With Bob's Monkey now rifleless and needing a ride to Raton, its time to start getting ready for Raton.....Who's going and when are you arriving? Where are you staying.....We are leaving the 5th and hope to arrive same. Staying at the Comfort Inn.....Arkansas should have quite a representation this year. About time, I'm tired of carrying the load all by myself. We are bringing 3 from our area. Chiken, who all's going from Benton? Everybody chime in.....

Kitty,
I plan on arriving sometime on the 7th, will be in NM long before then but have other places to see and people to annoy. Staying in building 2 of competitor housing, for at least part of the time.
After that picture of Sexy on the beach (or is that in the bayou?) I'm not sure you are carrying all the weight of the Razorbacks, but then the chimp ought take some of the heat off of your back.
Maybe he'll get a good public defender.

Chuck and I are driving down from Utah. I haven't hear from our Montana neighbors (out West Montana IS nearby) but hope to see them. Hey, what's with Idaho? Doesn't anyone there shoot?
Chuck threw me out so Sweet Innocent is taking me in. Innocent AND a cheerleader! Hot Damn!

John, you should know by now what I like, as you said, you tasted, plenty of it, so as far as is good, I guess I can drink some of it.
And yes the XXXL custom shirt will be there, but is only available to look at the colors, the production version will be ready after Benton.
I hope you are bringing the 6.5x47, I would like to try a few rounds with it, Paul is also bringing his new 6.5x47, hell he had it for a week, and have not fired a shot yet, he claims it will be tested tomorrow.
See you soon.
Evelio.

There ain't no modern shooters in Idaho anymore. Everybody there shoots that stinkin charcoal stuff.
I don't know about the western part of the state but a snow-bird, a cook, and a coach from centeral MT will be there. I think a little girl is going to be there also.

Evelio, I sure hope you have John's shirt in Hot Pink
Not going to make Raton this year. like Winne, everyone's backed out from up here. You'd think I could get at least one of these retired guys to want to travel wouldn't you???

You'd think I could get at least one of those working guys (still getting a paycheck) to go to Factoryville once a month.

Evelio, Know what you like am will bring it. Glad to see you getting the XXXL Evelio McDonald Custom Rifles shirts off and running. Pharr may have Chicken George as a spokesman, but I think I make a much better one....IMHO anyway. Am bringing the 6.5X47....Reloader 15 has become the magic powder for that rifle.....I shot well with the Varget, but the RL 15 is out the door.....
Bob259, the folks in New York just need a leader. Step out and say "I'm going and if you don't it's your loss".
Ducky,
Will be taking my ditty bag to Raton and will post pics.....Did you get the Photo CD? It's the edited version of what is on your computer (Took out all the nudity, shenanigans in the motel rooms, etc) and should be what you send to your sponsors.

Ducky,
There will be more than one of us there with a Winny ditty bag. I actually look forward to showing it off to Mr Conner.
