Tequila Shooter Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Widder that’s great news! I hope you feel as good or even more better after the match. I’m also hoping you and a bunch of the other scoundrels from the Ocoee Rangers will be there next month, I’m going to be in Blue Ridge, GA and plan on attending the May 22nd match. Now just got to convince @Tennessee williams that the match is on the 23rd

Now just got to convince @Tennessee williams that the match is on the 23rd Tequila, Thanks. And maybe we will end up on the same posse. Hopefully, I should be shouldering my SG by then. And with some good luck, I hope to be close to 'form' with it. I can't relax and let Red Knee kick my butt next year on the side match 97 competition..... ..........Widder

I thought about Josey Wales but for now, I don't want to push myself or test my limits by getting too involved. I'll shoot pistols and .22 rifle and see how that feels after the match. Doc advised that I still take things a little slow and gradually get back into my old routine. ..........Widder
Frontier Lone Rider Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 I would, as you, follow the doctor's directions.
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Show up and have fun. Even if you only fire one shot and take misses for the rest, you got to shoot the match. Be well. Maddog
Cider Creek Shootist Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Hope you have a great time and take care of ya self. Your gonna get to shoot , and no one has to reset the SG targets win / win .
Tequila Shooter Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 With all those misses you’ll probably still beat me next month
Chief Rick Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Widder, best of luck to ya and don't forget to take it easy. I may just ber shooting my first match in over a year within the next 2-3 weeks. I'm looking at the airport from my hotel window.
Silver Creek Jack Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Glad your up and around Widder, sounds like you went through a rough time, have fun at the shoot however you decide to do it! SGJ
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 I know what it's like to be out for med reasons. Take your time and get back where you need to be. Take care.

Copperhead Joe, SASS # 39162 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Glad to see you back at it. I have been down with a rotor cuff for a few weeks and that has been hard, can't imagine what you have been through. Let me know when you feel up to working on a 22 for me.
Rough 'N Ready Rob Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Widder, Well how did it go shooting? hoping well. Or did you get rained out? looks like you had some bad weather out your way. Rob

Or did you get rained out? looks like you had some bad weather out your way. Rob Thanks for asking. I shot the match and earned ONLY 1 pistol miss. Naturally, it was on the biggest target... I didn't use the SG and collected misses for those. I finished somewhere in the low 30's out of 40+ shooters, so I can't complain. I had fun. Its hard not to have fun with the Ocoee Rangers. It didn't rain till about the last stage so basically, most of us only got a few drops on us. Take care. ..........Widder

I to have had by-pass surgery, the issue with the shotgun is either the recoil against the shoulder, which transfers to the chest, or the torque of shooting gun off the shoulder. As your sternum has been wired together, extreme care has to be taken to not to break those wires until completely healed. If you do, you may be setting yourself up for a life time of problems.
Tequila Shooter Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 I’ll say that I’m a little disappointed that even with all those misses that you still finished in the “low 30’s”, I was hoping that I might’ve had a chance next month when I’m there to beat you . Seriously glad to hear that everything went well, but don’t expect me to give you any breaks next month. Looking forward to shooting with you and all the Rangers next month.
Mister Badly Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Well Widder, I'm going to shoot my first match in a year next month. Alabama State match. So it will be my first match in a year, my first State Match, and my first match shooting Outlaw. What could possibly go wrong? Lol
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Why not have substitute shotgunner - you fire your pistols/rifle and when it comes time for the SG you mosey over to position and stand there while the sub retrieves the shells from your cartridge belt, loads and fires the SG for ya. Saw that team action with Deuce and the mighty Furball. GG ~

My goal was to get outside and play a little with my Cowboy Pards/Pardettes and have some fun. I shot my rifle and pistols casually and wanted to make sure I didn't overdo meowndangself. I felt good the whole match, but I must admit that I sure was tired after the match and slept a little in the truck on the way home. Ocoee Rangers have some fantastic Shotgunners and I would have been honored to have any of them sub for me. BUT, it just wasn't that important to me. Hope you are doing well. ..........Widder

But I did like the part about being heartless. My wife would also add 'Brainless' to that sometimes..... And I would often add 'Penniless'. If I ever venture North, you'll be the first to know and the 1st stop-over I make. Keep em smoking. ..........Widder
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Widder i'm taking that as a promise !!! Best of Luck and may you prosper in these next years , I may be penniless soon as well as i'm Pastoring a small Church now ... With my enumeration being a 75 bucks a month Book allowance ... Sounds like my Wife and yours might be kindred Spirits ,, My wife says i'm Good for nothing, and Kind off Stupid .... All my best wishes to you and yours ... Jabez

Barkeep Casey Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Gunner, I can assure you he had a good time. Every time I saw him he had a big "Possum Eating Grin" on his face.
