The last time the creek was up it was about 4”s over the bridge. I think most vehicles are safe to cross except the Prius, those will probably float away. 2 Quote

There may be a special lower price on Tesla trucks in a few months....they should make it across the bridge. Well, only if they are not trying to tow a camper. 😎 Kajun Quote

Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 The rain continues here in North Alabama. Many of the people at the state match will tell you it was the Wettest they had seen the range. I would have to agree with them. We have had another 2 inches of rain. Soggy ground out there right now. 2 Quote

T-Square Posted August 7 Posted August 7 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 6, 2025 T-square Declines Invitation to Southeast Regionals "Ambush at Cavern Cove" [Johns Creek Georgia] — On behalf of cowboy action shooting competitor T-square, we would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the organizers of the Southeast Regionals; Ambush at Cavern Cove for their generous invitation and continued dedication to the sport of Single Action Shooting. After much consideration, T-square has decided to respectfully decline participation in this year’s regional match. This decision was not made lightly and is based on personal scheduling conflicts and current commitments that prevent full preparation and presence at the event. T-square holds the Southeast Regionals and its participants in the highest regard and greatly values the camaraderie, skill, and spirit of competition that define events like Ambush at Cavern Cove. The match is a cornerstone of the regional circuit and deserves the full attention and energy of every competitor. While regrettably unable to join the posse this year, T-square wishes all shooters a safe, spirited, and successful competition. We look forward to future opportunities to ride the trail again and reunite with the fine folks who make this community truly special. Satire - smiley face emoji 5 Quote

Diamond Jake Posted September 10 Posted September 10 On 8/28/2025 at 10:37 AM, La Sombra said: Also what is the course of fire for Long Range Single Shot? La Sombra Good Question! Marshal posted the course of fire, but I can't find the post. The last few years it's been 10 shots at five targets, each an unknown distance less than 200 yards. One year it was shooting off sandbags for big bore and cross sticks for Big Bore Black Powder. Last year both matches were shot standing, rifle resting on a padded rail at shoulder height. Quote
Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted September 14 Author Posted September 14 (edited) Looks like we will need a couple of volunteers to run the long range side match. We can offer you all the long range shooting you can stand. Long Range Course of fire Centerfire Rifles 1 shot on each 100 yards 125 Yards 150 yards 165 yards 200 yards.

Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted September 22 Posted September 22 This match is definitively on Holli's and my radar. Like to be able to make this match, then continue West to Land Run for our second visit there. Not this year, probably not in 2026, but after Holli retires, then it's a done deal. 2027 is looking promising! Hope you all have a fantastic match and beautiful weather! 3 Quote
