The Traveling Gourd was all about Pale Rider Gunfighters and it is still out there (Ohio) but it hasn't been promoted like in the past. Correct me if I'm wrong Flush Draw but I think this new trophy is one that will stay at the PPR club with the IBPG winner's name added each year.

Buckles are nice.I think forgetting about the gourd that was started by Manatee who was a HUGE factor in there being a IBPG in the first place in leu of a new trophy just cause you made it sounds extremely self serving to me

 

I like Manatee and had no intentions a crushin anybodies feelins there pard. None!!

The gourd is missin and just wanted to do something nice. Sorry your feeln like Im kickin up dust to make myself feel good. That never crossed my mind.

Whoa, hold tha phone!!!!!

 

The Gourd wasn't a IBPG deal, and it is up to the present holder as to when and where it wud be put up for grabs. It was usually kept for a year before being put up again. I held it 2 yrs or so ago, it then went to Doc Eells and then Stonecreek Drifter. It was last won in Oct at the OH BP champeenship. SO, unless the holder wanted to he doesn't have to put it up for grabs til then or earlier if he wud so desire.

 

To call Flush Draw self serving for doing this is out of line and deserving of an apology!

 

To have it as a club deal is totally new and in my opinion pretty neat, specially if my name goes on it...!!

 

 

CCR, man up and offer an apology...

I too, echo what Flush Draw is doing. Manatee turned the reigns over to me when he was getting too busy and I've done the event for the last four or five years. The gourd was started by Manatee and I believe it started before the IBPG. At any rate Manatee knows he can shoot anytime at the IBPG at no cost as we all appreciate him starting and promoting the bp shoot.

 

Manatee was awarded the recognition in "Jedi" status as a pale rider for all of his work promoting the style of shooting and hence the gourd that he started to that end.

 

When Flush Draw offered up the large Wooden Bullet, I quickly approved as I, like Cheyenne, thought it was a good idea.

I'm gonna chalk this up to you not knowin Flush Draw personally. He's one of the most selfless an giving fellers I've ever met. Always tryin to come up with new and great ideas to promote our club and the sport of CAS as a whole. He's a pard to ride the river with fer sure.

I usually do not respond on topics like this, but Flush Draw is the last person in the world that would be self-serving. He has welcomed all new shooters, including me, and has not hesitated to help or give advice, even at personal sacrifice.

One of the best pards I have ever met, and I do not say that lightly!

Wow. I don't know if I can say what needs said here on the wire. But I will say: Thank you Flush Draw for once again doing something great. And thank you for everything you do for the club and more so for my family. Wish I could get my name on that there trophy someday. I WILL own one a them buckles! If you give them to 5th place................

Coy;

 

First, The gourd is missing and was only for the Pale Rider and was available from the winner to put up at any match....it just so happened to be at the IBPG the most. Second, the Thunder in Paradise is a combined shoot for bp and smokeless and the buckles have progressed from badges which we have used in the past for category winners. I've looked at the scores for the four years posted and I don't even see your name there.

 

....and you owe Flush Draw an apology which I hope you will do. We are doing everything we can to make this a nice shoot. Manatee did a great job starting this shoot. He trusted me to keep it going and I have for the past four or five years. If you have a complaint take it up with me and not just throwing stuff out on the wire.

 

The only thing Flush Draw is guilty of is showing up at the range all the time and working on stages, building props and cleaning, mowing and picking up debris from storms. Our club is blessed to have him and I take exception to your comments.

I appreciate your defending Manatee, but there is no need as he is in high standing at our club and I consider him a good friend and the last thing any of us would do is to disrespect Greg.

No worries, thanks for coming back on. Since the gourd has not surfaced....FD made a trophy so there would be something up for bragging rights. Sorry, if we got too defensive.....

Aside of what has or hasn't been said, here is the official position of PARADISE PASS on the topics above, from the Mayor's office (read Owners)

 

1). This club would not be here without the selfless sacrifice of many, including FLUSH DRAW, SHORT TERM, KORUPT KARL, FURBALL, LITTLE SIS, DUSTY DEPUTY, MICHIGAN SLIM, WILLIE GETUM, AUNT B, MAC MASTERSON, OPPIE DAISY, RAY L GUN, KAYA, TY, SLIP KNOTS, AND SEVERAL OTHERS.

 

2). FLUSH DRAW IS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS (WHICH I AM BLESSED WITH SEVERAL). ANY MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD THAT HAS A BAD WORD TO SAY ABOUT HIM, MIGHT AS WELL SPIT ON MY BOOT AND GET READY TO FIGHT. He puts in tons of time here at the club, expecting NOTHING in return, he IS the cowboy way ! NOT a selfish bone in his body.

 

3). Manatee is a dear friend of mine, I miss seeing him, AND HAVE KNOWN HIM LONGER THEN MOST.

 

4). I approve EVERYTHING for EVERYTHING at this club, so if anyone is unhappy with ANYTHING, the buck stops with ME. Call me, come face to face with me, email me, but it is between ME and the person that is upset, PERIOD.

 

4). IF anyone has a criticism, please see # 4.

 

5). Thank you again to EVERYONE that shoots here and for the amazing crew of Regulators that we have. I so appropriate ALL of you, and all you do.

 

6). FLUSH DRAW the bullet is AWESOME !

Stonecreek Drifter has the Gourd, he won it at Smoke in the Woods last year and has said where it will be up for grabs but I haven't been able to get thru to him this evening, most likely because of the weather here.

I've shot with Coy in past years and he's a good guy; sometimes our lives get a bit complex and shooting has to take a back seat for awhile.

 

He's apologized twice and explained why he may have jumped to the wrong conclusion. I can certainly see how he may have misinterpreted "forget the gourd."

 

Apologizing when we screw up is the cowboy way, but so is accepting another person's apology when it's their screw-up.
