Southeast Regionals November 6-9 (Cowboy Action)

Crunchy Frog · Oct 3, 2014

The "Geechee Gunfighters" will host the Single Action Shooting Society's Southeastern Regional Championship match, the "Gunfight at Givhan's Ferry 2014" at the Palmetto Gun Club near Summerville from Thursday November 6 through Sunday November 9. For detailed information check out the website: http://givhansferry.homestead.com/

Thursday begins with optional "side matches" including a black powder match in the morning and a Wild Bunch Action Shooting side match after lunch.

Friday and Saturday are the "main match stages". If you are interested in cowboy shooting, the main match stages are representative of what we shoot in our monthly matches. I always recommend the "main match" days to visitors.

Sunday morning is the wrap up with cowboy church, a salute to our veterans, main match awards and the top shooter invitational "shootoff".

We are fortunate to have the Regionals in our state. The Palmetto Gun Club is very spectator friendly and there are no hills to climb as you stroll between the shooting bays. No charge for spectators; "eyes and ears" are required to enter the area of the shooting bays. There is also a well attended vendor area, usually with some good deals on reloading components and shooting accessories in addition to cowboy stuff. Think of it as a gun show with no admission charge.

Post a reply here or send me a PM if you have any questions. I'm looking at my schedule to determine whether I am able to shoot the main match or at least "day trip" down to watch some of my friends shoot.

If any forum members make it out to the match I'd appreciate your posting a reply with your impressions.

I'm planning on being there Friday. Hope to see you there. I'll be wearing a cowboy hat. You can't miss me. :lol:

Funny. Even if you said, "I'll be the one wearing a cowboy hat, and chaps, and spurs," it would be hard to find you in that bunch.

Unfortunately I'm not shooting the Regionals this year since I am not able to take the time out of the office. I have the option of "shooting through" (kind of like "playing through" in golf) by shooting all ten stages on Saturday but that's a lot to cram into one day and my wife is not able to shoot right now.

Please do let me know what you think after your visit. That club offers a monthly "introduction to cowboy action" on the 2nd Saturdays so if you like what you see this Friday go back and check that out.

If you run into "Shamrock Sadie" and "Knot Hardly Dunn" tell them "Corpus" said howdy.

Will do. Catch you at another event.

Dave, did you make it to the Regionals? What did you think?

Dave29461 · Nov 8, 2014

Io wish I could say I had a ball but the truth is life intruded on my plans. I had AC repairs and workmen show up in Am instead of afternoon so I had to remain at the house while they worked inside and out. Sat was spoken for already and Sunday is not mine to play with. I will get to a match or an introductory event if it kills me. Look forward to meeting up sometime.
