Tn Tombstone

Rolled into the Pines today, just in time for a frog strangler of a rain. Plan to walk the range tomorrow for final touches. Few folks already here, more coming in tomorrow. Still have a little room if anyone is still trying to decide. See everyone in a few days.

Only if she finds my stash….again

Theres a rumor going around that Lady T will be there on Thursday if anyone is looking for Bullet Splat. It has been quite a few years since she set up at a match.

I aint got the words. What a shock and tragedy He will be missed by all who knew him

The stages have been submitted and are being reviewed as you read this, maybe not that exact. The theme being our 250 year Birthday I have really tried to stick with the Freedoms our Founding Fathers granted us, You know, Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, The right to Bear Arms, or even Arm Bears … and if you read the fine print, the Right to shoot the targets any danged way you want to. All we are going to tell you is how many rounds to put on each target. You have the Freedom to sweep, double tap, inside out , outside in, single tap, seems like there is an opportunity to quad tap. If you want speed, you got it, you want to play some, you got it. So come on to Black Gold and let Freedom Ring anyway you want to do it. There might be one sweep called the Military Sweep, seems kind of fitting. Also, there is a 1776 round count stage, with a reload and there is a really easy way to shoot it. Getting close now,

Its about time to write some stages, Its getting close just like the targets.

Cant believe you would call me out like that. Although this is my favorite match outside of Black Gold I will have to pass this year. Have to have a go fund me account to afford the fuel this year.

I am looking at around 10:00. We will figure out where when we see what the weather is going to do to us. I understand it should be cooler than normal, Just a rumor of course but it has legs.

Sounds good

Dont have a time yet, what would work for you? As Blackwater mentioned, a lot of us will be there early.

I am going to offer the ROBS class on Wednesday, if anyone wants the class on Thursday let me know so we can make plans. I will let Cat know.

Just checking the water at this point but would there be an interest in a ROBS class on Wednesday? Thursday is too busy, you have to give up sidematch, or warm-up match, or maybe PCC, or Wild Bunch or long range to take the class on Thursday, there’s just too much going on. So if there are a few folks that will be there by Wednesday that would be interested in taking the class let me know and I will see if I can make it happen.

We are trying something a little different at KY State this year. In recognition of our Country’s 250 birthday we are going to try Patriotic Expressions. Doc, if you want lines from movies bring them along and we will post them too. I know it may not be too cowboy but as Admiral Farragut said….Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.

Billy Boots, it would be a honor. I have a good shovel, a better bottle of whiskey and a few jars out of Kentucky that you may have sampled in the past. Hope to see you somewhere down the trail.

When we moved about 5 years ago I had the same, albeit smaller, problem so I went through my buckles and culled out the really nice ones and a few that mean a lot and the rest I buried around my farm. Hope some metal detectors run across them someday and wonder what the heck they are.
