Boben Weev Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 We are one week away and busy as beavers here on the range at Sparta! There is new, fine rock on the walkways. The stagecoach stage has been completely reworked, courtesy of the Kaskaskia Cowboys with the guidance of Wagonmaster Ward. A new office building, small but much needed has been added, with a new side roof and 3 windows for registration. The cemetery has been relocated. Mose and Bella are working non-stop to make this a great event. From the shooting to side matches, to the Wild Bunch, along with parties, games and a county fair, its going to be a great time! Don't forget to bring your home canned pickles, home pies and cakes to be judged for prizes and bragging rights! We also look forward to our guests from SASS, Misty Moonshine and Amber Oakley being with us. So, ya all come. Don't miss this one. It will be great! There is still time to register.

Kid Drover Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Trickery, nothing but trickery!!! I figured out how this works now. Talk about Gamemanship! Ya'll get me so excited about going, I won't sleep until NEXT Friday night on the 2nd of May. I will arrive all drug out and tired with no ability to concentrate. I won't be able to see my front sights much less the targets. Of course we all know, I didn't have much of chance anyway, so all of these underhanded activities, like having Pristine Props, Superior Scenarios, Fabulous Food, Friendest Folks, Wonderful Weather, Perfect Parties are just wasted on me. So, the question remains: "Who are ya'll really aiming all this underhanded, devious, hard work at??? :0) KCD P.S. Why is all the tool bar "greyed out"?

Back 40 #23910 L Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The range looks GREAT!! The small chat rock on the walkways are going to feel gooooooooodddddddd on some tired dogs at the end of the day. And just in case you haven't heard it from anyone................bring a bunch of shogun shells for the sidematches.......... and YES, YES, YES, 20, count'em, 20 .45 ACP pistol rounds on each of the 4 Wild Bunch stages!!! These are going to be FUN, FUN, FUN!!! (How can you move a cemetery? That's allot of digging with a backhoe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone SASS #36388 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I can't wait till the U S Open well wait?????? I guess I can !!!!! !I think it's a great low budget cowboy action range.

Bella Spencer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just a quick update. The category Silver Senior Duelist is now available at the U S Open. If you would like to change to this category please send me an email to kalexa3@yahoo.com and I will get you changed over. Another posse list will be posted on facebook this afternoon or in the morning as soon as I can get Mose off of the range chores. LOL This match is shaping up to be a great one.
