I have yet to meet Geoffrey, but if that's what he looks like, . . . or feels like, well, we'll just have to cut him some slack. We can't all have grace, charm and a positive self image.

Geoffrey is an awesome guy, he and I spent some time together at the last shoot....

Sure wish I could make this one, but my targets will be there hopefully, God willing and the creek don't rise....

If anyone has a springer and would like to install a new spring or seal while at the GTA show, I can bring a nice spring compressor and some ARH lubes. Just let me know and I'll toss the gear in the van. If it is a HW rifle, I could even lend a hand - haven't worked on much else.

It CAN'T be in the middle of no where!
I found that years ago in Texas!
It was so far in the middle of no where that it took days to get some where other then no where!

A buddy and I took a motorcycle trip back in May of 1977. We had taken the southern route from Iowa to California through Colorado. Coming back, once we hit Las Vegas, we cut north and headed towards Salt Lake City. About 1/2 way there, we saw a road sign with the name of a now unremembered town. We were low on gas so we slowed so as not to miss the off ramp. Shortly thereafter the off ramp appeared: a short stretch of pavement leading from the highway dead-ending into a set of tire tracks in the dirt some 20+ feet below. At the bottom of the ramp was another sign with a directional arrow pointed west, and the pair of well worn tire tracks heading directly west, through the dirt, into the sunset. That land was so flat and that pair of tire tracks continued for so long, at least as far as we could see, it looked for all the world as if they drove right into the heart of that late May sun. We decided we would rather run out of gas, if that be our fate, on the interstate than somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. In my memory, that's still the most nowhere place I have ever come across.

chardosmith,
Will you be bringing a Whiscombe? If so, what model?

Meann-Machine · « **Reply #228 on:** May 13, 2015, 09:30:39 PM »

and thanks, linsfreak.

chardosmith · « **Reply #229 on:** May 13, 2015, 10:38:16 PM »

I will bring a JW70 fixed barrel and a JW65 tip barrel. Two of my favorite rifles.

chardosmith,
Does two do it, or are you bringing rifles other than your Whiscombes? I'm brimging 5 rifles, all springers/gass rams, a few copies of two of our favorite targets, a flash drive and a few hundred pellets. I look forward to our introduction. I should be there sometime +/- noon on Friday.

Craig

chardosmith,
God given, or legally adopted name?

I see I-74 has some construction. Anybody know how bad it is?

THANKS

John

Privateer · « **Reply #234 on:** May 14, 2015, 12:29:07 AM »

If your coming from Chicago you should be taking 65 to Indianapolis. From there to Cincinnati on 74 is pretty good shape.
Take 275 around Sin City though as 74 is real bad on the North side last I was through there.
Watch your speed on 275 as it is a great place to get a ticket.
Best thing to do is try to plan your times so you avoid rush hours in major cities.
Better to sit at a Denny's for an hour or so then in rush hour traffic!

So far I saw, from Memphis to here, congestion in Louisville and others reported Cincinnati, Knoxville and of course Atlanta with interstate traffic at almost or total standstill at times.

Has been a year in planning.
Got here yesterday with a truck and trailer loaded. Starting to get things lined up and organized. Already gotten to see old friends and meet some I've been anxious to meet. This should be a great event and in talking to Hargis, will be even bigger and better next year. Hey, we haven't even officially kicked off this years event and we're already making plans for next year.

Safe travels everyone and really looking forward to seeing you.
Those that cannot make this event, you really need to experience this. Make plans for next year!!!
Don't let the fear of Rocker1 and his hammer keep you away. LOL
Here he is opening the gates to the event....
Thanks to Nikoman for providing the great GTA banner!!!!

THANKS! I hope I don't get caught up in that clutter.

Man, I gotta stop reading this thread. It's killing me seeing all that I will be missing. Heck, even if I didn't take one shot there, just meeting so many of you guys I feel I know through this forum would be worth the 7-8 hour (or so) drive. There's a bunch that I'd like to thank in person too and shake their hand. Jason (NervousTrigger, Joe P...).

Hopefully next year...
