Okay my friends, I finally have the date and details for our first Big Bore Shoot as follows:
Date: Saturday March 14, 2026
Location: My 40-acre farm located at 147 Robert Hodnett Road, Pine Mountain, GA 31822 about 85 miles south of Atlanta and 50 miles North of Montgomery AL.
Details: Robert Hodnett road (named for my grandfather) is a straight 500-yard road up a hill. You will see the same Africa Hunting.com Dinner sign you will see at both DSC and SCI at the top of the hill, so you know you are in the right place. I will have orange cones for you to simply follow to the bottom of one of my fields where the shooting launch area will be. I have marked off and set up 6 stations from 25 to 70 yards for us to shoot in my woods to simulate Jess yet should not be hard for anyone to walk. All have hills for backstops for safety. I have bought The Big 5 targets that will be set up at each of the 6. I am thinking each person could go through 2 times so if you shot twice per target that would be a total of 4 shots X 6 targets means you would shoot a potential of 24 times which should be plenty given it is only for big bore rifles. Depending on number of people I can set up a group of 4 at a time are my thoughts depending on how people are coming.
What This Is Not: This is not any type of competition!!! There is no scoring whatsoever...it is strictly for fun!!! The definition for Big Bore will be 9.3 X 62 and up...no 30-06 or 300 WM, etc. please.
Food: I recommend if you want to eat you go to the small town of Pine Mountain for some of the very best barbecue before or after the shoot.
What I Need: So sorry but I will have to have a signed waiver for each person to shoot...I will have a table set up with the waivers for each person to sign if they want to shoot. So I can think through the final set up I do need anyone planning to come to please just RSP me on this thread please before coming.
Looking forward to it!!!
