This weekend is the “Smoke on the Mattaponi V” located
near West Point Va. The Virginia State SASS Black Powder match. I have not competed there
the past 2 years. Not that I was ever a contending threat for the Championship.
However it was something I was passionate about. So my Cowboy duds are laid
out. Hell yes I can still get into them. Got the guns out dusted off checked
and some “Gun
Butter” applied. Did an ammo count and have plenty to spare. The weather guessers are calling for a great
weekend. So it looks good. No wild crazy looking Black Guns- belt feds. Just
some finely tuned Single Actions and Marksman. Yet there are several you will
swear are shooting Semi Auto’s but, not so.
By this time tomorrow I will do a final check of gear and load the
essentials out in the war wagon. Leaving the firearms till departure time. It’s
funny I carry more to a single day match than a real cowboy carried his entire
life. No matter how many times I try to
lighten the load I still think I need to carry it with me. I would really like to take a Camera and tri
pod but I won’t have time to use it. When I return and post pictures they will
be credited to others, as most I post here.
So if you think the
eye candy has slowed down for a day or so I am sorry, I promise to make up for
it the first of the week. Then get back into the Horses, Pimilco is just around
the corner. I have also been neglecting NASCAR. Maybe some fishing too? So I will get back into that
also. What ever ya’ll are doing this
weekend keep it safe and between the ditches.
Oh Yeah I said Fishing Too
Have a good weekend
