Frederick Jackson Turner Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Whatever you have heard, remember, or think you know, trust me, EoT has become the gold standard of matches. There is something to do, literally every minute that you're there, day or night. If you're a competitor, it has become one of the best, most enjoyable matches in the world. You can see how your local talent ranks among the best shooters in the world. You will posse with guys and gals you've always read about, see what great folks they are, and how they go about the business of being a champion. You will meet shooters from all over the world, and see how far they have brought the sport we enjoy so much. If you want to shop, you'll find every single thing that you need for our sport. There is great entertainment every night, When you can't take any more, go back to your campsite or hotel, and sit and tell tales with friends, new and old, from all over the globe. Trust me, it's worth your time, money and effort. I'm going, and I hope to see you there. Cheers, FJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosscut hardy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 My thank you in advance to all Waddies for all y'all do. I may be one of the cowboys needing a lift a some point, hopefully not, but will surely be appreciated if needed. sincere thanks, ...crosscut hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar_slinger Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 One thing that is hurting sports like SASS is the lack of powder and components to load. First it was primers which seem to be coming back some now (more expensive than before but at least on shelves). Now it is powder. I haven't seen a can of 231, Unique or Tight Group for over a year. I'm down to my last pound of Unique and when that is gone, the only way to replace is to buy from scalpers for north of $50 per pound. The conundrum is we don't want to shoot up our supplies because they can't be easily replaced, but on the other hand, what good is a couple hundred rounds of ammo that you won't shoot? Outside of muzzleloaders, my shooting has gone way down. Used to go through about a brick of 22 per month. 22lr if like gold now. Have about 2,500 rounds and won't shoot any unless I can find a box to replace. I have always kept 2,000 - 5,000 rounds of 22 on hand for years and years. Being down to 2500 is low for me. Sorry bout the rant, not really EOT related. I do think there may be some relationship between availability of components and participation in matches.

IF YOU HAVE friends you will have access to components "yikes-just sayin" what do you need perhaps folks will meet you there with stuff "I know that I WOULD" this was a EOT post, be there or be ? you will have offers.....................................................................and pms if you are sirius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting that if someone is seriously wanting to go to EOT and shoot the match they can get the goods to make up the ammo. Should anyone need 44-40 for EOT and that's stopping them from going just send me a PM and I'll have some for you at the gate. See how easy that was?

guitar_slinger Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Guys, no doubt if I was out of supplies there would be cowboys lined up to help a fellow out. Haven't shot my first match yet (Saturday is the day) but have been spectator at a few and the generosity, friendly competition and good natgure of all involved is what has drawn me to yet another shooting sport (as if I really needed an excuse to buy more firearms). As it stands, I have 1 lb Unique, about 80% of a pound of Universal and plenty of primers. The general observation is I have cut way back on my plinking and practice shooting to be sure I have enough components for the competitions. Running low but I have enough to get by for a while longer and I'm not going to be asking friends (and soon to be friends) to part with their hard to find supplies while I still have enough to last me for a while if I'm conservative in how I use them. I'd rather see the help go to a fellow who was totally out. Jeff - Guitar Slinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
