Interest in doing a shoot in NW USA?

[matt85]

@channelkat @Doug Hamilton

The guns I plan on bringing are close range critters. At least in my case, 50-75 yards will be plenty. Is there a particular month and time frame that works for both of you?

Any time in May and most of June works. Shoot me a PM. Sounds like fun.

Wide for the foreseeable future!

That's a shame, but I can understand.

That is to bad, it looked to be a great shoot

I haven't forgotten about this, just not sure on an exact date. Planning for June or July for more reliable weather.

Thank you Matt
Appreciate you taking this on.

Alright, sorry for going quiet for a while, I've been busy.

How does meeting up at the Everett Sportsman around 1pm on 7-13-24 sound?

 

[channelkat]

I can make that work! Thank you Matt

I invited a buddy who has hunted Africa and a co-worker who who likes Safari rifles. If @Doug Hamilton comes, the we may have up to 5 of us.

Not sure what everyone plans to bring, but I will bring a couple dangerous game rifles. My buddy will also bring his DG rifle and perhaps some other interesting hunting guns.

Think it'll work.

I'm thinking my two Whitworth rifles in .458 WM and .300 WM. I took them to Zim in '22.

Sadly, I don’t have any cool rifles. I told my wife that we needed to invest in a proper double or similar interesting rifle, so that I can contribute. She didn’t say no, but judging by her expression, I’m guessing I’m not gonna bring anything but a boring model 70.

Nothing wrong with a model 70!

The trick is to buy the lady a gift at the same time you buy the double. Example: "Here is that thing you always wanted! Oh and I also picked up something for myself.". There will still be fallout... But it should reduce it.

There have been some great deals in the classifieds!

The CRF Model 70 is one, or maybe two, of histories great hunting rifles. I even killed a lot of animals including African PG with my old PF .30-06 M 70.

Called the range today and let them know we were coming. Also confirmed it was ok to shoot off sticks.

I'm planning on being there.
