Jack,
Expect myself and "The Gunny" to be included in the festivities. Also, btw, I'm meeting "The Gunny" up at Ridgway on Friday to participate in their monthly cowboy silhouette match. You up for it?-----6

Jack...Six,
Glad to hear that you and Gunny will be coming to the Jubilee.
I would love to make it to Ridgway this weekend but I am in the middle of a couple of home projects that I need to get done before the family Labor Day get together.

I'll look forward to seeing you and Gunny in Oct.

I'll be off at a cowboy match this coming weekend. Just finished reloading the last 100 shotshells I probably won't need, tomorrow I'll be loading up some more 45Colt with BP, that I hope will be superfluous, then some 45 Colt and 45ACP for the Wild Bunch side match... gotta check and see if I have enough smokeless shotshells for that... then organize my other stuff...

Hope y'all have a large time! Take pictures... and post 'em afterwards!

Six,
If Gunny can't make it, perhaps plan B would be to drive to Jim Snyder's in Annville (east of Harrisburg) and come over with him. I think he is planning on coming.

Sixgun,

I'm back in Pennsylvania for a short visit, and I'll be at Ridgway for the shoot on October 8 & 9. So you've got to drive up. And bring some good weather!

Jack,

I may swing by on Friday for a bit, but I have some family commitments up in that neck of the woods, so I can't stay long. But Saturday and Sunday I'll be there for the duration of the match.

Six,
I was planning on arriving by noon but if you are going to be there at 10, I'll have to leave a little earlier. Why not spend another hour or two in bed and arrive by noonish? That is, unless you are going to bed around 9 or so.

Please email or private message me your cell number.

You can stay in the clubhouse unless you want to pitch a tent....

I have a couple of vintage powder cans that I am going to give you. One is Sharpshooter and has a small amount of powder in it. Do you have a can of Bulk Smokeless? If not, I'll bring one of those along too.....

Dang! Never thought about where I was gonna sleep.....or food for that matter. Guns and shooting have always been my priority.

Ok, I'll crash out in the clubhouse....no brainer.....no wind, rain, or set up time involved. I'll give that back dark corner of the clubhouse for you and Gunny to snuggle up some. We gots lots of food here.

Wait, this is stupid...I'll call ya later today.-----6
