Desperado Declares

It was a great Sunday.  Our long time good friends came out to shoot with us and we really had fun. Our stage design crew wrote the scenarios just a little differently because of an expected light attendance, but they were still challenging and fun. We formed two posses and got on to the shooting part. There were three new shooters and they all had a good time. One of them is a young boy who's alias is Holster Holiday.  His Dad and he hung out with posse three all day and watched the action. When we were shooting stage eight, our last stage of the day, we lent the young man some guns and ammo and let him give it a try.  Guess what? He cleaned the stage and didn't take long in doing it. Watch out guys, he's going to be hot on our heels.

A special “thank you” to Lead D’Spencer and Swifty Swede for helping put the steel targets away.  That chore gets more backbreaking each month as some of us get older. Hope to see ya all next time.

Thanks to the good folks who donated door prizes

Philadelphia Fred, Rumshot, Saw-yer Wood and Wild Bird.

And to our always favorite vendor:
