Great idea David
and the Maine/New Hampshire boys should do the same.

That is a good idea. Might be good for Hausman's too

Here are a few pictures I took before the battery in my camera went dead.


1. Rock Mountain SC as seen from the road down into the place.

2. The new pavilion where the vendors set up their displays and tables and with ample parking (this year ).

3. The equipment barn and at the far end of it is the luxurious clubhouse of some 40' X 40' or so.

4. Station 6 puts you on a cantilevered platform out over the canyon ('I think I'm gonna be sick' kind of feeling up there). Target 1 is a pop-up at about 40 yards at the closest and target 2 is a right-to-left screamin' crosser at the bottom of the canyon.

5. Station 6 again.

6. Station 6 looking down to the path of the crosser (urp...)

7. Station 8 had a blooper that slowly went up 15 feet and dropped 10 yards in front of you.... and a fast, low right to left crosser that you had to be pretty quick to break.

8. Station 11 was a pair of rabbits..... I've never seen bunnies hop so high... the one in the picture is on it's way down...

I just closed my eyes and shot....

Fear is a great motivator - I broke that bird every time!

Prolly just luck.

What do you think David? Looks like "Mills" has already loaded the coolers full of 'Sweet-Tay!!"

That sure looks like the "Southern Deep Fried Magic Bus" to me....

It lends a whole new meaning to "shot-gunning"
