Stumble Leena Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I had the BEST time at Ruckus at Red Rock in Hurricane/St George Utah. The stages were quick and fun! The food was good and the creamed Ice Cream was to dye for! Second Fiddle Sue and Blastmaster (MD and assistant MD, ) did and a terrific job, couldn't ask for more than that. Nice people, nice posse, and all around nice match. Thank you to all the Dixie Desperado's for a job well done. Stumble Leena + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruff Cobb Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The Rukus this year is going to be a tough act to follow by this or any other club. Several very experienced shooters adopted a bunch of successful match elements and put them in one outstanding match. Congratulations to all for a great event.

Blastmaster Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 There were more shooters at the Ruckus at Redrock than at the Stampede. Both events on same weekend. Reason??? Must have been the ice cream vendor that Stumble Leena mentioned. Yes, ice cream was very good. Thanks to all 135 shooters and the guest that attended. You folks, made the match the sucess that it was. Blastmaster, PS, I believe 'all' official catagories were reconized in the main match awards, irreguardless if there was only one, which I think the smallest had two shooters..

Blastmaster Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Did you hear that nine (9) firearms were opportunity drawing(1)/given(8) away at this match? PLUs numerous $50/$25 certificates and boxes of bullets as door prizes. A Chronograph and gift basket too. Heck, door prizes were handed out left and right at the side match awards (ribbons and paper awards) cerimony on Fridady afternoon.

William Waddy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 And the scores were all available online before the banquet food got cold. I hate waiting for scores, so it was great to have them available to peruse as soon as I could get to a computer. Oh, did I mention that I do the scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate waiting for scores, so it was great to have them available to peruse as soon as I could get to a computer. Oh, did I mention that I do the scores Thank you WW for doing the scores. I truely appreciate your super quick turn around time on the scoring. I still am amazing at how you could enter in 135 shooters, shooting six (6) stages (final day) in what??? less than 4 hours? On top of that,,, MC the awards at the banquet the night of the final day of shooting. Awesome job William Waddy. Just simply awesome and he used his own scoring program. Thank you too for MCing the banquet. You and Second Fiddle Sue were a team and kept the awards plus door prize give aways moving along at a good, but respective clip. Did you see from SFS survey that the vast majority of the entries got their match info from the Dixie Desperados Website...... which...... BTW,,,,,, you maintain... William Waddy, what a remarkable cowboy and club member you are. Salute. Blastmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastmaster Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 DANG I wish I'd been able to join you. Oh well, will definitely make room on next year's calendar. One question though, the Assistant Match Director won top overall??? How does THAT happen??? (Oooooo I'm a baaaaaad boy. ) Ahhhh!! Assistant Match Director had the foresight to select the very best, most strongest Posse Marshals/RO's that attended the match to lead, guide and mentor the nine (9) possees. There was a Posee/co-posse walk through where the stage was read, intent of stage was discussed and all the cans/can-nots of what a shooter could do was discussed and agreed upon. On top of that, Assistant Match Director wrote the stages where there were no doubts of how to shoot it. Transilates to,,,, Assistant Match Director did not have to make the YMTC, calls. As well, the stages were written to be fast, close, easy, fun, variable, room for lattitude for the experienced shooters, straight forward to all. with all that, Assistant Match Director was able to focus on shooting and not be bothered with match stuff. The hardest stage was an optional reload of one round of a pistol and shooting at a large target 12feet away stage. Yes, a shooter commented about doing this optional reload. there you go.. BTW, Assistant Match Director wrote the stages from 400 miles away without the benifit of shooting any of the stages on site. I knew from a photo, how may doors/windows/stumps/hay bales per stage and number of targets per bay. Blastmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your overall win and I knew the match was gonna be fun just by all the hard work you and Second Fiddle Sue put into it! Kudo's to all who helped you put it on. Regards Gateway Kid Thanks Gateway. I was in my grove and I left nothing on the table. You would have had to shoot your best to go around me. You are capable of doing just that. As you know, help putting on a match is exhausting and that perhaps actually helped me, my aderaline was tapped out and I was calm, at peace and in the groove. BTW, I first thought that I would not be able to shoot the match because of the responsibility of making sure the match ran superbly. Match did, I did, the plan came together. BTW, I did not RO, I had a very capable shooter take that job and he did it well! He also passed the timer off to equally capable RO's.
