Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 4,165 Posted July 21, 2018 It will be difficult to top my posse last time. Johnny Meadows (PM), Kid Sopris, Nellie Blue, Silver Heart, Pecos Clyde, Coop. Washoe Kid, Kica Mandalay, Otto Insure, Ramblin Rose, Aspen Filly, Mini Me and his dad... If anyone can make it memorable, Mongo er. Shooting Bull can.

Creeker, SASS #43022 1,817 Posted July 30, 2018 So I was thinking... I always hurt myself, get sick or just plain over stress myself the week of Eldorado. Between setting steel and preparing for the match and trying to shoot well. It's just too much for me. So I think I am going to make Desert Scorpion set all the steel this year while I supervise from the shaded coverings. You think there's any chance she goes for this?

I was just thinking about what a match might be like if I was rested and healthy. What was it? Four years ago; I pretty much collapsed on the 2nd day and you guys wouldn't even let me run the timer anymore. Think that was the year I was in the ER on Sunday. Two years ago? I broke a bone in my left hand (my dominant hand) on the second stage of the match. Lots of Ibuprofen, ice and a completely numb left hand made shooting Gunfighter an adventure. Yeah... I'm definitely making Scorpion do all the work this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you wear her out at setup, who’s gonna make sure you and I drink water, don’t dehydrate, and don’t work too hard?? she has single handedly kept us healthy on several occasions. I hate to admit it, but we actually kinda need her around and healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to admit it, but we actually kinda need her around and healthy. Dang it... I do love her too. She is the driving force on any posse regarding water intake and heat reminders. And she gives no nevermind to age, position, reputation or your opinion. When Scorpion comes over to you and hands you a bottle of water and says, "drink and go set down"... You do so. As an aside; the latest who's coming list is posted on the website. According to Charming, we are about 20 shooters ahead of the same time last year. And I promise plenty of iced down bottled water will be provided to keep all of us hydrated and healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creeker, SASS #43022 1,817 Posted August 5, 2018 Interesting day on the range today. Had a reporter from the local newspaper come out to watch our match. He does print columns and online content as well. Took some videos and interviewed a few of the more talkative shooters. Talked up our upcoming state match and at the end of the time; actually got him into a gunbelt and had him firing all the guns. Really think he enjoyed it and hopefully we provided him with some content that encourages others to come out and see us or play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
