2017 Kansas State Championship.. "THE BATTLE AT BUTTERFIELD" **Update 8-15-17**

[Major Art Tillery]

Back up for another look.

 

Remember in conjunction with the Kansas State match I have issued a challenge to all Classic Cowboys... With the Classic Cowboy Showdown!  (see separate post for more info)

[Major Art Tillery]

Howdy folks... Still plenty of room for this great match!! Get those entries in... You don't wanna miss it!

[Major Art Tillery]

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW!!

 

GREAT NEWS, BUTTERFIELD GULCH JUST RECENTLY ORDERED 16 BRAND NEW SHOTGUN KNOCKDOWN TARGETS!  THEY WILL ARRIVE JUST IN TIME FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!

[Mustang Gregg]

 

Okay, I have it on the calendar.  Now I have to make it fit the budget. ??

 

We are heading to the Mill Brook Massacre (Hill City) the following week to meet up with our SASS shooting in-laws from Denver.

It's our annual family reunion.

 

I'm not real sure yet...I don't reckon we can do both matches.

I can totally understand the budget thing... But even with that being said I sure hope it works out that you folks can attend!  We got a great long range area if you enjoy that, along with some great additional side matches planned.  Sure hope you can come join us!

We sure appreciate the kind words!  Would like to have more folks come check our match out... So gets those entries in folks!!  Don't miss out!

[Major Art Tillery]

WANT MORE TRIGGER TIME?

 

Stay an extra day (Sunday October 1st) when you come down for the big match at Butterfield Gulch September 28-30th.

 

Since the Championship/Showdown is being held Thursday - Saturday this year... We are offering all those that attend to shoot again Sunday (just for fun of course) at no extra cost to you!

 

So bring some more ammo and join us Sunday for more great Cowboy Action Shooting!!  If you don't have to head on down the trail before then of course.

Plenty of room, get the entries in soon!

 

[Grizzly Dave]

Fun range, great people, awesome stages and shooting, what more could you want?

 

 

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

Recovering from shoulder surgery, Major. (Yeah, I went ahead and took care of it.) Recovery is going well, but I don't think I'll be far enough along to handle a shotgun by then. Hate to miss a great match.

Awwww man that stinks... But I am glad you got it fixed up.  You will be in top shape for the Black Powder Match in 2018 right?

 

You bring your cap pistols I can shoot for ya!..

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

Maybe I'll sign up as a buckaroo and use a 410. I don't have to knock 'em down, right?

Maybe someday you can make it back... Would love to shoot with you again.  

 

Yeah match was bad timing, with Back At Cha the same weekend.... T-bone throws one heck of a shindig!

 

Hope to see you down the trail!

[Major Art Tillery]

Still got plenty of room!

 

Remember we have a great long range right at our club!  We shoot out to 400 yds.  Rifle caliber lever, big bore lever, single shot, and buffalo rifle.

[Grizzly Dave]

They put on a heck of a match at Butterfield Gulch!  Go on, get in on the fun!

 

I shot the black powder championship there earlier this year and had a ball!  Sure wish I could go back for this one, but it's just not in the cards, or my knees this year.

 

 

[Major Art Tillery]

 Brand new shotgun targets for the match!  Sign up and help us break them in!  

 

 

[Tucker McNeely]
