I am glad we are only having one shoot in February this year where my attendance is required. The other ones I go to are due to a loose screw or worse.

We are getting close to the Smoky Mountain Shoot Out the last weekend in March. We have over one hundred shooters registered now with more applications coming in each day. If you want to shoot please get registered so we can get a firm count of shooters and get the posses assigned. We are pretty sure that this year we can all shoot and work if you want to. We will be running the two posse system with both morning posses and afternoon posses, so if you shoot in the morning you can still help in the afternoon and vice a versa.

We still have a few days of work to do at the range to get ready. We need to put a roof on one front, build an un-loading shed on bay six, and flush out the building we had delivered last week. Lets plan on working next Sunday, the 25th. We will start about 1:00 and go from there.

It was great seeing the shooters last week-end that braved the cold and, well cold. We had a strong field of contenders from both Wartrace over in Middle Tennessee and Hooten up in McKee Kentucky. Thanks for making the trip and I look forward to seeing everyone at the Smoky Mountain Shoot Out.

As I am sure just about everyone knows by now, Dangnabit Deb is in the hospital and undergoing treatment for Leukemia. She can not have visitors at this time and is keeping everyone posted on her treatments on a webpage called Carepages.com. We have a link and instructions on how to get a message to her and keep up with her progress on our forum as does the Ocoee Rangers. Please keep Deb, Keystone and their family in your hearts and prayers. They also have an account set up at Medic for blood donations in Deb’s name. Just tell them you are giving in Debbie Brenneman’s name when you donate.

Please watch the forum for updates on work days and the upcoming shoot.

Long Days and Pleasant Nights
