Hello Pardners!
How about that?! The Three Day Shoot has come and gone!! We had a good turn out this year with 43 registered shooters. The set-up was a little longer than usual. It took us 5 1/2 hours but we had the help of 15 hard working cowpokes! Thanks to one & all. We owe a special thanks to Lefty for setting-up and running the” fun shoot” to start things off Friday. Thanks Pard!
Aug. gave us some real HOT weather this year, so to make it more comfortable for everyone, we set up canopies at each stage. The only feed back we received was that ” they could be a little closer to the firing line”. This is what we need to know from you folks. We can’t improve things unless we hear from you. So, keep the feed back coming!
Speaking of making it more comfortable for you , we went through 78 pounds of ice and 40 gal. of water!! When it’s HOT it’s HOT!!! Thank God, for bits of shade and lots of ice cold water!! Think everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it was cooler, Sunday, for our last day of the shoot.
To let those of you know who did not stay for our Sat. meal, it was great!!! It arrived hot, delicious and ready to serve. We of course were ready to eat! Even Heavy Bear agreed, because he knows good food when he sees it. Lord knows he hasn’t missed too many meals!
But don’t get on his wrong side. He’s a Bear that can’t miss – at least at the 3-Day Shoot! Congratulations to Heavy Bear for a clean shoot! Also congratulations to Cactus Rattler, Ironeyes Cody, Deputy Cook, Trouble Shooter, and Jeremiah Grimm! They are at the top of their classes!
We welcomed our first junior shooter Little Whiskey to his first full shoot and first 3-Day Shoot. He got lots of respect when he shot a clean stage!!! Think he may be putting a little pressure on his dad ole Whiskey Wells. They are both top notch Cowpokes and real good workers! Glad to have them our side.
Remember, October will be our last shoot for this year and we are asking everyone to bring a “dish to pass” . It’s been a great way to celebrate another good year of shooting with the finest group of cowpokes anywhere!!
This October the Vile Bunch and all the Long Riders are extending a warm invite to all the “better halfs” to come and join us for our October “dish to pass” feast. Hope to see you all there!!! The more the merrier !!
Looking forward to seeing you in September.
Raunchy Rick
