Well. I'm pretty sure Jacquie and/or I will be coming this year. We have a baby due in early March and are not sure if it would be wise to bring it into the middle of nowhere. What the hell do I know about babies? So far I think we'll both, oops I mean all three of us will be coming. Otherwise I'll like come alone or with my dad.

It's funny how these couple days I spend with you guys every year come to mind so often. Lots of great memories to rifle through when I bored. Funny enough that most of the greatest memories have nothing to do with shooting gophers.

Anyhow. This year the weather is 100% guaranteed not to disappoint.

Congrats on the new addition to the family. Bring the baby along.. he/she will be 4mo old by that point, its never too early to intoduce them to the shooting sports!
 
Seriously considering this trip....I'd like to fly in, but the question that arisies is this: WTF do I do after I get off the plane?

Fly into Regina & drive about 3hrs West or Fly into Calgary and drive 4hrs East. You may be able to find a commuter that goes from Regina into Swift Current, then drive would be about 45mins to the farm.

Thanks! I have a feeling that with the baby along we'll be a little more bound to the campsite. That's fine because often that is where all the fun is.
I'll have a better idea of who's coming once the baby gets here and I figure out how to work it. Anyone have a spare manual? I don't want to look foolish while I field strip the baby.

So here's my new greatest idea. Lets all chip in and get a hot tub delivered. I'll offer up $50.
 
A good friend of mine and myself want to enter.

Could someone be so kind as to give me a link to the rules, popular calibers, numbers of kills and what type of range to expect.

I am guesing .223 , .22-250, 243 caliber is the way to go and from point blank to 400 yards.

Thanks
:cheers:
