Kansas City area rally, May 18th

[Jkean949]

Is anyone up for trading some powder? I have some N165 that I would be looking to trade 1000 - 1750 grains for H1000, Retumbo, N560, 4831...open to what you have on the slower end of the burn chart.

I have been using the N165 to push a 7mm RM 160gr AB with nice results...just want to see what else is out there.

I'm going to bring some powder. RL17, RL22, H4831. I'll have to research the utility of N165.

Alright, I suppose it's time to set this in the proverbial stone. I'll add all these details to the first post as well.

Date: Saturday 5/18/2024
Time: 9AM
Location: Shawnee Mission Park archery range https://maps.app.goo.gl/p6fm4qafWPCqqmmw9

Bring your gear! If you're not sure what to bring, think about stuff people might like to check out. Stuff you can't get at Scheels, rarer items, optics. Bring stuff you're looking to sell or trade. Bring gear you have customized--others might copy your hack. Last time folks brought and setup shelters...there's room to do that.

Shoot your bow out to 60 yards if you'd like. The park does require a permit that can be bought online for $20 or less, depending on day or year, and age: https://www.jcprd.com/1899/Activity-Permits

Go for a hike before or after, there are lots of trails but this one is my favorite: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Qz4eYMMjS3hmZ2BC8 take the gravel Access Road west and then dive off into the woods north or south. The trails are marked on OnX. If it's muddy, probably best to stick to a paved trail somewhere or stay on the Access Road.

I am looking for a co-host: my daughter had a soccer game get scheduled at 10AM, so I'll only be there till 940 or so.

I've got Saturday slated to build a platform for a blind down at my property. If I can get started Friday evening, that would be give me a little time Saturday morning.

Shoot me a text Dos. Bricked out of my old phone. I can let you know how progress is going!

It was nice meeting everyone that was there this morning! ...a couple of photos of my last whitetail...in the forms of birria de venado, Locro, Tibs, Philly baked bread, corned deer hash, the old standby chili, crostini is a must!

 

[Bearded Bowhunter]

Hadn't been on here in a minute as I started a new job and realized now that Saturday morning I pulled up and shot at SM Park while you'll were all talking in the parking lot. @Dos Perros wish I would have walked over ha.

So, part of our conversation at the meetup was that I was headed out for Montana Black Bear the next day.

I made the drive from Kansas City to Libby, Montana for a week of Spring Black Bear hunting. I used a service cap with a cot on my truck for camping and stayed the night at a truck stop in Spearfish along the way that was so windy my truck was rocking all night. I make the drive to Wyoming a...

Congrats on the bear! Looks like you had a good adventure.

KC folks, PM me know if if you see any N570 powder sitting on a shelf locally. Looking for a pound for some load development. TIA

 

[Dos Perros]

Anyone in the KC area have a Kifaru carbon frame I could take a look at? Don’t care the height.

I think my son has the Hoodlum, not sure if that has the CF frame. Are you going to to the Greater KC RMEF banquet this year?
