Here's Otto's pictures from the shoot. They are posted so late because after the shoot Otto and his bride drove north Alaska and have only just got home. Otto's slide show

Thanks for asking. I think it is sold out unless Ray Riling books has any left over. Douglas, my wife just got back from Moab, Utah. She enjoyed being out west so much that maybe I can talk her into a trip to your next match along with a visit to Glacier N.P.

Thanks for posting the Provincial results Douglas.
Seeing how the old guns fare is always interesting!

I think you are right about having a breathing space between shoots, yet your original reasoning wasn't flawed either.

It looks a long walk to a shade tree down there!!..............but you have more grass than us, we are still Dry.

Hopefully more would be able to attend next year.

All the best,

R.

Sandy Hook Long Range???!!!! I had a hard enough time hitting the 200 yard Target on Sunday.

Re: 2009 Victorian Rifleman Playday--Montana

feeds@yuku.com (Viclav) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:42:02 GMT

Looks to have been a good time in any event. I'm amazed by the wide open spaces out there. You guys could have done a second Sandy Hook long range trial.

Douglas:

Congratulations, and heartfelt thanks, for an excellent shoot, affording such an enjoyable get-together with like-minded folk!

As may be evident from the photo of the opening Volley, Gary D and I were a little too "laid back" that morning, not arriving on site until about 10:00 AM, and thus missing that event and the subsequent opportunity to sight in our rifles.......

That certainly showed in my own dismal performance in the Provincial and the...

I am very much looking forward to this! I just have to meet the wife's weekend goals by tomorrow morning to keep the missus happy. The passport thing isn't a big issue, I just have to go in and fill out a couple of papers, but we'll be dong that with the firearms anyway. I'm a bit saddened that I my LEC misses the antique cut-off by a year, but the M-H (pending how much ammo I can swipe) and the MLE (no ammo issues here, I've got 100 or so rounds of .303 in the cupboard)...

Just got off the phone with Gary from Maple Creek, and he is coming along with me to your shoot!

We'll be departing from Medicine Hat...
