What a waste of time

[Wildcat Will]

It just seems like you should have to take the rifle and pistols down and clean them out . . . . at least one a year.  After all we are shootin the holy black and everyone one knows it is a pain in the ars to clean.

Well phoey I say !!!!!!!!!

I just took down my Marlin for its annual cleaning and I an wondering now why I bother.  Normally after a match I will remove the lever, pull the bolt and clean what I can git ta.  I will give it a good squirt of Balistol but it back together and go to my next match.  Then once a year I just figure you should havta take it down and clean it out.  So I just did.  

What a waste of time.  About six swabs later I was done.  It took me longer to take it down than it took to clean it.  

Ya think we should tell folks BP is not the cleaning problem everyone thinks it is?  Or should we keep it our little secret and let them think we really spend hours cleaning?

I was going to spend tomorrow taking down my RVs but I am starting to wonder if there really is any point.  Ifn it aint broken....

[Frenchie]

Well phoey I say !!!!!!!!!

For Pete's sake, keep it down, will ya? The smokeless shooters think we're a bunch of really dedicated hardcore living historian demigods who sacrifice ourselves for hysterical historical accuracy. We gotta keep that aura going! 

[Dick Dastardly]

We are them Demi Gods, er, whutever.  We do spend more hours cleanin' than shootn'.  It's the truth, all of it.         NOT!

But never let 'em know or they'll start hangin' around askin' all kinds of foolish kid questions and we'll have to spend all our palaver time teachin' the dark arts to a bunch of the heathen. . . .

DD-DLoS

[Arcey]

Yanno, fellas, could say sumthin' real sarcastic 'bout the Myth Sayers whut shoot the Holy Powder but I won't.  It's taken two years of walkin' the Darkside to unnerstan their ways but I think I've figgered it out – helps keep the good stuff to themselves.

Ain't werried 'bout the werd gettin' out from here. Those who shoot the heathen powder are afraid to open this forum.  They think they'd have ta wash their 'puters out with soap 'n hot water then stick it in an oven fer an hour ta dry it out.......

Will, if yers didn't fill yer wreckeration time ya kin take mine home with ya next week.  Ya already know the Marlin werkin's 'n that'd give ya a chance to learn the ways of the Uberti.  'Course they ain't dirty either but whut the heck...................

[Wildcat Will]

Arcey, I aint sure I cud handle one of dem Itailan jobs  

Think I will open up the RVs so if asked I kin say I dun it.  Need to keep dem non-believers scared.

[Steel Horse Bailey]

They ain't dry yet, Arcey?

Waalll, put 'em out on the line ta dry!

Howdy, Will!  Long time, no see!

[Arcey]

Heck, Will.  Figgerin' on shootin' the Buntlines since ole Ned is scribbled in the stages.  Just take the stock off'n the other one 'n shoot 'Modern' with them clickity-click sights on it.  Give ya an edgykation wit sumthin' ya kin really get yer hands on......

Steel Hoss, mi amigo.  Don't tell nobody.  I put 'em thru an old wringer then iron 'em.  Used ta wring 'em out by hand but that kept changin' the POA/POI.  Prolly why I had that ONE STINKIN' MISS - skooze me - last shoot....... 

[Wildcat Will]

Steel Hoss howyadoin?  I've been gittin edumakated so I bin away from the eeelectronic teligraph fur a bit.  BTW had a great Christmas and plan on havin a smoky new year. 

Arcey ya bring dat long barroled pistola and we will see what is what next weekend.  Afta cleanin da rifle, I sur hope it will still shoot whar I point it.

[Sod Buster]

  Afta cleanin da rifle, I sur hope it will still shoot whar I point it.

Ya might be needin' a foulin' shot or two....see if the RO will allow you to load two extra on the first stage. 

[River City John]

For Pete's sake, keep it down, will ya? The smokeless shooters think we're a bunch of really dedicated hardcore living historian demigods who sacrifice ourselves for hysterical historical accuracy. We gotta keep that aura going! 

Say listen, light a match if you're gonna keep making that aura!

[litl rooster]

 " I don't pity you cleaning all them guns"    Hehehe .   



Not long till "Thunder in the Brush III" bet we may find a Darksider there or 3

[Wildcat Will]

Rooster, I sure hope there are a few smokers there!!!!!!

Maybe next year we can have a parallel match called Smoke in the Brush!

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Gee - then, the NEXT year, we could hold a match in an old school and call it:


"Smokin' in the Boy's Room"

All together, now ...

Grroooannnn!   

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Arcey:  Glad yer takin' good care of 'em.  Otherwise, they might feel un-needed an' un-luved!



Howdy again, Will!  We had a good 'un too.  Do ya feel smerte ... er, smartt ... er, smartarsed .. aw, hecky-dern.  More intelligent?

[litl rooster]

Rooster, I sure hope there are a few smokers there!!!!!!

Maybe next year we can have a parallel match called Smoke in the Brush!

I like the way you think

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Friction

[Wildcat Will]

Yeah.  Kinda like when the Scarecrow got his deploma in the Wizard of Oz.

Its kinda like I always say. . . . Smoke em ifn ya got em!

[Arcey]

Smoke em ifn ya got em!

I would but the neighbors be complainin'.  Wait 'til Saturday......

Oh BTW.  Just finished a book on the Scorpion.  Ya might wanna get on the other posse...................

[litl rooster]

 To bring this back to Topic, mebbe the last staged in SASS should be a timed gun cleaning stage.......


Then of course there should be bonus for large quanities of smoke and for kilin' targets< ones that are not KD's

[Wildcat Will]

Killin targets    makin smoke    and great friends  .  Thats what it is all 'bout.

Arcey I would never intentionally want to be in a posse wit out ya.  We have too much fun.   Turkey feathers, smoke bombs and what ever else ya decide to bring on.

See ya Saturday.
