I will try to be there this year, if my bride will ride along.  Gary can't make it again this year and Kay wont let me go that far by myself anymore.

Unfortunately, the same weekend this year as the last BRR Monthly Shoot. I enjoyed myself last year even though I didn't even shoot at the buffs I couldn't see through the sights, due to the color they were painted and my old eyes!

In discussions, the colour issue should be resolved.

At the buff shoots I put on I found semi-gloss black is the best. At certain sun angles, flat black will disappear

I plan to attend again this year.  Not sure if my favorite wife will make the trip with me, though.
If I can work up a good load and get the sights regulated, I'll be shooting my vintage 50-70 Rolling Block (with military grade sights)...not as high of expectations as with my Pedersoli Sharps and Long Range Lee Shaver sights, but I expect as much fun and satisfaction.

Need more work on the 50-70 to use for long range.  I think an upgrade on the military sights is in order!
I'll be using Mattie Lynn (my Pedersoli Sharps) again, but with a heavier bullet than last time.

I just saw pictures of the newly painted buffs. They look great!  Will see everyone Saturday.

Not to detract from Dave's Chuckwagon, but I am bringing some sliced tongue and biscuits for a mid-morning repast.    I have it cooked and chilling to slice.   See everyone Saturday!!!

Damn, that sounds like fun.  I really need to get to that one!  (Won't be this year, though.)  I did, however, send a small representative with Drydock.
