Virginia Shoot?
« on: January 28, 2010, 12:52:35 AM »
I thought you said the club was looking into having it anyway; maybe at another site.

Nope, they want to have it, but understand the reality, that there is no place to shoot this year. It's cancelled  http://www.cutbanksportsman.blogspot.com/

Alternate site is in Willis, VA just after the 4th of July!   ;)

Nothing firm yet - Dale has to coordinate with his father-in-law as to the dates available.   :)

I haven't asked, but I don't think there will be a limtitation in bore size.

If you look at the threads from the last two (first and second annual) shoots, you'll see some good pictures of the 'range'.

Well if you get there with your little mountain gun I volunteer to help out as much as I can!

I am hoping to have something rifled there my self  ;D if I can get it done in time.
Mr president I do not cling to either my gun or my Bible.... my gun is holstered on my side so I may carry my Bible and quote from it!

I will make the announcement as soon as we've decided.

It will be posted under a new topic:  The Third Almost-Annual New River Valley Blackpowder Mortar and Cannon Shoot.

I'm working on an old home-built cannon that is .50 cal now and will be bored out to clean up the bore to either 5/8 or 3/4 bore for the postal competition.

    Here's what i will do: bring 2 cannons and 3 mortars, and teach a safe shooting class for those that don't bring anything to shoot.
