Chuckaroo #13080 Regulator Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 We are ready, willing and able to accept our visitors from everywhere. Weather has been hanging in the mid to upper 70's with cool nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Most Wanted Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Long range forecast says low 70s day and low 50s high 40s night for the shoot. As for the people more are good than bad ( I regularly fit into both categories). Stars and bars are polarizing these days but it is the Mason Dixon Stampede and as of last year the confederate flag was on the buckle so have at it. It should be a great time.

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Will I be shot wearing my Confedrate Uniform carrying the Stars and Bars. Enquiring minds want to know. Scratch Only if you venture into Baltimore, but then you can get shot in Baltimore just for being in Baltimore. Most of us are friendly sorts and believe it or not, Maryland has a split personality concerning the War. Many of us have ties to both the North and the South but technically Maryland is a Southern state as the Mason-Dixon line separates Maryland from Pennsylvania. It's less than a half hour from the range if you feel the need to step on the other side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Whiskey Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hey Scratch.....

You'll also be extremely happy when you see the cornhole boards at said location ! BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch Scratch, FWIW, it takes me 12 hours to get to Saint Augustine from my home and I'm an hour south of the Thurmont range. I think Gray Squirrel was in more danger wearing his Union blues at Givhans Ferry the other year than you'll be up here. :-) Have a safe trip up, Dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 To all our Pards heading into the Mason-Dixon Stampede, Safe Travels! Setup starts tomorrow and it looks to be a Great Match! Weather is shaping up nicely, things are all coming together, but I do need to give you all fair warning...... THE FRY GUY IS COMING! THE FRY GUY IS COMING! I figure if I stop eating now, and don't start up again until Wednesday, I will break even by the end of the Match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 FYI - I'm having a hands-on shotgun reloading seminar at the Stampede on Thursday at 11 am and 2 pm. Loading 3/4 oz. lite loads using Clays/Clay Dot on a MEC Jr. Sign-up is at registration. You can roll your own and try them at the speed shotgun side match. Will quickly cover the basics; I'll provide all the shells, powder, primers, and shot. It's a $5 donation to the SASS Scholarship Fund.

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Looks like long range forecasts are calling for the possibility of some rain. It's still almost a week away, but be prepared anyway. If you all are like me, and pack your cold weather, wet weather gear, it will be garennteed to be warm and dry with lots of sunshine. See Yao all soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
