ABA Spring Shoot & Banquet

[Keith de Noble]

March 19 & 20 at Camp Robinson Wildlife Demonstration Area.

Those wanting to come on March 18 can get some fine Dutch Oven Cookin' and the proceeds go to the Roger Maynard Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Go to the ABA website for more information. I have sent the entire issue to Billy Collins, our webmaster, and he'll probably have posted by Monday.

If you need specific information, PM me and I'll get you the answers.

Yup - we all had a great time, but now I'm whupped like a pup been runnin' all day. On Friday evening, five of us red neck cooks had 13 dutch ovens cookin' along with a red neck microwave and we raised $324 for the Roger Maynard Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The banquet was a lot of fun and Kildog pegged it - the guy doing the callin' with only his mouth was very talented. If I had been outside and with my eyes closed I'd have thought most of them calls were the real thing.
Yours truly bought the knife Kildog talked about and a nice print. The ABA raised a bunch of money off the silent auction and too many of us ate too much fried catfish and peach cobbler.
At last count, we had 305 shooters for the weekend, but that's not official yet.
If you weren't there, we missed you and you missed a great weekend. Everybody get set to go to the Roger Maynard Memorial Scholarship Shoot on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30 at Camp Robinson Wildlife Demonstration Area. We sure would like your support and fellowship.

I got sick last evening and was unable to attend the door prize drawing today. Did I win anything? :biggrin:

And as has been said - a great time, great food, great entertainment. Bob Robbins definitely surprised me with his spiel.

[kildog]

Reflex...sorry to hear you got sick! Several of us was looking for ya and wondered where you were at. No you didn't win anything....the only one that you probably knew was Clarance won a big bottle of roundup.....we told him to mix it with oj and enjoy the rest of the day! Hope you're feeling better today!
