Blackpowder shoot and the Devil
 

Some of you mayremember we talked about a blackpowder shoot. Hopefully those of you that were interested in coming are still willing. If so we need to set an exact date and plan some of the events.
In the meantime I wrote a theme song. Goes like this:

"Devil Goes to South Dakota"
The devil went up to south dakota
he was looking for a shooting match to steal
He was in a bind cause his blog was way behind
he was willing to make a deal

When he came across this ol man loading his knight
and loading it hot
and the devil jumped upon a haybale and said :
ol man let me tell you what
I bet you didn't know it but i shoot blackpowder too
and if you care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you


now you shoot pretty good ol man but give the devil his due
I bet a cva made of gold against your knight
cause i think I'm better than you

the ol man said my names weasel and it might be a sin
but I'll take your bet, your gonna regret
cause a Knight is the best that's ever been

weasel load that smokepole and you better shoot hard
cos hells broke loose in South Dakota
and the devil deals the cards
and if you win you get this shiny Accura made of gold
But if you lose the devil takes your Knight
and says I told you so

The devil opened up his gun case and said I'll start this show
and fire flew from his fingertips as he loaded that smokepole
and when he pulled the ramrod from the barrel it made an evil hiss
then a band of cva groupies chimed in "he can't miss,
he can't miss"

when the smoke cleared ol weasel said
your'e a pretty good shot there son
but sit right down in the prairie grass and let me show you how it's done


you're playing with fire on the prairie ,run boys run
the devil showed up before the rising of the sun
pyrodex in the flashpan ready to go
weasel is the recoil bad
no devil no

It was midday when the smoke cleared
and they headed back to eat
as they layed them targets on the ground
the devil bowed his head, he knew he'd been beat
he laid that golden cva at weasels feet

weasel said 'devil come back if ever you wanna try again
I told you once you son of a gun
Knights the best that's ever been


and he was playing with fire on the prairie
run boys run
devil showed up before the rising of the sun
pyrodex in the flashpan ready to go
weasel is the recoil bad
no devil no

i forgot these guys volunteered to play the song

Oh man!!! If you and Semi ever get together to write something, we could be in a world of hurt...

chetmarks you have got to get you a second job son. You just got way to much time on your hands.:barmy::barmy::barmy:

:happy0001::happy0001:That is tooo funny.
I want a you tube video of you and your family singing that.:cool15:

All i can say to that is DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Great little tune you got there, maybe you should go to work for The CD Band! Hey by the way, Knight is the best thats ever been

sequel:

He gunned it into the pasture
in his big humvee
slid to a stop for everyone to see

Jumped out on the hood
then up on the roof
shouted "Weasel I'm back,
this time I brought the Wolf

Three shot group
I can cover it with a dime
I'm gonna beat you Weasel
no stopping me this time

Weasel said OK Devil
I take that challenge, you're on
I'll have my Knight ready to go
and meet you at dawn

The sun began to break upon the horizon
early the next morn
the Devil arrived on the scene
toting power belts and blackhorn
standing tall like a legend about to be born

The accuracy of the Wolf
would surely be felt
victory is mine cackled the Devil
as he loaded another powerbelt

Down range they flew
shot after shot
Never stopping to swab
till the barrel was red hot

When the smoke cleared
an evil grin broke across his face
where once there was a bulls eye
now just a jagged hole in its place

To be continued.

Oh! that really is a good one... A great creed - think you should send that to Gordy!!!

I think he might enjoy it in an email. I bet he would get a kick out of this thread the most. :D

i can cover'em with a penny, not a dime........ YET!

This might be the best reading thread I have seen on this forum yet!!

Let's see how well they do at your shoulder instead of in a machine rest. :s2:

X2 Never used one of them there lead sled gizmos! just don't seem natural! Ray

UHOH now it's gonna get ugly:hit:

well now the last time i said lets do some shooting off hand, all the responses were to shoot off something solid so it'd be equal! I know you old timers can barely stand or walk without a cane or walking chair :D It just wouldnt be fair now!

Well sonny, ifin you an sum of de other younguns will hep me out der ta da range I'll probly be able to shoot off of sum sticks or bags or such. But I sho ain't gonna use one ah dem dagfangled things that hold the whole dang gun for ya. :poke: :s2: :arms:

i skinny! i need all the helps i can get holdin them heavy guns with my noodle arms LOL.

That was awesome!

:happy0001:I love it!

Be carefull my friend. I'm only 40 and feel like 30. I will be there if you are.:wink:

I'm 55 -feel like 75 -but for one day, just one day I hope I can shoot like I'm 25 :s2::s2:

Shoot you youngsters.... I am really old and if I could just figure out away to get rid of Montana - the distance would not be that bad... I drove from Billings to Miles City once! and that is a long way...

Shooting off something solid and a lead sled are 2 totally different things! Ray

That's easy to solve. get someone to go with you. Get to Montana at night.Let them drive while you sleep.When you wake up you will be in Wyoming and almost here. You will never know Montana existed.

Shucks Sabotloader, do you have any idea how much nothing there is in the 1400 miles between New Orleans and Martin S.D.? I drove through Kansas one time and got real excited when I spotted a guy on a tractor about a quarter mile off the side of the I-70. He was the first sign of life in many, many miles.

Shoot Wyoming is not that far - been there lots - so I gotta go across Wyoming. Well Wyoming is not that big but Idaho is down there. Still a loooonnnngggg way.

We used to drive from Missoula to Rapid City every Christmas with screaming kids in the car. The interstate was just in pieces, and it was better to drive highway 12 than highway 10, which is now I90. Roads were always icy, and the trip was always tense. Tires were not radial, and the options in nicer cars was an automatic transmission and/or a radio, and heater. Geez, do you remember when used car ads used to read the car came with a radio and heater?

The trip from Moscow to Batesland is a piece of cake nowaday. The roads have shoulders; cars have cruise, and one can listen to story tapes, or satellite radio.

Gawd, it is a long ways across Montana. Shorten your trip a bit by driving 212, instead of I90, between Custer Battlefield, and Belle Fourche.

Shoot now I am going to have to git some maps out and do some studing.... Printed your directions Ron....

This is going to be a little farther than I drive for a weekend range session at the hunting lease. My wife thinks we should "stop along the way" to visit my son in Sterling Heights, Michigan. :o If we do that the round trip will only be a little over 3600 miles.

I don't recall that I've ever driven that far for a shooting session before. :s2:

OK Semi's map inspired me...

Only 16 hours 4 minutes from here to there... I can do that in a day...

1000 miles 20 miles per gallon 50 X 3.5 = $175 x 2 = $350 RT. Thinking...

See, I knew I never should have moved out of Wyoming. It would have only been about 6 hours instead of 12. I've been trying to convince the wife she would be a lot happier if she lived somewhere that had mountains, I wonder if this would count as a legitimate reason to move back.

About 508 miles for me. I hope I will be able to swing it. :wave:

I was thinking I could maybe hitch a ride with MD, but I don't know if I could handle the ride back when he doesn't have that gun anymore. LOL!
