Badlands, as long as you bring the Oreo’s you are golden, wait, were those golden Oreos? I think they were.

I am sure we will be sitting up a kitchen under the pavilion, we will have a few "you kill it we cook it” nights. If you have something you want to share it will not be wasted. I remember Evil Bob sharing his Oreos with us one afternoon. We will not have fish this year, so looks like some nights of burgers, steaks, and dogs and maybe some chicken. See everyone in a few days.

Not exactly new, we have had Outlaw at State and Regional levels for 20 years or so. Slick had it at his shoot out back in the days. Just was slow moving west. I would recommend practicing with shotgun, bring extra shells.

And how is that different than a mosey?

Alright, if we are going to do this we are going to do it right, These are the rules off of the Outlaw Shooter page. These are the rules that have applied across all the clubs I have shot with and/or talked to about Outlaw. All SASS rules apply. (We play by SASS rules if we want to be ranked in the main match) First and foremost, safety, safety, safety. Second, pistols must be shot one handed—you’ve never seen one of your heroes in the movies hold and cock a gun with two hands—so its Duelist, Double duelist, or Gunfighter style only. (Ladies can shoot two handed because there are two movies that have lady Outlaws shooting two handed, cant argue with the movies) Much like the Gunfighter category, Outlaw shooting is NOT for the novice shooter; proficiency in gun handling is a must before trying this class! Third, you must hold the pistols and shotgun below chest level with elbows bent, without aiming or sighting down the barrel. Fourth, the rifle may be aimed and shot from the shoulder if the shooter prefers. (There are ranges that do not allow hip shooting the rifle, know the range rules) Fifth, any SASS approved caliber is allowed. (The Outlaws started to disallow 32s but realized no respectable Outlaw would use something that small—unless it was a pocket pistol!) As always, local range rules apply! That’s about it for the rules of the Outlaw category, except to HAVE FUN. Once you try it, it’s hard to shoot (and miss!) any other way.

I heard you might want to help. Looking forward to it.

We will be offering RO I on Thursday morning if anyone is interested. Post here or let Randy or I know and we will see you there.

Creeker, keep with Gunfighter, leave us Outlaws alone. I would be great to see you. Cant remember if we have met or not. It is always good to meet someone for the second time.

It would be fun to see some scores.

We will be camping at the Sale of Champions horse park again if anyone would care to join us. It is in Shelbyville about 20 minuets from the range without the train. I pan to get there on Tuesday afternoon, the rest of the crew is looking at Wednesday afternoon. Camping is full hook up, grass spots, sometimes water front but not often, still $50/night if you plan on camping send money and name to Ray Beech 531 Belfast-Farmington Road Belfast, TN. 37019

I did not throw that snake at you, I threw it as someone else but I’m a bad shot. Sorry.

They voted you posse marshal, congratulations.

Folks are really rolling in now. It is great so see some old friends and am pretty sure I will be making a few new ones.

Truly sad news, our hearts go out to her family. She will be missed by all who knew her. I agree with Cholla, BorderTown will not be the same.

Hoss, it will be good to see you and Bad Ash again, not so much the old man but heck you cant win them all. As they say in the old west, you can pick your friends but you are stuck with family.

Blackwater what the heck is "Wasn’t displeased?" That is almost a double negative. You take care of yourself and I look forward to seeing you in Kentucky even if it is just a day. On that subject…the weather is looking like it may be a good one. Yard Sale on Thursday with some guns on the table I am sure. Plenty of items everyone needs. Shoot-offs, both Man on Man and team events. Maybe a little foolishness, good music. What have I forgotten? Oh, I remember, there is also a two day 10 stage State shoot. Come see us once and you will become a regular at Pondarosa Pines

I may not remember my fourth match but I do remember that feeling. Keep at it, it only gets better.

Lets make that RO class on Thursday a RO I Class, If you are interested in RO II let me know and I will set something up. I would also be willing to teach a class on Wednesday if there is enough interest. I will be there so if that would help on side match day let me know that also.

Well, the stages have been submitted to the committee, Things are really shaping up in Manchester KY. Come see us for the KY State Match, its a great warm up for Black Gold and also a way to kick off the shooting season.

That explains why they were digging that pit where you and Pinky camp. I am sure they will have it filled in by next week. Barn needs cleaning.

I have not missed one yet, dont figure to miss this one. Weather may even be good this year.

I will see what can be done for those of you who cant think outside the box. Obviously Cat got the negative reversed on this picture. Same way Billy the Kid became Left handed.

A fine young man, congratulations Jace,

Congratulations, well deserved.
