Hoss Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 As you may recall, last month when shooting with the Plum Creek Shooting Society I managed to shoot a table. MDQ. I fessed up, took my penalty, counted, and took a lot of harassment. Today at the pre-shoot meeting I was called up by Big Iron Patnode and presented with a “new” poncho. Made from the blanket on the table. Complete with holes Prickly Pear Peggy did the needlework. It’s nice to have such good friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Sombra Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Hoss, Now all you need is the door to a pot bellied stove hanging under the poncho. That would complete your outfit. La Sombra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I shot a table once with a .45, at a fairly flat angle. Bullet went about three inches along the top and stopped. I still have the bullet. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think you shot the table on purpose just so's you could get a poncho. BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been shooting CAS for 10 years. I have met and made wonderful friends in that time. Guys (& gals!) whom I would trust not only with my money, guns, (life for that matter, cause we are playing with real guns!) but many whom I would trust to take care of one of my grands.
