Title: Duluth - Oct. 2-3, 2010
Post by: dstates on September 17, 2010, 04:18:38 PM
I'm signed up and ready to go.  Who's with me?

I made it to just a Saturday in Hinckley in June and was disappointed I couldn't stay for Sunday.  I also just got myself a better sling, that should help, right?  :)

I'll be the guy working hard w/ the lever action...

I'll most likely get a hotel room myself.  We'll see what the weather does though...

Well, a camping test run was performed in Hinckley this weekend. I woke up to a cool 32F. I can say that I personally witnessed AFTERMATH claw his was out of a frozen tent. I will be in Duluth, camping, prepping for the rapidly approaching winterseed. I will provide at the minimum a warm fire to anyone who can dare test there winter wears.++)

See you this weekend.

 After checking the instructor to student ratio I have decided not to sign up for Duluth. 5 Instructors and 7 shooters. Should the number of shooters balloon I would magically appear to lend a hand. As it is, for now, the only way I would show up is to get trigger time on Sunday. That's also if Mrs. B would detour from a fall color tour to go over for a few hours to the range so her hubby could get in some much needed practice. (tough sell)

I know it's been a while, but does anyone have a picture of my getting my rifleman patch on this day in Duluth?  I'm thinking it was Russel that took the picture, but I'm not sure.  I checked the AAR and it wasn't there.  (I was the guy in the blue vest).

Thanks,
Doug

How could we be missing the picture!  Arghh! 
So, Alice, Russell, Chris - Did any of you get that picture? 
(I know it couldn't have been me- My camera was in a coma at the time.)

We'll see what we can do....  Worst comes to worst, photo-shop?  ++)
Or perhaps a repeat? ::)

psst... Possible photo-holdouts; This was Lever-Action Doug, to refresh your memories. ;)

Sorry its the one Duluth event I could not attend and no pix of it :o  Russell might have them on that big computer of his?

Arghhh....  That's right...  Guess it's up to Russell or the Levins.... 
Wait, perhaps Adam got one on his phone.

I checked through the Photobucket archive with no luck.  I will dig up my old phone and see if there is a picture that missed the upload.

No problem if you don't find it...  I think I remember it being Russel's brother taking the picture.  Could I be remembering that right?

I hope you don't mind me doing a little promotion here but I wanted invite all my friends from Minnesota to take a look at all the new places in Northwest Wisconsin that are signed up to have Appleseeds
                                                    Colfax
                                                    Chippewa Falls
                                                     Menomonie
                                                     Boyceville

I'll get a hold of three, to see if he has it.

just talked to three, looks like we MIGHT have it.  Dstates, I'm sorry, it's been awhile and I can't put a face to your name.   :wb:  He's got a few pics from that shoot though.  Aftermath, can you send him a PM with instructions for uploading to the photobucket account???

no problem... like I said, don't spend to much time on it.  I've got the patch, that is what counts  :)

We can always stage another one....

Let's see, if I remember right; we woke up to frost and spent the morning in some drizzle....  The Hinckley shoot in May will likely have the same conditions. ..:..
