We started off Friday morning early setting up the range and hanging tarps for sun and possible rain protection. We did some pre shooting Friday and a lot of eating.... Well we ate all weekend but Friday night started things off.. I will be posting pictures from the shoot here and will be adding them today and tomorrow... Its a lot of pictures to add so keep checking back.

Here is a Shrimp boil pot.. It is filled with corn, potatoes, onions and okra, then that is dumped out and the shrimp is flash boiled and quickly cooled....

Those are Alan's hands in the shrimp pot... mixing them to quickly cool them.

Here is a good picture of the shrimp.

Saturday morning Deadeye started the breakfast,, here are two skillets full of fried taters.

Then comes the bacon and eggs., sausage too, along with country ham....

Once everyone was full as a tic,, we started shooting.... Here is Richard looking down range... He might be getting ready to shoot or he might have just shot that awesome group at 200 yards.

This looks like Ronnie Jones getting ready to put one in there....

Greg Fisk taking aim

Not sure who this is but he looks serious

Here is Kyle Pitman our #1 winner 2 years in a row... He is the man to beat.

Mark Bruckelmeyer, Our #7 finisher in the competition.

Bill Travis came in 5th,, looks like he is hard at work.

Here is Wayne Burns, Wayne showed up Friday to help in the chores and to pick up his new rifle.. He shot it a few times Friday and had scope troubles. We used Burris Signature rings and had them as tight as they would go and his scope kept moving. Even with a loose scope he managed to finish in 3rd place and take top honers for the smallest group shot all weekend. .187 MOA at 100 yards. Not bad for a beginner..... Special thanks to Mark Bruckelmeyer for working with Wayne and helping with scope issues.

Jeff Blakely is getting ready to let one fly.

Here is Phil Juseless getting ready.

Here's a picture of Hank at the bench.

[/URL]

When the shooting was over the targets were scored. Here's Bill with the micrometers getting some numbers.

Here's Hank with the calculator figuring some numbers as 10ga auto watches.

Some more measuring.

Here's a down range shot....

All this shooting makes 30 guys pretty hungry so here is the pot of Kentucky Burgoo being fixed up....

And now it's ready to eat...

Here is a picture of the shooting benches

And some relaxation.

After the shooting was over for the day. we brought the Pitbulls to the range... He is Lapua letting Kyle know who's BOSS...

Here is Rossman on Sunday morning hanging around to help load and clean up...

Here is Wayne, Craig and Myself. Wayne and Craig came to the shoot to pick up their new rifles.

And here is a picture of the Magneto Speed screen showing the 4106 FPS speed that was shot with my purpose built 416 and custom bullets. At the spring shoot we shot them at 4064 FPS IIRC but we broke that speed this time using a different powder.

Well fellas, that's all the pictures I have. Thanks to Mindy taking them or I wouldn't have any..... I was to busy to take pictures and the video camera didn't even get un packed this year.....

I had a great time and I am glad you all enjoyed the shoot.... We will do it again in the spring...

Jeff Hankins.

some more pics

as you can see a lot of shooting was done on Friday and Saturday, Kyle shot an incredible group Friday at practice @ 300, maybe he will post a pic of it. others shot Friday to get their scopes on and get established with new guns and the range. overall it was a great time but a lot of work cooking, washing up, chasing targets, measuring etc but it was worth it all in the end. new friends were made and old friends that had never met got to do some face time. Its hard to beat good people and good food!

Here is the group that I shot in practice on Friday at the Kentucky Challenge at 300 yards. This is a cold bore group. It is definitely the best group that I have shot at 300. Jeff Hankins builds an awesome smokeless muzzleloader!!!

Great pictures guys they really capture the visual experience. The only problem is they cannot capture the personal experience of meeting all of the wonderful people and the sharing of vast amounts knowledge. This shoot just has to be experienced in person. Thanks again to Jeff, Mindy Deadeye, Hillbill, Kyle, and all the attendees that made this another awesome shoot.

congrats kyle & all for a great shoot & wow .567@300yds

looking through all the #'s it was tight/1 shot might just throw you out of the running.my 2nd shot in the first relay(100yd) & fig'd I was done. tried to just fight to get in the top 10 but another flier on the 300yd solved that.

shows you how tough these guys are!

It wan an awesome shoot. I got the info I came for to start sabotless shooting and a lot more. Was a pleasure to help with the cooking and feeding everybody. YES, the food was great. Next year I'll plan to make fried biscuits, no need to try baking them. Knew it was bonna be special when I saw Kyle shoot that .567 group at 300 just getting the adjustments for range. I camped and the weather was great, great sleeping and cool nights. The 700ML that I just stripped and took the barrel off is in for some special upgrades soon. I'd like to think I could make top 3 but that is dreaming. With luck and a steady hand and better glass than I currently have I'm hoping for middle of the pack, and that aint easy with this group of shooters. Now I see I'm just a regular addict, some other guys have it real bad. Great fun, great information, great shooters. Best to all and a big thanks to Jeff. 10

Excellent shooting Kyle! I know Jeff's guns are well put together but you enlightened me on a few things:
My 1 3/4 lb. trigger is not in the same class as that Jewel on your rifle. (BTW, last night before going to the range, I installed a 2 oz. Shilen I had laying around!) That scope of yours? I just made a deal on a Night Force scope I sold a friend about five years ago...........He is going to sell it back to me for the same price I sold it to him! Its a 12 x 32. Going to pick it up tomorrow! You have to be able to get exact crosshair placement. Had some great results with 72 gr. of H-4198 and the 300 BE today.
I just need to step it up a tad..............I will have you in my sights in the future!

Thanks Richard! I'm glad that you made the shoot, i picked up some things from you too. If you have me in your sights at the next shoot it might be over at Deadeyes Kitchen eating some of the good food he is cooking up! You're a good man Richard. It was a pleasure to meet you. Kyle

Thank you Jeff,Mindy and everyone else for making this a fun shoot to attend.
Congrats Kyle!! Some fine trigger pulling and one of the nicest gents you'll ever meet.

It was great to see everyone from the spring shoot and got to meet some new shooters.
There is a wealth of information to be had at these shoots. If you haven't been to one go and check the next one out.

Congratulations on a lot of good shooters, the competition is getting fierce.
