Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I like to take known lines or phrases and then "Tweak" them to both evoke the movie, show, song or event and at the same time reinforce the stage sequence in the shooters mind. Badger sweep? "We don't need no stinkin' Badgers" Painted Lady sweep? "Paint it red; all of it" A Two target dump? "I got two guns - one for each of you" Twister sweep? "Lets twist again - like we did last summer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 One of the biggest & in some eyes the best shoot in Australia is held by the Gold Coast Gamblers in July..unfortunately not for the last 2 years because of the China bug..it's called the Heartland & a lot of the shoots themes are based on 'cards as it's the Gamblers. A few years back it was 'kings & Queens' & those were the words for all the 12 stages..I thought it was a great idea..always good to have a line to get you in the groove & in this case instead of forgetting etc they were easy to remember.

Jackalope Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The stages I've written for the last several years have a quick story about what caused the gunfight and the starting line comes from the story. For example: At the trial, the judge asked, "Mr. Smith, exactly how did the gunfight with your neighbor start?" Mr. Smith replied, "Apparently, when your neighbors show you their new baby, it's offensive to say, 'Better luck next time'. That's what started the gunfight." Indicate ready by saying, "Better luck next time." At the beep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually pick a theme, such as lines from a particular movie, or John Wayne lines, or Clint Eastwood lines, etc. However, sometimes I just make 'em up. Like one of my favorites is to have the shooter start holding a tin plate and say, "Possum! I love Possum!" Possum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutthroat Cody Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 personally I LOVE LINES from cowboy movies you say before shooting a stage. Myself I came up with a shoot based on lines from Josey Wales and there were ALOT OF OTHERS! (Tombstone, Wyatt Earp etc...) It really adds something to what we all enjoy .

Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I like to have the lines relate to the story of the stage most of the time; however, I have two that I often refer to: When there are progressive sweeps: "I hate Progressives" (political) When there is no line: "No Line" Rev.
