That's very nice of you Bill but what I really need you to do is sell me either your 631 or 634 at what you paid for them....that would be a great help!

No problem Roald.  
I am about 7 miles south of I20 between Fort Worth and Weatherford.   Coming from Fort Worth you take the Aledo exit after I20 and I30 merge.  From Weatherford you take the FM 5 exit after 180 merges into I20.  Check out the mapquest link below and if you have any questions contact me at:

WhittTX@sbcglobal.net

Tables are provided but you will need to bring a chair and food/drink.  I will have two grills with side burners setup for use.  I am also encouraging bringing something to sell or trade to make it interesting, guns, scopes, etc.

Did a test shoot this morning with Bill and Chris.  They really liked the openness of the last shoot and the breeze under the big tree.  So I am sitting up two areas.  One will be under the pecan tree as last time but max shooting distance has increased about 10 yards since we will be shooting on a diagonal toward the corner of the lot.  The other area is under the trees in back where we were thinking of doing a field target area since it has multiple levels and is moderately treed.  Max distance for both areas is around 50 yards.  Plus is that now there will be no problem with crowding.  We had five tables last time so the open area will have at least 7 and another 3 in back so the shooting line has doubled in size.  Working on racks to store the guns now.

Will keep you updated, Ron

Roald,

I plan to use this opportunity to hand deliver my 850 to you for a tune.  That is if you have time for tunes right now.  And will have cash on hand!  Don't expect you to tune it on-the-spot!  Will make the drive up your way when it is done.  

Thanks,
Chris Rogenski

Hi Chris, it sounds like a plan. I have no idea what the schedule
as far as tunes and conversions will look like at that time, but I'll
get it in there no problem.
I'm looking forward to seeing all you guys again.
It's getting closer to the time and I'm not sure what I'll need to bring.
I am bringing a bag a charcoal for the grill and a bunch of cokes.... or water.
Two or three chairs and a small table that can be used for food... no good for
shooting from.... and meat for me to grill ;-) I'll see if John can make it
down to my place, if so I'll bring him too.

Is John a side dish or a main course?  You may need to bring 2 bags of charcoal if you plan on grilling him!  I'll bring the garnish! :p

P.S. Don't forget the tenderizer!

Heck I don't know... the man is pretty lean... most likely pretty chewy too.
I don't think any amount of tenderizer will fix it. :emoticon:
I know he's having problems with his truck right now so he might not make it.

Well we are down to less then two weeks folks!  Looks like the average temp is to be around a high of 82 and a low of 57.  Keep your fingers crossed on the rain.

And remember there will be a table setup for trading!

I have the following:
for sure:
NIB Umarex 1911 tactical, never fired, original owner
drozd, the yellow one....less then 500 rounds thru it (no steel bb's used) original owner
Webley hurricane good condition
CFX in 177 very good condition
couple of powder burners
Walther P-22 pistol original owner never fired, got it for the kids but no interest
S&W 57 41 mag blue with 4 inch barrel, shot less then 50 rounds, original owner purchased when lived in the Rockies to discourage unwanted guests when camping.  very good condition, comes with some ammo but its 20 years old :), this is a very nice gun.  Really in many ways better then the 44 in my opinion, just never got the love it deserved

maybes:
P1 with a chipped rear sight, otherwise very good
460 near NIB, less than 200 pellets thru it
other possible, need to do some digging

OK people you must have something to trade/sell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roald??    Would love to see one of your conversions with a nice wood stock!  Do you take discover card?

Paul??  How about those Turkish webleys?

Bill....you really want to sell the 634 to me!

Added to my list is a 717 in very good condition and still digging.

Also is anyone interested in shooting up to 75-100 yards?  This is an option with some work but only if there is an interest.

I also need input for the field target, etc.   How wide do the lanes need to be and how many targets per lane?

Ron

PS  anyone have experience with a Winstar 550, need a seal.  Help appreciated.
