Thanks for the leg work, Nick ... now I feel a little like I've been there and done that ........ NOT!

But at least I've seen a bit of it, and an impressive bit at that!!!

This is probably the closest show like this to you, but guessing it’s still pushing a 20 hour drive!

There are some major BPTR Creedmoor style shoots in the general region of Eastern Colo., Mont. & Wyo that run late August through Mid-September. I had planned to take in that circuit this year, but like sooooooooo many other of my "plans" that one didn't come to fruition either ....Drat! Was going to fill the time between shoots with touristy stuff like the Cody Museum, Custer, Devil's Tower, Rushmore, Museum of the Mtn. Man in Chadron, and others. If I lingered long enough, I suppose the Black Hills Engineering "Emporium" could be added into the Matrix. Of course, all of that would include visiting friends along the way in Bend Ore., near Boise Id., Jackson Hole Wyo., Raton & Los Alamos NM, then maybe Flagstaff Az., so a full month and more would need to be dedicated to running the full circle of such a wonderful adventure!!

None too sure I can survive, let alone even truly enjoy, such an extended, "FUN filled VACATION" at this point in my life?!?!

Thanks Nick for an excellent video. See you in Forest City Iowa in March.

Looking forward to it! Have a couple neat ideas that I want to get put together for the show and hoping to find a few more from the forum that can make it… I talked to a guy at the show last weekend that only lives about a half an hour from me!

Thanks for the video, Nick!

Very well done!

I enjoyed seeing some folks I know from Cabin Fever and the NAMES show.

I talked to a few TV at I recognized from NAMES, but I’m guessing it’s been 6-7 years since I seen them there!
