Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Absolutely, going to depend on the dates. Right now I don't have to take vacation days for eot.

Diamond Jake Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I'll be retired by 2022, so time off won't be an issue for me. I might need a few more bladder breaks during the drive by then, though. Right now I do several 9 hour driving days for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Correct me Rattlesnake Slim, if I am speaking incorrectly... The name Winter Range will go into retirement. That name will now take the name EOT. Nationals will no longer be Winter Range... I suspect that the new name for Nationals might keep the name of Land Run? Big changes, and in my opinion, good changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see the Territorial Marshals changing the Name, so I also assume that Land Run will continue. But now as the National Championship. Which sound Great to Me !

That's a very territorial reference and not in line with a National Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get out to WR in '17, but had to fly. Not that much of a deal but it may be for some folks. OKC does seem like more of a central location though. We have debated going to wr but for our family it would use our entire shooting budget for the year. Oklahoma just may be doable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Oh Phantom.... Using that logic since End Of Trail implies that the Trail Ends at a specific location, then EOT is also specific in it's region thus Not Inclusive to the rest of the Country.

Don Coyote, SASS #63736 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Will EOT continue to have as many aged-based categories as they have had recently or more like WR? We'll see. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a nationally known event for years going back before it became the SW Regional. It’s a non issue from my perspective. my 2 cents, nothing more.

John Kloehr Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Exactly, and it is most definitely regionally ambiguous. But this sport is about the fantasy Old West as portrayed by Hollywood. So while my Tequila-fueled comment is not on point, proposing a name from a well-known Hollywood Western would be a reasonable suggestion. Even if the name of that "location" came from a line in a movie filmed in Italy. I would see that as appropriate not that I have given the same consideration you have to the current chosen name. Maybe next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they only have two bays with down range movement. Shows how much I pay attention, only been there 7-8 times since 1998. I'm spoiled all of our local ranges have berms and we have lots of movement both laterally and downrange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
