Very fun match. Thanks Smart *, Sunshine Rose, Greta, Purdy Sharp and the rest of the crew for putting on a shoot that’s always a delight. Nice to see Greta shooting again.

Tequila-glad you are coming to the Red Hills Ruckus, the Florida State Championship. We’ll do everything we can to help you have a good time. And there will be 199 other shooters there ready, willing and happy to give you encouragement and support. Don’t worry about being nervous-that’s just adrenaline telling you that are doing something you find exciting. No better way to get ready for big matches than to go to them. And yes, we will have vendors selling clothes, bullets, knives and lots of other cowboy goods.

I wish I could get you by 2.3 seconds. See you at Dark Day.

Hollywood Dave had a dazzling smile--it never left his face. He got into cowboy action shooting mainly to be with his wife as she pursued a new passion. He shot with abandon and his great joy in being part of the sport was always evident to everyone around him--in fact it was contagious. We all had more fun because Hollywood Dave was there to show us how. Dave was a perfect example of what most of us mean our CAS experience to be---pure, lighthearted play mixed with lots of -ever-growing friendships. Ho;;ywood Dave had become a key part of our small Red Hills Rangers club, helping set up monthly matches and volunteering to do anything needed with the State Championship match. We have lost so much with his passing----but I know he rides with God's posse now. Love and miss you, Dave and hope to see you on the other side of the river.

Red Hills Rangers (Tallahassee), Panhandle Cattle Company (Chipley), Ft. White and Valdosta are all within approximately 1.5-2 hours of Tallahassee.

Congrats to a very steady shooter!

Congrats to a great shooter and great pard!

There are only 28 spots left, so please get your application in soon if you want to be part of the 2019 Red Hills Ruckus. T-shirt, shooter badge and awards orders will be going in as soon as we hit 200 registered shooters. My last email update to those who competed last year inadvertently omitted a couple of costume categories, specifically Steampunk Gent, Steampunk Lady and Native American Lady. My apologies. It's gonna be a barn burner of a shootin' match, with lots of socializing on the side. Hope we see you at the Ruckus in April!

I guess we could always check the SASS rules. Here is the instruction given at p. 24 of the latest ROI course material: Procedure for handling a possible Hangfire Keep the fun pointed downrange (in a safe direction) Wait at least 30 seconds before handling the firearm

Amen, Joe.

You can always ship stuff home--like you do cases of wine from NAPA valley.

We are now pushing 160, so the available spots are filling quickly. I have sent out emails to last year's attendees regarding side matches, long range, costume contest categories, Wild Bunch stages, the Prediction Match, Lassiter's seminar--The Gunfighter--and more. PM me if you want a copy and didn't get one. Sign up soon if you want to be part of it. Nice time of the year weatherwise and great competition at every level. And don't forget RO2 class by J.M. Brown and Deadly Sharpshooter, Thursday, April 11th, beginning at 9 a.m.

Not yet, Bob but we are pushing 150 and filling pretty fast. Getting calls every day about openings so I do think it will fill up but I am sure those who submit applications over the next couple of weeks will get in. Hope you are on my mailing list for this shoot. If not shoot me a PM.

Here too! But Purly runs some of the best matches anywhere in the US! And is a champion shooter to boot.

My hearty congrats to you, Creeker. Really want to shoot with you. Now to get to your club from Florida!
