I was fortunate to attend the first one many years ago. It was a lot of fun and one of the highlights for me was spending time with Lee Jurras. That man deserves more recognition for how Super Vel saved LEO's lives. The format has changed for Linebaugh's seminar but anything John does is worth paying attention to.

It has been years since I've been to John's seminar in Cody. At the time, it was a seminar with classroom time in the AM on a couple days with the remaining time at the range. I am fortunate to have met many wonderful folks there, who have now become lifelong friends. Not to mention John himself, who is a wealth of knowledge and wonderful friend as well.
When I first met John, it was on my very first elk hunt in Wyoming, when after tagging out, I call his number from the local gun store in Cody. He invited me to his home where we met and he graciously answered my questions and introduced me to his guns and gunsmithing skills. That was just the beginning. In our subsequent conversations, he had the idea of traveling to other areas to do a seminar. So, I approached our local gun club and became the host for John in Carthage Illinois. We had a seminar there with John for 10 years. Each day we would have a morning of classroom time and an afternoon of shooting, all was done at the range. With the help of many volunteers there was always a lunch offered, usually burgers, brats and other things from the grill, lots of sides and desserts by the help. Penetration testing was done and on occasion the charging bear target mad an appearance. Nighttime was in the parking lot of the local motel ( yep only one available ) with good cigars and adult beverages for those who wanted. Lots of stories shared. The last day culminated with a prime rib dinner at the local restaurant, which always did a fine job of serving up a good meal. The last two were after John's heart surgery. After his surgery, I think he needed to stay closer to home as it does take a toll on one. So the shoot has continued but is now the Memorial day shoot.
I have been the recipient of such good fortune to meet and be befriended by so many that I met. Including John himself. I don't think you would ever regret going to one of these shoots. Nor any shoot where folks just get together for the pleasure of shooting. No competitions, no money games, just burning powder, telling of life's experiences and learning from each other. You will be enriched.

Interesting in that this shoot is the exact same week as Jake Clark’s mule days in Ralston! I plan on going to the mule auction and picking up a gun from Dustin so may get to swing by the shoot as well.

I've been several times and really enjoyed myself. One year someone brought a 700NE double and let everyone shoot it. I had a recent neck injury so I wasn't able to participate.

I'm now 90% sure I'll make the first 2 days and hope to meet several of you there.

Wanted to poll you guys and see who has been in years past. Was it worth the trip to you? it would be about a 2 day drive just to get there from East, Texas where I live and then another 2 day drive back. I have always wanted to go and the museum there would be a bonus as well as just seeing the area. Maybe a stop to Little Bighorn battlefield on the way or back. Thoughts, David ***** David.... you have answered your own question. David Bradshaw

I'd love to go. Not sure I can afford the travel. Ditto. 2,000+ miles each way I checked, and for me it's just over 1,100 miles each way. I can't imagine the cost for 2,000 miles plus! Gas alone in my car was an estimate of around $400 total. And it's still cheaper than flying.

I was lucky enough to attend the last Linebaugh Big Bore Shoot at Carthage, IL in 2015 or 2016. I wish that one was still going on since it wasn’t too bad a drive from Virginia. John was super nice and so helpful. Really everyone there was just great. I didn’t know anyone there but everyone treated me just like one of the family. I really want to make it to one in Wyoming at some point. Marshall
