| If the gal behind the bar is wearing a tight-fitting top again you won't notice Jeff's shirt. |

| I would love to be able to make it to this shoot but that is a far piece to travel. I wish we could find enough interest in the southern part of the midwest for a Sweet 16 shoot. |

Byron,
Just looked at Google Maps and its 9 hours. That's assuming you drive the speed limit. You can turn it into a family trip and let them run around the Mall of America while you're shooting. You'll drive right past Cabela's in Owatanna, and we have two more right in the Cities. Seeing where you're located, you'll probably make new friends here who will come and visit you in October and November! We'd love to have you.
Regards,
Jeff |

| Jeff, thanks so much for organizing this. I have no excuse not to be there and will try to make it this year. Need to add more faces to monikers and bust some clay caps. Reno |

| Thanks for the invitation Jeff. But I won't trust my old van to make the trip! I have considered a flight but would have to pick up ammo when i got there. |

I have factory Remington, Federal, Winchester and Herters so that's not an excuse. My buds and I probably have about 5,000 reloads as well.
Tiring to help,
Jeff |

Jeff,
How about a little more. If he can push that van to me, I'll bring em the rest of the way!
I'm 7 hours straight North of ya!
We might both need a passport to enter southern Canada aka Minesota. Where they hunt and fish because their baseball and football teams stink!  |

I am looking in to several possibilities but I will find a way to make it happen! I appreciate the offers from you guys to get me there! Makes me happy to be part of the 16ga family! Just wish I had heard of the group earlier.  |

I am anxiously awaiting the flyer that was promised so an out of town guy can find the place for his first visit. I have worked out the details of making the trip so that I will definitely be there!  |

My suggestion is get a good pair of binoculars then just look for the bright orange glow in the air. That would be Jeff's shirt!
Follow until blinded. |

Byron glad you can come. Disregard Charlies snarky comments-he's bitter because he knows the best thing to come out of Iowa is Interstate 35 NORTHBOUND. 
If you cant wait for Jeffs flyer, you can start here

This year's flyer is ready - just trying to figure out how to post it.
Oh, and last year's shirt was white with tasteful, exotic scenes. I wore an orange shirt 2 years ago. You guys need to pay attention!

Jeff, thanks for doing this; it's a sacrifice to get a group together only to have them complain about the weather! Reno |
