A couple racks of pop too... cola & yellow pop anyway ...
OI, much better.
Pakistan is OK for a shoot. No complaints and I hear they have an abundance of 303 Brit ammo. Oh wait, that was Afghanistan. Either way I was just trying to figure out how to come up with the gas to get there.

I'll bring some chips and what ever else I can fit in the saddle bags. I talked to Eric on the phone and he sounded real hopefull that he would make it this time. This is shaping up to be a good outing by the looks of it. Hey OI do you have any paper targets with a squirrel? I have a game in mind if you do.

I actually have 3 variants... Sitting up, laying down (treebranch) and a horribly complex one that makes it look like you are trying to hit a squirrel in thick concealment...

Haven't been loading since I am limited on cargo room this trip. I will bring my squirrel rifle my Stevens 200 and may be my enfield. I will for sure bring my 1858 repros those are just fun. I will have to go see how much ammo I have for my 94 that one will fit easy on the bike.

While there is a grocery or two not too far away, it will be nice to know what food/equipment people are bringing so we don't get too redundant.
Cut N-Paste below and add your ideas. Mokaw's already threatened with Pork Steaks so we definately ain't Kosher, but what the heck.
-------------------------------------------------
OI's bringing:
Fire Pit. Tabletop Gas Grill, Turkey Fryer Burner & Tank. BBQ Tools.
'Taters, Onions, Peppers & Marainade/Baste. 10gal H2O.
I'm short on Camping Cookware/Cast Iron.

I will be there Sunday morning 6/14. I am bringing pork steaks, I will go back thru the thread later to get a solid head count. Also, bringing large charcoal grill, charcoal etc., tomatoes, couple loaves of bread. Folding chairs, couple rolls TP. Other stuff as I think of it.
Holy Moly...!!!! I never thought about KOSHER, are there some Jewish Brothers among us...?????
Should I amend that to hamburger or chicken......?????? Let me know soon.

It was a JOKE (I think)?
FWIW, anybody who hunts anything & eats the meat ain't keeping Kosher either - Jewish or not (not all Jews keep Kosher either). So with this gang I think we're pretty safe.

My wife has some vacation time coming and will be there if she can get the boss to schedule her that week end off.

No point to be there without the gong...
I'll also have the .22 spinner.
I'm also planning to try to get the Heavy Sillouhette Swingers for the 50, 100, 175 & 200 berms. The rest of the sillouhettes would be a bit much, but there are plenty of "scrap" sillouhettes in the shed.

Man, I wish I could make it. It would be nice to get back to Indiana for a couple days to enjoy myself, and I can't think of a better way to do it. Maybe next year. The weekend of 12-14 June is also the weekend of Mrs. YK's birthday. I've been gone so many weekends with the scouts lately that she would KILL ME if I missed her big day!
Of course, then you guys would probably fight over my leverguns!

For those who are coming to the get together I have 1000 Winchester WLRM, magnum large rifle primers, and 1000 Federal 155 large pistol magnum primers I'd like to trade for standard primers. If any of you have standards they'd like to trade for my magnums let me know and I'll bring these along.
Even Steven Swap. 1000 for 1000, like for like.
