Howdy Pardners!
We had a good turn out for our April shoot and good weather to boot! We had 31 shooters – several were new to us. And, we had our first “junior shooter” . . . “Little Whiskey” – who did very well in all aspects, especially in safety.
We had an excellent showing of support for our first set up of the year. Thanks to the following 12 people: LPL, Raunchy Rick, William Clemmens, Elk Creek Ken, Jeremiah Grimm, Nawlins Kid, Bad Finger, Cactus Jack, Sandy Steel, South Dakota Slim, Lone Flyer and Shorty Morty. This first set up took a little longer than usual because some of the people had to leave early for previous engagements. But it felt good to start another year of shooting.
We tested our new target on stage one. The only concern we had related to this new target is that it is not as loud when it is hit as our old targets were. But it can still be heard as long as the counters pay close attention.
We achieved our goal of starting on time with this first shoot of the year and we plan to continue doing so.
Our “dish to pass” meal was a success. The food was great and there was plenty of it! Our compliments & thanks to all the cooks.
Look forward to seeing you’all in May. Feel free to bring a friend.
Raunchy Rick
PS – Sorry about the 10 minutes of rain during teardown. I tried my best.
