Hopefully, this year won't be cold and raining like last year. Well that did tend to bring us closer together.  miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I used one of those tent cot deals. Leaked so I put a 10x 12 plastic tarp over it to keep out what rain I could. Worked so well that the cook for breakfast was late to get up. I slept fine.
Ed's place is set up with a bathroom outdoors in a building. He also rented a blue bathroom out in a parking area where many set up tents.
Ed has a neat home/land set up in the pine trees. Small lake and one big pasture for the shooting with a hill as the backstop.

My door is generally open so you're welcome to step in.
Will the trailers and campers be set up at the site or do they need to be at an rv park? There are a number of places to set up a trailer/camper at our place and not be jammed in, side-by-side. We looked like an RV park last year. Ed Thanks Ed.

What type of shooting contests so we want this year, other than the Prairie Dog Shoot?
Military Rifle Shoot? BPCR? Long range (200 yards) .22lr shoot?

Well on the PDS I would like each person to shoot their own rifle only. Military sounds good, except Bob would win that one.
How about a Sharps at 200 shoot off. 8" steel, hit it you get to continue. Pistol at 100 yards, min. bore of 41 and up.
None I can win but it will be fun watching. Yes and shooting.

None I can win but it will be fun watching. Yes and shooting. Thanks, Gordon! 200 yards at an 8" gong with barrel sights on a Sharps is a chip shot. I know of several Shiloh Sharps that will be there and all are 1/2 moa guns. Gonna have to come up with something that is more challenging. As to the PDS, the fellow who took 3rd place last spring did so with a borrowed rifle because he didn't have one, so I'm kinda leaning towards allowing folks to borrow one. We can put a little "group-loosening solvent" in Bob's coffee to help there, but if Blue shows up, I ain't gonna be the one to doctor his coffee! As to the pistol shooting, Paladin, curdog4570, Blue, and a couple of others would make us move it out to 200 yards + just to keep it sporting! Them boys can shoot! If we do have a military rifle shoot, we need some guidance such as any era, any sights, any caliber, and course of fire. What say you guys? We need some help here! Ed

I think I've got a Krag Jorgenson or two laying around here for an army gun shoot.
Or a 1903
I just gotta get there. Wifey is starting at the physical therapy hospital Monday. Woohoo!! But I still have mom to deal with too.

Still praying here, Bob. I sure hope you can make it. I have a sporterized 1917 Eddystone that only has barrel sights. That and an AR15 are my only "military" rifles. I don't think my Contender Carbine in .30-40 Krag would qualify. Ed

But I really wanna drag my two '95's out of I'm able to make it. And maybe my old Win 54 and this cool old Mauser sporter I have. I haven't had the opportunity with all the current stuff going on to shoot them as much as I would like.

lessee, pistol at 200 yards, min .41 caliber..scopes okay? I do have a pretty cool old sporterized 03A3. Hopefully the bulge in the barrel will hold for a few more shots... anyone know anything about K31 Swiss rifles? The local Gander mtn has some for $399. I've heard they are very well made but have never messed with one

And I guess a Mk12 Daniel Defense wouldn't qualify as "military" would it?

Patrick,
I have a K31. It is one of the best shooting rifles I've ever fired!!! I just don't shoot it much. Have a decent supply of that GP100 Swiss ammo laid in. I suppose I have it for a "rainy day", so to speak.

Nice looking trailer. Not the one I looked at on their web page.

The graphics on the 2015 models has changed quite a bit. It's a nice trailer, perfect for 2 people. I dragged it to WY last fall on my mule deer/pronghorn hunt. It worked very well.

I've heard they are very well made but have never messed with one No scopes on pistols. Iron sights or nothin', buddy! There is a K31 match held locally every spring and folks come from all over to shoot in it. Seems they are very accurate and there's a lot of reloading and casting information out there for them. Ed
