Ladies and Gentlemen,  and you too Waimea!!  

 

... it is still up in the air as to whether I'll get to shoot the whole match, or maybe just shoot a couple of ceremonial stages. 

 

A MONTH AND A HALF 'TIL THE BEST PARTY IN S.A.S.S. THIS SIDE OF THE BIG MUDDY!! (maybe in all of S.A.S.S.!!) 

 

Dang, I cannot turn my back on you.:lol:

Thank you for not including me in that "gentlemen" category. 'Fraid I got thrown outta that one a long time ago. About the time I found Cowboy Shooting as I recall.:lol:

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.

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.

I have the RV ready and waiting... The Outlaw belt is on the line once again, I will have The 2016 CBAC World Champion of Outlaw shooting  {Fast Hammer } send the belt in, then it will be on like Donkey Kong!!!!!  Y'all know the rules if the current winner can't make the Outlaw match the belt is forfeited  and is up for grabs. Good Luck.

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.

Buy a tent. It's a blast.

Facilities are great. 3 flush toilets and 2 hot showers.

I will pass on suggesting an alias. I am still reeling from picking my own.:lol:

Maddog, there are several nice hotels in London, about 25 miles away located on I-75.  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.

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.

But, you may call me, "sir".

 

Or, "Your Highness"

 

 

 

I got something to call you but that sure ain't it! It does have a JACK in it though.

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.

Looks like I'm gonna miss this year's fun, my wife (Chootin Cheryl) is having knee replacement surgery on June 21 and I'm gonna be her nurse/chauffeur/cabana boy to take care of her and ferry her to her physical terrorist sessions. I've shot the last 4 Black Gold Shootouts and it's always a fun time and family reunion. Ya'll have a good time and make sure ya'll consume my portion of Copperhead juice :blink:.

Waimea, I know what you mean about working harder after you retire, I understand Boots has been so busy spreading round-up since Obama retired him, he has hardly had time to run his bulldozer to get to the really high weeds.

 

See you in a few weeks my friend, are you bringing me some bullets this year?

 

(still have Dr Hook running through my head)

I'm thinkin' bout what you said NO NET.

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. :o
