Several years ago...........my Pal "The Jailer" and I were shooting the SASS Convention match somewhere out in the desert.

 

"The Jailer" has pestered me for months that I had to drive our gear out there so that we could "Shoot a Nevada Sweep in Nevada!"

 

I had driven "The Ballgown Express" over 1800 miles to get there!

 

When the bus dropped us off at the range......the wind gusts got up to 50 miles an hour.

 

:ph34r:

 

The wind blew our guncart over 4 times.

 

My 97 got so gritted up I had to blow it out between stages to keep it running.

 

I had to actually use "Kentucky Windage" to keep the bullets on target in the wind.

 

It was pure survival. :angry:

 

As we neared the last stage........"The Jailer" was sitting on the guncart.........his hat was tied onto his head with a bandana...........he was turned to shield himself from the gusts of wind and the sand blasting grit it carried.

 

I walked up behind him and shouted into his ear "Hey Jailer, we're shooting a Nevada sweep in Nevada!"

 

He turned to me..........SCOWLED at me with every muscle in his face and replied..............@%#* YOU!!!!!

:D

Don't know why he was so sore........just gave the Cowboy what he wanted. :o

This is a great time of the year to visit the Eldorado Cowboys and the range in Boulder City. I've been there many many times and for the most part it's usually very nice to just a bit to windy. Nothing has ever made me wish I wasn't there.

 

The range is almost as great as the club members. They will, and do, help the out of state visitor enjoy the convention.

 

Give 'em a try, you won't be sorry, and like so many of us, you'll be back.

Take 'em up on the invite, folks. The Eldorado Cowboys are a great bunch to shoot with. Finer folks you won't find.

Doesn't look like we can go this year. :D Bummer.

Say "HI" to your lovely lady and the rest of the gang for us; please; Ace.

The Week Before The Convention!!! I'll be trying to figure out how I'm gonna get all of Lil Feathers stuff into the 3 or 4 suitcases we are allowed without exceeding the weight threshold of the plane!

 

Can't Wait!!

The range is about 20 miles from the Riviera.

 

Directions

 

You don't have to cross the Dam Dam anymore.... Your tax dollars built a bridge! (It took longer to build the bridge than it did the dam)

Before there was a convention, Calico & I enjoyed the Shoot Out at Purgatory Flats on Thanksgiving weekend. That would be the weekend before the Convention. Is it still held? THAT was FUN match, with snakes & tomahawk throwing and all kinds of stuff!

 

Buena suerte,

Stay home and save $$$ for other shoots! I have no desire to go to Vegas!

 

Let me add that I have shot with both The Eldorado Cowboys and the Paharump club and had alot of fun, just don't see any point in the convention! I have enuff clothes so don't need to shop, have the best teachers of shooting right here at home, don't gamble so no need for Vegas.

Wrong state. The Chicken Ranch was in Texas (so I've been told :rolleyes: )

 

I think out there, it's the Mustang Ranch (so I've been told :angry: )

That's this coming weekend! Both Saturday and Sunday.

 

Two days of real bullets vs hard steel.

Yes, the answer is easy, but it isn't going to a local shoot!

The Cowboy Christmas at the LV Convention Center and the Country Christmas at the Sands Convention Center open this week end as part of the festivities surrounding the NFR here in town, so I say "Go Shopping"!

Posted

We shoot from 9:00 AM till about 12:00......

 

That should give you the whole afternoon for SHOPPING!

Posted

Tomorrow we will be setting steel for you early arrive-rs to the CONVENTION.....

 

We start shoo-tin on Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 AM sharp.
