Kingfish Dave, SASS # 53158 7 Posted August 30, 2016 Howdy all I just received this From Bill Bonney Howdy, It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that that the 2017 Siege at St Augustine has been cancelled. Chuck and Missy have made the decision to not have the SASS State Championships any longer. Please join me in thanking them for a great 5 year run. We put on some of the most memorable State Championships in Florida. It is now time for someone else to take over. It has been my great privilege to have worked with some of the finest Cowboys that have ever drawn a pistol or paint brush. I have been one of the luckiest guys ever to have known and worked with you all and I have enjoyed every minute of our time together. SASS Cowboys a the best folks in the world. THANK YOU ALL, IT HAS BEEN MEMORABLE Happy Trails Bill Bonney Bill, Bard, the Mouse, Lil, Von Zipper and Scratch should be very proud of the event that they put on for the last few years. The amount of work that goes into the match is amazing. Hopefully some one else will step up. Kingfish Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L 177 Posted August 30, 2016 I cannot tell you how much this sucks! The annual January pilgrimage to Florida is one of the highlights of my year. Loved attending Last Stand and thought it couldn't be done any better than that, then Cope and Lil Miss started the Seige and I was floored. It is a match that will be missed, big time!

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L 177 Posted August 30, 2016 Oh, and a big THANK YOU!!! to Cope and Lil Miss. I know how much work goes into one of these events and I also know you guys poured your heart and soul into the match. It showed in the quality of the match, the quality of the props, and the overall atmosphere on the range. Never had a bad day down there. Well, my shooting could have been better , but even at my worst, it was still the best. Thanks again for your dedicated efforts and best of luck with your future endeavors.

Copenhagen 0 Posted August 30, 2016 I just got wind that Someone sent an email before it should have been sent. Yes we will not be holding the match this year but things are already in the works by a close group to have the match. Details were to go out in a post here and also an email next week. Me and Mis can't do the match here this year for a multitude of reasons, it sucks, but life throws things at you sometimes. There will be a post in about a week that will let everyone know when where etc. Details are being worked out now. Thanks to all and we are gonna miss y'all this year.

Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 169 Posted August 31, 2016 Copenhagen, Missy, Bill, Mouse, Zipper and the entire crew always did an outstanding job. I never heard a discouraging word from anyone whoever attend their state match. I want to personally thank them for all the dedication and devotion to our sport and the Florida State Match. I pray for only the best for all on that super crew. Again, thank you all very much for everything you did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badlands Bob #61228 1,558 Posted August 31, 2016 Sorry to hear the Siege is no more. I was just researching campgrounds last week near St. Augustine so I could come shoot it next year. I've always heard good things about that match. Sorry I never got a chance to shoot it. I'll look for word on the location of the 2017 Florida State Championship. Hopefully someone will step up and fill the void. Badlands Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
