Middle ridge gun club in sykesville is having one on the 24th. I believe it begins at 730. I am also pretty sure that Kirk McKendree from the boondock outdoors field staff will be giving a short presentation there. I will let you know for sure tomorrow.

Foxtrot
They did not let me use my night hunting Tri-X-Stand shootiing rest to compete last year. :-(  Funny how ALL the top red fox killers in PA use tripod types of rests but are not allowed to use this type of tripod shooting rests to compete. To get better in any sport one must not get stagnut in there mothods. I guess hand or electronice calls decoys and lights should not be allowed either to hunt fox, ya now it would be unfair giveing hunters such an edge.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

I agree one tends to get in a rut at times and if you don't change nothing will ever change.I know the last shoot I was at you would hear the guys shooting but had no idea what caliber it was or whether a rest was being used  or what light was being used,it would be nice to be a little more informed.

Using Buckwheats rifle rest is like shooting fish in the barrel. LOL
