Here
we are at the end of anther year with 12 more great
shoots behind us, more if you shoot other places. It
has been a good year for our club; we have quite a few
new members and we even saw a few older members that
had not been around in quite a while. There are still
quite a few cowboys and cowgirls that have not been
with us for quite some time. I sure would like to see
some of those people show up sometime in 2009.
I
want to remind everyone that the SMSO
will be March 26th – 28th in
2009; we need as many volunteers as we can get to
make this the best match so far. Get with Keystone
to volunteer your services. We will need people all
three days along with a group on Sunday to help clean
up the range. Please plan on helping if you can.
A
few things at the range, please do not park your vehicle
up near our first stage. I would like all vehicles
to be kept from bay 2 down to the parking lot. If
you are handicapped we will work with you and if you
have something to sell please drop it off and use
a tent or use your tailgate down at bay 2.
Second, the shoot is not over until all the steel
is put up, please stick around and help your posse
put up targets before you just pack up and leave.
The
club has voted to sponsor the 2010 Tennessee
State Shoot if Wartrace decides to give it
up and ORSA chooses to host it. I will keep everyone
informed on this as it progresses. I started this
newsletter before Christmas and was about to send
it to Digi-Guns to post when I got an email from Will
Riley at Wartrace. I have been informed that the 2009
Tennessee State Shoot will be in Memphis and the Wartrace
Regulators would apply for the 2010 State shoot again,
so at this time the Tennessee State Shoot will alternate
between Memphis and Wartrace. We will continue to
host the Smoky Mountain Shoot-Out.
If somewhere down the line we want to host the Tennessee
State Shoot we can apply to SASS.
Set-up
has been announced for January 3rd in conjunction
with Last Kiss teaching both RO1
and ROII. We will also have a shooters class if anyone
would like to attend one. Set-up at about 12:30, shooters
class at about 2:00. Come visit and pitch in to get
the range set-up for the New Year.
Lady
Tombstone and I hope everyone had a Merry
Christmas and has a Happy New Year. Be safe and have
fun.
See everyone next year!!!!!
Until
next time, keep your powder dry and your lead down
range.
Long
Days and Pleasant Nights,
Tennessee Tombstone
