Rumblings in the Desert - EOT 2024

[Yul Lose]

See you on Sunday, thanks for the updates.

[Sixgun Seamus]

Good Morning  from Ben Avery and the ACSA Roadrunner Dust-Up.

[Rattlesnake Slim]

Sixgun Seamus and Cayenne Kay are in the house! You will find them out bright and early Wednesday morning on the range, gettin' it done.

[Sixgun Seamus]

Work officially starts tomorrow but shotgun targets went out yesterday and stages and firing lines are being plotted and marked today. 

[Rattlesnake Slim]

Here's a shot of Match Director Red River Wrangler setting the firing line with Wooden Nichols, Deadly Sharpshooter, and first year Ranger Aldo Carnage. That firing line from Stage 1 through Stage 12 is over 1,000 feet long.

The generators got delivered today. One 150 KW to run the event and one 125 KW for backup to insure an uninterrupted good time.

Let me get this straight, while everybody is working hard getting the range set up.

Your job is to walk around and take pictures?  Rough job if you can get it!

Oh I get it you are getting your trigger finger in shape!
