Blackwater 53393 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 We made it to Manchester and checked into the motel. After we get the car unloaded and get a bite to eat, I reckon we’ll head to the range. Y’all c’mon!! Safe travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hot and sunny today!! Folks came down the pathway from the range smiling and carrying on!! The Cowboy Olimp Picks started this afternoon with the team shoot and a bracketed man competition called The Drag Race! Fun times! Then they had a Snake Stompin’!! It involves running through the grass and smashing eggs, barefooted!! The final event of the day involved small pools with water in ‘em? I think it just may have been the most popular event of the day! They moved on to side match awards and finally, karaoke with T-Bone emceeing!! All in all , A WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN’ GOIN’ ON!!!!

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 We, (the band) got off stage a little before 1:00 am Sunday morning and plans for next year were already in the works!! Again, WHAT A PARTY!! They gave away TWO Dillon 750s, a beautiful “in the white” ‘73 in .357/.38, a nice cap’n’ ball revolver, and at least a dozen other super nice works of art and prizes. We auctioned off a gorgeous quilt, funds going to Folds of Honor, and the winner offered it up to be auctioned off AGAIN!! I was busy on stage at the time, but I think that the two auctions took in over $1,200.00!!!! The fish fry was delicious, as usual and there was PLENTY to go around!! Dessert wars, beverage wars, and snack wars all produced delightful entries, and the “Chaps ‘n’ Chinks” contest was........ “INTERESTING”!!! Even with the attendance down a little due to the Covid epidemic and the resulting dip in the economy, we had numerous current and former SASS World and National champions in attendance! I personally heard many of them say that they have The Black Gold Shootout on their calendars EVERY YEAR!! SO!! Thanks to Copperhead Joe and the WHOLE Ponderosa Pines crew, (‘Specially Daddy Boots and Miss Rose!! And don’t forget the cooks!!!!) for making this another one to remember!! AND!! Thanks to all you Cowboys, Cowgirls, Duelists, Frontiersman, Gunfighters, and Outlaws for making this happen!!! Without all y’all, this couldn’t happen and it’d just be our hosts working so hard for nothing!! You are truly our VIPs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Harley,SASS#34953 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Sorry we couldn't be there; Would liked to have seen the tribute to Wally... Would have liked to give a Jedi salute to Billy.

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Harley! I wasn’t able to shoot and only got up to the range a couple of times. With any luck, Tombstone will pipe up here in a bit and give us the lowdown!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear, howsomever that ole Koda Joe had a tussle wif a piece of voodoo dollery and had a squeak in his chinks. You just never know what ole Koda Joe will be into next. Anywhoo, many thanks for Copperhead Joe, Iron Maiden, Whiskey Creek Johnson, Catatonic, Ringer and all the rest of the fine folks that did all the work behind the scenes to put on yet another fun match. It's become a social event where a gunfight breaks out and everyone has a great time. Can't wait till the next one! Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
