Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Okay folks, here's the deal. With things being the way they are these days, if you even THINK you might want to shoot this match but can'y commit the dollars to it just yet, then send in an application ASAP and pay when you show up. How's that for a deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back 40 #23910 L Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 I will have a chronograph set up at the Kaskaskia Cowboys shoot this weekend. Of course, it will NOT be the official chronograph of MR. CHRONOGRAPH, (Shell Stuffer) but it will give you an idea on your velocity and power factor.

Shell Stuffer Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hey, you Wild, Wild, Wild Bunch Shooters. I'll be handling the Power Factor Testing for this match. (Don't worry, this ain't my first rodeo.) Since I'll be strictly following SASS' rules regarding the PF testing, every shooter will know exactly what is expected. It's so easy even Back 40 can pretty well understand most of it. Yes, I do realize I'll be almost as popular as a turd in a punch bowl. Oh well. Don't worry because this procedure will be much more pleasant than a colonoscopy. We would look silly wearing one of those "gowns" with our hats and boots. What would we name that category? Please contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the Power Factor Testing. 618-267-6952 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then on Friday evening on the range...We will have a chili cook-off. Just bring your favorite chili. Doesn't matter if you made it or your significant other made it or if Hormel made it, just bring 1 gallon of your favorite mess that you call chili and we'll all have a good ol' time around the campfire.

Ugly, SASS #18106 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 To everybody that had a hand in putting on this first Illinois State W.B. match I would like to say "thank you". I know there was a lot of work and aggravation with taking the first baby steps to put this match on; the W.B. matches to follow can only (hopefully) get easier. The stages were well-written and very doable, the target positioning was very good (clear fields of fire to every target), no procedural traps and a nice mixture of movement without being a cross-country field race and, the weather was just the absolute best too. I look forward to seeing all 'ya all real soon at the "Classic". Take care, rest up, there's still a lot of work ahead. (Ha, ha) Trying to bring a smile to all those tired folks what worked so hard so that my pals (old and new) could have a good time. To those folks who missed the match for whatever reason, try to leave time to attend this match next year, you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hey Dinger...It was great meeting you and welcome to SASS / CAS east of the Mississippi.

Silver Sides Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hey Ugly, I too was very impressed with the match. From arrival to departure I was very impressed with all the hard work that went into to making this a great match. Great weather, great stages and a great posse to shoot with. Mose and Bella and every one else involved were the best. Great job folks. Next year I am comming early for the RO course! You north of I80 boys were a hoot to shoot with and I look forward to seeing Huck and the rest of you soon. Ya'll have an open invite to come down here and we will bust some clays or ring some steel. Again THANK YOU to the hard working folks who did a great job putting this match on. Silver Sides "Get off the couch and get outside" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 This match was one Great match! All the Match Directors did an outstanding job and the stages were a lot of fun, yet challenging. It was great having Smokin Irons and Honey B Quick as our posse leader. We had an AWSOME posse!!!! Congratulations to all as they were all winners in my book. And may I say that my Pard Silver Sides is one fine Cowboy and competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
