Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire August Campfire gathering in New Mexico

What he said!

Ed

Allen [AHF] got the "how are you" e-mail my computer sent out. Looks like he's probably gonna be at the gatherin'.

That will mean 2 more K Hornets added to the motley assemblage already threatened to be in attendance.

I had both of mine replace In Jan. of 2011. Getting them both done at the same time was tough. Literally didn't have a good leg to stand on. Five days in the hospital, and I hate hospitals.

Howdy u-all, got home from Neb. P-dog shoot last night, long drive from Neb. to S.Tex. stopped in Colo. for campfire get together, got to meet some great guys and eat some good food and hear some good storys and do a little shooting, then on to Neb. for 3 days of P-dog shooting, had a great time, mon-teu. the shooting was great wend. the wind was blowing about 40mph, made for some intresting shots. heard a rumor all the way up there that there are some guys drooling over my Hepburn,dont want to hurt anyones feelings but ( you cant have it.) i did shoot 2 p-dogs with it at under 100 yrds, its going to take me till aug. to reload all the stuff i shot up, so i can get in some of these shooting contests youall have dreamed up. looking forward to seeing old friends and making new friends in N,M, this year.rio7

Never got tired of
� Carol Anne
� three wonderful kids
� shooting prairie dogs
� chewing the fat with friends
so there's no question what are the four emptiest parts of my heart.

Really looking forward to 9�11 August!

A question came up on a different thread, that had me pulling a single shot out of the back of the safe. As I stood it up to look at it, I not only admired the lines, but also considered, 20+ years after I got my first deer with it, that it may still be the most accurate rifle in the safe. It might have to acquire a scope, and might get entered in the Prairie Dog shoot...

I have one you can put on it. I'll bring it and you can mount it Saturday morning. No need to sight it in. It was sighted in on the last rifle it was on, just before the truck rolled and the rifle was ejected onto the pavement.

Just trying to give you an even chance at winning the P.D. Shoot.

Ed,with friends like you,who needs enemies.

I intend to win the Pdog shoot this year if Blue will not twist his scope knobs right before he hands me his rifle. miles

I'm just trying for a repeat.

As my tactical instructor used to say; "Always cheat, always win! There's no such thing as a fair fight."

I guess I'll have to cheat and use that .30-40 Krag Contender Carbine again.


Ed

So if a worm or a spider happened to fall on the back of your neck remember these words "Always cheat,always win."

Miles, just so long as he's twisting his own knobs, it's OK. A man should never twist another man's knobs.

Ed

If you should find yourself duct taped to a tree and covered in bacon grease and honey, remember those words.


Worms and spiders don't bother me. People shooting back do.

Ed

Schit that's foreplay for me.

OK. While you and your bride are playing, I'll be winning the P.D. Shoot.

Ed

But that is OUR celebration of ME winning the PD shoot.

It will so sad to see both of you crying when I win it with the mighty K-hornet.

Gotta warn ya folks that when you get done shootin the long sticks I plan on having a matched set of pistolas ready for the handgun contests.

WOW! Are they consecutively serial numbered? Do they come with matching leather gear? What kind of velocity are you getting with WalMart ping pong balls? Will running a name-brand ball help with accuracy? Is there much recoil? Are they DynaBore coated? Are you running iron sights or are you going to put optics on them? Does Barnes make a TTSX in that caliber?

Is it time for me to switch to decaf?

Seriously, there are some GREAT pistol shooters that show up to these.

Ed

NOOOOOOO!!
