Post by: Hurricanecharly on September 24, 2018, 09:58:04 AM
This Saturday  will be 1 of our fifth Saturday shoots.
Weather should be good and stages will be fast.
Got at least 3 new shooters shooting Saturday Slow Jen, Young Wyatt ,and Shot Gun Sam, so I'm counting on all you pros to help get them up to speed!
Tennessee  state  is fast approaching  tune up while you can.

We will be shooting 5 or 6 stages Saturday.
If it's beautiful  and cool 6, if it's hot and humid 5, have to look at weather forecast later in week!
Plan for 6 but will keep you posted by Thursday.

Bad Eye Tom shower interest in a long range pistol match in the morning.
5 players knock down rack on stage 1, time decides tie breaker.
Any interest?
Lots of people want to shoot P.C.C but there is not enough time prior to match to really get  in to it, any interest in shooting for a hour or so afterwards?
Don't be shy with you're opinion  it helps to know whether we should set these extra  activities  up!
Post, call, text, or believe it or not email and let me know.

How does the range look now with all this rain?  Are there flooding issues?

No flooding, some small puddles
Stages 1, 2, and 3 are high and dry the 20 tons of stone ( not 10 as I said earlier)  was money and effort well spent!
Saturdays fore cast is looking good, but cold in morning , 61 and 82 blue skys!

I'm assuming the pistol long range is cowboy pistol only?

The side match long range pistol is cowboy guns only.
If you have a pistol  you're like to shoot for fun bring it as long as it's not a high powered  rifle catridge

I assume any SASS approved pistol caliber with open sights (no apertures or scopes).  We should also limit the guns to revolvers ONLY in my humble opinion.  Lets try to keep this a cowboy shoot.

As I said the long range pistol shoot/ side match is for cowboy legal Revolvers.
If some one brings something else and wants to pull the trigger on it before or after the side match I see no harm.
Too Tall this was a suggestion from Bad Eye Tom and I think it's cool!
If it had been my idea I would have asked you to run it no one knows more about this than you!
I'm glad you will be there early to help,THANKS!

Slow Jen shot her first ever match today also and did well, even better when I shut up and let the ladies help her!
BIG BIG BIG THANKS TO THE COW GIRLS OF POSSE 3 FOR MAKING SLOW JEN GO FROM IM GETTING FUSTRATED AND WOULD RATHER BR SHOPPING AT THE END OF STAGE 2, TO WHERE ARE WE SHOOTING NEXT WEEKEND BY THE END OF STAGE 5!

Some said I wasn't using a SASS legal pistol but I can't find anything in the rules that says otherwise.  There are minimum rifle and shotgun barrel lengths but not revolvers.  I used a stock single six Ruger in 32 H&R with a 10" standard barrel (no bull barrel).  I just think they didn't like me taking them to school. ::)

You must be practicing  also Too Tall!
These 2 " disk are hard to go 5 for  5 at 50 yards!
What  distance are we shooting the kds in October?

Practicing is against the rules!  (See chapter 3, section 13, sub-title 4 of Too Tall's rules). ;D  Personally, I seldom practice the long range other than to sight a gun in with a new load.  The gun I shot last time hasn't been shot in several years.  We were shooting at 40 yards last time but could go back to 50 yards if you want the challenge.  By the way, we shoot in a standing position.  Hey, I have to use my glasses to see the sights on the gun which in turn makes the target blurry so I am handicapped like my buddy Bad Eye Tom.

Bad eye Tom may be writing the rules for this side match.
He has promised  to not have chapter... section  8 as you do we will have to discuss this between now and then, I'm getting feed back about you're rules .

As a sharp shooter like you it won't  make a difference.
I like 50 yards with a timer!
Misses are 5 seconds total time wins?
Maybe I'll write the rules.
I do promise to stop practicing  lol!
Bring you're lesson plan and lunch!
