January 2007 Newsletter:
Fifty
nine shooters registered for the January shoot. The
weather forecast all week pointed to a cool rainy day
but we had really good weather for the match. This and
excellent scenarios made for a great day of Cowboy Action
Shooting.
We
had two new hombres shooting with us this month:
TSlim
Gil
Campos
Welcome pards, we hope you shoot with us again soon.
Fiddleback
was on top of his game and won it all; but he just beat
out a visitor, TallDrinkAWater, from up north (Possum
Trot) who was shooting duelist no less. Two of our most
consistent shooters, Marshall Too Tall and Sunshine
Billy placed third and fourth respectively. The rest
of the top ten shooters were Slater, Tabasco Jot, Horseshoe
John, Kenesaw Kid, Fast Harley and Keystone.
Last
Kiss, shootin’ gunfighter, took the lady shooter
honors. The other top ten ladies were Deadeye Diamond,
Roma Jane, Feather Dancer and Two Dogs Runin.

Posse
Highlights
Posse
One:
We
were fortunate to have Keystone as our posse leader,
and, as usual, he ensured that the posse went through
the stages smoothly and safely. He shared the timing
duties with Deadeye Diamond, our newest RO and a junior
shooter at that. This was her first time and did really
well, in spite of all the “coaching” from
the “seasoned” RO’s and some friendly
ribbing from Studmuffler, her brother, who had to take
a reshoot. Studmuffler, also a junior shooter, is really
moving up in the rankings; coming in as the top male
junior and 18th overall. Several cowboys shared the
scoring duties and thanks to Cookie Lynn and family
for their help picking up brass.
Kenesaw
Kid (Sr) and Keystone (GF), placed in the top ten; good
shootin’ pards! As usual, El Carrera looked really
good shootin’ gunfighter; who would want to face
such a formidable figure in a confrontation on main
street? It was good to see Jalapeno Papa and Flash La
Brew shootin’ again; they did not appear to be
very rusty and had a good shoot. Blue Ridge Mike, Tennessee
Hawk and Copperhead Coot seemed to have a great time!
And Calibre 45 shot clean, again.
