Well, the Smoky Mountain Shoot-Out and the Annual SMSS meeting and elections are behind us for another year; Now that I think about it that is not totally true on the SMSO, we are already looking to next year and working on the 2009 shoot.

Most of our officers stayed on for another term. The only change is Foreman where Fast Harley was elected after El Carrera opted out to concentrate on the Shoot-Out

The range is looking very good and I for one am very appreciative to ORSA for the support and money they have poured into the Action Pistol Range. Now if we can get a little grass growing we will be in high cotton as the saying goes. I also want to thank Preacher Red for planting a few plants on the berms. If you look around you will see some lilies and a few yucca plants.

We are looking for scenario to add to our library of stages. If you have one or some please get those to Fast Harley for review. If you submit some stages and they get changed around a little bit it is due to safety and time. We can’t have a 50 second stage in front of a 30 second stage or the long stage gets backed up and it gets worse as the day progresses.

We will be having a work day coming up in the near future so watch the forum for the announcement.

I am also starting a bullet order for X-Caliber, I will take orders for about 6 – 8 weeks, so if you need some lead send me an email or post on the forum and I will add you to the order. I am waiting on pricing now but if you are waiting on the price of lead to go down … good luck. There are many bullet manufactures either going out of business or not taking orders. Candlelight Kid has been very steady on his bullet supply and he also has started shooting with us and is now a member of SMSS. I like to support our own when we can.

Until next time keep your powder dry and your lead down range.

See everyone next month,
Long Days and Pleasant Nights
