Im still in
Guys with old age we have been travelling much more. Every time there was a meeting I was never here. I too would like to make it and meet and shoot with you guys. If I miss this one I will never discuss another, but I do like travelling. Alaska last year was fantastic. Seeing grizzlies up close is wonderful. I am glad that we went. That is why I started this discussion in May but please notice that May is over and I do not even have the slightest idea how many would even like to come.
I would definitely like to come.
looks like 2 so far
I have been refraining from saying that, so far.
Greg wanted in also.
Kirby why has HE not said so? So far we are still at Dantobin and I.
Look at May 18th this thread, the way I understand it he wants in:
"264 RLB"
The Original RLB
"So what is the status of this? Any plans in the making? I need a reason to get my load bench built..."
That sounds like "I want in" to me.
And just to be clear I WANT IN! Only time I can't come is last week and a half maybe two weeks of July and first few days of August.
Just curious, would you like me to invite or you invite folks from that other BBS?
Thanks for the offer but I really wanted to meet the people I know already, and have known for years in some cases. Where have you seen that post from Greg?
j1, it is in this thread 2nd post from the bottom...May 18th.

Dantobin
Add your name to the list if you want to come, please.
Kirbydoc do you intend coming? So far it is Dantobin and me. Not playing games saying that I would like to go is different from saying what day in July is good for you? I make this list as two, including me. Heck we do not need much planning. Two can shoot off my shooting bench simultaneously. If any have good memories I last shot with a chap named "chuckslayer" on Gregs old board. Now that was a lot of years ago. He brought his 22 250 and I shot my 223 and we shot simultaneously. Had a nice day shooting.
let me know what weekend works for you. im less the 2 hrs away
The less advance notice we need the better our control over the weather. My 223 will probably be my main gun. That sucka used to really burn holes off the bench.
I usally have every other weekend off if i know a week ahead i can switch weekends
I will come pretty much any time except last two weeks or so of July or first week of August. Any other time is good. :D
Now how do we communicate? I have been told not to place my phone number on the internet.
I am ready almost any day except Wednesdays hopefully when the sun is shining. Remember someday never comes.
Skykid this is especially for you. Last year I had quintuple bypass heart surgery. While rubbing cream into the big scar on my chest I told my honey
"I think it is someday" and she did not say a single word. She just booked our Alaska cruise tour. We always used to say that we were going "someday". We made someday happen and that is just how life is. If you do not make it happen it never happens.
j1, I will send you mine then you call me on the phone you want me to have. (Assuming the caller ID is unblocked.)

I hear ya
This summer I got to go visit my Mom
She will be 90 and I haven't seen her in 2 years
Sometime you got to prioritize the time you have available
Amen Sky meaning I hear ya. I guess I hear you is not how to say it. I understand might be better.

You have a private message from me.
I would be in for a meet up and shoot. I am in Pittsburgh and also in school so i am kind of lacking in time i will have Saturday classes until i graduate in December.

Kirbydoc I just got your message. Glad one of us is computer literate. June is mostly gone. July Aug or September are months with nice weather. Pick one please and we will go from there. When the time gets closer we can talk by phone. Are any others coming? What day of the week? What guns? Talk to me, please in writing so far.

lets aim for a weekend i cant get there on a weekday in time to shoot. Im fine with most any weekend
Well we are up to three. Any weekend is fine with me since I am retired. I have to visit that Pa Game Commission range and see if there is a roof over the 100 and 200 yard firing points. Rain is otherwise the pitts. If we all look at a weather forecast the night before could we all just say how about tomorrow (Saterday?). Works for me of course. I live here. I have some steel plates at 100 and 150 if you shoot from the bench. Naturally we could staple paper targets at the target frames also. Two shooters can shoot off the bench simultaneously.
I would like to do this either August 30th or Sept 6th. Is there a place to put a <somewhat large> tent?
Kirby you have a tent site reserved as soon as we pick it. No problem. Starting to sound like fun. I have not gone camping much since my second marriage. Get the idea my wife does not like camping much?
Kirby I admire your ability to post pics here. There is no problem setting up your tent here. Having been in the army I am familiar with outdoor pit privies so all we have to do is pitch your tent where you have some privacy. Nice to solve problems so easily. You are welcome here.
One of the previous RLB fest attendees will probably pipe up and tell all that TENTZILLA is a BIT bigger than that.Actually it looks like this only bigger.

I figured if I use their tent/image I should post a link.
If that sucka were any bigger it might need it's own zip code. This is out in the boonies.
You could use this lil one for a doghouse.

Have we got a date set yet? I need to ask for time off pretty soon...
Well it seems that we are going with Aug 30. I look forward to it. If you have a 10 22 bring it. Any other 22 will work though. I love ringing the plates. Gotta shoot more than I have been. Really. Played golf with my honey, walking nine holes yesterday. Really beautiful day here. Gotta mow today as soon as the dew is off the lawns.
August 30th it is. Can you send directions and address to my email please?
see ya there
Are we going to rough it and cook on a grill, my gas grill or hit the local diner, which is 3 1/2 miles away, in town. Good food and cheap. I can't cook it if my honey does not buy it. Hamburgers, hotdogs and beans could do it for me unless somene brings woodchuck cutlets.
I'll bring some Bahama Mamas if I can find 'em. They're great on a grill. Once to the diner at least. I like diners.
Being retired I will be here. With tents there is nothing limiting the length of this shoot to one day. I have a gas grill and a picnic table on the porch. (porch means under roof). The diner makes a GREAT BREAKFAST.
