THE GREAT NOR EASTER The Bucket Have you seen the July Cowboy Chronicle? The Great Nor easter is on the front cover with a great article about the 2013 event. There are also lots of pictures from the weekend. And in case you haven t read the story yet we need to mention The Bucket. The Bucket is a tradition started somewhere back in the midst of time and to this day is carried forward by Critter T. Longshot and Ruby Rose Longshot. The Bucket appears to be an innocent mix of various fruit juices, ice and the occasional wedge of lemon and lime but trust me, it s not innocent. And most important; Never, Ever, consider The Bucket as a shot glass. For if you do make this mistake well, I ll let you guess the results. A VERY SAD SIGHT INDEED! AN EMPTY BUCKET. Are you concerned about traveling with firearms? Shipping them to and from the match may be arranged. Contact Capt. Morgan Rum for more information: 603-772-5041. The Great Nor easter is looking for WADDIES to help out with this year s event. WADDIES you get to shoot-through on Wednesday, then work Thursday through Sunday; one, two, three or maybe all three days depending on your schedule. And the best part a reduced rate to shoot the match! Indicate you want to VOLUNTEER on your registration form. Dry Camping available at the range see the Camping form on the Registration page of the website. July 23-26, 2015 marks the GNE 10th Anniversary SAVE THE DATE!
