Chuck Anderson Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 No snakes, no ticks, no cooties. There will be a pit with a side match that you can also pay $5.00 and practice/sight in if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimel Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The Portland area is more-or-less devoid of snakes, chiggers, ticks and cooties. This is due to the fact that the mosquitoes, deer flies, no-see-ums, etc. have long since sucked all the life out of them. You may have heard that there is a lot of fog near Portland. Not true. These are actually clouds of no-see-ums looking for their next victim. Rumor has it that jerky was "invented" in the Portland area after a farmer inadvertently left a small cow outdoors during a "fog". The deer flies generally are not large enough to carry away anything larger than a rat unless of course several land on the same victim at the same time. It has long been speculated that DB Cooper was, in fact, carried away from his landing spot near the Columbia River by a cloud of deer flies. His dessicated corpse has yet to be found. The mosquitoes are actually rather small, by Alaska and Minnesota/Wisconsin standards. A load of #12 out of a .410 is usually enough to bring one down although you may have to stomp on it to "make sure". Other than that, Portland is a great spot...except during winter ice storms. But the chances of an ice storm during the match are generally considered to be less than 50%. That what you looking for there Floyd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Geez, one Area 1 match in the snow and we're never gonna hear the end of it. Who would have expected snow in May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoMiE Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 That's why I carry chains, even during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Me too. And I don't live there. We had 2" of snow here June 10th. Try 10" over here, Kevin. But most of it was gone by night fall. Should be in the 90's this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ong45 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Geez, one Area 1 match in the snow and we're never gonna hear the end of it. Who would have expected snow in May?

Jeff686 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hey Chuck, is there a super-squad? If so, I'd like to watch. What squad number are they? Thanks! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wileecoyote37 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Super-squad is shooting tomorrow! That can't be. I'm not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 No Super Squad per se. We've got some top shooters coming in but because of the schedule there are some scattered on each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm still trying to lure him to Oregon. Apparently he'll come to Montana but Oregon is a stretch. I'll be there Thursday night, flight gets in at 2315 then gotta drive in the dark and hope not to get lost on the way to the hotel (here we have the ocean on one side of the road and the mountains on the other side of the road to know if we are going in the right direction. I'm taking a chance on shooting in Oreygone this year since I can get into an Area 1 match easier than an Area 2 match . Yes, Chuck I'll be there this year and looking like it'll be my kind of weekend (warm and crazy friends and shooting). P.S. My wife made me take her to Montana and she wants to go back again Thanks for all your hard work. ba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomdagadget Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 If you're shooting tomorrow or Sunday expect it to be Warm! Had a couple of RO's get hit hard by the heat today. While we have water on the stages you might think about bringing your own. Sunscreen is going to be a must. Tom Chambers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 +1 on that. It was hot yesterday. It will be hotter today. However much water you normally bring, double it and make sure to DRINK IT. You'll be glad you did. Bruce (heck, *we'll* be glad you did...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
