Yul Lose Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 It’s my first visit as a shooter and I’m really looking forward to it. Doing a warm up match at 11:00 in the morning. Kinda caravanned out here with my pard Buck Garrett, he beat me by 3 hours. We picked up our shooters packet this afternoon. Looks like a fast, big, close and fun match. When I got onto CAS in 2007 everyone always told me that I’d have to shoot Bordertown so here I am. I’m going to share a lot of pictures over the next few days so be prepared. Right now we’re getting a wind and rain storm from the looks and sound of things there could be some wind damage. This evening we’re going into Tombstone for dinner and hopefully find a place to watch game 7 of the NLCS. Entering the range.

Cholla Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 It rained like Noah should build an ark as I was nearing Bordertown today.

That rain started about 2 PM. We got two stages of the Plainsman completed before the deluge hit. Oh well. We shoot the Blast (warmup) tomorrow. Sunny weather is forecast for the rest of the match.

Are they going to try the Plainsman match again later? I was wanting to see it.
Choctaw Jack Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 If they have any extras, I would buy one of those calenders. Very nice!
Tn Tombstone Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 My favorite match and I have missed it for the last few years. Enjoy the match and the town.

Too Tall Bob Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Sorry I missed you coming in. I was out in the rain with the Plainsman folks. I guess they decided that standing out in a lightning storm holding an “Iron Rod” wasn’t a good idea. I got home to Tucson at the tail end of a hail storm with hail up to 3/4” diameter. Yikes! The box you dropped off is beautiful. Thank you for your contribution. I have your 16 ga. stuff in my car waiting for you. I will see you tomorrow. TTB
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 I enjoy both those spots. More so the Crystal Palace. Oddly they have good pizza. Of course I enjoy Bignose Kates, Doc Holidays, and Four Deuces also. Have fun. bb

Go West Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 BT is our favorite match and look forward to it every year. If you like taco salad, the Crystal Palace has a good one.
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Thanks for the photo,Yul. Sorry I missed you. Maybe next year. Tex
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 I am jealous - I used to be able to make Bordertown almost every year (Tucson and Tombstone) but have missed the last few due to time, health or finances. Love not just visiting Tombstone; but Bisbee (cool little artist town and the Copper Queen mine tour is awesome) and Sierra Vista (usually stay in Sierra Vista; more food choices and all the modern needed conveniences as well). As well as Kartchner Caverns and all the surrounding area. The Creeker crew will be planning on returning to the fold next year. Those of you there this year - have a blast.

I'd been looking forward to it since last year. I'd shoot @Howlin Mad Murdock SASS #4037's plainsman matches every month if I could.
Yul Lose Posted October 25, 2023 Author Posted October 25, 2023 Here are some shots of todays warm up stages. FAST, BIG, CLOSE and fun, fun, fun. Straight forward stage writing and plenty of options to do it your way. Can’t wait for tomorrow.
