I have a proposition

The team

OK all, the team is selected, I can't divulge names or dates for security reasons, I'm sure you'll all understand.
I have a gentleman and wife team from the west, a shooter from the west and a shooter from Ont. Expanded it slightly so we have 3 shooters and a helper for me. To any I didn't get back to, my apologies, no insult intended, just an overwhelming response.
You all cannot believe the response I received re this request, it was beyond my greatest expectations. I have had shooters from all ages and all across Canada who would have liked to come and assist me with this task, and many more who would have liked to come but for other committments and responsibilities, who sent their best wishes and queried the possibilities for a second go around. This post received more than 29 pages and over 280 posts with only a couple negative comments, unbelievable !!!
This is truly going to be a super Scheutsenfest, I think "twodogs" would have been an interesting addition but he got a better job offer with pay so he had to "bow-wow" out.
I have been on the phone all evening with all three parties and I think this is going to be a true time to remember. I would have loved to be able to have all who expressed an interest and could make the time but unfortunately I just don't have the accomodations. To all who would have come I express my deepest thanks and I hope no feelings are hurt, I had to whittle it down to what I have, and even now it's one or two more than planned.
Stay tuned and I'll keep ya'll up on everything as it happens from now till it's all done.

Douglas
 
Congrats Douglas. Happy to hear it's all set up and a go. I know that ya'all will all have a great time. I truly hope you'll have another one in the future.
P.S. should I send Steve the TV camera man? :p

Yes, congratulations to everyone involved. When this thread first started, I thought that it was destined to spiral downwards in out-of-control, typical-CGN fashion. I'm glad I was wrong.
 
Congrats, Douglas. I would have loved to be there, but was otherwise committed.
I'm sure all will have a great time.
Keep us informed, please.
Regards, Eagleye.
 
c-fbmi, I met you a few years ago at a garage sale, and was drooling over the cars in your garage! Was there with B.B. after her husband L passed.

So people, I can vouch for the incredibly amazing car collection!

Wish I didnt have a job and a mortgage to pay, or I would jump all over this!

Oh, and I am in the 25-35 range, but look nothing like Penelope Cruz, and have a different kind of plumbing than her too!

So, if you do find that kind of shooter, let me know if she has a sister! :)
 
No daughters, and the Ferrari is an '88 Testarossa 425 HP 185 MPH (so the books say)

You need to get out and find the true top speed;) You only get to live once, take some time for yourself:D

Sounds like a fun trip:D Wish I had more holiday time...Make sure you post lots of pics for us city folk. Not quite a 1/4moa shooter but hey who's counting!:p

Good luck on the fun!!!
 
I haven't read all the postings, but has this been addressed?

1) How many shooters out there are capable of shooting 5 shot, 1/4 inch MOA groups at 100 yards, regardless of what rifle is in their hands?

2) How many store bought rifles are capable of making 5 shot, 1/4 MOA groups at 100 yards?

I can do this with my 300 wsm all day with my loads. browning a-bolt

The first Deer i shot with this rifle was 300 yards :)
 
in a hefty cross wind, bear spray lingering in my eyes, and one hand scratching my itchy nuts................ just wanted to see it hit page 30, from a stand still! ;)
 
jammed at a stand still again! and I can't come up with any :ang3 :stirthepot2: :nest: so, just a great big :xes for now :D

how about hitting 11,5 at least?

Any names (handles) of the winners to report yet, Douglas?
 
No can do, as I said before, for security reasons. The "winners" if you want to use that term, have asked not to tell, because then all would know they won't be home for those couple of weeks. Not a good situation I'm sure you agree.

Ah, I see. The "winner" is on EI.;):D
