Oak Ridge Outlaw Old School Match

[Jackalope]

I would like to invite you to join the Oak Ridge Outlaws in an "Old School" match on Saturday, April 30.   This match will go back to the original SASS shoots when much of the non-shooting action was on the clock.  The targets will still be big, close and entirely hitable, but you'll have to perform some of the heroic feats that made TV and silver screen cowboys legendary.

Among other things, you will meet the notorious Bean family.  Some folks love them, others hate them.  You'll also have the opportunity to help out a partner who is in dire need.  There will be horses, arrows, snakes, bullets, and bandits galore.

Leave the idea of 20 second stages at home, come with a sense of humor and I guarantee smiles and laughter.

Sounds great. If the creek does not rise and God willing I will be there. 

[Jim Mayo]

Sounds like fun. Got it on my calendar and hoping nothing comes up and get in the way of my attending.

[Keystone]

Well,

That Jackalope Jasper is one wild and crazy guy. Should be a fun day.

Hasta Luego, Keystone

[Uncle Ethan]

Sounds like fun. What's the start time?

[Jackalope]

It looks like we'll be back to summer hours in April.  Sign in starts at 8:30, safety brief at 9:00 and shooting right after.

[Jackalope]

Fair warning!

There will be some rifle and handgun knock down targets.  You will also see some rifle and handgun reloads on one stage, so bring a some extra bullets for each!

One stage requires 12 handgun shots.  This might be a good time to consider how to safely and efficiently load the extra two rounds on the clock.

Hope to see you there!

[TN Mongo]

Yikes!  Please consider letting people load the extra rounds at the start of the stage.

[River Jordan]

sounds like time well spent

reloads are fun!

TN Mongo ---if you have a progressive press your reloads should shoot faster so don't worry.......

RJ, very funny!!   Reloads on the clock are things I don't miss.  I used to mark my stainless OMV with a sharpie so I could find the empty chamber.  Our evil stage writer in Cleveland loved to make you reload pistols after you had fired 5 rounds.  I'm afraid he will start doing it again if he comes to the shoot next week.

[El Paso Slim]

I am looking forward to a reload on the clock, Mongo, if you are not near sighted you won't have to worry about getting your mustache caught in your Pistol cylinder, if you are I will ask for a rules clarification allowing for a pard to hold a magnifying glass for you.

Jackalope, the "prop" we discussed this past Saturday is already in the car.

Jackalope, the "prop" we discussed this past Saturday is already in the car.

Thanks, Mongo!  Is he riding back seat or shotgun?


Everybody, don't get too freaked out about reloads, etc. 



They will be the least of your worries...

 

[Keystone]

Well,

Heck Jackalope, you have been amongst us long enough to understand the panic when something new is introduced. You know, the Henny Penny Syndrome. Speaking of chickens, just be sure Mongo leaves his sweetheart chickens at home. I believe last time Too Tall kind of fancied them. Or was that Ocoee Red who was envious of Mongo.

Hasta Luego, Keystone

Jackalope, the critter is hibernating in the back cargo area (Kitty Kat wouldn't relinquish "shotgun").

Keystone, funny you should mention the MDR chickens.  I was just holding one of them that day, Red did things with one of them that's illegal in 27 states.  I was talking to Kitty Kat this morning about writing a match for Cleveland about the return of the MDR chickens.
