NEXT MATCH:  April 23^rd

Desperado Declares March is a good month for shooting, (heck, every month is good for shooting.)  It rained the night before our match, but Sunday dawned clear and dry with no wind. Some of our shooters recently returned from the SASS national championship at Winter Range where the weather was pretty rough. I'm sure they were looking for better shooting conditions. We’re especially glad for them that it didn't rain on our shoot too.

Congrats. to Dixie Bell and Garryowen; they not only won their categories, they also shot our match clean. I was on stage eight when Lusty Lil came over and told us that she had just shot her first clean match in about five years.  She was pretty happy about that.... Good Shooting Lusty! Thanks to High Country and Lusty Lil for helping out on the posse leading dept. Hope to see ya all next time.

Thanks to the good folks who donated door prizes

Buckeye Flats, Philadelphia Fred, Rumshot and Solomon Star.
