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...

What's the overnite plan for Duluth?    camping?

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? ::)

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.

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

                                                     Ashland
                                                     and coming soon,,,,,Rice Lake and maybe River Falls

              Many of these shoots are a close drive and we don't mind border jumpers here at all! O0

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???

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. ..:..
