Howdy all,
Thanks to those who came out to play today. We welcomed 2 new cowboy shooters to the game. They both did well. It’s always good to see new folks come into the game. Congratulations to Dragon who was our only clean shooter today. We’ll be back out tomorrow for wild bunch. The next cowboy match will be Sunday Sept 27th.
Hope to see ya there.

Hey cowboys and cowgirls,
Thanks for coming out to play today. We lucked out, the air cleared some and it wasn’t so hot. All in all it turned into a pretty nice morning for shooting. Congrats to Coyote Carson who was our top shooter for the day. Those shooting the match clean and getting a pin were Blaz N Bill, Shenandoah, Sintree Tulait, and myself.
Our next cowboy match will be Sept 5th and wild bunch will be on the 6th.
Good luck to you that are headed to our State Championship. Make us proud !
