Strut10 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Well folks............the time is drawing near for the ranks of the ultra-high performance shooters fraternity..........so affectionately known across the web as the Off The Porch Gang (or OTPG)...........to assemble in Western Pennsylvania for the 2nd annual OTPG Blast off. For those of you unfamiliar with the OTPG........we are a metallic, centerfire magnum shooters' society. The fall Blast Off is an informal gathering of the most serious, the most envied and the most seriously envied group of ultra-high performance shooting enthusiasts on the internet. We generally convene around 11:00 A.M. in Indiana, Pennsylvania at the Fire Mountain Grill & Buffet to eat like pigs and discuss all things magnum. From there we take a ri9de out to the range at the Strut10 Ranch for an afternoon of shooting the fire-belching, mudhole stomping guns that make us the OTPG. Generally, we shoot 100, 200, 300 and 600 yards. We may be able to squeeze a 700-yarder in this time. Not sure. You need not be a member to attend. You need not have a magnum to attend. All are welcomed to attend and shoot the guns that members have brought. ALL are welcomed to come out and eat, tell lies, shoot big guns and visit with other forums members and shooters. We're 3 hours or less from Morgantown, Harrisburg, Erie and Cleveland. Anyone in need of directions, just ask. Fire Mountain is brutally simple to access and find from Routes 422 and 119. So mark your calendar for Sunday, November 2nd and plan to attend. We'd love to have you there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I actually have a rifle now that would qualify for otpg member status I think. Really sounds like a great time Don, just a bit too far away for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'll be elk hunting 1600 miles west of you that week. But if the wind is just right, I believe I'll be able to smell the powder. Have fun and play safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelund79 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Have fun, I will be there in spirit. Just can't get away with work and my wife being in the greatest of all moods-pregnant...Someone send a 300 down the range for me though...In WI we have a 4 day anterless season on the 16-19th of OCT-the Mossberg 4x4 in 300 win mag is the designated weapon of choice for that weekend.....Hopefully I will have a picture to post then, especially for the OPTG and the deer contest....Have fun you all.

iron buck Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 It will be good to see you guys again. I will bring my 375HH. Not sure how it will fair at 600 yards though:D But it seems appropriate for the OTPG:) If I have time to do some reloads I'll bring a 7mag as well. Or maybe my 300.....oh the choices !!
