Don't forget that Chinquapin SV will have its Fall Match on the last Friday and Saturday of the month (the 25th and 26th.)  Anyone on our mailing list who does not get an e-mail in the next day or two should contact me directly and I will resend.  Remember, you must be present to attend!

Charlie,

While this summer has been pure hell, I am trying to be there! Warning now though, if wife has ANY fever before I leave I am not coming, no offense!

Very much looking forward to it.

Well, it's getting closer!  I was at the BMC grounds today checking out the range and the facilities.  We have our cardboard backers about ready, the 200 yard frames are good to go, and the 100 yd frames should be ready by noon on Wednesday.  MACShooter will be bush hogging the grass on Wednesday as well so it all looks manicured for you shooters.

As with last Fall, we will be eating lunch Saturday with the 4-H clay shooters who are having their tournament that day on the same grounds, and we have arranged for home made Brunswick Stew as the basis for lunch on Friday, so the eating part of the event should be good for all.

MACShooter just left here after casting up a bunch of 321323 bullets on one of my old moulds and I talked tonight to a new shooter from NC who is going to make the trek up Rt 29.  I heard from a couple of other definites and some strong probablys, so things are looking pretty good right now for a good turnout.  Y'all come!

Froggie 

Correction - He was using a321232 mould (also from my collection) to mould bullets to shoot in fixed ammo from his .32-40 custom Japanese low-wall.  It's a great all-round bullet design for the .32-40 that I have used occasionally breech seated but which is at its best as a fixed round.

I'll be there bright and owl-ey Saturday.
With tin.
Might have even sighted in a rifle beforehand.
Busy is ok when considering the alternatives, but ....

Looks like we're shaping up to have a nice little group there!    I've now got about 10 pretty solid positives.  C-W, will Dale be able to make it from the far Western Territories with you this time?  40-Rod, I'm hoping to have a couple of short prod/rev articles on a disc for you by then.   

Still room for a few more shooters... y'all come!

MACShooter and I spent most of the day at the range today.  He spent most of his time on the tractor making the grass look good, and I cleaned up shooters' debris and set a few posts for the 100 yard backers.  All that's left is to staple up cardboard and put on some targets (these to occur Friday AM) and start shooting!  Looks like it's going to be a little damp... good thing we have covered firing points.  Come On Down!!  Wink

Charlie -

WE are planning to be there about 0800 Saturday.

I will be bringing not only TIN but 10-12 pounds of CHESTNUTS.  Not chinquapins, but closely related.
