Perro Del Diablo 2,274 Posted September 23 Welcome to the saloon where you get warm flat beer and watered down whiskey but the friends are what it is really about. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 22,334 Posted September 23 (edited) Bottles! Set Ol' Cottonmouth up with whatever he fancies <tosses a double eagle onto the bar> Welcome,sir, to this raggity bunch of ne'er-do-wells, grifters, straight shooters, gents, and ladies! Jump right in, torn ears and gouged eyes get handed back at the end of the night. Great bunch here. Pretty well learned, too. (had to take the dog out) CONTINUING: I don't think there is anyone here who I wouldn't want at my back in a fight or sharing a campfire and pot of coffee.

Cottonmouth Mark 45 Posted September 23 Thank you everyone. Rifle is already ordered. Trying to locate revolvers and shotgun. Have a message to someone about revolvers. Already set a request to Scarlett for ammo (I am not currently set up for reloading. Will be in the future.) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calamity Kris 1,918 Posted September 23 We're neighbors, as the crow flies. Most of the clubs I'm familiar with will welcome you warmly and invite you to visit their matches. Some will even be more that happy to loan you gear so you can try before you sink your hard earned gold into your hardware. A number of clubs have swap meets where you can buy items at a good price also. Welcome to the gang. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A number of clubs have swap meets where you can buy items at a good price also. Welcome to the gang. Many thanks. Already attended and observed a match a couple weeks ago. Many offered to let me shoot. Having shot competitively before, I declined as I want them to be able to focus on their match. Today was a practice day that I attended and borrowed a rifle and pistols. While not great, I am not as rusty as I thought I would be LOL. Only dropped 1 shot. (I let the front sight of the Vaquero I was shooting get a little proud on the last target as I was rushing). Not going to win anything, but I won't embarrass myself LOL. I need to check out your club as Brevard is quite close by. My maternal grandparents lived in Brevard and my mother grew up there. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cottonmouth Mark 45 Posted September 23 May I just say, within even these 1st few hours since I joined, the hospitality and generousity all of have shown equals that that I had at the match and today at practice. I am looking to shoot competively again, but will be moving in 3-6 months. The area I am moving to showed a fair amount of SASS within a couple hours drive. I think my wife may be missing me on Saturdays LOL. Totally enjoying the journey so far. Thank you PS: You will come to know I am dyslexic and can't spell, so offer me some grace LOL. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are a nation of bad spelers and I am their leader. Don't worry, we figure it out or else get it so convoluted nobody will recognize it anyway. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badlands Bob #61228 1,602 Posted September 23 Welcome Cotton. After a brief look around, you will realize that spellin' ain't a requirement for posting on the SASS Wire. Always good to meet the new neighbors to the south. We'll be heading down your way to shoot the Ides of March in November. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
