    A good friend of Nesikabay child is in the hospital, in these tuff economic times we are thinking about a 600 yard balloon shoot at our private range in Nocona Texas, there will be a prize table, but all money will go toward the mounting medical bills. We are thinking about having this next month, hopefully the weather will cooperate, please lets us know if this is something you would like to do.

My gunsmith Dave Bruno has give us a blueprint and thread and chamber job.There will be more. Cheese and badger ord. and Us Optics have donated prizes. also Seekins and Bartlien barrels.In case yall have not notice by now my typing skills suck. But 100% of what we raise goes to the family

    Nesikabay,
    Pleasure talking with you sir.

    Re: Possible Charity Shoot

    Nocona's just a short drive for me, if it is the weekend before T.V. I should be able to make it. When you figure it out send me the sign-up info.
     
    Re: Possible Charity Shoot

    Depending on the date I'm sure 3 or 4 of us from LA can make it. I like helping out people in need and no one needs help more than someone with a sick kid.
     
    Re: Possible Charity Shoot

    We are working on a date to have it. Right now unless you have a 4WD you cant get into the range. We are hoping for the 2nd or 3rd sunday in Febuary if the weather allows
     
    Re: Possible Charity Shoot

    Re: Possible Charity Shoot

    I will shoot Rat30 a PM on this charity. He should be able to drag a few other shooters with him. If I still lived in Texas, I would be there for sure!!

    Re: Possible Charity Shoot

    I'd love to make it. The third weekend in Feb. would work best for me, but will do my best to make it, regardless.

    Please keep us updated.

    My rifle is a tool, no worries with it or me getting wet. I'll ask my boss Monday if I can take off for the third Sunday. I might shoot this with the Ruger M77 if it doesn't sell by then. Still going to bring the M40 though just for giggles.
