This thread started before I joined the forum.  And the August post was too close the event.  But I think I'd be happy to drive down next year if it happens.

@scantPalaver If we thought hard about how to implement it, we could try for something in eastern WA state at the Columbia river. (400m across or more in a lot of areas where I'm thinking) I've gone to "Jackson Creek Fish Camp" and it's a pretty good spot. Plenty of perfect ammo and no need to retrieve it. However, you'd have to somehow set up buoys to mark the distance and I don't have a boat that could handle the current.

That could be something in the May or April timeframe.

Let me reach out to Chris.  I don't know if I have access to modify that page or not.  If not, he'll be able to do it.

Couldn't you have found a spot a little more private?   Grin

I used to live in Round Mountain about 50 miles south of Austin.

Oh dang! You are probably one of a few thousand in the world that have lived in that area (...I'd assume based on the local populations). It is beautiful out there.

It looks like you guys had your own local dry lake bed that would have been great for slinging!
