Shooting Bull Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Oh how I wish I could play this year. One of the best matches I've ever been to. If you like to shoot, this match is a MUST. You could bring your entire safe and they'd come close to having you use everything in it. If you think you've got enough ammo, bring more.

jrswanson1 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'd visit Cali for that if I had the money and time. Are those number the round count for that stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckhorn Bud Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Looking forward to seeing all of you who will be there. Gonna miss you guys who can't make it. I've read the booklet and it's gonna be fun. We have 10 great stages lined up along with lots of free side matches including a night shoot and our version of the "Wild Bunch" and the Great Train Robbery, I've shot the Great Train Robbery every chance I had since I first started in SASS and it gets better every year. M. C. Ryder keeps adding more to the fun.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hmmm...I don't have two of the required guns (Derringer and Bolt Action Rifle); but that side match is beginning to sound like an offer I can't refuse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Allie-YOU really need to shoot the TR stage. Fast times are 2+ minutes. You have flyers, movers, swingers and knock downs, along with paper. OH-Plus a 'Texas Star'......... No baseball bats allowed....... LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry Miss Allie. You are more than welcome to borrow mine. Almost everyone borrows at least one or two guns. My first time all I had was my cowboy guns. EVERYTHING else was borrowed. I doubt there are more than three people that have all firearms listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrswanson1 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How old do the military bolt rifles have to be? Are modern pocket pistols allowed? Are the 1911s mil-spec or can I bring my pimp gun? I need to plan for something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Bolt rifles up to and including WW2 from any country. LEAD BULLET AMMO ONLY P'pistols of the cowboy era? No S&W 'J' frames I use my old duty 1911 with adj. sights with no issue. How "pimp'd" is your 1911? No comps! Bring tons of ammo........

Nasty Newt # 7365 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 For the Train Robbery, if you don't have a bolt action and don't want to use somebody else's, you can use a SASS-legal rifle caliber lever action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy era pocket pistols? Negative. I have a nickeled RIA 1911 with beaver tail and commander hammer. Not WB legal, but no dots on the sights, either. I need pearl grips to completely pimp it out, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 The Great Train Robbery sidematch is my favorite sidematch ever! It has everything- cowboy guns, long range, pocket pistol and yes! More! all on one fun stage. I have not been able to get over there for the last couple of years, and with great regret won't make it this year, but maybe my daughter can take my place.... We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just George Match Director Ps Madd Mike, you are still the fastet clean shooter of the Great Train Robbery side match. Lash Latigo, you are still the fastest overall shooter of the Great Train Robbery (even with one miss!) Allie Mo, YOU CAN DO THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Another thing, is the fact we are not far from one of the great breweries you'll find. They have a "Mojave Gold" beer that's one of my favorites. http://www.mojavered.com/ IWBC also has an outstanding cream soda and root beer. Their restaurant, serves an outstanding prime rib that melts in your mouth. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really advertize the Mojave red but I like the gold much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Mushman Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Bud, Lumpy, Au Contraire. Mojave Red is by far preferable, but ONLY if sampled in the proper, DRAUGHT form. I agree that if you compare the bottled versions, the "Gold" is the preferred version. As a 19th century CAS afficiaonado, I find that irrelevant to the discussion - only the on tap versions deserve comparison! What I do agree with is that this is a do-not-miss shoot that will make you enjoy each and every shot from your 19th Century assault guns! Come shoot with us in the old west, where the old west history was actually made (see Robbers Roost)! Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Mojave Gold tastes so much better when I take it out of Buckhorn Bud's ice chest. My supply then lasts much longer. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckhorn Bud Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I wondered why my beer always lasted so much longer at home than at a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Skye, SASS #54791 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Don't forget the Cowboy Swap meet on Thursday, noon to 3. I have a few things that seem to have either grown or shrunk just sitting in my closet......however, I don't know that this swap meet will include BEER!!!!!!

Harvey Mushman Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Nevada Skye, If yer lookin' fer beer to swap, we may be able to provide some options, Lobotomy Boch is another VERY tasty one by our local brewery, and the alcohol content can be challenging (hence the name)! Not sure your closet grow or shink stuff will fit me, but I have been known to wear a Kilt from time to time.. Clan MacLeod, you know! Harvey See you here!

Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'll swap one Budmillcoors for two of Lumpy's Mojave Golds! That Lobotomy Boch is a very good brew too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
