Tn Tombstone Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Bo, I would not be surprised at all if there was an Outlaw Match. If Joe asked for one then yes there will be one. Probably shoot it Thursday morning if I had to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tn Tombstone Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Plenty of it and always good. Not sure what Copperhead has planned but we should have pulled pork one night, fried fish one night. Seems we brought in some pizzas one night, I will probably fix burgers and dogs one night. Maybe shrimp one night, ribs one night. I will be there for a week by the way.

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I mailed my application for myself today and for the first time ever, my son is going to be with me and going to shoot his first ever cowboy match. After a tough week of negotiation with his mother, he gets to come and stay with me in Alabama for the first time and then we will be headed to Black Gold for his first match. He will be with me from July 3 (his 16th birthday) until the July 22 and I will have several days with him at the range teaching him how to shoot cowboy. I have gotten him to shoot some trap 3 or 4 times and this is the first time since he was about 5 years old that he will attend a cowboy shoot. I have never pushed him to try cowboy shooting and he decided that he would try it and the hard part was getting permission from his mother to let him stay with me and shoot. I am now looking for a camper as I would like to stay at the range if possible as the closest hotel is overbooked and the other hotel in town I am not comfortable having him with me staying there. He needs an alias so suggestions are welcome. See you all soon. Maddog McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Black Gold 4 times and stayed at hotels in London all 4 times. I would not hesitate to take any of my family and stay there.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Motels will work but camping on the range is the best. Get a tent and a couple of cots and you'll be good to go. Or you could be like Hurricane Charlie and just show up with a truck load of lumber and build your campsite. Hurricane Charlie has since upgraded to a camper. He just might have his old domicile available. Some assembly will be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tn Tombstone Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Only 5 more weeks, Whiskey Creek is talking a little about the Olympics, I heard mention of consulting lawyers, insurance agents and possibly the local LEO's but that is just a rumor. This match is filling up and these last few weeks will get crowded. Come join the fun and shoot a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the way to go specially with all the Round Up being used. Bulldozer: now there's a machine I always wanted to operate. Maybe Boots will let me on it if I get there early enough. I promise to avoid people and buildings. I'm bringing lots of bullets for you and anybody else that cares to buy them. Maybe some special Black Gold prices too.
