Well, day one of high-power was interesting. Rain for the last two days finally quit about daylight and the day turned out prefect with not a cloud or wind.
There are 144 competitors in Heavy Gun and 119 in Hunter.
Quick Rundown (it

You can't even get a biscuit here in NYC.....No shortage of pizza places though....Got the subways all figured out though......Went down to ground zero this evening and was a little disappointed.....We're still hunting the &#@&:'s that did this and there was very little or no signs directing you to the place of the tragedy. Ground zeor itself has become (it looks like to me) a dumping ground for NYC transit to store supplies.....Gator, feel free to introduce spottin kitty to hi power. Let her know that she can be replaced if she don't come back from her vacation with the right attitude....

Gator and Spottin Kitty,
Should of camped in a tent, I took grits, remembered from three years ago they are hard to find, you can find the instant variety in the Dollar stores, bottom shelf. They will do in a pinch. As for the biscuts Spottin Kitty, NYC isn't the south buddy,biscuts are replaced with bagels. Try driving through with Hyacinth Macaw on loose on the seat with you (alone) during at night during a bird reposession situation. Really fun and the rental car even came through without any dings, or bite marks.
Hope you are having a great vacation though.
Made it home with only minor incidents at Buffalo, seems the supervisor there doesn't see the need for TSA unloaded rifle forms or even the need to check the rifles. Cutomer relations and I have been having a few discussions since I arrived home, rifles with no further damage.

The reporting has been fantastic, just the facts no Readers Digest condensed versions!!

Shoot stratight and tell Barber to get em all.

And Gator I am still Innocent

Go CB!

Gator I stopped on my way home and had some grits just for you, and you know I am not much of a grit person. Kitty I could call some friends of mine that are in NYC might be able to get some emergency biscuits delivered to you. (wouldn't want you to go through withdrawals) Hope that you guys are having fun.

We're having a great time. On our way to Build a Bear for the grandkids. These Bagel things are really popular in NYC. They seem stale and tough to start out with. Begs the question how tough are they when they get stale.?

Going to Times Square tonight to see what's that all about any maybe Chinatown......

Greetings from Ridgway

Possibly due to the perfect shooting conditions, records are still falling like rain. I will try to get a list of them for tomorrow

Gator,

I halfway expect Kitty to be wearing a Georgia Bulldogs sweater instead of the Razorback one. Got her a surprise at the build a bear place. Picked up a little thing that you can surgically install that has a recorded lion roar. Bet that will keep the coyotes away....

Last day in Ridgway

Gator,
You really need to wear some feathers, we all know who is the better team. Yes I will eat instant grits in a pinch, but I do not put maple syrup on any kind of oysters. Mountain, raw, steamed or otherwise, at best a little hot sauce or maybe if there is enough horseradish in it some cocktail sauce. Butter if its steamed.

As for Kitty, we could get a black UCF Knights shirt for her.

Innocent

Should have realized Gator was from Florida........Just couldn't imagine what he did to get kicked out Florida and exiled to Georgia.....Guess Spottin Kitty, should she survive, can wear anything......Anything that is but a thong...

Home at last with Spottin' Kitty on the hood lookin' for "Bears". 740 miles in 13 hours but it is all downhill according to the map. Here's the records broken at Ridgway as promised.
