I realize that the timing of this is very poor with fuel prices going through the roof, but I am starting this thread just see if there would be any interest in a 2-3 day "Double Rifle Builder's" workshop/gathering?

I am basically looking at this as an opportunity for folks that have built doubles, or are in the process of building a double, to get together and share knowledge first hand. I do not want this to be a situation where I am the only builder in attendance and have to do all the talking and disseminating of information, therefore, having built a double rifle, or being in the process of building one, would be a pre-requisite. If we have some "experts" (read, extraverts) that are willing to put on a demonstration of some kind, then there would be a few "formal" sessions. Otherwise, this would be mostly an informal gathering of like-minded hobbyists/gunsmiths that would like to meet first hand rather than just though the internet forums. I do have 50 yard range, so shooting can be part of the gathering.

My thought right now, would be to host this gathering at my place east of Ft. Collins. Since I host the annual "Elephant Hunt" (big bore shoot) on the second weekend in August, my thought is to "piggy-back" this event with the Elephant Hunt. Hold the workshop on Thurs-Friday before the EH, and the culmination of the two days would the EH on Saturday. There would probably be some cost associated with the event to cover portable toilets, food, logistics, etc. - at a guess, around $100 (maybe a bit less) per attendee.

Once again, I have not made this a plan, I am merely soliciting interest.

Interested?????
