Jeremy... your trip to Cody was VERY WELL WORTH IT!  You need to post some pics of your prize!
  

Ben-

Jeremy has lots of prizes to share with us, I’m looking forward to some great range trips as soon as we make it to someplace cooler.

Thank You in advance. Cool

Jeremy came thru big time!  It was 105 degrees when the show closed and we had to pack up & haul my stuff out.  It took an hour and forty five minutes... last year it took over 3 hours (not counting the vehicle issue I had).  BlueRidgeParson helped me set up... these guys are the best!  Louis Lutrell helped supervised too!  It was another great event... Vinny, Heather and the entire crew did an amazing job.  The young lady that sang the national anthem each day was a pleasure to listen to as well.  There were some absent due to circumstances beyond their control... I bet they will be there next year if at all possible!  *Steve, Scott, Rick & Georgia this means you! 🙂 )  If you've never gone to the Cody show, just do it!  I've paid for tables for next years show... only 364 days to go!  
  

I worked hard for that front sight you tapped in for me! Glad to have helped...the 105 on Sunday was Texas-style for sure, sorry I brought it with me!

Thanks Gents.

I had the most fun I've had in a long time. Those three days went so fast but met a lot of new people and got to do some serious visiting with others. 

I'm bedding down in Colorado Springs for the night until I drive the other half back tomorrow...sitting here licking my financial wounds 🙂

Seeing and chatting with all of the usual faces at the show is always fun... and I met a few of our new WACA members who made the trip for first time. 

Jeremy and Lou spent a fair amount of time at that table with Mike and I, and Jeremy got very deep into the spirit of supporting his habits (disease), selling both rifle that he brought to sell, and then buying seven new rifles for his collection!

I got to see old acquaintances. Sold two rifles with much remorse and tried to cure it with buyers remorse. Left show around 2:00 and arrived home at midnight

I landed in St. Regis MT for the night (500-miles drive from Cody), and I will finish the trip home tomorrow after a good night's sleep and breakfast in the morning.

Bert

p.s. I did buy one Winchester this year... a very nice Model 61 22 Magnum, but I had to contribute extra $$$ for it to support Ben's fuel bill to get his greatly overloaded van back home to eastern WA.

I just have to know how it was! I was able to go last year for the first time and wanted to go again this year but, aah life, just keeps getting in the way. I hope all was well and festive. I will shoot for next year!

It's also great to hear the members helping others out as this doesn't surprise many of us. 

When you guy's get settled in, Please show some pics and tell some stories what you might have picked up or thought about and didn't. 

Thanks in advance, and Safe Travel to All!

Can't say that we missed the 105 degree check out but the Lord willing and the creek don't rise, we'll be there next year for sure.
