Money well spent, Bill.
Not only money but time. Bill spends 6 months out of every year making that EOT book look amazing.
A little known secret is that he always puts one small error in each book to see who's paying attention... At least that's what he says

I did happen to come across a post from Oct 2021 with a comment from a fellow that had 35grains by weight with the same components I’m already using. It loads and crimps nicely. Fires and makes smoke.
This will work nicely. Also you should load about half a box at 40 grains for those stubborn knockdowns, but you won't need more than that for anything cowboy.

I have a pair of Triple K Slim Jim’s that fit 1851 & 1860 Colts. If you think they will fit your Rem’s you can have them for the postage. PM me if you do.

Straight out of the EOT 2024 Shooter's Book:
End of Trail Shooters! We have an "End of Trail Only" stage convention that is important for you to know regarding shooter "stance". Our stage language "At The Ready" means, if no starting position is given the shooter may be in an athletic "ready" posture, with hands not touching guns or ammo. The shooter does not have to start a stage stranding upright with hands at their sides unless specifically stated in the stage description. Other stance instructions will always apply (hands at low surrender, touching revolvers, Rifle in Hand, etc...). This convention applies at End of Trail Only and does not change SASS rules at other SASS sanctioned matches.

Well it's impossible to set up a 10'x10' tent on the road. The tent gets put where the Rotary asks for it.

The Rotary had a 10'x10' tent in the parking area.

Gets bigger every year. And the green chili beef burritos by Don Jose's were great!

Cause nobody never rode shotgun on no Wells Fargo stage with a 28 gauge, that's why! Or, can you picture Doc Holliday backing up Wyatt Earp at the OK Corral with a...28ga?

I was there. Words can't explain the emotion that surrounded that presentation. The love, respect, and admiration that we all feel for our fellow cowboy shooters was overwhelming in the tent that night.

I shoot .38 spl in BP and also 20ga on occasion. 7/8 oz out of a 20 is no more recoil than a 12. The biggest difference is that 20ga hulls seem to be harder to shuck due to their lighter weight.

That's a heck of a lot of knockdowns. Oops... I've already said too much.

Table sharing is no problem as long as both are registered shooters or conventioneers. Yul, you are a conventioneer as a Ranger.

Here's a shot of Match Director Red River Wrangler setting the firing line with Wooden Nichols, Deadly Sharpshooter, and first year Ranger Aldo Carnage. That firing line from Stage 1 through Stage 12 is over 1,000 feet long.
Ranger Coordinator Lead Bender and another first time Ranger Brewman hanging lights in the Ranger Tent, home to 58 Arizona EOT Rangers for the next 12 days.
The generators got delivered today. One 150 KW to run the event and one 125 KW for backup to insure an uninterrupted good time.

That's why we made him President of the Rental Gun Cart Corral Homeowners Association. He practically lives there.

We still have gun carts for rent. Email Sunshine Kay to reserve one. Don't expect Yul Lose style carts either. His magic just doesn't seem to be rubbing off on them.

EOT results from 2005 to present are on the EOT website under "Results" https://endoftrail.org/eot-results/ . Unfortunately, I think that all but the paper archives from Winter Range were lost with the old website.

Thanks again for the pictures Larsen. Saturday's turnout was the largest yet this year, quite a way to go out with a "bang". Many of our volunteers and Rangers that follow along on the Wire have arrived and can't wait to get to work. We appreciate every one of them and could never pull this match off without their help. Their generosity and willingness to give back to our fellow Cowboy shooters will always amaze and humble me.
Setup starts Wednesday February 21st at 8:00. Anyone in the area, regardless of ability or experience is invited to take part. Our "family" always has room to grow. We have lots to do, and you are welcome to show up for a couple of hours or the whole five days.
By the way, once you get Kid Rich started on that boardwalk, you can't stop him. I bought him 900 screws this year and he wants more!

Choice Ammunition
in SASS Wire
Posted
At End of Trail, many of our shooters who travel, including international shooters, order Choice Ammunition and have it shipped here. I've seen many shooters use it and all are happy with it. Jon Wemple, the owner is a huge supporter of SASS, other shooting sports, and shooting ranges nationwide.
