Guest Dusty Webster Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 When I was shooting at Cajon, Kalifornia and Park City, Utah... several years ago, stage writeups were being promoted. At Park City the writeup stories were historical events of the area. Since I love Western History, they were interesting. But now, nobody is interested.

Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I wrote a Christmas scenario once that required the shooter to drink a shot of eggnog before shooting ( off the clock!). I honestly had no idea, up to that time, that ANYONE didn't like eggnog... I have to admit, he cowboyed up and drank it, but was gagging and spittin' for the next 30 minutes.

Mustang Gregg Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Not to get off topic... Because I love the extry little stunts , but what I don't like are a big old story like: [simplified from original instructions] "You've been riding the Kansas prairie for days on end. You ride your horse into the town and you see Dirty Abe's gang. They call you a sissy and your horse an ass, so you holler, 'Go pick on some other sugar foot!'. Shoot them 10 hombres with your six-shooters before you get off'n your cayuse. And if'n you don't get shot; You dismount and go to the saloon winder and shoot 5 owl-hoots with your rifle. They you shoot 5 more owl-hoots through the other winder. There are more owl-hoots heading your way. You shoot them with your scatter gun. After you cleaned up the town, head west toward the sunset." I find them stories kinda confusing. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korupt Karl Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ridin a stick horse Shootin snakes (Pieces of hose) Carrying saddlebags Turning over blocks of wood to see what card target to shoot first. Rolling dice to see the order of the six targets Sittin on a buck board with springs in all four corners while they rocked you Puttin shotgun rounds in a wooden box and then carrying the box from point to point with shotgun last Puttin pistols in a safe Shootin under a wagon laying on your belly....hell, I couldn't get up now Sittin on a saddle on a barrel Layin in a coffin I enjoyed all of this when we did it,.and if people still wanted it we would still do it...but now it belongs at a fun day shoot and should be publicized before hand.....so people know what they are getting into. I shoot at a lot of different clubs and the attendance at shoots coincides with the target placement, size and the scenairos. Sorry about that, but the fact is people want to hear the steel ring and they want to be able to go faster.....nothing wrong with that. At some point the voices may say we want to go back to the way it was and if enough people say that then we'll be the first to go back. As we get older, slower, blinder and persnickety we like BIGGER, CLOSER TARGETS....I've heard it loud and clear. Just my too scents. KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
