I spoke to Ernie and this is what we have planned for the 8ga shooters. HHH will have a 30 bird event on the big bore course. 5 stations will be used that offer longer targets, some stations will be shot at a special 8ga peg that is longer than the 12/10ga peg. Just get a card at sign in and shoot when it is convenient or I am planning a 8ga only squad(s) on Friday at 9:30am. If you would like to shoot with the group on Friday please be ready to go at the first station at 9:30am. Craig Larter

Don't forget about the Big Blast event at the BoWhoop. Targets will be report pairs this year as determined by Mr 8ga. Be there to experience the magic.

I will be ready with plenty of shells loaded up to shoot the field event and the "Big Whoop" event! Daryl, you can call it the Big Whoop, I think that's just funny right there!!

Craig, I like that field course event. If y'all like doing that I can add it to our July event. I wasn't sure if the 8g shooters would want to burn up that much ammo.

My Border Terrier would go to pieces around all the gunfire I’m afraid , but I’d kinda considered it .

I think it will be fun to try a field event. It can be shot over all two days so hopefully it will fit into everyone's schedule. Plus we will have an 8ga squad for Friday morning to shoot and socialize. Big fun with the big guns, ya got to love it.

Started working on replenishing my 8 gauge loaded rounds this week . Still had about 100 new Winchesters that needed swagging . Also got one of the BPI brass crimp starters for my 10 gauge loader .

I wanted post a quick picture of some big Parker’s out on the course. I’m sure Craig will be along soon to report who the winners were and the other particulars.

Thanks to Craig & Craig for making this happen.

Can you say BIG FUN:bowdown:
