Dirty Chris Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I just recently got a travel trailer, so I'm looking for a good match to travel to sometime this fall. I was looking at the shooting events list on the SASS home page and the Southeastern regional at Givhan's Ferry is sounding pretty good. Anyone got any other suggestions of good matches within a reasonable drive from Ohio? Anyone I know going to the Southeast regional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 If Northern Texas isn't too far, Comin' at Cha is a great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Chris Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 If Northern Texas isn't too far, Comin' at Cha is a great match. That's on my list for "someday", but a bit too far for this trip. Actually I want to make it to all the different regionals at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copenhagen Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Last Stand in Jan. Ok I know Jan is not really fall but The Last Stand is one of the other great matches in the Southeast and its quite a bit warmer in FL than Ohio that time of year Cope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If'n you would like to shoot a great two day match in Kansas, the Chisholm Trail Rowdies are hosting their fall Kansas State Black Powder Shootout Sept. 10 &11. Details and application I have shot a a couple of their two day matches before and had a blast! Great bunch of fellas and ladies and a super fun match. Give it some thought, I do not think you'd be disappointed. I believe there is even free camping on site! DAn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hey Dirty Chris. ask Campo and he'll verify my post. you should seriously consider the TN/KY Blackpowder championships at Possum Trot. Ya don't have to shoot BP to be in the match. PLUS, the TN State match at Wartrace in October. Both are probably pretty close to ya and both are multi-day matches. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Howdy Chris, the Givhans Ferry match is a great match, plus Charleston is right down the road if you want to do a little sight seeing or salt water fishing. BP and Wild Bunch on side match day. The range is easy to get around, nice and flat, everything located in one spot, and the stages are all side by side. Col. Dan is always the key note speaker and well worth the trip to hear him. The shoot-off after the awards is a real hoot, come on down Jefro Relax-Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Wolf , SASS# 29424L Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ambush at Cavern Cove in N.Alabama around Grant, Al. It's about an 8 hr drive from Columbus. I was raised in Washington C.H. I don't know if camping is full but you can contact Uncle Frank and see. Go to My link You can also shoot the Tennessee State the next weekend, It's about a hour and half north. Blue Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If you have unlimited time,(like us who are unemployed) catch the Tennessee State Match at Wartrace then spend the next week or so camping around Tn. and Ky. and join the rest of us a Possum!! Ain't October a great month?? Actually you can't go wrong with any of the matches mentioned! Wartrace is my home club. It's where I started shooting S.A.S.S. and is one of the most beautiful ranges you'll ever see. It also has the best catered banquet food I've ever had. Of course I'm a little prejudiced. If you come and shoot with us once you'll always want to come back! Possum Trot is truly my home away from home. The Smokeout In The Hills is the premiere free standing Black Powder match in the country. It's a half a week of food, drink, contests, side matches, food, entertainment, partying, fun, drink, food, and .......... OH YEAH!!!......the best ten stages of smoke, soot, laughter, competition, and did I mention food? Hope you join us. Be safe! Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome if I could! Unfortunately I'm running low on vacation time at work so one or two more long weekends off work is about all I can get for shooting the rest of the year. So I'll have to pick one or the other between these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama Red Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ambush at Cavern Cove (Alabama State Match) is fantastic! You can get in a lot of shooting - 10-stage Main Match, 4-stage Black Powder side match, 4-stage Wild Bunch side match, a night Black Powder Shoot and all kinds of interesting side matches (I'll be running the speed pistol side match and helping out on the BP Side Match - come see me). There's always a good vendor attendance some free meals courtesy of our sponsors and unlimited story telling, visits with old friends, making new friends, the Bobcat Sparks Memorial Poker Tournament and the fun just goes on and on! Would love to see ya there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
