Cowboy News

We had a very nice event with good friends that was a lot of fun. We had 15 shooters but a couple had to leave early. We also had about 3-4 spectators at last count that showed up. Cylinderella brought snacks & drinks, and was surprised to find most of the brownies still there at the end, (Maybe Doc missed them since he was busy working on the Apple Loaf). Kalapaki George decided not to shoot Gunfighter; & he said last month that he needed to find a way to shoot clean, and he must have since he finished 1st in his category. All the stages ran quickly even with having several new shooters which we hope to see back again.

A special thanks to everyone for helping out with all the range duties as well. I do have some pics of this match posted as well as 4 that were sent to me from Oct 2011 on our photo page. To everyone who attended, shot & watched, you made our match a great success. So again, thank you for your continued support and help.

Don't forget we have ROI & ROII classes on March 4th as well as our next match is March 10th it will be indoors - Hope to see you there.

Until next month…..Keep your powder dry; may you shoot straight and ride tall in the Saddle .
