T. A. Spurs, SASS #5419 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well here we are only 2 weeks away from this great shoot (man, do I need to get busy - I still have a ton of stuff to do ). I'm on my way to Sam's in a little while to get a bunch of stuff bought for meals and what not. We still have plenty of spots left for people to sign up so please, if you haven't yet and you are planning to attend, get those applications in the mail. We'll be ordering steaks for the fantastic steak dinner in less than a week so we need firm numbers!!! REMEMBER - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!!!!!

Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Dang.. I just found out our Grandson's graduation is that Sunday.. Lacey & I may have to shoot through on Saturday... I've never done this... Doesn't sound like fun ta me.. Sounds like a very long day.. If... We shoot though.. attend the Saturday Night Banquet, the Charity Auction after that.. and then head fer home....Whew!! Rance Thinkin' if I pull this off, I'll be a tired ol' puppy..

Count Sandor, SASS #74075 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Rance: I'm sure having you shooting through will not be a problem for us. You will be a bit tired at the end, but you can move through at a comfortable pace for you & Lacey. Shoot early in the order on your first stage, move to the next and get ready calmly, then shoot when ready. As long as Sis knows what you're doing, the posse leaders will be expecting you. If you keep up that pace, it really isn't all that bad. For the last two years at Fall Round-Up, the worker posse has shot through 10 straight on Thursday with only 3-6 people shooting...now THAT is tiring! FWIW, if you need nap time between the end of the shoot and the steak dinner, you're welcome to use my trailer. CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks Count... sounds like some good advice... Already notified Sis and they are OK with it too... Nap time.. well.. It will probably be back at our motel ta get ready fer the banquet.. Rance Thinkin' yer camper is sure nice and close though... Thanks again.. See ya all Friday fer side match day... Edit: Just was thinkin'.. I won't have a motel room fer Saturday night.. Count... here we come.. thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awfully inconsiderate of schools to have graduation during the Charity Shoot Marshal , Thinking that after all that, you'll be too tired to go to the graduation on Sunday, Chance Morgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. A. Spurs, SASS #5419 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Have to bump this thing back to the top one last time. We put posses together last night and all the shooter packets are ready to go. Ended up with 158 actual shooters - sure hope everybody shows up. This is one of the greatest matches there is (a 2 day shoot for $20 is unheard of) and it's for the best cause in the whole wide world - what can be better than saving children's lives???!!!! We raised $45,945 last year - hoping to beat it this year - wouldn't an even $50,000 be nice???!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!! Shamrock Sis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. A. Spurs, SASS #5419 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 This just in - Back 40 has volunteered to run a 3 stage Wild Bunch match for us on Friday, May 23, 1:00 pm sharp. Cost is $5. Total round count for the 3 stages is 60 pistol, 30 rifle, and about a box of shotgun. And you can use .38 rifles. Sign up when you pick up your shooter's packet.

T. A. Spurs, SASS #5419 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 btt - for the kids!!!!! Paper work is all done - setting up the stages at the range tomorrow - working all week at the range to make sure everything is perfect. Weather doesn't look too terrible - maybe some very scattered showers on Saturday but definitely not the wash out we had last year. Can't wait!!!!!!

Rev Willy Dunkum, SASS # 61027 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I can't wait, this is one of those that is a "have to go" match for the kids. We promoted the match locally yesterday at McLean County Peacemakers as well. My wife is even considering going! Wow! Rain, sunshine, cloudy or smelly cowboys, we're going to have fun for these St Jude's kids. Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Duncan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Turn signal fixed on Gray. Don't want to give any of those Yankees an excuse to pull me over since I'm carrying an arsenal of a rifle, shotgun and two pistols. Gray's bed cleaned out. Cleaned and reassembled '66 worked flawlessly yesterday. It's ready to go. Hotel reservations, confirmed. 5 more days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Just checked the ammo count. Need a couple more boxes of 12 gauge for the grannie annie side match. Looks like a hoot. I even talked my wife into attending the steak fry (She met TA Spus two years ago and skipped last year????). That's my story and I am sticking to it.

T. A. Spurs, SASS #5419 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Work day yesterday was very successful - we had a great worker posse turn out (thanks to everyone who was there) - got all the stages set up and ready to go - got a trailer rented to store all the great prizes we have for raffle and auction. Today is table and chair washing and once the tent is set up Thursday and all tables and chairs set out and side matches set up, we'll be ready to rock and roll. Just 3 days to go before the most generous folks in the world do their best to save another child's life - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!!!!!

Matthew Duncan Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 My Indian Scout Tomtom took right to the range. Beautiful setup! Great supper. Fantastic brownies for desert.

Matthew Duncan Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Stages require some thinking and very very fun. Lead gods where with me the first 4stages, no misses. Stage 5. Two pistols targets. 1 on 1, 3 on 2 and 1 on 1. I did a 1 - 3 and holster, what's the posse screaming about?! A lightning draw sent the 5th round down range, DING! Take that you blasted Yankee! Pulled the second pistol and the first round went down range somewhere, blasted target placement cost me a clean match. Lunch was unbreaded tenderloin about the size of Texas! No brownies. But I have by a high authority tomorrow there will a special batch waiting for me. Rode back to the bunkhouse to clean up a bit. Got 2 hours before the Steak supper as long as I stay wake zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry County Jr. Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It was a great day with a lot of good shooting. I got a chance to talk to Matthew Duncan while waiting in the grub line. He seemed a little skittish when I mentioned seeing his posts here on the wire; he thinks people take his posts too seriously. Anyway, it was good meeting him. I'm looking forward to another great day of shooting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 What a great week-end. Good Food, good stages, good weather (finally) and great people. Always nice to meet new people. But the best thing is that over $40,000 was raised for St. Jude Children's Hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. A. Spurs, SASS #5419 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The official total being sent into St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is $42,000 - we can't even believe you great cowboys and cowgirls did this again - you are the greatest people in the world!!!!!!! We sincerely hope all of you who attended had a good time - THE KIDS THANK YOU - AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!!!!!! Shamrock Sis and T.A.

Granny Annie SASS #37063 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Matthew Duncan was on our posse. He loaned his shotgun belt to our grandson so he could shoot stage 8 easier. The Acoustic Kid was happy and I was impressed. Thank You, Matthew Duncan!!!!! Thrilled we were over $40,000 again. Yippeeeee! It was an awesome weekend.
