Strut10 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Herre's some more of the action from Sunday's OTPG Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Event. Most of the usual suspects showed up to share the day. Shame on you for 6 weeks if you missed it. L-R: PA Spike King, PA Ridgerunner and Uncle John look on as Pudd prepares to get the event rolling. We are a patriotic bunch and , thanks to Uncle John, it only seemed right to fly our colors for such an important occasion. Pudd working on some 300 yard steel. Yes........that was a pronghorn head you saw. No.......we don't know where it came from.........do we Uncle John??? Possibly the most popular attraction of the day....the grill. Mighty fine eatin'!!! Pudd covers the finer points of firing a .50 BMG to Lil Strut10. Lil sends one on its way. Spike King takes a spin. Uncle John and Pudd talk it over one last time, and......... Another 750 grainer is unleashed. Lil rings 300 yard steel with his Weatherby .308 Win. Snapper and that beautiful Sako zeroing in on the gong. Spike King and his 7mm Taylor & Robbins Mag printing an incredibly tight 100 yard group as Uncle John calls shot. The whole gang at the 600 yard range. Pudd goes long and Uncle John, again, calls shots. An over-the-shoulder look at the 600 yard target (although what we are shooting at does not show up in the pic. It's to the right of the two white boards). The white boards are about 2' x 3' in size. The gong is 8" and blaze orange. Wonderful weather prevailed and a great time was had by all attendees. I think I actually gained a few pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Awesome pics Don, sure wish I could have been there ringing steel with ya's. How did Lil like that 50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_Spike_King Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Again Strut, thank you and to the "gang" for the great day at the range. Shooting the 50 cal was a long but much appreciated wait. LOL. Pudd thanks for bringing the cannon this year. Uncle John, great talking guns and what not"s with you. And the great food sure hit the spot also and till next year when we all gather at the bench to burn more powder again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Again I want to extend my thanks for the invite. No I am not afraid of the big 50 but just about a month ago I had cataract eye surgery and since I now have 20/20 vision in that eye I did not want to play too hard and mess that up. I get the other eye done in two days and by next year I will be ready to rock and roll. Spike King and I had a great time with a bunch of great guys and some great stories too. I can only say if you were not there you just plain missed it and possibly get voted back on the porch by me. Thanks again for a great time, many laughs, and great food. Oh and I know nothing about the antelope head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Awesome pics Don, sure wish I could have been there ringing steel with ya's. How did Lil like that 50? Wish you coulda made it too. Lil ain't afraid of much. He will crawl behind almost anything and pull the trigger. I'll bet if we'd have had 50 rounds of ammo and let him, he'd have shot it all.

PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Just a quick note for the guys that were there Sunday. I got my other eye operated on this morning and it is doing fine. Still a little dialated and a little foggy but coming along just like the first one a month ago. I can see pretty well without glasses and as soon as the eye done this morning is recovered from all the meds I should be able to go hunting without wearing glasses. Look out next year as this old guy has a new set of eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Great pics! I was a little surprised to see a puny .308 at an OTPG function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I was a little surprised to see a puny .308 at an OTPG function. This shoot was combined with a (supposed) W. PA get-together. So we opted to make it an "all gun" shoot. Don't worry. It won't happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't happen again. Hopefully someday I'll have extra money and get a magnum. My other half said she'd let me buy my last gun (with my own money) if it was the last one. I needed a ML for a ML hunt, so I bought a T/C ProHunter. So now I can buy a magnum rifle barrel for it and she shouldn't complain... in theory of coarse. Then maybe I'll make it to one of these.
