Kiowa Kid, SASS #69870L Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 What? You didn't know about those critters they come out about dusk, so they are hard to see, thats why no guns in town after five, because WR has to have a few sacrifices to the rabbits so the Wx stays nice.

Slick Derringer Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm headed back for more. What time do they start working? I'm going to try and find my way over there tomorrow. ~~ Better yet, what time do they start eating donuts? I'm sure I can help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 The match starts two days earlier than normal this year to make sure the Wild Bunch shooters can shoot the WB match and then the Wednesday side matches and warm up matches to get ready for the cowboy action shoot. As a result, set-up also had to start earlier than normal. The people that have shown up this week to volunteer to help with set-up are unbelievable. Many are new and although the work is hard, everyone seems to be having a good time and the stages are already nearing completion. Vendors are starting to arrive and setting up and shooters are arriving and looking over the stages. With lots of radio ads and good press in the local newspaper in addition to a record number of shooters, it also looks like there will be a record number of visitors to watch the match, view the entertainment and to shop at the 100 vendors in vendor row. Don't forget, the Registration tent will be open starting at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 19, for shooter check-in and packet pick-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google says it's 7,098 miles. Show season this year has been a mix of long hours; sore feet; and a big smile. And now it's time for WINTER RANGE the SASS National Championships of Cowboy Action shooting. YEEEE HAAAAWWWW... Bet if I had a new GPS it would have been a shorter way to get here but I made it. The place looks fantastic! The weather is warm and forecast to stay that way! CHECK IT OUT! WINTER RANGE WEATHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cactus Cris SASS#2790 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Snakebite- that conjers up a vision!! Was out there today to set up camper-WOW the bar has been set way high. Not only are the stages well designed the props are beyond belief!! If the shooter don't get the feeling of actually being back in the "old west" while he/she is shooting, they have something wrong with their heads. Can you say "above and beyond" Zak and crew--beyond belief!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
