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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share 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.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 29, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 29, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted October 3, 2017 Share 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.

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.

Tn Tombstone Posted October 3, 2017 Share 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.
