Quoted: Im in. Missed it last year. Probably will arrive Friday afternoon or evening. Hope for a Saturday morning run. What are the requirements for "Battle Rifle" class? Does AR15 qualify, or should I break out my M14?

Quoted: Sad it be missing out, but will be making trophies and some swag. Double Tap Designs. Quoted: If anyone is planning on doing a "side kitchen" and would like to serve some Mexican Tortillas, let me know. I'll be down here for another week or so.  |

Quoted: Donations sent. Ready to puke with yall! Oh shoot almost forgot to donate, thanks for the reminder! (I know there's still time...) Likely leaving Saturday morning to head home as a close relative is throwing an 80th B-Day Party for herself and I promised I'd be there. Will try to coordinate with someone if I happen to get a prize of sorts, but I'm not too concerned. Unless Bill will be there handing out his personal number, then I'll just do 90 on the way home.. |
