Major Art Tillery Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Come on folks... Make plans to join in on the fun at BUTTERFIELD GULCH!! Black Powder and Smokeless Shooters Welcome!
Buffalo Bill Mathewson, 37826 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 How many shooters do you have so far.
Major Art Tillery Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 I will have to check with Flint Hills Dawg.... Last year I think the majority of entries showed up in March. Alot of Kansas shooters sign up last minute it seems.
Major Art Tillery Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 How many shooters do you have so far. Looks like only 12 signed up so far... But the next couple of months is when we get most of them. Heck even I have not gotten mine in yet... So far we got folks from Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska. I know some folks from Colorado, Wyoming, and Arkansas are coming as well. Should be a great turn out when it comes down to it.
Noz Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 It will be shooters choice on powder for side matches. If you wanna shoot smokeless then do it, ifin you wanna shoot BP then do it!!! The only exception is the long range buffalo bore rifle must be in BP. How long is the "long range"? I have a trapdoor with original sights so looooong range would be out of the question.
Count Sandor, SASS #74075 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Looks like only 12 signed up so far... But the next couple of months is when we get most of them. Heck even I have not gotten mine in yet.. . So far we got folks from Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska. I know some folks from Colorado, Wyoming, and Arkansas are coming as well. Should be a great turn out when it comes down to it. Hope you folks can put up with a shooter from Illinois...mailed my entry yesterday, and signed up for the Frontiersman Posse. Looking forward to meeting several of the folks from here on the Wire, and catching up with those I've already met! CS
Fingers McGee Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Be good to see you again Count Fingers (Show Me MO smoke) McGee
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Hope you folks can put up with a shooter from Illinois...mailed my entry yesterday, and signed up for the Frontiersman Posse. Looking forward to meeting several of the folks from here on the Wire, and catching up with those I've already met! CS I am at that delicate age where I don't always remember who I have met!! I don't think we have shot together and I am looking forward to it because I enjoy your posts on the Wire! If we have met before and I have forgotten, please forgive me, but I am still looking forward to it!! Major, don't worry about the head count; I love smaller matches where I have a chance to meet all the shooters. And then maybe forget them!!
Major Art Tillery Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 How long is the "long range"? I have a trapdoor with original sights so looooong range would be out of the question. Long range events are anywhere from 100, 200, 300, with BIG buffalo at 400yds!
Major Art Tillery Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Will be great to have you join us Count!
StirrupTrouble Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 I look forward to seeing you again, Count. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with you at Iowa State last year

StirrupTrouble Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Looks like it will be a interstate shoot. When there is a group as great as the Butterfield Gulch Gang, it is easy to see how they draw shooters from all over
Major Art Tillery Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 When there is a group as great as the Butterfield Gulch Gang, it is easy to see how they draw shooters from all over Thanks Stirrup Trouble, we appreciate the kind words.

Buffalo Bill Mathewson, 37826 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Counting my balls and checking the powder keg. I can't hardly wait to head to Kansas.
Flinthills Dawg Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 I have to relay some information on the night shoot at the Kansas state BP match is not gonna happen this year. Hopefully next year we can make it happen. Dawg
Buffalo Bill Mathewson, 37826 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Oh man I like fire and smoke at night. I bet we still have a good time. Throwing balls of fire and smoke is always a hoot.
Major Art Tillery Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Oh man I like fire and smoke at night. I bet we still have a good time. Throwing balls of fire and smoke is always a hoot. I Bet!... Some day I hope to try Frontiersman! I always enjoy watching those that shoot the category.
Grizzly Dave Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Major Art - I'm still a definite maybe... just not sure how the cash is gonna line up just yet. Ol' Stirrup has kept after me to come, which given my short attention span and short memory is a good thing
Grizzly Dave Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Come on Dave, Be good to see you again. We'll see how it works out, I have the time off work penciled in, just with the wife not working I'm not sure how the trip expenses will shake out so far ahead of time. Plus I have to plan to hold back enough gold dust for BaC in September.

Dantankerous Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Last time I saw Monco shoot, he was shootin' slow guns fast. He's accurate with them cap guns and smooth with the '87. Monco, I've got a big Ole 1860 yer welcome to use if'n you want to complete the gun ensemble for max style points.

Monco Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Only thing for sure is category, Frontiersman. Hopefully it is the largest category as well! Lets see......the Walkers would be fun.....if I could get them out of my holsters and keep the barrels free of dirt from dragging the ground when not in use.
