2012 Plainsmen Encampment and Shoot in Eastern Kansas

I have a working computer again and the NCOWS national is over. I now have time to devote to the TAPS encampment. We have two official entries so far. I will update this as needed. jt

I'm hoping to get out there, but it'll be around the 1st of September before I'll know for sure. Spencer and a Navy Colt probably. Though I'd love to find a JP Murray Carbine.

As much as I would like to come, I will not be able to make the encampment this Fall! Things have just not worked out for it to happen. I look forward to getting feedback from the guys who can make it!

Best Regards,
Jake

I am still trying to make this work, but I have been traveling since Mid-July and think I will be home just in time to start back to school. Have not even been able to make an outdoor range to do the summer rifle shoot.

Maybe I will win Powerball and show up in a buffalo hide Teepee, if that happens bring an umbrella as that would be around the time pigs are flying south for the winter.

Trap...won't be able to make this years encampment due to knee surgery August 24th of this year (2012), will plan for next years get together...Bought a new RK Lodge lean-to so Ill be ready...might bring my new Prairie Schooner....??

Jake, sorry to hear you can't make it. Hopefully in the future.

Mogorilla, I'll be looking for those pigs. I've got a few things myself that I've been postponing until they take wing.

Bill, good luck with your surgery. It's hell getting old. (Ask me how I know.)

Drydock, a .50 caliber Spencer and '51 Navy will put you right in there. Hope you can make it.

Believe it or not, I stay current on these posts. I just don't always take time to respond. Still working evenings and some weekends, but I'm looking for that to change around the middle of September.

Bill did you get your wagon built? I knew you had been talking about it 2 or 3 years ago.

Looks like I can be there

I'll get the check out Tuesday when I get back home!

Drydock · September 04, 2012, 04:09:28 PM

Ah, a good day. Got the check in the mail, and won a Musketoon on gunbroker!

Trap · September 09, 2012, 06:17:56 PM

Unfortunatly, The date to enter the Encampnent and shoot has passed, with only 3 entries. As said if I did not receive at least 8 entries the event will be, (and is ) cancelled ! maybe we can try again at a time when there is more interest. Those of you that have sent checks let me know if I can tear up yours or if you would rather I can return it to you. Please PM me here of your preference.

Caleb Hobbs · September 09, 2012, 07:02:54 PM

Thanks, Trap. If not this year, maybe next.

TRAP, KEEP MY CHECK.......USE IT IN ANY WAY TO BENEFIT THE KVC BOYS............REGARDS.....C.O. JONES

Drydock · September 09, 2012, 07:33:56 PM

Doggone it! Hope it gets done next time. I'll look forward to it!

Mogorilla · September 10, 2012, 01:48:54 PM

Hopefully next time will work for me. I would not have made it due to school. ONE MORE YEAR! While I have always had a perverse interest in the possibility of a post apocalyptic world to try my hand at carving out a small kingdom (let's go Doofensmirtz and say a nice tri-state area), I really hope the Mayans had no idea what they were talking about as I would be ticked to have 1 more year to go for this stinking Masters.

Drydock · September 10, 2012, 04:55:01 PM

But then you gotta watch out for the platipi . . .

Cherokee Reb · September 12, 2012, 08:03:11 AM

Traded for a couple tents and have the rest of a camp already, so next year it's a go as long as I have time enough to get leave.

Mingo:

I'd like to see it happen if we can generate enough commitment. We'll be revisiting the idea again in the coming months.

Would spring be a better time for more to make it? maybe April?

Rowdy Fulcher · September 12, 2012, 11:07:20 AM

Can we kill a few of those Kansas Turkeys ?

Trap · September 12, 2012, 11:34:57 AM

Personally I wish someone would kill them ALL
