[Woody Shootem, SASS # 24816]

Howdy folks!  Just wanted to let you know that there is still time to register for our annual three day match "Shootout at Stoney Bottom" on September 11-13 in Gibsonburg, OH.  If you're looking for a fun two-day match with friendly folks, fast and furious stages, a side-match extravaganza (with side matches you've probably never heard of!) and great food, then this is the event for you.  We have plenty of dry camping on our level, gravel parking lot.  You can find the application on the home page of our website.

what are your side matchs

Good question, Blackjack!

 

There will be a Wild Bunch mini-match match at 9:00 Friday morning.

 

On Friday from 12:00 - 4:00 we have:  Speed Pistol, Speed Rifle, Speed Shotgun (Double Barrel Hammer, Double Barrel Hammerless, 1897 &  Lever Action), Pocket Pistol (single and double action), and Derringer.  For Long Range events, we have:  Pistol-caliber Rifle, Big-Bore Lever rifle, Big-Bore Single Shot rifle, B.A.M. (Bolt-Action Military with reduced loads), and long range pistol.  There is also a .22 pistol side match and a .22 rifle side match.  You can bring your own .22 guns, or borrow ours.

 

At 4:30 on Friday we have a "Snake Shoot". (ad hoc teams are formed to use their main match shotguns to move snakes (12” sections of garden hose) a short distance as quickly as possible. The team that takes the shortest time to move their snakes across the designated line wins).

 

At 5:00 on Friday we have our "Heaven or Hell" tournament: Two water bottles are tied to a rope (one at each end) and suspended over a pulley. Using .22 pistols, at the buzzer, two cowboys will shoot their bottles as many times as possible, causing the water to leak out. The lighter bottle will move upward (toward Heaven), the heavier bottle downward (towards Hell). The “Heaven” bottle is the winner and will move on to the next bracket in the tournament.  This is a particular favorite with the Stoney Bottom Regulators, as most of us are running side matches and don't get to shoot much -- this tournament takes place after all other side-matches are completed.
