Made it through customs this afternoon and made it to my hotel. Yet to find the US embassy here.

I have the same results as Charlie! Had no trouble with the border crossing after driving over 500 miles.

Yes, no trouble getting in but wait till you try to get out! Hope you brought mucho dinero to bribe the border patrol. Set all the courses today. I think you'll really like the grouse walk this year😁 Donny, our chef, has the appetizers marinating. Yummy! No excuses tomorrow - 70, sunny and a light, southern 5 mph breeze. The club has a Make A Break game set up if anyone wants a little extra shooting. Its a fun and challenging game shot head-to-head between 2 shooters. Greg and I shot it with 16 gauge Model 12s and proved all the targets are breakable. See you in the morning.
Regards,
Jeff

Jeff,
Exceptionally well done. Thank you kindly. If you have one next year, I'll be there.

Best,
Ted

My friend Cliff and I enjoyed the shoot and spending time with a bunch of great people today and we are planning on making the long trip again next year! I especially appreciate the way everybody made him feel welcome because he had never been around shooters before and was new to shooting. Smile

A huge thanks to Jeff and everyone who attended the shoot! Really enjoyed meeting a bunch of great people and being able to put some names with faces. Looking forward to next year already!

Had a great time too. Just got home and unloaded the car.

It's like Christmas week for me, now I get to go shoot 4 or 5 rounds of trap on Thursday.

Special thanks to Mike, George, and Keith for putting up with my inexperience. They were very helpful for someone learning as they went. I'll dream of actually hitting that 7 point clay this week (Mike was up by 6 so I went for the dramatic victory with no luck).

Byron i should have left you my cell number just in case you had any issues north of Omaha.

Thanks Charlie. But that is what my AAA membership has proven to be good for. A lot less likely to have a problem with Cliff's late model car than with my 1987 Dodge van. Laughing

Wow, what a great time! Fantastic people, great guns, and an unbelievable lunch!

Thanks Jeff and everyone else who helped put together another great shoot!

Another huge thank you to Jeff! And echo all the other comments, I too am looking forward to next year already. I only have to drive an hour and a half but now that I have been to this event would be more than willing to drive a heck of a lot further to attend. Outstanding job Jeff and South St. Paul gun club. And what a great bunch of people that showed up.
