October 2009 Edition

Howdy Folks!

 

Well fall weather is finally upon us once again. The weather was just great this weekend and it sure added a special touch to help cool things off after a long hot summer. Sam Ootie, Miss Barah Lee Misditt, Mad Trapper of Rat River and WonderinÕ Rose put on a great match this month which had a lot of folks using their noggins for something other than a hat rack. I think there were even a few ÒPÕsÓ acquired when the smoke cleared too which sure kept the day from being boring and added some extra fun to boot. Thanks guys for a great weekend.

 

We will be going to winter hours now with the shootersÕ meeting starting at 8:30 and the match starting at 9:00 am. But our time changes Nov 1st back one hour so we will be loosing one hour of sleep Saturday night (Halloween evening).

 

We had a new shooter last month by the name of Kate Barlow who had so much fun with us that her husband Badger Clark wanted to join us as well this month. Both are experienced shooters since they were both in the military but this is a very different style of shooting and so much more fun for them both. We are very glad to welcome them to our campfire.

 

We also had some other fairly new shooters join us, Utah BlaineÕs wife Deadwood Donna, and Cole Beer (no photo). Welcome around our camp fire and hope to see all of you here again next month.

 

 

We will be having our famous She-Bang! match this next month which also happens to be on Halloween weekend. Since the match falls on Halloween (Saturday) and November 1st (Thanksgiving month) Sunday, the ladies are stirring up some special stages to give some extra zip to the holidays. There will be a Halloween theme for Saturday and a Thanksgiving theme for Sunday. So if you can, dress up for Halloween but please be sure you are able to shoot safely in your costume. There will be a costume contest later in the evening and a potluck too. There will be trick-or-treating for the kids so bring extra goodies for the little ones.

 

So with so much going on this coming match please make sure you donÕt forget to bring some extra ammo and a dish or two for the potluck to share and some candy for the trick-or-treaters. Oh, and donÕt forget to have some fun too. I know this will be a great weekend for everyone.
