Johnny The Kid , SASS 22917 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Just heard the Mule Camp 2010 has been cancelled. This is not official, as I heard it "through the grapevine". Am sure someone from MC will be on here soon if it is true. Hate to hear this if true. It has always been a great match. Edit....Now it is official per the reply herein by Coyote Calhoun. Real Bummer, but thanks to all who made Mule Camp the great match over the years. Johnny
Chisler Wood Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I think I just head their server crash...... Holy smokes, that sucks if it's true.... CW
Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Ha....It is a plot by Johnny The Kid to keep everybody else away....so he can be "The Lead Mule". On the flip side the server has been down for over 2 weeks?????
Lorenzo Kid, SASS#30214L Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 A pard of mine who's good friends with the owner of the range where Mule Camp has been held told him today that Mule Camp is moving from Georgia to either North Carolina or Alabama. Don't know if it's cancelled for 2010 or not. That's a shame, IMHO. The range owners spent a lot of money to make the range a first class venue for Mule Camp.
Guest Coyote Calhoun, SASS #201 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 To All It is with great sadness that I inform you that the Shootout At Mule Camp will not be held this year. I was just informed today of the final decision. I would like to congratulate all that have help put this match on for the last fourteen years. It took a lot of sweat and tears to put this match on for fourteen years and it has been one of the most successful matches in SASS history. Mule Camp was the match that other regionals we patterned after. The Shootout At Mule Camp has always been close to my heart because I help get it started and it was home. Unfortunately the match has come to an end but the SASS SOUTHEASTERN REGIONAL WILL CONTINUE ON. I have already contacted a couple of clubs that may be a good fit. SASS will make an announcement shortly as to where the Southeastern Regional will move. Again CONGRATULATIONS to all that put forth the effort so that so many could have fun.
Klondike SASS Life #29713 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Truly Sad, Mule Camp was always a fun shoot with great people. They have had some of the best and most copied stages in SASS. French Mistake will always be one of my favorites.
Madd Mike #8595 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 really sadd that is where I got the pleasure to meet my east coast shootin pards like widder maker hill
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I guess I waited a year too many to go. Very sad, I've heard nothing but good things about this event for years.
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Yikes! I hope this isn't a sign of the future! Regards. Allie Mo
Nooga Kid, SASS #28513 Regulator Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Oh No !! This is very sad news indeed. Shootout at Mule Camp was a legendary event that set the standard for other clubs. It'll be missed. 'Nooga
Doc Shapiro Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 That's terrible news. I shot Mule Camp a few times and always really enjoyed it. Big thanks to everyone that's worked on that match throughout the years.
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Yikes, what happened? THAT would be useful info......
Bulls Head Bill SASS#33692 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Yikes, what happened? The truth is an elusive commodity in CAS...........
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Interesting. I bet there's a good story behind this one.
Tom Payne 13115 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Mule Camp was my first big SASS match. It was 1998. There were 16 of us from NY on the same posse. Needles to say there were some concerned folks!! I made a lot of friends at Mule Camp over the years and I am grateful for that. In 2007 I won a buckle there, and that is one of my favorite trophies. To all that made it happen over the years a BIG THANK YOU!! I hope this is not going to be a on going trend. I do love this game.
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 The truth is an elusive commodity in CAS........... But the Wire is full of rumors, some true, some not, not even a rumor to chew on yet. If someone knows the truth they could stop the rumor mill cold. A few more posts and the rumors will start.
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 But the Wire is full of rumors, some true, some not, not even a rumor to chew on yet.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Mule Camp: the place where I got to meet and hang out for three days with MADD MIKE and shoot on the same posse with him and the legendary Lassiter. What a blast. Plus, I got to meet Possum Skinner and Santa Fe River Stan. Just a few of those great SASS memories. Thanks to all those who amassed unbelievable energy all these years in doing a first class job. ..........Widder
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 The truth is an elusive commodity in CAS........... Actually the truth the most elusive thing out there irrespective of CAS. Everyone has an agenda and puts their spin on the topic. Whether politics, religion, history, science you name it.
Wild Gene Hickup Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 The truth is an elusive commodity in CAS........... Is your tongue all swelled up form biting it so hard?
Long Hunter SASS #20389L Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Sad news indeed. Thanks to all that worked so hard to put on this great match. Long Hunter
Tucker T Fudpucker Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I have only been shooting for a year but signed up for SASS in 2008 at Mule Camp and enjoyed the experience of watching the shooters and visiting with the vendors, had to spend some money you know. I had just told my wife that I was going to sign up to shoot the match this year and then saw this thread, as my kids would say "What a bummer." Hope they can find another club that can handle a match of this quality. Tucker T.
ImaDarlin Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I have been going to Mule Camp since I was four, but I didn't start shooting it till 2004, It was one of my favorite matches and is my home gun club.
Lorenzo Kid, SASS#30214L Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I started shooting CAS in late 2000. I attended Mule Camp in 2001 as a conventioneer, just to see what a big match looked like. I was sold, and attended as a shooter every year since, with the exception of 2008. Always one of my most favorite matches! Sure sorry to see it end.
ImaDarlin Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 It should move to the North Alabama Regulators gun club! Just a suggestion..
Red River Ray SASS#33254 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Alot of good people were behind this match in tha past, Alot of good ones would have ran it on. Main thing is DON'T let this match die!!!!!! If you were from these parts, this was tha match ta win, and was never handed to anyone. For gods sake give it tha respect it deserves. Mule Camp (I BE DAMN) RRR
Big Rock, SASS #44055 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Hopefully the reason for the move, cancellation or what ever will come out; and soon.
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 This sucks... Mule Camp was on my "List".
