Hells Comin Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Boardertown is is Sold Out 8 Months before the Match! Why do you think that is?
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 They listen to their customers? They put on a shoot that is BIG, CLOSE, FAST and FUN? And if/when they make a minor mis step - They are quick to assure that it won't happen again. Seems so easy doesn't it? Ya wonder why other annuals can't figure it out.
Chickamauga Charlie, SASS #47963 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 that match must be run by brain surgeons and rocket scientists but all i know fer sure is that I got my confirmation!!!
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Not only is it sold out, but the number of attendees ranks it as one of the larger state championships. It did take almost two weeks to sell out this year tho. Do you suppose that folks do like close, big targets with sequences that old farts can remember?
BrimstoneJerome Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 They cashed the check...........Game ON!!!
Hells Comin Posted March 25, 2011 Author Posted March 25, 2011 You would think that some of Regionals out here in the west would follow suite!
Wily Yankee Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Maybe it sold out so quick 'cause HELLS COMIN

Lefty Dude, SASS # 51223 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 They always say the Location is everything. Were else better to shoot, than Tombstone in October.
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Actually, Small and Far target matches sell out just as fast. Why take the shoot in...uhhhh...well how'z about the shoot over in....uhhhhh.... nevermind.

Palo Verde, SASS # 56522 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 It would be a fine thing to see EOT sell out sometime. .

Capt. George Baylor SASS#24287L Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I'm sure glad I sent my entry in the day I got it. This tells me 3 things: 1. People like big, close targets. 2. The Gunfight Behind the OK Corral was 130 years ago. Tombstone will be crowded that week. 3. They need more shooting bays so they can take more entries. I'll also note that if EOT was limited to the same number, it would be sold out. They can handle close to 800 contestants. Their entries are up from the same time last year.

Their entries are up from the same time last year. With all due respect - Bordertown is a "State" Championship and sells out 300 shooters in two weeks. EOT is the World Championship and cannot attract less than three times a state match? It aint all location - location - location. Sometimes the product you're selling is the difference.
Wylee One,sass # 53213 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 BIG AND CLOSE, that's what we like too!! Me and Tamale are coming and so are a bunch more from calif. It's a great shoot in a great place with great people to play with. FYI the Germans are coming too!! They said they had to see it for themselves!

EOT does have to overcome Location.....anyone that denies that isn't giving them a fair shake. Was it the best cowboy match I've ever attended.....NO....was it the best Cowboy EVENT I've ever attended......BY A MILE! It was still a pretty good shooting match. Stan - who is looking forward to EOT 2012
Lefty Dude, SASS # 51223 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Winter Range is the best Match in the World. BorderTown is the next best. I could be a bit biased, you understand. I have been to EOT, not even close to Winter Range.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Are you implying somehow that Tombstone AZ is a centrally located convenient location? It is if you live in Naco or Aqua Prieta.
Go West Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 A lot of fun for the money, great location, and 300 of your closest friends.

Great facilities, 1000 full hookup campsites. Beats CACs camping area. Will I be at the Open, yes. Will I be at CAC, Yes. And this year going for #3 at Possum Trot. Arizona is a little out of range.

Arizona is a little out of range. yea, the us open is a great one, but if u r plannin on shootin the open and cac, then u better sign up for the triple crown, for a measly 40 dollars more than the 260 u will spend to shoot those two u can join in the triple crown. shoot the midwest classic, along with the open and cac and get another great shoot at the sparta facilities and another great match run my mose bella and t bone. i advise u look into in, its the last weekend in april and u will not regret it

Tn Tombstone Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Well, lets get it back on track, I am going to Bordertown for my first time. Really can not wait. I have shot a monthly out there a few years back but was not able to get back out for the big shoot.(Plan on stopping by CaC on our way back.) Got RV spot in town. spending an extra day or two in Tombstone. I was born in the area but moved to TN shortly there after. I try to visit Tombstone at least once a year. Never works out but I try. Looking forward to meeting my new friends out West
Capt. George Baylor SASS#24287L Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 talk about hijacking a thread Yeah, it's not a.competition. It's not necessary to trash one event to talk up another. I want them all to succeed. I diesel was $1.98/gal. I'd make it to all of the matches mentioned. They're knot all the same weekend. Each one is unique. It's amazing that in the middle of a depression these events are thriving,
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 1)Bordertown is a must for me. 2) I would love to shoot Comin a Cha and plan to do so. 3) EOT had over 1200 shooters in 2006. But it had to be held as two different week matches. 800 and 400 the previous week.
