We had a great time as always. The turnout was great this year, but unfortunately that meant there was less etoufee left over for us to bring home. I had a lot of fun shooting with everyone, even though Taz's 45-70 loads left a nice bruise on my shoulder. Thanks to everyone that made this happen again. It wasn't quite the same without Piper, but it was still a great time. I can't wait until next year!

Hi,

The pictures we've seen so far look like everybody had a wonderful time!

I'm especially happy that Taz caught WJ finally finding a beer--didn't want Jim raggin' on me for the whole next year that he didn't get one! :D

Hope to figure out how to get there for F-4 to meet y'all in person, too.

Rick, there are about 75 other pictures of WJ finding a beer. He complained all weekend that the beer was too "high end" but he still managed to choke it down. Thank you again for your generous contribution. Everyone really appreciated it, but of course they always appreciate free beer.

When Cholo gets home, he'll post a special photo he took in honor of Piper, with your bottle of port as one of the props.

Now, where's our beer money for next weekend?
:lol: :lol:

Have arrived home after a weekend of true relaxation. So looking forward to next year's event.

So many great people there, to shoot, to prepare the food, to ice the beer, drink the beer, tell fascinating stories, (there is another term for it but I shall not refer to it right now), meeting new members and renewing old bonds.

I pray everyone has made it home safely.

I cannot adequately express how much fun I have experienced with all there and how much I would love to see many more there next year.

Y'all take care.

What a great time it was, and a great bunch of guys and gals! The BS and stories were flowing like Niagara Falls in the wet season. Thanks for the beer Rick! We went thru it faster than a bad Tijuana burrito 10 minutes after dropping it down your neck. We were still pretty thirsty when Ruger Randy pulled out his stash of Lone Star. Thanks!

A very special thanks to Hank, Susie, and all the ladies who spent hours of their time preparing for the big meal and then making it happen! And the men simply show up tired and hungry after a long hard day of shooting both guns and other stuff, only to scarf almost all of it down in 30 minutes or less. A BIG thumbs up!

We saved that one big rock for next year. We hurt it good, but it whipped us...till next time :wink:

This thread is so long that alot won't even attempt a read. Hope y'all don't mind. Thanks for a great time and letting my folks join in. It was a very nice thing. Love.

Rick: I apologize, I could only drink two of your beers. My parents were there, it's awfully hard to drink when your mom is watching you, LOL. Really I had alot of fun with them. Mom's always worry that you are drinking too much...

He gets the same edge when he reaches for a beer too.

Just made me depressed I didn't get to go. Maybe next year. Sure thought I heard a lot of gunfire from way over here. Maybe it was just you guys--
I gotta tell the wife that she doesn't get to plan the family vacation next year.

I LOVE the pictures! On that sequence of pictures of the town I think I see the exact parking spot of an un-named member who locked the keys in the truck back in 2010 :lol: :lol:
