Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 We are pulling out tomorrow with several stops planned along the way to enjoy the country as much as possible. We figure to roll into the ranch mid to late afternoon on Thursday after 1900+- miles on the road. Sure looking forward to our first trip to Texas.

Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Had to call and cancel. Gotta love it when you get to work instead of attend HUGE events like this one. I know, I know: "It's better than looking for a job." But it sucks... Also, missing Hellfire this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Heading out in the morning. Decided the 17+ hours drive best be sliced into two days. Easier to chew that way. Sad that the Earp's will not be joining us as Larry has the flu or some such malady. Looking forward to meeting Wire and Facebook friends. And seeing old friends that I haven't seen since Black Gold which already seems like forever ago. I'm even looking forward to seeing Krazy Kajun.

Grizzly Dave Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 About 15 hours for us, splitting it in to two days as well so we can get to the Bar 3 early afternoon on Thursday, or that is the plan anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Noz will be able to hit the 8 foot chickens :D :D LOL, no pressure then.... I ain't even left home and already I've gotten beat by an 11 yr old girl! Good for her. Looking at my category, there's only one I ain't heard of, the others are way far out of my league, so I'll be just having fun bringing up the bottom of the category. It will be fun to just see a bunch of folks I ain't seen in a while. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Started getting things staged so I can load them tomorrow night. One more day in the office, a nights sleep and we hit the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished a 2 say annual up in Colorado some years back, shot cap guns, last stage was a clean match until I picked up my rifle & saw a case in the action.

Krazy Kajun Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Well...now that sure was a fun match. Many thanks to all of the hard working folks at the Bar 3 ranch that made this event happen. I made some new friends and got to visit with some I ain't seen in a while. I did indeed pass a good time....AND AND AND....I shot the chickens CLEAN!

Blackwater 53393 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I finally shot them damned chickens CLEAN!! With all that Black Powder and the 10 ga. shotgun besides, them critters is EXTRA CRISPY!!! Thanks to everyone involved in making this match a success, AND thanks to our VETERANS who attended this match!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Good match, good fun! Too many friends to see so I didn't get to spend time with some that I wanted to. Only saw the Griz long enough to say "Hi". Thought I'd get back to him but never saw him again. For those that didn't get there, the ALAMO stage has been named the "stage where clean matches go to die". New chickens are not a problem. Not anywhere near the devilish former chickens. It's not that I like the Bar 3 or TBone and his helpers or the range but I did put my application in for 2017 before we left Sunday. TBone said he thought he already had around 100 entries for 2017. I do think I made a new friend, Korrupt Karl. At least I think so. He badmouthed my shooting and I badmouthed his. I insulted him face to face and he returned the compliment. So were friends now?

Grizzly Dave Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Them dang chickens tore me up something fierce. Noz- sorry didn't get a chance to visit, my head was swimming after the long drive there, and the whole weekend was a blur. Just got home after 14 hours straight thru, I'm gonna be numb for a week.
