Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Saw this thread hadn't seen any action for a while so I thought I would bring it back. Yesterday was a good day. After several months of minimum or no work being done in my ammunition shop, (family issue), I can say I finally got completely caught up. So today, I start on the New Thunder Valley Targets. I won't have anything coming in to the shop for another week so I can give this my full attention. I have enough stuff here to build at least three special targets. Prof, the two 3" targets will be first. --------- Talked with Rowdy and we came up with a plan on what to do with these... You should be able to write them in almost anywhere. When I get them built, I'd like you to come see them so you know how they will work. I'll let you know when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivory Jack, #8534 LTG Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I reckon I'll have to bring my puny little 12 gauge '87 out to play with all the boys who have 10 gauges - (ya think they're compensating for something? ) Cliffy - Put me down for the Monte Walsh category.

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Lumpy, I have zero messages in my PM file. And if you found a date for Last Stand at Chimney Rock, I'd like to know. It hasn't been set yet as far as i know. If you got the date from the RRBar web site, those dates where just place holders while I completely rebuilt the web site from the ground up as I do the first of every year. I hope to get the schedule this Sunday at the monthly match or at the Feb monthly meeting. Will up date the RRBar web site with information as soon as I get it.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Cliff, tried to PM you, and it sez you can't rec'em. Thought that meant your was full Of all the dang places, I found it in the clubs site http://www.rrbarregulators.com/RRBar-Events.html I do need to know the REAL Chimney Rock dates ASAP. Wish I had known they weren't the approved dates on the RRBar site. A notice of some sort on that page would have been nice. Cheers, LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sorry about that. I just changed the Events page to show the date is not set. Nothing on the web sit is set yet. The 2012 officers haven't even gotten together yet and the first club meeting is in Feb because the 1st meeting would have been the 1st of Jan. It was canceled. I have sent out e-mails to find out if there is a date for LSCR. As soon as I find out, I'll let you know and put the dates on RRBar site as well as here on the SASS Events forum.

Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well,....... six interesting stages are tentatively posted on the Brimstone site. There is a possibility of changes to come and the rumor of a feathered boa has also become a reality folks. The Mighty Tens are coming out as are the long rifles so it's time to decide whether to throw my hat in the ring. The thought of 18+ 10 gauge rds on one stage is just too tantalizing to resist.

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Jailhouse Jim is on the list. ------------ The stages lists now are only part of the stages I received. I don't have enough room on the range to use them all. Remember we have to share half the bays with the action pistol shooters. Not a problem because they use the bays with no props in them. We get all of the town. I'm looking over to see what I can do and I have time to talk to the action pistol MD to make sure what they plan to use. Looking over the stages not posted I see the Canon Ball stage may make an appearance. Maybe I can combine that stage in with another stage. As always, I will post updates and changes to stages when they are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've shot several matches that use two separate scenarios on a single stage. It worked nicely and kept movement between stages to a minimum. Maybe those other two stages can fit in somewhere with the rest. I guess I'd better get to loading some 10 gauge shells. You might come up with another all SG stage. I looked over some posts by the ever eloquent Professor Cubby Bear from last year. Cliffy, you can be a devious and evil man when it comes to stage writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I wrote the all shotgun stage for another match last year. Made a couple of changed to make it interesting for the BP match. All the other stages are written by Prof. I will make suggestions on one or two but it is up to Prof. It's his match. There will not be another all shotgun stage. You can shoot two categories if you want resulting in shooting that stage twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As "Stumpy" would say, "There you go again, always trying to blame me...." I wrote 7 or 8 stages for this one so we could pick the ones that go with the bays we get to use. We may blend a couple of ideas from stages left out to make the stages that we shoot as much fun as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Prof. Later today I'm going to print out all your stages so I can see them all at once. I then we can talk about what to do with them. You stage 1 is in because I built ground targets yesterday for it to make sure we have enough. The all shotgun stage uses several ground targets and I didn't want to be short of targets. This week I will be building the stands for the two special bonus targets. The targets are done but won't fit on standard stands and work properly. On Saturday while at Cajon I was asked about the Canon Ball stage. I noticed you have it in with your stages. I need to look as see if I will have a bay large enough to set that up. Remember we talked about putting it on an angle in the bay. That may work well in any bay. On the 12th of Feb I'll be at RRBar and will find all the parts to that target. I'll bring the target parts home and see if I can make it work on an angle. I really don't see why not. And for everyone reading this thread, Brimstone Pistoleros will put on an interesting match. Even if we have to make it up the morning of the match. ---------------- When was the last time you were at a cowboy match and had to shoot shotgun hulls off a fence rail wit your pistol? I don't have a stage like that written for this year but it only takes a couple of minutes to setup if needed. hee hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Here's a reason to change your mind about plainsman. The 100 yard target may only be 89 yards due to the firing line placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 100 yard target may only be 89 yards due to the firing line placement. SG shells on a post at 89 yds is still a pretty good poke with open sights. BTW, I am working on Howdy Doody so there may be two from the north country coming. I drive right past his house so there is no reason for him not to throw in with me.

Prof. Fuller Bullspit Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Excellent! Our old friend Howdy Doody is coming!

Box Herder, SASS 73857 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Looks like we are going to have a good, smokey time... can not wait. Bringing all the guns and loading them up to the top.

Coffee Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I found an extra box of 45/70s I want to keep Weedy and Ivory Jack honest in the Monte Walsh Catagory Auntie Emmy may come along, but I doubt if I can get her to shoot Black Powder Coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deja Vous Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Black powder? Isn't that the smelly, sooty, fire belching stuff? That it makes clouds of wonderous smoke and looks so, so, so cowboy? I would be willing to try it out. The match director will be cleaning the guns I expect. I have had a long standing dream of shooting that there black powder, so count me in please. Any chance of tossing those non stickable knives again? On my posse only one pard stuck one, infact maybe it was three. It was the dude that wrote the stage too. Go figure. Card splitting? I got mine with the second shot and have bragged about it ever since. Hey.. you are you going to come out and play again? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
