Drake is in the throws of mental twister working the posse list. We have 240 shooters with more arriving daily. The who's coming list is on face book. (North Alabama Regulators) The posse list, the plan is to email it next week. Heck I might even release the stages next week. If everything goes as planned the posse will be locked at 16. There maybe the odd one at 17 because somebody is sharing equipment and waited till the week before to sign up. Practiscore has 19 spots on each posse. I guess this to allow Drake to move folks around. Practiscore is the preliminary posse list.

I think Scotch is going freelance on this project. I told him he needed to set up near Badlands Bob camp site in case of explosions, toxic gas, toxic waste or other mishaps.

Tullamore’s Marlin is running great. Thanks for checking in on it. How to win a football game in Alabama or against Alabama… … impossible can’t be done.

3 pages and going strong.

Our target distance is posted on the web page. So everybody has the same advantage or disadvantage. Targets are picked and placed on the Wednesday of the match. Since the range is cold until the side match day on Thursday, no opportunity to practice. https://www.northalabamaregulators.com/side-matches-ambush

I have, Meopta, Bushnell and Tasco spotting scopes. Meopta is the clearest, the Bushnell which is a compact model is pretty dang good. The Tasco is better than nothing. I bought the Meopta used for about 2/3rds of retail and it is an older model. When I was out in Yellowstone NP the guides for the critter watching groups where using Vortex Spotting Scopes. What are you going to use it for? Spotting impact on steel less than 500 yards? Most of the mid priced even lower price will work. Arhlon optics is what the NRL 22 group at our range uses for their club spotting scopes. These guys are spotting Rimfire hits on targets as small as a 1/4 at plus yards. Spotting groups on paper at 200 plus yards better to go with a higher end scope. Scope clarity is subjective to the user. It is best for you to pick your price point and then go take a look through a couple different models.

The first range finder was invented in 1769. So a screw type range finder could be considered period correct.

I am thinking we can get at least 4 pages out of this topic.

Cowboy shooting is one of the few shooting sports that does not require chamber flags for long guns and yes I understand the difference between a lever gun and a semiautomatic. With that said anybody who has a snarky comment over an item that enhances safety or allows a shooter to move to and from the line in safe manner should probably rethink their comment.

And... Scotch Before Noon is also going to host a beer brewing 101 for those that are interested in how this strange bit of alchemy is done.

Well it just so happens that Black Patch distilling will be there doing a Whiskey Tasting of Thursday Evening.

Pretty sure it means don't be a hard ass but enforce the rules. We host a State & Regional Level shoot at our club. It is flabbergasting the number of times shooters break a rule and say they let us get away with it at my club. Another one is... that is SASS rule? We don't do it that way at my cub. Level playing field is everybody playing by the same rules.

Could have been that I heard Whiskey Fund

I put that skunk under Drakes camper. The little bugger took off for the hill house where Bud Light Year, Catatonic and Copperhead Joe stay. We chased him down and cut loose on him with the machine-gun from about 50 yards. Dirt flew everywhere, that skunk did a ninja roll squeezed off a squirt that missed and then ran under the hill house about where Joe and Catatonic stay.

Well it is time to get signed up for the South East Regional, Ambush At Cavern Cove. September 28th through the 30th of 2023 The Chicken Feet are gone. The Groundhogs are gone.

Yes they are available, my LGS had one in. Many gunsmiths have one or two dealers they order from, if those dealers do not have a particular firearm they tell the customer they’re not available. Which is the truth from that particular dealer. Check gunbroker, yard sale at bigger shoots, even check the distributor websites. Some of them have a consumer page. You can’t buy from them, but they do show you what’s in stock.

My pair of Hunters HD Gold glasses are the bomb! I was skeptical till I put a pair on. Holy cow what a difference!

I have traveled all over the US both in a car and in our motorhome, vacationing, traveling to hunt, traveling to shoots. I always have firearms in my vehicle. I typically go around Chicago when I go visit my sister in Wisconsin or when traveling to the U.P. Simply to avoid the traffic and toll roads. I have been pulled over a couple times over the years. Once for tail light that was legitimately out. I have been through immigration control check points and check points where the police where looking for somebody. Never once have I been pulled over and random searched. What’s the secret? Drive with in the law. Don’t act like an idgit. Don’t look sketchy.

We enjoy having everyone, even Kajun, on the range shooting the match. What really makes the match is the shooters.

Sent email inquiring about prices. Could you post prices? 73 19 or 20 inch.

Emptied it. I guess it only holds 49 messages?

Sights? We don’t need no stinking sights. Small groups? We don’t need those either. Shoot Outlaw and don’t worry about it.

Roll it up and put it in the gun bag, gun bag goes in the loading room in the house. Been doing for the 18 years I have had this rig.

You will need to shoot lead only on the steel.
