Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 33 minutes ago, Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 said: Can you get that down to 4.3? Randy Actually, yes. But I doubt some of my best runs will ever happen during a good contest. And, I think that is probably true of most shooters, not just me. I've seen Red Knee, Boxx Car Kid, Tater, Sidekick, Deuce, Santa Fe River Stan, Arcadia Outlaw, Copperhead Joe, Missouri Traveler and others who's name eludes me this early in the morning, shoot a 97 like they were born with it in their hands. AWESOME Shooters and a credit to SASS / CAS. But when a super speed needs to be run during a side match, something always seems to happen that prevents that perfect run. Sometimes, the shooter can have a great run but one of the targets fail to fall. Regardless, Red Knee and I have done this enough to know how to have a blast and make it fun for others to watch just how clumsy we can be, especially when we get 6 chances to 'train wreck'..... We ain't afraid to go all out and try to get that great run, and we ain't afraid of train wrecks we create on our owndangselves..... Speaking of side matches, I'm eager to watch Slater and TN Williams with their 87's. And although I won't start dragging names into this topic, I am eager to see a few others with those lightning fast SxS. Lets hope for great weather. ..........Widder
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 I agree, there are any number of shooters with each type of shotgun capable of of winning. Then there is the theory that even a blind hog will get an acorn every now and then. I proved that by winning the speed SXS match at the US Open one year. Randy
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 PeDe and I got a few more targets painted this afternoon. Randy
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Hey Randy, I hope I ain't putting a jinks on meowndangself, but IMHO, that color scheme is prone to have more CLEAN shooters. We will look at the black inner portion as the target yet the actual target will be larger. Nicely done my friend. ..........Widder

Whadda ya mean ya didn't see that part of his post.....oh jeez, here we go, seeing things how ya want em to be and using selective hearing......hugh, whatcha say??
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Well, you're half right. I do see things like I want em to be. But about that selective hearing..... not so much. Heck, I don't have any hearing at all..... Here's a nightmare for you: you gotta shoot around me all day on Thursday AND THEN, be on the same posse with me for 2 days. Stay close and observe and you might learn a few things..... ..........Widder

Nicely done my friend. ..........Widder I think it draws my focus in but I still didn't shoot it clean last year, missed one target on the last stage of the match. In fact I have never shot the Tennessee State "clean". I started doing this because a few color blind shooters told me the contrast helped them find the targets. It's getting closer every day, we'll be shooting before you know it. Randy

WHEW......... ..........Widder
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Howdy Randy..Is this shoot always the 2nd week in October ?
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 Yes, the end and Banquet are always the 2nd Saturday in October. Thanks Randy
Tn Tombstone Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Right now it looks like Sgt Eli is on my posse. This is always subject to change but for now he is in good hands so to speak.

Whiskey Hayes #41999 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 All the shooter books are on our web site. This will help you know how much ammo to bring for main match, BP match, WB match and warmup match.
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I was at the range today with Blue Boy. It is looking great. See yall next week Imis
Waimea Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 High of 69 degrees up there. I don't suppose it will be in the high 80's next week or anytime soon. So I will be needing my parka. On a more important note, where are you seeing who's on what posse? Not that I care but... OK, I care. Waimea

Waimea I hope you don't trust the weather guesser's, especially this far out. Do bring your parka though. A few years ago it was 87 at 1pm on Saturday. It was cool(60s) last year. This is Tennessee weather changes rapidly; especially in September/October and March/April.

This weekend we were supposed to get Torrential downpours from the tropical storm. 5". If we got half an inch it was a big deal. Everbody is shell shocked from Irma though. I will bring a sweater and jacket. Thanks Waimea
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 It is supposed to be in the 80's the rest of this week, haven't seen next week's forecast. Also Papa Dave said the Posse lists will be posted tomorrow. See you soon Randy
Tn Tombstone Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Sorry I mentioned the posses guys. Did not mean to open that can of worms. Eight days and counting. This is the first leg of a wonderful trip out west for Lady T and I. We have been getting ready for weeks. I may even get to shoot a midweek match on Tuesday before we leave for Wartrace on Wednesday.
SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Looking forward to this, haven't been able to make very many big matches for awhile.
