Ace Hanlon Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Only 20 days until my first Land Run in Oklahoma City. This will be my first airline trip taking my cowboy irons with me and I hope all goes well! Looking forward to the trip and a CAS event with 300 shooters.

Buffalo Bill Mathewson, 37826 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It will be worth the trip. Land Run is a shoot that brings shooters back year after year. BBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Fire, SASS 10064 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I shot Land Run last year for first time. I really enjoyed all aspects of this very well run shooting event. I met some outstanding people ( like we do at SASS events ) and engaged some very fun stages. The Saturday night banquet at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame was outstanding. Living in Northern Wis (with a 6-12 snowfall predicted for tonight) I make Land Run my first shooting event of the new year. Looking forward to the trip this year. This is one of those SASS matches that all should try to take in. Travel safe Marshal Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Cahill Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Great to have some first timers to Land Run. It will be a fun filled end of the week and weekend. Ace make sure you pack for Rain, Snow, and Sleet, there is no telling what kind of weather Mother Nature will throw at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This is a great match. Sorry I could not make it work out to get there again this year. Sure wish I could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace make sure you pack for Rain, Snow, and Sleet, there is no telling what kind of weather Mother Nature will throw at us. +1 And for temps between 20 and 90. I've been going for 10 or 11 years and it seems I've seen everything in regards to weather. Sometimes in a 24 hour period.

Bois D'Arc, SASS # 27951 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Ace, it's always an honor to have someone come from so far away to shoot Land Run with us. It must be difficult getting all of your gear to a shoot on the airplane, so if you need anything or if we can do anything for you from this end please let me know. Please don't be troubled by what these rumor mongers have said about Oklahoma weather. It's always beautiful here in April...trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to travel and shoot but as with most of us Pards, we do have some restrictions built into our lives like work, families, money and time off. Safe travels and I hope your Marlins serve you well. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Land Run has been one of my favorites for over ten years. The club/range has made SO many improvements over the last few years. Missouri Mae, Flat Top Okie, Stoney Cahill, Roy's Creek Dan, Bois D'Arc, and others have worked very hard to make Land Run such a grand match....and topped with a fantastic awards banquet. This will be my second year to miss but things happen in life (like surgery) so I am certainly hoping for 2015. You folks have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your surgery goes well and you are back on your feet soon, and I sure hope you can make Land Run in 2015. My best to you, Bois D'Arc P.S. As of today we are at 332 registered shooters.

Bois D'Arc, SASS # 27951 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Gentlemen, please, why all this pessimistic talk about the weather? Right now in central Oklahoma the sky is crystal blue, the birds are singing, the sun is shinning and there is a pleasant gentle breeze stirring the air. I just saw a robin with a grin on his face. The weather for Land Run will be beautiful...trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monco Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Forecast thus far for next Thursday is a high temp of 79° and sunshine. Besides, rain never hurt anybody, hail is just frozen rain, and the car is insured. It's all good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
