hopalong Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 As seen in the Last Shots forums, Tim Lott from Mississippi has reloaded his wheelgun his last time. Tim was a constant on the Mississippi Revolver scene and will be sorely missed. Now that it is early enough. We should all try to make the Mississippi Classic and shoot in HONOR of Tim.

nashvillebill Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm hoping to be there. Look forward to seeing a bunch of wheelgunners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 No competition from Kansas this year. They went with a SS only venue and it's not even a "SANCTIONED" Match. They're not going to even send in the activity as a club match. Quite disappointing. Having a hard time justifying a trip to Mississippi on my own though, I'm still reeling from building a Limited set up, buying a Production set up and going to the '07lpRNats. The only competition this year will be the SW ICORE Regional in Richmond on Saturday May 17. But you never know about those California Boys.

hopalong Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Psky, Sorry to hear that. The way things are going up, I might just retire from this profession while I'm only up to my neck in the hole. Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwana Six-Gun Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) OK guys, if you check the match anoucements section you will see that John has sent in the stages for approval. We want the wheel gunners to make a showing this year. I missed out on reviewing the stages, but I know John and the rest of the guys picked the good ones. Crank it up and get to Jackson for a wheeling good time. Edited March 13, 2008 by Bwana Six-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James, You send in your entry and mark Revolver and I am sure that we can talk Big John in to letting you shoot with the RO's. Where were you this week-end? Missed you at the Southern Regional. That was a GREAT match. Annette, Elliot, Gary, Barbara and the rest of the crew out-did themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwana Six-Gun Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 James, Congratulations!!!! That is a good reason to miss a match, but tell me, don't you know what causes that? Have you started building his guns yet? Hope to see you in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could get vacation AND permission from the wife, I'd be there with bells on! Deal still stands for the Gator Classic this year. Was gonna shoot SS at the Gator. If you and James are there with the wheel guns, I will be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashvillebill Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Application is on the way. Hope to get to shoot on the revolver squad, if not can I hang out and watch Friday? How late do the festivities go Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Shooting generally done by just before noon, and prizes/trophies within an hour or so...........usually some stage take down involed between last shot and trophies. Don't look for a "revolver" squad except on Friday.Many locals that work the match will be running a wheel. See you next weekend and then there Bill.

hopalong Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 James, Darn, I'll have to work friday so I won't even get to see you having such a large time. Oh well, at least you'll have the most fun you've ever had in a shooting match. without running over me at that ! Hope to see you there before you get gone.

John Heiter Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well, it's May 1st. Stages are up on the match website. I encourage everyone to review them and please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or notice any issues. Oh, and Sam's right. We do have a bunch of wheel gunners shooting with the RO's on Friday, but if we get a few more signed up (only need about four or so) and you guys are interested, I have no problem shuffling things around to make a revolver squad. As long as everyone is in agreement, I'll leave it up to you guys. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Six-Gun Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 John, Make up aRevolver Squad for Friday, even if you have to include some bottem feeders to fill it out. They can just watch while the rest of us have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
