                   Rattlesnake’s Den         

 

             Howdy Pards, this here is ole Rattlesnake a’scribblin to ya.  We surely had two fun shoots this month, our regular monthly match and the Mardi Gras shoot.  There have been several ideas forwarded to me concerning improving the range, and we am taking them under advisement.  I will then discuss them with the board and the membership.  For now, I need to review them.

 

             There has been considerable debate with SASS over whether or not a shooter can paint their sights other than blackening them.  It is before the RO Committee for clarification at this time.  I believe that the decision will come down on the side of the original intent which is only blackening the front sight.  At this point, I would caution members to not paint their sights until a final ruling is made.

 

             A charity shoot is being initiated by the club to support Fisher House which will be held over our regular June match weekend.  I strongly urge everyone to shoot this match as it benefits our service folks and their families.  It is a remarkable charity and certainly worth supporting.  See you there.

 

             The membership did a wonderful job of improving the range for the last Hangin’ at Coyote Creek under the “dictatorship” of Fuhrer Kentucky Tom.  This year’s Hangin’ will be the Regional Blackpower Championship along with our annual smokeless competition.  We have several plans to improve the range even more for this prestigious match, and we encourage our members to come out and help to make these improvements a reality.  Look for Tom’s e-mails letting you know when he will be working on these projects.  Yes, the Fuhrer is cantankerous, but he has done a magnificent job spearheading all of the improvements on the range.  I know he will be looking forward to seeing everyone out there.  His able assistant  and “boy wonder” Chipola Kid will be there to absorb most of the abuse, so feel safe.  This is a great honor for our club to host the black powder regional, and we want to show off our best.

 

             I look forward to seeing you all in March.  May the Good Lord take a’shinin to ya, an remember to keep yore powder dry.
