zzslope Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Hey Paskiing sucks. Any new info on if the horseshoe pitching at the can thing is a tournament or not? Quote
PASKIINGSUCKS Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 It is indeed a tournament. Just called em and the said there might be some free play time afterward if the tournament doesn't run too long. Signup and practice starts at noon til 2. Tournament starts at 2 and runs as long as it takes. Any leftover time after the tourny is gonna then go to free time if anyone else wants to play, but the event ends at 5. Guess I should have asked how many pits theyre gonna be playing on to get a better guess on how long it'll take. I'd be up for making a team though and getting in on the tourny action if that's what its gonna take to play some shoes. Now I'm wondering if they're gonna try and charge people for it. Quote
zzslope Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Posted July 6, 2012 I just called bear creek (5pm - 7/6/12), there is no entrance fee for the tourney or the can thing, it's pay as you go. They have room for 30+ players, 1st come 1st served. If it's not raining, I will be there around noon. Long hair, long beard, riding a motorcycle. Quote
PASKIINGSUCKS Posted July 7, 2012 Report Posted July 7, 2012 Sounds like a plan man, I'm gonna try and get there around noon as well weather permitting. I'm in a big white toyota t100 plastered with boat, ski, and beer stickers. That's assuming I can get my cv axle changed this afternoon. Hottest day of the year......why not work on the truck haha.

zzslope Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Posted July 7, 2012 See you there, I may be in a grey toyota corolla w/roof racks, depending on the weather . Quote

PASKIINGSUCKS Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Had a blast yesterday at the can classic. It was nice meeting ya Allen. Didn't stick around to see how ya did at the horseshoes but I assume ya made it further than I, we got knocked out in the second round. I did make off with one of those sieze the summer Pabst cardboard signs though, so that was kinda like a consolation prize haha. They sure had some tasty beers at pretty reasonable prices. Kinda wish I had gotten into some of the food too, it looked pretty damn good. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Sounds like a blast..I waited for 3 hours for a ride from Molly and TTC6 but they never showed. I'll definitely try to make it next year even if I have to hitchhike. Actually, I doubt you will... Quote
Winter Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 You're right Bear Creek doesn't have the vertical I desire. Why you always down on BC man? Quote
toast21602 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Why you always down on BC man? because he hasn't gone down on anybody else in years. 1 Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 because he hasn't gone down on anybody else in years. Too easy... Quote

Kinda wish I had gotten into some of the food too, it looked pretty damn good. Very good time. Good to meet you paskiingsucks. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but had fun doing it. Loved it when I hit the one pin with a pitch and the pin went flying, I got a small sledge to put it back in and the ground was hard as concrete. I would like to help with the tourney next year, a couple of small improvements would make it more fun. I think it could have been a singles tourney, there weren't that many entrants. It would move along quickly with a couple of alternate rules, like play to 15 and count all scoring (all shoes in scoring range count with no cancelling). Thanks to mgguy for doing a great job. (MGguy look up horseshoepitching.com, click on how to for pit layout.) Quote
Shadows Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 does it bother anyone else that a PA business put on a horseshoe tourny? Quote
mgguy Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks zzslope, enjoyed meeting you and paskiingsucks! I passed on the comments not only from you but also some other tourney participants, hopefully we can improve it next year! It is tough to pound stakes into baked hard ground that is full of stones though. I think you are on the money- a singles event to 15 would have been fun. Quote
zzslope Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Posted July 14, 2012 does it bother anyone else that a PA business put on a horseshoe tourny? Shadows, I don't understand your point, why would/should that bother us. Thanks zzslope, enjoyed meeting you and paskiingsucks! I passed on the comments not only from you but also some other tourney participants, hopefully we can improve it next year! It is tough to pound stakes into baked hard ground that is full of stones though. I think you are on the money- a singles event to 15 would have been fun. The ground was rock hard. I have a diagram showing how to construct temporary-above ground pits, they use them indoors, involves a little welding. Nice to see a post from you. Quote
skeer_tomas Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 I have a diagram showing how to construct temporary-above ground pits, they use them indoors, involves a little welding. Do share! Quote

It is tough to pound stakes into baked hard ground that is full of stones though. I think you are on the money- a singles event to 15 would have been fun. I too would like to see it as a singles event, or the option at least. I will definitely come to this event next year and drag several friends along as well, everyone I told about it was sorry they didn't attend. Also thanks for being cool, I may or may not have one of those sieze the summer PBR signs framed and now adorning my cottage wall. Quote
PASKIINGSUCKS Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 Dude doug, you gotta go to the grill or trails end on any given weekend. You know BC holds about 4 weddings a weekend right?? Can you say drunken bridesmaids???? Quote
