my pickup !!! and would love to get in on a shoot off . 5 shot group might be better
