Well, I'm back.  It was pretty cool, but it would have been cooler if they'd had a sign up and we hadn't gone 10 miles past, then stopped two places in bfe to get directions  :shake: 

Hot setups... an older gentleman came up and started talking to us just after we got there and said most people were using 6mm in one variant or another.  He went over a lot of the calibers people used, and I can tell you most of them ended in "ackley"  :gap:  He said they no longer allowed the .416 higby... rigby... :headscratch: whichever one is a necked down 50bmg.  They use a solid copper bullet, and there are guys in bunkers behind the targets and they can get showered with hot little copper bits  :ack:

I was kinda stoked that there was a guy there who has some remington 788's set up with bull barrels, but I couldn't remember who he said it was, and I didn't know where he got off to when we were ready to leave.

I got some pics, lemme see what I can do...
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
