By the way Frank, you are still wonderful. Just thought someone should coddle your feelings, but that's all I am coddling
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

The next match is this coming weekend , the weather looks to be partly cloudy and high 60's so far .
Come out and shoot there is a rumor that the mighty midget may put in an appearence .
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

There's also the Oasis Motel and restaurant. I've stayed there a couple times. Probably a step down from Zak's recommendations, but it suited me.
Regret I will not be able to attend this match (doc's orders). You all hold hard and good luck. Send pics.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

Can't wait to meet you guys. I took my main rifle in to have some machine work done on Monday. The next day I read about this match. I was bummed at first but then I decided to throw my long range varmint gun into tactical mode so I will see you guys there.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

I'm on the fence at this point, I don't have any ammo here for my 7WSM, and I'm not sure I want to go at it with a 308, but we'll see I have some options and I'm supposed to hit the range on Friday, so I maybe able to put something together I feel comfortable with.

You never know

you guys scare me, I may have to stay home and shoot it via simulation on the internet.

Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

I just checked, we have tickets to the Opera, or something Saturday Night. I thought they were for Friday, but those are for the 18th... So I'm no driving down at O Dark 30...

July and Aug are the only ones were my schedule looks open at this point.

Kind of bummed.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

ColoWyo , we all usually stay at the Robin Hood . The plan right now is the people helping with set up are going to meet at the gate at 1 pm on sat. and then after set up we will open the gate back up and can start shooting on the site in range at 3 .

LL , You have plenty of time to sleep when Your dead , I'll pat Your head for You and make sure Geo. gives You a reach around this time .
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

I had composed a post that said all the fags stayed at the Robin Hood but thought wiser and did not post it. Looks like it would have been appropriate after all. Chuck is clearly out of the closet, or at least arranging trysts for others, in hope of getting an invite.

No wonder y'all seem so relaxed at 7 am on a Sunday morning.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

9H,

Is lighting up fellow competitors part of your secret pre-match psy-ops strategy?
If so, I'm on to you

You all have fun at the match, whatever that entails. (Although I'm no longer sure I want to see the pictures)
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

9H , pimpin ain't the same as doin the deed .

ColoWyo , Shooting on sat. afternoon is always better than trying to do it in the 45 min before the match . If You don't make it by 1 we swing by the gate when we are 1/2 way through set up and let any body there in and after set up its open again . We can shoot from 3 - 5 sat afternoon with targets from 240 to 980 , all steel .

Damn my luck.

Oh well. Any day you don't wake up face down in a gutter is a good day.
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

No wind would be nice , both NOAA and The Weather Chanel sowed 10 - 20 mph . There weathermen though and they are about as trustworthy as politicians
 
Re: Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM
