What a pleasant surprise this past shoot turned out
to be. If you stayed home because of questionable
weather you missed a great shoot that not only was
warm but also dry. We had two new shooters, a few
spectators that are interested in shooting with us
and some visitors from Possum Trot. It was good to
see Tall Drink of Water again. I did not get to shoot
in his posse but I have in the past and it is something
to see. I am sure it was a fun posse to shoot with;
I think five of the top ten were in the same posse
with him.
Thanks
to everyone who pitched in to get the range cleaned
up and the steel put away. We had a good group with
good workers.
The
Smoky Mountain Shoot Out is quickly approaching and
we still have plenty to do at the range to be prepared.
We have ordered two prefab buildings that will be ready
by March and we need to build a coral on one stage and
we will have our five bays ready. We also need to put
a roof on one building up at bay seven and build a lean-to
on bay six. We will be working a few Sundays coming
up and we need all the help we can get. There is also
a drainage problem we have to fix pretty soon. We will
be getting new gravel and spreading it in all the bays
and on the road between the stages.
Watch
the forum and help out when you can.
Elections
are coming up in April and I am here by taking nomination/volunteers
for the positions of officers in SMSS. I would love
to have a few people in each position so we can have
a real election. There have been a lot of people asking
what they can do to help the club and serving as an
office is a great way to get involved.
I
also recommend everyone attending the annual meeting
for an update on club activities. The meeting will be
held after the April shoot on the 14th at either the
range or the club house at ORSA depending on the weather.
Be there or maybe be elected.
We
are looking for stage designs for our shoots. If you
have a scenario or two or five please submit them to
El Carrera or Moonshine Roberts and we will get them
reviewed for safety and use them in the coming year.
Til
next time
