Grizzly Dave Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I'm looking forward to the match Saturday at Pawnee Station Remember, 5th Saturday matches allow the Big Bore, Outlaw, Wild Bunch, Pistolero and .22 categories! If you didn't shoot the 3rd Saturday match, don't forget to get your 2011 Waiver Form from the website and fill it out and bring it to the shoot. Current forecast is half decent showing sunny, high of 38 with zero chance of precip, but we all know that forecasts are iffy at best. YeeHaw! Lets go shoot! Grizz
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Sounds good to me. Will be in Denver on Friday for work, so will bring the irons in case I get the opportunity to stay over a day. Hope to see ya there!! Regards Gateway Kid
Painted Filly Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Hope to see you both there!!!!! Painted Filly
Brother King, SASS #69031 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Who was the ROCKET SURGEON that cancelled the Sand Creek shoot on Sunday. What? The sun was going to be too blinding? How about cancel the shoot when there actually IS weather not a week ahead when someone think maybe there COULD BE weather. Sheeeeeshhhhhh Meanwhile, Briggsdale (where apparently there really are cowboys) went ahead on Saturday. It was a cold northwest wind, but no precip at all. The wind blew so hard that I watched all 100 pounds of Sonora Blaze wave around like a flagpole on the first stage! If you haven't been to Briggsdale Shootists lately then you're missing a great match. New attitudes, new stages, new targets and new MD's have really made it a challenging but very fun shoot. Targets are all close, big enough and straight forward.
Guest Sheriff Pack Wolf, SASS #31917 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I want to go easy on those guys and gals. They have to drag out all the steel and props, and set up each time, and put it away. They are a great group of Cowboys and cowgirls!! If it isn't in their best interest to have a shoot, I will take their word for it, and be thankful for the next shoot they put on. The new Raid schedule is going to be a good time. JUNE! Go Raiders!!

Oh sure... make me the bad cop... take the airey, fairey KUMBAYA moment.... sheeeeshhhhhh :lol: What about that poor bugger that got up Sunday- saw it was all clear, loaded his rig and drove clear out to EAST JESUS COLORADO? If I meet him, I'll be sure and send him over to see you for a refund of his fuel money.
Guest Sheriff Pack Wolf, SASS #31917 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Shooting last in your category must be weighing heavy on your mind. After Winter Range I'll show you bhow that Classic Cowboy is supposed to be done. If that bugger was you, I would get on the Raders mailing list and get the updates, as we all try to do in this cold, snowy, windy, last minute, climate. [i]Thursday, January 20th. "Howdy folks, Due to poor weather conditions, the Sand Creek Raider January Cabin Fever Match is cancelled. Please watch the website and your emails for updates as we would like to hold a make-up match in February. See our website for links to other clubs who may still hold a match this weekend or enjoy the last weekend of the National Western Stock Show! Thank you,"[/i] Like I said,.. they take good care of you. I like them, airey or fairey and singing Kumbaya. Pack

When we're down at Sand Creek I'll get all the CC's together and we'll sing friggin' KUMBAYA for you and have a group hug. :lol:

Guest Sheriff Pack Wolf, SASS #31917 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I was gonna go ,..but I was siiickk, Had the sniffles. Gotta watch the Pneumonia in these old guys don't cha know. I'm glad Briggsdale had a good match. It is encouraging. You let everybody shoot there, even Brother King ! Pack
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 It was blowing so hard here Saturday so cold I couldn't keep a cowboy hat on even with a stampede string. 7 stalwarts showed up. We all shoulda and wished we woulda stayed home with the smart folks. Just plumb plain mizzable.
Blazen Vaquero, SASS 69509 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Well Sonora Blaze and I were happy you all went ahead with the match at Briggsdale. It was windy alright but not worse than we have shot in other winter matches before and you won't meet a nicer group of Cowboys and the stages were fun and targets well placed, all in all a great match. Unfortunately Sonora and I can only make it to Briggsdale when the Sand Creek Raiders don't shoot (as the 4th Saturday is our setup day ---- normally) so it was great to get up there again even with the 100 mile each way trip.

Painted Filly Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I was going to come but I would have been running on 1 hour sleep and could not do it. I missed you guys Painted Filly

Painted Filly Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Louisiana, That is true. However I had to drive 3 hours to get there and I would be dead trying to drive that far. Kiowa had to work so would have been just me. So for safety I stayed home Filly
Grizzly Dave Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Filly, smart call I think. Take it from someone who HAS fallen asleep driving. Back when I was young and foolish and working third shift and not getting much sleep at all. Thankfully the only thing damaged was my car, and maybe a ditch along 287. Weather forecast now calls for sunny and a high of 48 degrees, zero chance of precip. Should be a great match! Grizz
Grizzly Dave Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Forecast now calls for high of 51!
Grizzly Dave Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Forecast still looking GREAT! Mostly Sunny, high of 53, ZERO Chance of precip, Wind: From NW at 5 mph Humidity: 42% Looking like it will be a great day to be out shooting! Grizz
Grizzly Dave Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 Late update. Forecast says SUNNY High 51°F Precip 0% Wind: From NNE at 6 mph Humidity: 38% Gonna be a great day for a shootin match, come on out and join us! Grizz
Grizzly Dave Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Cart's in the car and ready to go!
Brother King, SASS #69031 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Heck- it was 65f today and supposed to be warmer tomorrow.
Grizzly Dave Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Should be a ton of fun, think I'll bring a few more shotgun shells than last time Came close to running out two weeks ago. I've been thinking of bringing a big old sheepskin coat of mine to sell, but don't know that tomorrow would be the best day as warm as it's sposed to be.
GW Ryder, SASS #50690 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 The stars have finally aligned and the weather is right. I'll be there... GW
