I miss Neil !!!!!!!!

At one point I started carrying my set of certified check weights with me. A Club wanted to dq. my rifle & I knew damm well I was legal.

Hoke was a very good writer, and all around good guy. It was always a pleasure to talk with him !!

Before long, some protesters will want to tear that down !!!!!

exceedingly funny !!!

Baseball "used to be a GREAT GAME". Hell, if you can't plunk a batter, or two. why play the game !!!!!

Or.... "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER" ....

Spalted Maple ??

Kent, great to hear from you ! I still have most of my Kit, as well, but I grew tired of chasing ammo, & the travel. Sadly, a lot of the Ranges in the Mid-Atlantic have dropped out of the Rimfire...

gosh, that's funny !!!

I expect Tim can add to this conversation !

Gosh, that's funny !!!!!!!!!!!!

Fred, all the "old time" Benchrest Shooters are thinking of you and Dorothy right now. Best wishes, Glynn

I shot there back in the early days of Piney Hill, & don't remember any problems. Of course my first wife said I couldn't even remember how to get home. I did get some "frostbite" at another venue...

Makes sense. I've lived in the desert Southwest, long ago. Thinking back, I remember the heat !!!

Start time 7 am. JEEZ !!!

Gosh, another good guy gone. I knew Bill when he lived in Richmond, VA . He was, a that time shooting both Rimfire & Centerfire Benchrest. Then he moved west. He was always a pleasure to talk to.

Gosh Dave, I was thinking about Marshall the other day. He was a good gunsmith & a smart shooter, also fun to be around. The time frame you mentioned was an exciting time to be shooting rimfire...

Portland is "special". My daughter lived there for 5 years, & still spends a week a month there on business. It was always interesting to visit, but I wouldn't live there on a bet. :)

Seems that I read somewhere that it helps to oil the sawdust !!

Dick, with your gift for writing, I think many of us would enjoy you describing the equipment used, & available, when you started shooting Benchrest.

Hoke is a great guy, & a great writer. I wish his a quick recovery.
