Who all is planning to attend this year?

Hey Lobo, I'll be there, struggling to hit the target as usual... Shoot sharp's the word, Mike

sorry, wolf, i'm gonna be up t' th' peninsula long rifles 'voo at sequim, but i'll be rootin' fer ye. give ol' pale rug a run fer his money, will ye? i don't think they let him march in th' parade, 'cuz he makes th' feller in th' stilts 'n uncle sam costume look so short, but they might let y'all in it, ef ye promis not t' set f'ar t' th' floats! mind yer topknot! windy

Here are directions to the shoot for anyone coming from outside the local area.

The shoot is very easy to find. Come on I-5 to Exit 88. Head east at the top of the off ramp. Follow that road all the way into Tenino. When you arrive in beautiful downtown Tenino, take a right on Olympia Street and head south. Olympia Street ends at the ball fields at Tenino City Park. The registration tent will be right there by the back stop at the ball field closest to the end of Olympia Street. You might have to find a place to park a block or two away.

Make sure you get there in plenty of time to register and attend the shooter's meeting at 8:45, because we will begin the shoot at 9:00 sharp. There is camping available at Tenino City Park for $10 for the weekend if you are interested. And don't forget the potluck and pig roast on Saturday evening.

The forecast is for pretty hot weather this weekend so dress accordingly.

Idaho Sharpshooter,

I am sur thet Lobo will reply, but jest incace he don'ts.. yar is a site fer ya... you bein' jest down the road apice. Washington State Muzzleloaders Assco.. in google... What ya'll will find thar is a events thingie... push thet and two thangs apir. Monthly shoots and renvezvous... It list a ton o' rendezvous is WA, ID, MT, OR, sum WY and CA. Mostly out o'date by now. Usually the list is complete bhay late Feb. I plan mha shoots months in advance.

Hey Rich, Go to www.wamuzzleloaders.org/ and put that in your "favorite places" so you can call on it with regularity. That's the website for the Washington State Muzzleloaders Assoc. and while their calendar of events for 2010 isn't up yet, you'll find it listed fairly soon. Now, just let me guess that the next doin's at Tenino will be on July 24 & 25, 2010. That isn't too far away to start planning, so make those plans and we'll see you there. Shoot sharp's the word, Mike

Rich, I can't add much to what Tin-Type and Mike have said but to add that the Tenino shoot is a heck of a lot of fun. If you camp out in the city park, you can spend your evening hours listening to Mike prevaricate, pontificate and officiate on the ins and outs of muzzleloading. And get some of that fine roast pig to boot. Hope to see you there.

Lobo

Hey Lobo, Don't be scarin' folks away... Shoot sharp, Mike
