Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I received an email from Confederate Colt. That we have 115 shooters signed up for Dark Days. That means only 15 spots left! Don't miss out on one of the BEST black powder matches in SASS. With that many BP shooters they will see our smoke from Disney World!!! So if you have been thinking about shooting with us, don't wait any longer. Come on over to the DARK SIDE!!! Cheatin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I am sure looking forward to getting back down to Florida. Was hoping to make our January run down for a week, even without the Siege, but got stuck at work when a software migration went south instead. Sixteen 14 hour days later, I get to poke my head up from the monitors. One of these days, I'm gonna host a "Computer Shootoff"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 We had a very good work day at the range in Fort White. They have made some very nice changes at the range. All the stages are able to work with the changes that have been made. We did some dry runs with the props and everything looks GREAT!!!! Confederate Colt and I are really looking forward to having all our cowboy & cowgirl friends over to shoot this match. Cheatin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confederate Colt Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I got to looking at some number this morning...... In 2016 EOT had 80 black powder shooters and Winter Range had 89. As of this morning A Dark Day On The Santa Fe has 98 registered black powder shooters and 117 shooters overall, with more apps in the mail.

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Page 4! How in the heck did this get to Page 4? Looks like everybody got busy after the first of the year, myself included. As I was unloading my truck from an event this weekend (Charity Auction for my home club) I was staring down at the box of 12ga AA hulls I won and realized that I only have 40 Days left before the match and I Have No Ammo! Holy Excrement, Batman! Looks like I better get my but in gear, or I'm gonna need one of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Dogmeat Dad it will be here before you know it! I had to get some help reloading for this match. I over extended myself loading for a lot of my pards that are shooting this one. A lot of them do not shoot BP. But really wanted to shoot this match. So I offered to help out. So my BP brothers helped me out!! We are up to 121 shooters the last time I checked. NASA will see our FIRE & SMOKE for the space station. Dogmeat Dad how much is that reloader? Can it handle BP? Sure does look nice!! Colt & I are really looking forward to seeing everyone in March. Cheatin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 What is it they say about buying a diamond engagement ring? Oh yeah, i remember, "Three Months Salary, it's not that much too spend on a lifetime (of reloading!)" But actually, I think the loader is more! Never fear, I will get it done in time for the match. It's tax season and there is nothing like doing taxes that makes me want to make Ammo! Dogmeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confederate Colt Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 The official count is in......as of this morning we are up to 125 registered shooters. 102 of them are shooting the holy black...... Rumor is that makes A Dark Day the LARGEST black powder match in SASS! There are still a few spots left, get your application in quick. Will you be able to say you shot at the largest SASS black powder match?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four Bucks #36386 Life Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Colt...that is a HUGE black powder match. Most places are lucky if they can pull 25 or 30. You guys sure are lucky to live in an area with such a big BP contingent. Good luck. See ya soon. Four Bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 WOW what a great shoot this must be..it's on my radar & hopefully one day it will come about..depends on that terrible word ..Finances''..just for your interest in Australia we only have 2 that I know of BP only matches, the Australian championship is the biggest & regularly has over 80 with the best over 100 , not sure of the exact count , this year will be the 20th Anniversary, would have been last year but unfortunately was cancelled. Have fun & wish we were there ! I'm thinking our organisers will be going to their record books to check their yearly attendances !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Dogmeat Dad: The King of Kaboom is one of the more popular categories at the match. Sometimes I think its about who is the loudest not the fastest! The same with Sultan of Smoke! These are so fun to shoot. I have been eyeballing a 10 gauge double barrel just for this category.

Cheatin' I've got an old Parker 10ga Hammered double that I need to get checked out before I shoot it. That and my set of Ruger 38-40's and '73 in the same caliber and I would be good to go. Just need to get caught up on some life issues before I get to spend the time on those. I Love Makin' Smoke! Probably one of the best times was at the old Last Stand in Kissimmee/Orlando in the Mission building. I seem to recall that we fired the rifle through the door way and then proceeded into the building to fire the rest. Early morning, cool but humid, perfect conditions. I swear, by the time I was done, the building looked like it was on fire. There was smoke rolling out the windows, the TO was hacking, the spotters had just given up, and It Was Awesome!

Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 We are less than a month away from the largest BP match in SASS. Be part of SASS history for 2017.

Cheatin' Chamberlin Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Last night I finished up loading for 6 cowboys & cowgirls for Dark Days. That's a lot of BP. Now I am ready for some shootin. After my car accident in September I had to cut down on my shooting a lot. I am still having some discomfort in my hand but it gets better little bit by little every day. So now I am counting the days down to Dark Days!!
