It
was another great shoot with stages written by Moonshine
Roberts with a little history thrown in to
help stimulate the mind. Thanks Moonshine for the
stages and the history lesson.
We
had a good size group show up for set-up and clean-up
on the Sunday before the shoot. I do believe we will
have the same arrangement next month but that will
be Fast Harley’s call since that is the weekend
of July 4th. We will need as much help as we can get
since the heat can be a little overwhelming that time
of the year. Also, the quicker we get done the sooner
we can start shooting. Yes we shoot after set-up and
have a great time shooting different styles and sequences.
If
you have some stages you would like to see shot, please
submit them to Fast Harley so he can peruse them for
timing and safety. We try to keep each stage an average
of 30 seconds for all shooters. That means some will
shot in the 20’s and some will shoot in the
40’s but all should average to around 30 seconds.
We
also had five new shooters attend the orientation
class we are now offering. If you know anyone who
want to start shooting with us this is a great opportunity
for them to learn about CAS and SMSS along with what
happens during a shoot and anything else I can demo
for them. We will be holding another class in conjunction
with the set-up.
The
Smoky Mountain Shoot-Out will be the March 26th –
28th, 2009. We have swapped the second weekend with
the forth weekend in March so we will not have a regular
shoot next March. We are talking about invading another
club but that is a ways down the road.
There
are a lot of state shoots coming up so if you want
to attend a SASS sanctioned shoot plan on attending
one of our neighboring states such as the Alabama
State shoot October 3rd – 5th or the Tennessee
State shoot hosted by the Wartrace Regulators October
9th – 11th over in Wartrace, TN. I mention these
two shoot since they have both agreed to recognize
the Outlaw Class and I will be attending both of them.
Until next time keep your powder dry and your lead
down range.
See everyone next month,
Long Days and Pleasant Nights
Tennessee Tombstone
