  1. Yes, our stage writer goes the extra mile with a short, 4 or 5 line story that normally. ends with…. thats what started the gun fight.

    They add a lot to the "entertainment factor” enough so that I have borrowed some of them for Black Gold and KY State in the past.

  2. Bang Bang, I/we knew them well and shot with them quite a bit at PT and Hooten, they also came to Oak Ridge a few times. Married some good friends at one shoot. 

    Anyway, we still shoot in KY at Ponderosa Pines in Manchester KY. The state shoot is April 23 - 26 and we have a yard sale. If you would like to bring some of Preachers and Kitty Kitty cowboy things there probably be some interest. If you are interested send a PM and I will see what we can do. That would save you those pesky shipping problems my buddy was talking about.

  4. Too Tall Bob, it was only a matter of time once word that the Outlaws were coming to town that attendance would explode. Everyone loves a good show. 

    Dapper Dave, I remember that countdown…. sorta.

  5. Another sad announcement, we have lost another great cowboy and friend. Sheriff Lord has passed, Sheriff Lord shot with many clubs in the South East, had been in Washington State for  the last few years. He was a proud veteran and loved the Cowboy game. We will miss him and our hearts and prayers go out to Sassy Motchie and family.

  7. Lighting McCoy, This is also one of our partners from the Oak Ridge Outlaws and Smoky Mountain Shootist Society and the Ocoee Rangers. He was the voice of SMSO for many years on awards night. Hard worker, incredibly pleasant to be around. The expression "He would give you the shirt off of his back on a cold day" fits him to a T. A true Classic Cowboy.

    RIP m1514944293_Lighting1.thumb.JPG.89fcf8eea210f754c5e449b594004b12.JPGy friend.

  8. Thank you, I will take this opportunity to post the first one.

     

    We lost Preacher Red in early December of 2020 (the year from hell) He was a wonderful father, grandfather, and friend. He was very instrumental in making the Smoky Mountain Shoot Out a success. If you ever attended one of our shoots he was the one that kept the fire buckets going and you would see him riding around on a green Gator making sure everyone was having a great time. He was always a pleasure to be around, had a kind word for everyone and knew how to tell a story. He shot a Spenser so always had to load 3 rounds on the clock and was known to talk to the TO during his shooting string. His favorite line was "Do I have a P yet" He will be missed by all.

  9. The last time if flew which was a few years ago the required method of carrying ammo was either in the clips with clips out of the gun or in the original package. Clips and guns had to be in a locked hard side case. Could be in the same case. This was a non CAS gun of course.

     

    Also, the airports did not have a standard way of handling guns. When I was flying my CAS guns around the country, Our airport did not even look at the guns, I opened the case and they laid a form I had signed saying the guns were unloaded and locked the case back up. At the Dallas airport they took the whole case back away from my sight and checked the guns and then sent the key back out to me. Sometimes my guns were on the convayer, sometimes they were behind the counter and one time they wheeled my guns out last and checked my ID before they would release them to me. (I liked that one best)

     

    I no longer fly if I can help it and love to drive now.
