Creeker, SASS #43022

We lost our Shepherd/ Wolf mix "Huckleberry Holliday" last year. Painted Lady does not do well without a dog; so we adopted Rhyolite Ricochet, a Shepherd - Lab mix. ("Guarding" behind the counter of the gun shop) But, of course, Rhyolite decided that I was his human and we were back looking for a dog for Painted Lady. Enter Bisbee Buckshot to our lives - Pit Bull & American Staffordshire Terrier. And fortunately; Rhyolite has welcomed Bisbee into the house with minimal abuse. Tho I think he sometimes wonders why this little monster is eating out of his food bowl

Exactly. All of the "risks" fall upon the FFL dealer; proof of valid C&R, proof of item eligibility, etc. I am not putting my business and license at risk to facilitate the convenience of a hobbyist. And sadly, a significant percentage of C&R holders have zero understanding of what privilege their C&R actually does and does not confer to them. I have had C&R buyers inform me that as long as the model itself was over 50 years old - then they could purchase any version on their license (i.e. Winchester 1894's were made over 50 years ago - so a new version from Miroku should qualify). I have had C&R holders tell me their license exempted them from sales tax. With research of item and discussion with holder; I may accept C&R in person, but I won't ship directly to one. The sales are not worth the potential hassle.

Ouch - that is both harsh and hurtful. I mean - it's true enough, but doggone. 😜

Naw, he tried that once in Phoenix - didn't go well and then I had to be nice to him during recovery. And I don't care for being nice to Shooting Bull - he might start thinking I actually like him.

And the improvements over the last few years have been huge. The Eldorado/ Rangers now have a dedicated shooting area - so the days of closing down the public range for CAS events is over. I believe there are opportunities for semi permanent facades and building fronts and with the range now home to the Nevada State Championships and the Western Regionals - the skies the limit. And who knows? Maybe I'll twist some arms and see if the old Nevada Rangers annual, "Stampede" might be possible as well.

I've "P'd" on my sweep so many times - I've considered renaming it the Urinary infection.

I'm just amazed that no one has shredded me for the sheer narcissistic act of putting my own sweep in the match. And then further attempting to curry favor with the wife by putting hers in too. But hey, I am what I am - if Desert Scorpion wasn't working Saturdays in our gun shop; I would have stuck her sweep in there as well. I'm tempted to go back and add in the "Shooting Bull" sweep to entice his attendance... Two rifle rounds placed on a pistol target Then three into the berm Then jack out four rounds Then Stage the rifle with a round remaining on the carrier. Realize you left your pistols at the loading table and your shotgun shells at your cart. Sing, "I'm a little teapot - short and stout" and proceed to the unloading table. 🤪

Dave, At the match proper - wear your duds and be prepared to see target placements that will surprise you. There will a vendor row; but Tombstone Livery is a relatively small space so the quantity of vendors is limited. In Tombstone; dress it up fully, duds, leather and guns - if you're going to walk the streets where Wyatt and Doc trod - can't do it unheeled. Most businesses are perfectly ok with you entering in full regalia. Just look for signage for the ones not interested in your money. Take a stagecoach ride. There are BUNCHES of re-enactment groups - no need to see them all, but visit the OK corral museum and at minimum, watch their re-enactment. My opinion, Crystal Palace serves the best food. But if you get burnt out on Tombstone fare (or pricing) - Sierra Vista is only 15 miles away and has "regular" restaurants and services. Bisbee is not that far away and has become a nifty little artist enclave town. Highly recommend scheduling the Copper Queen mine tour.

All the world rejoiced; for it is known far and wide that Creeker stages are fair and equitable. And that shooting a Creeker stage elevates all; from the speediest and even to the slowest and most afflicted Duelist like yourself. Blessings be upon you, my son.

If I have to go up against Deuce - The thing that "depends" is whether my adult diaper leaks or not. So there. 🥴

No - it doesn't. Deuce is one of the best in the world. And if that method takes HIM from Superman to merely fast. Then I'll happily take my chances with how much it affects "normal" shooters.

One of the perks of our auto shop (Velocity Custom Cars) being located at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is that Nellis AFB is located next door. Nellis is home to the Air Force Thunderbirds and their practice flight path takes them directly over the speedway and industrial park - an absolute joy to watch them doing their thing; often feels like my own private airshow.

I'm hoping a lot of people make the trip to celebrate the new home of the Western Regional Match. The new Board of the Eldorado Cowboys is a hard working group and I am sure they will put on a fantastic event.

The Nevada Rangers CAS club has recently moved from their old stomping grounds of the Clark County Shooting Park in North Las Vegas to the Boulder City Rifle and Pistol club in Boulder City Nevada. While unfortunate for the shooters in North Las Vegas; this is a very positive move for the club and CAS in Southern Nevada. The Clark County range is beautiful; but had costs associated with its use that were prohibitive to any positive growth of the Rangers club. So, the Rangers are now sharing space with the Eldorado Cowboys at BRPC - shooting the 2nd Saturday and following Sunday. (Eldorado shoots the 1st Saturday and following Sunday) Why is this a positive? Well one - Our sport has lost too many venues and clubs lately; so any situation which allows for better financial stability and longevity of a club is a GREAT thing; the Rangers are also using this opportunity to attempt to give Wild Bunch a stronger foothold by holding a regularly scheduled Wild Bunch match in Southern Nevada. The Rangers are shooting CAS on their Saturday and WB on their Sunday events (something that they simply could not afford to do in their old situation). So I would like to invite anyone in the area to join us at BRPC on the 2nd weekend for a round of CAS or WB (or both). To whet your appetites - I am posting the CAS stages for the Saturday match May 2025. We are currently shooting six stages on two bays due to smaller turnouts - but we would love to have the attendance to have to do more. If you have any questions or will be in the area - please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to answer any questions (and if I don't know - I'll get you in touch with someone who does) Hope to see you there, May 10th CAS - May 11th WB Rangers May 2025.pdf

I would LOVE if everyone shooting Gunfighter would fully stoke their guns on the clock. Love it. I could definitely use the 3-5 second advantage it would afford me
