Here’s my photo dump. From my flight in to our unpacking. It was a good time to be had by all. 

@sheppand @sketch, you guy we’re talked about all weekend. We really missed you guys.

@Rsquaredwe talked about you too, but it wasn’t anything nice, and it was mostly when we missed Kate

You should have come for the fireside chat last night.  It was epic.  I can't remember laughing that much in a long time.  I don't remember much of the conversation except being called an a$$hole multiple times by @98Z5V and @Matt.Cross.  I remember it being a well earned descriptor.

I don't know what happened to me...  On a scale of 1 to 10, I can find 11 easily.  FML if I didn't stumble right onto 12 on Saturday night...   :lmao::banana:

My voice still isn't back yet...   :laffs:

Missed you guys too! I shoulda knocked off a back while I was out west

Small story time.  I have to type it out, because I have no voice (worth a damn) right now...  

Thursday, we got out there with sunlight, and started setting up.  Patrol Base Priorities of Work were : get the 450 set, get something else set, get the firepit dug out.  Loosely organize the location of the firing line.  Done, done, done, and done.  And somehow, @MikedaddyH puts his car and tent about 25 yards in front of the firing line, way right.  Nobody felt good about that, so we kinda had to talk to him, and show him other places that were equally as awesome as the prime terrain that he selected...   :laffs:

We busted a few caps, but by that time, it was already dark.  The easy setup was to just drag the .260 Rem out there, dial 2.3 mils for the 450, and cold bore smack that thing.  Put one round in the magazine, and took alot of shiit for it, too.  Turns out, that was all that was needed.  :banana:@jrtmasp did the exact same thing, single-round mag, and he hit it, too.  Well, Jay was the 3rd shooter.  See, the 2nd shooter was Greg.  He wanted 1 round, got one round, and I don't know what happened, but...   Jay followed him and hit it, so I know it's not the gun...   :lmao:

Okay, the original goal was to get @Moon Boots on a shooting mat with her 5.56 rifle, and show these guys where that oxy tank was at 609 yards - before we lost sunlight.  It went kinda long on the initial arrival, and we lost sunlight.  SO!...   She grabbed that rifle, a whole mag, got prone, and hit the 450.   Every single followup shot, too. BANG!  TING!   over and over, until she was outta quarters...  Rob, Greg and Jay were just looking at me, like...    :embarrassed:     I told you guys that she has some pretty serious solid fundamentals...    :laffs:   Dialed her own scope, too.   :thumbup:

 

Friday was a good day, and great night, with all the other locals making it to camp, setting up, and just having fun.  I threw a leg over DirtBike Tommy's KTM bike on Friday - and I couldn't stay off the thing all damn weekend.  That bike is straight up a Dirt Weapon. 

Saturday morning, right at sunrise, I hear "Pffft..."  I already know that's @JBMatt getting after the 1-mile target.  I get my ass outta bed, and go out there and check out progress.  He was after it EARLY.  There was direct sunlight on the target, but shade about half way there - the sun hadn't even crested the mounting to our east yet.  That half-sun, half-shade made for some very effed up wind changes, just due to the BOB (Big Orange Ball) heating up the ground out there.  It wasn't long before it did make it over the mountain, and we had direct sunlight on the ground all the way from shooting position, to the 1760.  Figured I better find the gun case that housed my Win Mag, then find the ammo can with it's ammo, and get 10 rounds ready to go up there.   Once the table cleared, I got my gun set up, loaded one mag, settled, and made a shot.  Matt was on the spotting scope, and Tommy was on binos.  My rifle settled, and I was pissed - couldn't even see any dirt kicked up.  Asked those guys if they saw any dirt splash, and...   Tommy says, "You just hit that thing..."   Matt looks and says, "You gotta get up and see this through the spotting scope..."   Sure enough, elevation was perfect, midway up and down on the plate, and the impact was about 3" left - perfect for the top of a liver...   :lmao:

It was the only time I shot my Win Mag the whole weekend.  1 round, I'm out.  I didn't even want to take another shot with it.  Instead, I was blown away.  I had a (loud) little mini-personal-celebration right there by the gun.  I couldn't believe it.  I switched and spotted for @JBMatt after that, and he hit that bastard 4 shots in a row.

Jay, Rob and Greg all went up there.  I know Jay smacked that thing a few times.  I'm pretty sure he hit it first-round, then missed one, then hit again.  I'll let these guys tell you about it.

Unreal weekend with good people.  There's more coming, too.   :thumbup:

Not many other pics to add but…

My two babies that did the job on distance 😉

Rob laying into the instructor role a bit too much.

Some more :hump: swing action.

…and Matt trying out the crane shot with his usual precision.

Great times. Happy to have been there this year.

It was great to see you again @jrtmasp.  I'm glad you made it.

I concur 100% with this post, Doc. I was so happy to see Jay again I almost cried... and maybe I might have, but not in public and I'm definitely NOT saying that I absolutely did.

 

Possibly.

To all of you that made it, I just want to let you know that I think you're fuggin cool.  I really enjoy spending this time with y'all.  It's pretty awesome that you made the effort and had the ability to make the trek.  To those that weren't able to make it, if you've been here, you know what you missed.  To those that haven't made it here yet, we'll do it again next year.  Start planning and get that liver in shape!

You were awesome @Moon Boots.  Tom did not adequately describe your awesomeness.  It was a pleasure to meet you and have you at the shoot.  I look forward to seeing you next year.

☺️Thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you and Susan too! The other guys were alright! 😆😉 Seriously, loved you all.

@Matt.Crossyou’re too kind, thank you.

 

Thanks to @Armed Eye Docfor letting me shoot such a great revolver and @98Z5Vfor that Kimber time too. More than just guns. 
 

I’ll work on getting a hard case and bringing a few of my own next time. Pretty sure I’m sold on getting a new Sig…among many many other things now 💸
