StirrupTrouble Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks to those that came out for our recent Iron Duke event, and we have decided to continue the new tradition next year. The tentative date is October 15, 2016, and once the final date is formally approved, we will release entry forms. As with this year, due to staffing limitations, we will be limiting entries to the first 75 shooters, though if that fills up, we will accept a small number of standby entries The theme for this match is Randolph Scott, and all stages will be based on a scene from one of this movies. We will also be debuting the new hotel we are building at the park for the cowboy club. The movies we have selected for the match are the following: Jesse James Comanche Station Decision at Sundown Colt 45 Rage at Dawn 7th Cavalry Ride Lonesome Wagon Wheels Just as this year, all eight stages will be run in a single day, and awards will be presented to the top three in each official SASS category signed up for by September 1. The match fee is $50 ($60 if signed up after 9/1). As a thank you to those that are new to SASS, we are also offering a $5 discount coupon for anyone who first signed up for SASS membership in 2015 or 2016. We thought it might give you some incentive to try out an annual, and we wanted to thank to new shooters. When entry forms are released, the coupons will be available on our website, or you may contact me and I will email you a copy. Feel free to make as many copies as you would like, and share with any new shooters at your clubs. http://plattevalleygunslingers.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I attended this years Iron Duke match and it was awesome! Fun stages, great people, good food, and great facility. Awards were getting started by the time I finished putting my gear into the car. HERE is the playlist of videos from the match. I was a bit concerned about shooting 8 stages in a day, but it wasn't that big a deal, even for me. I did dial back my game a bit to pace myself though, but most folks wouldn't even have to do that. I reccomend that you keep the Iron Hero match in mind as you plan next years shoots, I know I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StirrupTrouble Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I know we are a ways out from the match. But, if you are planning on coming with an RV, we have somewhat limited pads with electric hookups, so even if you are waiting until it is closer to send in your entries, I would recommend that you call the park to reserve an RV spot. We are already getting camping queries. We have plenty of primitive spots, but probably only about a dozen spots with full services (we are trying to budget a little each year to keep expanding this each year now that the new entry way to the park is completed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Major, Is we gonna shoot black or smokeyless? Fast guns or slow guns? Oh wait, yore the fella what shoots them big ole slow guns faaaaaaaast. I'm gonna start callin' you Speedy McMajor purdy soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Speedy McMajor hahahahaha! I love it! Fun to watch him shoot, especially when he pulls his pistols and has to step back cuz the long barrels keep hitting the targets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 He has the distinct advantage however with that long barreled shotgun, long barreled rifle, and long barrel pistols at being just that much closer to the targets. He might be the only Classic Cowboy gamer in the universe. :) Nevermind the fact that he's just a good fast shot with all of his artillery.

StirrupTrouble Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Just a reminder if anyone is wanting to camp and would like hookups. We have plenty of dry camping spot but our spots with services are limited, and we have had some reservations already. If you need hookups, even if you are waiting to send in the entry, please call to reserve your camping spot so you don't miss out. I know some spots are already reserved, but we have a few spots left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
