Widder, SASS #59054

Red Knee has threatened me before. Somehow, I get the gut feeling that with Sheriff Chicken George and his Posse of sharp shooters, camping out with Texas's top Deputy, Hell's Comin.......... I might have another 'bounty' on my head by the Oklahoma Tornado. Well, all I can say is..... ' don't place your bet too soon... Pilgrims'. EDIT: I hope to drift into the Range midday before I head over to Bell Buckle where I'm staying. Slick McClade should be at Bell Buckle around 6ish. I'l see most of Y'all on Thursday. ..........Widder

It wasn't just a chicken with a missing part. They also found a couple male Possums that had a missing part..... ..........Widder

It would not be right for me to not reply on this Thread, although I didn't expect such kind and thoughtful words from Creeker and others. Thank you kindly. I have only been able to be on the Wire during the evening hours the past few days because I was at the hospital during the day hours with my Moma. Thats what we all called her..... Moma. Sadly, she passed this afternoon at the age of 96 without much suffering and ALL the kids were able to be at her side. Actually, it was a very peaceful passing. My brothers and sister encouraged me to go on to the TN State because Moma kept talking about it for the past couple of weeks. She was as excited about me going as anyone. Sooooo, I still plan to be there. Again, thanks everyone. Trying to help others with Marlin issues is always a pleasure of mine and as long as I can help out, I will continue to encourage my Cowboy and Cowgirl family to always feel free to holler at me. God bless Y'all. ..........Widder

IF TW wins his category, Senior COWGIRL DUELIST, he'll brag about it for atleast another month..... On a more serious note, TW is still wearing arm braces for his injury but plans to remove them long enough to shoot the match. I suspect he will endure the pain and discomfort and try to have a respectable match. I still plan to have NO PITY on him and whoop up on him good. BUT..... he is still planning to digest Capt BB like a 3 course breakfast and spit him out before lunch time. ..........Widder

Thank you Double Tap for taking care of this presentation. The JEDI Council appreciates it. Congratulations to Cemetery also. His resume is very impressive and he is a great asset to SASS and Cowboy Action Shooting...... and to the Gunfighter ranks. ..........Widder

HC, it'll get even worse if TW ever learns to type. Have a safe trip and I'll see you Thursday, if not on Wednesday. P.S. - I'm bringing the Enchantress. But don't be alarmed, the owner ain't been practicing and will be way outta tune. ..........Widder

Yep, same thing.... cause TW's psycho is 'quacky'. ..........Widder

Interpretation for TW: "Almost LNIB" means its been shot a lot, with a genuine imitation leather pouch (not exactly a real box, but 'almost'). The zipper is broken but that don't really matter.. AND... the pouch comes with a nice Walmart plastic bag to help keep it dry. Oh yea, one other thing to clarify. It does come with some ammo, but not in the .460 mag. I'm tossing in a handful of C45S (Cowboy 45 Special) for your shooting pleasure. They work great in the .460 Mag and won't hurt your arms when you shoot them. Thought you would appreciate that..... If ya need anything else I can help with, just let me know. ..........Widder

I got a nice, almost LNIB, S&W 460 mag, 8" barrel, muzzle brake, etc... and ammo. I'll give you 1st refusal...... but the 1st refusal will come with a premium price. Of course, its still a good deal. P.S. - I'll trade you the 460 for the .500 Mag you have........ with ammo, of course. ..........Widder

I just have ONE nagging question to all you folks coming here from far away places. What's so good or important about TN Williams that everyone is wanting to shoot with him and/or whoop up on him? After all, it ain't like he's a Little Elvis or Homer Trump. And surely he don't have some 'Tenn-a-Maniacs' wanting a copy of his new book..... "Chicken Feet, Possum Penis Bones, and Cinnamon Toothpicks". Just curious. ..........Widder

My time is closer to 5.00 seconds...... I studder a lot. The Widder of old has become the old Widder of slow. And the only thing TW breaks is 'wind'. He wears one of them signs on his back side that reads.....'Stay Back 50 feet'. ..........Widder

That's fast.... real fast! ..........Widder

Hell's Comin's reputation with a 97 precedes him and the TN State should be so proud to have him and a few others of equal reputation coming from a galaxy, far, far away and bringing their '97 Light Sabres with them. Its gonna be 'Katie Bar The Door' next Thursday at the side matches and no place for the faint of heart. How fast can you say..... "6 in, 6 out, 6 down"? ..........Widder

As wear and tear would eventually render my 97's needing parts, I contacted Outlaw Gambler and placed an order. Great service and super quick delivery. Just wanted to share some good info among our pards..... about a pard. Thanks, Gambler. ..........Widder

For all we know, the bear eat a bunch of berries and died. THEN the woman shot it in the head to make it appear she killed it with a .22 I find it hard to believe its that easy to sneak up on a bear. ..........Widder

I think you are on a Posse with Dr. Smellfunkus and Ivan Bottlestopper. I don't know why, but rumor is that Whiskey told Dixie NOT to put any children on a Posse with you or TW. Must have something to do with that background check. ..........Widder

I've read two separate stories that at the Alamo, Santa Ana's troops number approx 1800. Another story, concerning Houston's army, was that when he defeated Santa Ana, the odds were only 2 to 1. This would also make Santa Ana's army about 1600-1800 men. Is there any actual numbers we can go by? ..........Widder

Sam Houstons army was estimated to have nearly 800 men. What do you think the outcome of The Alamo would have been IF.......... Houston had directed his forces to the rear of Santa Ana's army and while SA's army was focused on The Alamo, Houstons men could have wiped them out by surprise. Just my thinking. ..........Widder

If you decide to use a Hornady XTP, their 300 grain XTP 'MAG' would be a good choice. Their 240 and 300 grain XTP Mag bullets are thicker/harder type bullets and seem to have a little better penetration than other XTP bullets. Sorri, I haven't taken any big game with it..... but I dissimated a groundhog with one and it literally turned it inside out and unrecognizable. As mentioned above..... bullet placement is paramount to effect kill shots. ..........Widder

"to what tune?" That's funny. I think my 'spell check' did that.....atleast that's my excuse for now... BUT, just for those interested........ HERE IS THE TUNE:

Chicken George, Hells Commin, etc..... For all those coming from other states, ya might consider bringing some sort of Nasal Spray. Pollen (Polin) effects ALL of us, even around here. And a little precaution can turn your weekend into a more pleasant event, especially if you're not fighting a sinus infection or runny nose. I ain't a doctor..... but trust me on this one. I don't have bad allergies, but I do keep my sinus situation to a minimum by using a little vaseline in my nostrils. Every little bit of precaution helps. Safe travels. ,..........Widder

No doubt, Black Gold is probably the most relaxing and funnest places a Cowboy could be. And indeed, I'm trying to figure out how I might make the trip and be able to stay the whole time. CPRhead Joe and Klan make you realize you're at the right place and right time to enjoy life with great folks. If you've ever been there, you just can't say enough good stuff about the place, people and the match. IF SASS awarded 'stars' or 'ratings' for venues and matches, Black Gold would most certainly get ***** (5 stars) or 'AAA'. With or without me, it'll be a dandy. Rumor has it that even Korupt Karl is gonna be there this summer. ..........Widder

I hate to tell you this Capt BB, but the combination of 'Beauty, Sleep and Capt BB' is call the Oxymoron Trifecta. You might get enough rest to whoop up on a few folks on Friday, but looking beautiful won't be part of the equation. As for me, I'm old, ugly and slow and I already 'rest' all during the day..... I'll be in Bell Buckle Wednesday. Likely, Slick McClade will be there Wednesday evening also. He and I will be sharing a room on Wednesday at the B&B but then he'll have his own room for Thursday on. ..........Widder

HEHEHEHEHEHE. And what's funny is that TW believed that $15 bill was real. I took the $9 bill and paid Capt BB the money I owned him. I used the $6 bill to buy a burger and Pepsi down in Alabama. Ya just don't wake up on the morning and put one over on Ole Widder. ..........Widder

Buckshot, The good 'hot' stuff in .45 Colt in the rifle (16-18") is basically equivalent to the .454 Casull in a 7" pistol barrel. I've choreographed em, using bullet weights of 250 and 300 grains. If she is shooting a Marlin 1894, it helps to have a real good recoil pad because recoil can be a real thumper with hot loads. ..........Widder
