The Tennessee State Championship is rapidly approaching so if you haven't gotten your applications in, please do soon. We have filled up for the last few years and expect too again. Once again, we are giving Molly's Buckles to 1st in Category no matter where you are from. Thursday, Side Match Day will as always be "Are You Tough Enough To Wear Pink Day". We will be collecting money for the American Cancer Society the entire weekend.

 

We will shoot 6 Main Match Stages on Friday and the final 6 Main Match Stages on Saturday. We will have Side Match Awards and Dinner on the range Friday night and Saturday night the Awards Banquet will again be at the Bell Buckle Cafe Banquet Hall.

On Thursday we'll have regular Speed Side Matches, Long Range, Pocket Pistol, Derringer, Shoot The Rope, Black Powder and Wild Bunch Mini-Matches and a Warm Up Match. Everything is included in your entry fee! Sign up soon and join us for the fun.

 

Also we are the final leg of the Magnificent 7 and the Awards will be presented at the Banquet.

 

Hope to see you at the range!

I love love love the Reckoning! Great stages, great facilities, great awards, great door prizes and most of all great people.  The Burt Bunch will be there.  Our apps are already in and our AirBnB is already reserved in Bell Buckle.

We will be camping at the Sale of Champions horse park again if anyone would care to join us. It is in Shelbyville about 20 minuets from the range without the train.

I pan to get there on Tuesday afternoon, the rest of the crew is looking at Wednesday afternoon.

 

Camping is full hook up, grass spots, sometimes water front but not often, still $50/night

if you plan on camping send money and name to

I've made my reservations.

 

The JEDI GUNFIGHTERS will be sponsoring the Side Match Speed Rimfire stage on Thursday.

If your a JEDI GF, be sure to drop by.

 

Right now, yours truly is battling Pneumonia of sorts.  But, the doctors plan for me to be back in

the saddle before the State.   This stuff wears me out.

Started a month back with a bad allergy (sinus infections) and when previous treatment didn't

remedy my ailment.....I was checked for the 'P' and confirmed today.   New treatment plan has 

started.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Bring your best and fastest speed rimfire lever or pump rifle and lets find out just WHO the 

real 'Huckleberry' is.

Hear tell Ole TN Williams is afraid to even try!   :)

Apologies for a thread hijack/side question. I shoot this in steel challenge and am getting just fast enough to outrun the trigger.

What are some guns which would be legal in this match in SASS? And no, I won't be attending this year but y'all made me curious for later. Which is why my profuse apologies come with the question.

JK,

Most of the shooters use lever rifles while some might show up with a pump.   No bolt or semi-autos allowed.

 

Rifles range from various Henry models, Winchester 9422, and Marlin 39.

There are a few Browning lever .22's.

Man, I wish I was able to make it.

 

Anyone want to sponsor my airfare from Las Vegas to Tennessee?

 

Of course; if Widder ever sees me shoot - he might move to revoke my Jedi status.

Unfortunately, I didn't win a Molly's buckle. If you did, please post a picture, this years will be the same except for the date.

 

Thanks

Randy

You might check with the Chicken Foot Kid.....word on the street is he robbed a part of the Molly buckle shipment off the Poultry Post Office wagon last year. 😇

Really nice buckles, really nice people, really nice match! We wish we could attend again this year but just can't make it work. 

Wish y’all could make it again as well, it was a pleasure meeting all of you. Thanks for the buckle picture.

Right now the Vendors on site are:

 

Denham's

CSA Bullets

Bullets By Scarlett

Outlaw Bullets

Kitty's Kloset

Marion River Woodcraft

Tell's Primers.    Tell is hoping to get an idea of how many to bring so if you'll PM me your email address I'll send you the price list. He is making a 3 match trip when he leaves home ending at Tennessee so if he can get preorders, he'll make sure he brings enough (pay when you pick them up).

 

Slater's In House Guns will also be on site doing Laser Engraving

I hope to be able to post a “Who’s Coming List” by this weekend. We still have room so if you’re interested in joining us please get your application in soon. 
 

I found another picture of a buckle from last year and the only thing changing is the date. Molly’s buckles are for First in Category no matter where you are from. 
 

We’re only about a month out so I hope to see you at the range.

You'll love it.  If you haven't already made arrangements, I suggest looking into an AirBnB in Bell Buckle.

T-Square, glad you're making it to Wartrace, I am pretty sure you'll like it! All hits will be easily attainable provided you don't exceed your speed limit.🤠

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

My APP was finally approved and confirmed.  

TN Williams offered Whiskey $140 'NOT' to let me shoot so I had to offer more

to get in.    It helps having friends in high places..... :)

 

I got my reservations in Bell Buckle, right next door to that ice cream parlor.

 

This could very well be my 1st match since last November.  Just getting over

a spring case of Pneumonia.  That stuff ain't healthy for ya.

Youins ought to know by now that a fresh batch of pneumonia medicine is being dispensed on Friday evening.  Heck, you might get enough to be cured! 🤪
