If you only stop by, bring that Rottie with you! I'll stop by. I may or may not bring Rosie with me. We're still learning about each other. Rosie is supposedly 4 years old, but by Rottweiler standards, she is kind of hyper and still behaves like a puppy. Definitely far more energy than any other Rottweiler I've encountered.

bgavin Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 My doc says I can resume in April. I do have some doubts about 8 sutures (4x bypass) so close to a coach gun with a steel butt plate. I could do Josey Wales if need be, or SxS from the hip if the range master has all day for chronic misses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Crimes Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Three monthly club shoots a month is the norm for me. I try and make two or three bigger events a year on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimber is 4 or 5 and starting to chill more, but when she gets a hair across her ass; gawd do I wish I was 20 years younger. Wouldn't trade her for the world.

Major E A Sterner #12916 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I try to make 2 to 3 matches a month, weather permitting. This will be my 26th year of shooting CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Sawmill Mary stopped shooting in 2021. She didn't say, but I know arthritis was getting too painful. Last winter I got down sick and just couldn't throw of it. Went to doctor. Ran a lot of tests and druged me down to the point that I only have enough energy to function. And no stamina. I shot two matches last fall. I could make it through a stage and then set dawn. By 6 stages I was exhausted. I want to think I am or will improve but not much encouraging progress yet.

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I shoot the same couple of cowboy matches, The Autoloader match and our Workshirkers match with Ranger Dan( he beats me) and attend all the after-the-shoot meals. I excel at the meal time activities. My feet hurt but I continue to go. I miss not getting to shoot with Blackwater and Will and Latigo and a bunch of others I see at lunch from time to time. The socializing has a larger appeal than it did in time past. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 26 years having to be out in every kind of weather generally leaves me a "decent" weather shooter. This Saturday will be my first shoot of the year, just got my confirmation back from Shootout at Cavern Cove, so looking forward to more shooting!

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 WELL!! I got some news today that moves me closer to putting rounds down range again!! I went for an ultrasound on my left leg, (they checked the right one too!) and the results were bad news for the doctor and great news for me!! My circulation is excellent!! Better than someone my age should expect!! One more possible problem eliminated!! Foot doc tomorrow morning and a much better attitude for dealing with this round of treatment!! Do I smell smoke??

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Balance, endurance, and shot-to-hell legs took me away from anything but shooting from a bench at a local range almost 10 years ago. Doesn't look like ever be able do it again. I have a lot of guns, but I just can't bring myself to sell them or any of the rest my gear. My kids will get some but the rest will go to Riata Pass Auction. In the meantime I'll be content ro have more guns than Switzerland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd LIKE to get back into it, but finances being what they are, it's just not happening right now. If and when the economy gets back to something approaching normal, I'd like to get back to it. Failing that, I still like to come here to converse with mostly like minded people such as yourselves. Besides, SOME of you make me look normal by comparison. ..... I'm pretty much in the same boat, ......... but upside down ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you could try BP loads in the shotgun. No sharp recoil, just a little push. Worked great for me after shoulder surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Haven’t shot in about 3 years now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 No less then 2 a month mostly 3 matches a month. Not as fast as I once was, but me and wife still enjoy and looking forward to each match. This year because of outrageous Motel costs, it well maybe my last State Match. These cost us around a 1000.00 a year with gas, food, entry fee, Motel bill, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finagler 6853 Life Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I haven't been to a shoot in a couple years. Life got in the way. A couple of surgeries, my shooting buddies grew up and found the opposite sex so I lost them, my older pards rode off into the sunset, I bought a lake place and find the pontoon very relaxing. I want to do some more shoots this summer between travel trips with mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Mosby Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 We stopped attending about 15 years or so ago when things got to hard physically and financial issues curtailed discretionary spending.

Mister Badly Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I started SASS after I retired in 2019. Taught myself to shoot Outlaw in 2020. I shoot twice a month plus Kentucky, Alabama, and Tennessee State matches plus Black Gold and the SE Regional. I'd like to get to Georgia State, the Bushwhack, Ides, and a match at Paradise Pass. I sleep in my camper topper to save money when available at the range. Plus I get to hang out with the other campers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen here Blackwater you old buzzard bait, when I am traveling around the states I plan on meeting some you SASS member and you happen to be one of them. As ornery and cantankerous as you are my plan is to give you the biddest ration of bovine feces that I can muster up, then go shooting with you. Now I don't want to here that whining and crying feces how your big tow or something else hurting to get out of shooting with me. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I’ll be at Black Gold for sure and hopefully at Tennessee , Kentucky, and Georgia state matches this spring/summer. Whether or not I’m shooting depends on how much my foot is healed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
