  It figures; Just as this was posted,I ran into a snag. It is not a game changer ,but it would be a lot more convenient if I could move this a week earlier, Mar 29-31. Is there anyone out there who has taken time off and could not come if the date was changed? If I do not hear any complaints in a week I will assume that it is not a problem and change the shoot date. Sorry for any inconvenience! 

[Drydock]

Trap, how many rounds for the Buffalo shoot?

[Mogorilla]

I will be out on business from the 28th until 5th.   I do know that the Jesse James Frontier Shoot in Kearney is the 6th.   I am hoping to pull off the Jesse shoot, doubt I could come home, get packed and hit the road again in a day, and ensure my darling wife would let me back in the house.

[Trap]

 So Mogo. I guess you are a no either way?  jt

[Mogorilla]

yeah, I really wanted to make it, but my pretend job gets in the way of my real life.

[Trap]

  DRYDOCK, Not sure of round count yet. Since we are doing 2 shoots in one probably around 20.

[Tascosa Joe]

My day job keeps messing up my life but....changing dates may make it easier for me to attend although that is Easter Weekend. 

[Trap]

  As it has been over a week,and no objections have been raised, I am officially changing the dates of the encampment to Mar. 29-31. everything else will remain the same. any questions? direct them to me here.    jt

Other things on my mind!

[Pothook]

Dang! I had the time off in April; but i can't do March.

Oh well, maybe next year. Hope to see some good pictures posted.

[boilerplatejackson]

The March 29-31st works fine for me. I will be toting a long rifle and a patterson 5 shooter.

[Tsalagidave]

I'd like to go. Will bring my .54 plains rifle, .62 fowler and a navy-six if I can make it but I just got word last night that my wife's business is going under so I am tightening my belt and working with her to get set up at another company out here.

Dave:
Hang a sign on the gate GTT.  Gone to Texas.  Come and set up a business here.  The weather is OK and it is not too far to the buffalo range.  Plus we may seceed from the union over Mr. Obama's new gun controls.

Funny you said that Joe. I have been thinking a lot about taking my act to Texas lately.

Texas is a pretty good place to live.  It is hell hot in the summer, winters are mild if you dont live in the Panhandle.  Anything is possible in the Panhandle they have had about 2 feet of snow up in Amarillo over the last 2 days. 

[Texas Lawdog]

TJ, They got 11 inches up there last week. I was born in Amarillo and lived in Dumas till 72. I don't miss all that snow at all.
